Plastic Surgery?... U.S. or Costa Rica?

What makes people look to other countries for medical care??  You got it.   

 



The root of all evil...



Costa Rica has been long sought after to have a little nick and tuck, or better known as “Plastic Surgery” 

We all hear of those horror stories of backroom butchering or unlicensed doctors leaving the patient permanently scarred or dead.  So what are some of the facts about Costa Rica and their quality of care?





What to do next???



Are our insurance companies beginning to catch on?  According to a study by the Competitiveness Ministry, the U.S. insurance companies are offering to chip in for travel packages. 

Nearly 13 percent of the medical tourists who visit Costa Rica seek cosmetic surgery procedures, while another 35 percent come for dental work, because the price in Costa Rica is sometimes a little as 1/3 the price of the same procedure done in the U.S.

My question and I am sure you have the same.  How safe and how do they compare with the U.S?   I found that three Costa Rican clinics have received certification that puts them on par with U.S. medical centers.  Accreditation of Ambulatory Facilities (AAAASF) has certified the private surgical and ambulatory center Clínica UNIBE, the dental clinic Dental Sonrisa Para Todos and plastic surgery specialists Cirugía Plástica Pino. 

Still do your research and come to your own conclusion before booking your trip to Costa Rica to have your make-over.  Leave me your comments or any experiences you have had during a procedure done in Costa Rica.  I would love to hear from you..
