Cosmetic procedures are much more expensive in the U.S. and Canada than elsewhere, which is why thousands of Americans and Canadians are looking for alternatives abroad. While searching for the perfect destination to have these procedures done, it is important to not only look at price, but also where you can find the most qualified doctors and best facilities.
Gabriel Senior of Travel For Care suggests that this rules out the usual suspects for a fantastic leisure/spa getaway, “Places like Patagonia, Anguilla, and Los Cabos are perfect destinations from a purely leisure perspective, however their health facilities should be though of as for emergency purposes only. Do you want to meet the doctor in Paraguay, or the operating room in St. Lucia? With a short trip across the border, anyone can have access to top cosmetic and plastic surgeons, facilities, and spas…at a fraction of the U.S. cost. Imagine the U.S. price-tag for a breast augmentation surgery combined with botox injections, a skin rejuvenating micro-dermabrasion treatment, massage or facial...this could cost anywhere between $11,500 and $13,000. However, just across the border in Monterrey, Mexico, you can be treated in the finest hospitals, clinics, and spas for less than half of that.”
Perfecta Beauty Hospital is a high quality and modern facility available to treat Americans for anything from breast augmentation surgery, to eyelid surgery to botox injections. Dr Rodrigo Munro-Wilson, together with his partner, Dr Lionel Dignowity, practice at this clinic that they own in Monterrey.
