Why have cosmetic surgery outside the USA?

One and only one reason comes to mind:

Cost

It can cost much less. However, there are hidden costs. You should not go abroad for operations alone. There is a special case of Mexican Americans with family in Mexico (or other immigrants going home for visiting family and having plastic surgery whie at home). So you need to add in the cost of companion.

Also if you go overseas (Spain is a favorite destination for breast augmentation) there’s the cost of the flight. Often you can get a package deal which includes everything including the hotel, hospital, spa and so on. The whole issue of cost becomes much more reasonable if you and a companion were going to take a vacation there anyway.

Disadvantages:

1. It is difficult to check credentials of overseas doctors.
2. If something goes wrong you have to go back to the same surgeon and hence it is best to go to a surgeon close to you. Remember that statistically even under the best circumstance things may go wrong.
3. If something very seriously goes wrong you have no legal recourse.

My own recommendation is that unless you have relatives in the country you’re going to the savings in cost are not worth the extra risk and inconvenience.
