Prices for cosmetic surgery are very low in Bolivia but quality is top class. '
Makeover Travel' in Santa Cruz for example has been awarded several prestigious prizes for quality, service and organisation and some of their clients include Miss World contenders. In Bolivia you will pay under £1,500 for a tummy tuck, compared to around £5,000 in the UK, and only £800 for Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), which costs between £3,000 and £4,000 in the UK. Equally, the bill for a complete face lift will be £1,500, compared with typical prices of between £4,300 and £6,000 in the UK, and what's more, all of these prices include 10 nights accommodation in a five star hotel.
All things considered there is little wonder that 'Beauty tourism', as it has become known, is growing at a rate of sixty percent each year. Along with low prices, modern medical equipment, highly qualified surgeons who are world renowned, and the use of modern technologies and materials, the pound stretches even further in Bolivia as accommodation, travel, food and shopping are also inexpensive.
