Is it much cheaper getting cosmetic surgery in mexico?Say like,getting breast implants?

Answer 1

Sure it is, but of course you get what you pay for and it depends on how much you value your own life. In Mexico there is no such thing as malpractice if things go wrong. Most importantly, if there IS a complication, the nearest hospital's equipment is usually behind the United States by about 30 years. Anything you do that medically causes you to become unconscious should be handled by a doctor with a noted excellent reputation. Make sure your doctor is board certified by the American College of Surgeons and the American College of Cosmetic Surgeons. You can also call your state board or look at their website to check if a doctor was disciplined or censured. You can't do these things to protect your self in Mexico, however, since there is no board that is governed to protect the patient. I can think of no logical reason to hop across the boarder when we have the best medical care and some of the best doctor's in the world here in our own back yard.

Cosmetic surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.

Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Sure it likely will simply due to the strenght of the peso. Just like a Big Mac in the UK is twice the price as it is in the US or Canada simply because of their currency. However would I go to a third world country for this type of procedure? Definitely not! If something does go wrong, do you have any recourse? Would you be able to sue or get some type of retribution as easy as in Canada? In addition, Canada has some of the best physicians in the world.

Answer 4

MADE IN THE U.S.A. IS MORE THAN A GOOD SLOGAN, IT MEANS A CERTAIN STANDARD TO UPHOLD.
I'VE REPAIRED MUCH OF MEXICAN DENTISTRY I'VE COME ACROSS.
THERE IS A LATIN PHRASE, "CAVEAT EMPTOR". IT MEANS LET THE BUYER BEWARE. AND A COMMON SAYING HOLDS TRUE TO THIS DAY, "YOU GET ONLY WHAT YOU PAID FOR."
PEOPLE FROM OTHER NATIONS COME TO THE U.S.A. FOR COSMETIC SURGERY. WHY? BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHERE THE BEST COSMETIC SURGERY TAKES PLACE.

Answer 5

A friend of mine just got braces put on in TJ. She says her co-workers go there frequently for dental work. She works in a huge company and they seem to say it works & its much cheaper. It does depend on where you are going. Typically, I wouldn't do anything that drastic unless the doctor was referred by someone else. Do your homework though. And don't judge quality by location.

Answer 6

Maybe, but why take the chance of it being a horrid job.
