Times are tough, and they’re not going to get better any time soon. Unfortunately, many individuals, and most especially senior citizens, are neglecting their health because of cost considerations. Individuals who were hoping to have surgery such as cosmetic dentistry crown implants, dental implants, teeth whitening, gastric or bariatric surgery, reconstructive breast surgery, liposuction, hair restoration, breast lift or breast augmentation, facelifts, and other procedures that are considered elective, have put their wishes and desires on the back burner.

Individuals hoping to improve self-esteem or appearance through body lift cosmetic surgery, chemical peels, chin implants, or even those wishing to take advantage of stem cell research and treatments have been forced to put their dreams on hold.

Medical costs in the United States, Canada and Britain are rising, and Americans are waiting with bated breath to see what happens with Health Care Reform plans underway. Rising prescription medication costs, longer wait times and a reduction of treatments and procedures offered by American physicians and facilities have left many discouraged, disappointed, and suffering.

PlacidWay, a US-based medical tourism portal, addresses those concerns by offering certified, accredited, and well researched medical facilities, physicians and surgeons in other countries.  Some are as close as Mexico, while others are located in Central Europe, Russia, South Korea, South Africa, and South America. Whether an individual needs cosmetic dentistry or cosmetic surgery, bariatric or gastric bypass, lap band surgery, rhinoplasty or even cardiac procedures such as heart transplantation, heart valve replacement surgery or coronary artery bypass surgery, they can find world-class and state of the art facilities for these procedures at savings of tens of thousands of dollars over the same procedures offered in the United States.

Cosmetic procedures are some of the most popular reasons for medical tourism. Going outside the United States not only ensures that the procedure will be less expensive, but the quality of work is comparable to more expensive procedures done nationwide. Cosmetic surgery procedure and affordable plastic surgery is designed for people who not only would like to improve the appearance of their face, breasts, buttocks, and abdomen, but those who require plastic reconstructive surgeries caused by accidents, genetic defects and other injuries.

Most Popular Cosmetic/ Plastic Surgery Procedures:

• Breast Augmentation
• Breast Reduction 
• Breast Lift
• Facelift
• Nose Lift Surgery
• Tummy Tuck Surgery
• Liposuction
• Chemical Peel
• Eyelid Surgery
• Facial Implants
• Skin Resurfacing
• Ear Surgery

Undergoing cosmetic surgery not only makes a person feel more confident and raise their self-esteem, but it also helps those who have undergone traumatic events to feel like themselves once more.  Men and women both undergo cosmetic surgery to feel youthful, since those who show signs of aging faster lose confidence in their professional life, as well as their personal life.

Cosmetic procedures in Brazil have been a popular medical tourism destination due to high quality attention and low cost treatments. Check out the Center of Plastic Surgery & Rehabilitation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for their state of the art treatment facility and resort like accommodations. This medical facility speaks many languages, including Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, and Italian.

Cosmetic and plastic surgery is one of the most popular types of surgery undertaken by individuals around the world. As an elective procedure, medical insurance generally does not pay for these surgeries. The opportunities (and massive savings) to be had in foreign destinations like Thailand, India, Columbia, Brazil and Croatia or Hungary are not to be missed!

Popular Cosmetic or Plastic Surgery Treatments

A facelift helps restore youthful contours and improve tone in facial skin and underlying muscle tissues. Incisions made within the hairline, behind the ear, and upper eyelids reduce scarring.

Nose surgery, also called rhinoplasty, is performed to balance the nose or to get rid of bumps or depressions along the ridge of the nose. Incisions are hidden at the nostril base or inside the nose help reshape cartilage and tissues.

Breast augmentation or reduction is a very common plastic surgery procedure that helps to increase fullness as well as to balance the feminine figure. Women who wish to reduce the size of and weight of their breasts choose

breast reduction. Extra fat, glandular tissues and skin removed through liposuction restores proportion.

Liposuction cosmetic surgery procedures that help to reduce fat deposits found in the hips, buttocks, thighs and abdomen of both men and women can be done on arms, thighs, abdomens and buttocks.

Tummy Tuck procedures remove excess fat and skin from areas where excess fat is the main cause of abdominal bulging.

Cosmetic plastic surgery is designed for people who not only would like to improve the appearance of their face, breasts, buttocks, and abdomen, but those who require reconstructive surgeries caused by accidents or genetic defects. Common cosmetic surgeries and treatments include:

· Breast augmentation or reduction

· Facelift

· Nose surgery

· Tummy tucks

· Liposuction

The type of cosmetic procedures performed determines cost. In the U.S., eyelid surgery may cost up to $2,500 and nose surgery can reach $3,300. Liposuction can cost upward of $4,000 per area of the body. Most plastic and cosmetic surgeries performed in the U.S. are not covered by medical insurance.

Increasingly popular medical destinations for cosmetic plastic surgery are found in exotic locales such as South America, Asia and Europe. For example, Botox treatments run from $200-$400 per area in the U.S., while treatments in Thailand may cost anywhere from $130-$180. Such cosmetic treatments in India may range from $112-$180 per treatment area.

Liposuction costs and treatments are defined by the area where fat is located and the anatomical focus. To put it quite simply, larger areas cost more. For example, the cost of liposuction to the lower abdomen costs around $2,000 in the United States. Liposuction to the outer thighs may cost $1,600 each. Medical tourists may benefit through cosmetic surgery procedures centers in Argentina, where charges costs are less, generally under $3,000, which in many cases includes lodging. Liposuction in India costs one tenth of what it costs in the United States.
