The Truth About Cosmetic Surgery Abroad

If you're unhappy with any aspect of your personal appearance, there are many types of cosmetic surgery that can correct signs of aging, unsightly dental defects, or "body work" that can make all the difference in your emotional self-esteem.

The stereotype of having cosmetic surgery abroad that existed a half-century ago is now something we find more than a little silly! The old stories about aging movie stars who sneak off to Switzerland to have face lifts may once have been true.

Yet today, having cosmetic surgery abroad is not only de-stigmatized, but is openly promoted. Since American insurance companies and Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) will not cover elective cosmetic procedures, it is financially prudent to have your surgery abroad in a fully accredited medical center staffed with board-certified surgeons who maintain an outstanding standard of care that is comparable to any major medical facility in the United States.

If you elect to have cosmetic surgery abroad, distinguished medical facilities perform many kinds of procedures including dental correction and lasix eye surgery.

One of the most popular cosmetic procedures is blepharoplasty; this is eyelid surgery that is designed to remove the excess skin, fat and drooping muscles around your upper and lower eyelids.

This condition is often referred to as "hooded eyes" and can make you appear constantly fatigued or older than you really are. Having this type of cosmetic surgery abroad is completely safe and effective when performed at a state-of-the-art medical center with a board-certified surgeon.

Another very popular type of cosmetic surgery abroad is abdominoplasty; this procedure is commonly known as a "tummy tuck." It removes excess skin and fat in your abdomen that can occur after pregnancy, after a substantial weight loss, or upon aging.

This is not a simple procedure and should never be performed by an unqualified surgeon or at a sub-standard foreign medical center. When you have this type of cosmetic surgery abroad at a top-quality facility, you can be assured of only the best surgical and follow-up nursing care.

Breast augmentation is one of the most common types of cosmetic surgery. Although it is widely performed in the United States, it is not covered by insurance companies or HMOs since it is an elective surgery. Having breast augmentation at a high-quality foreign medical facility is much less expensive than having the procedure done in America.

Our high cost of living is what drives the price of breast augmentation and other surgeries so very high. Having this cosmetic surgery abroad is very affordable since the local cost of living is lower and there is no tax involved.

There are many excellent reasons why you should choose to have your cosmetic surgery abroad; the most essential detail of your surgery depends upon doing your homework about the accreditation of the foreign medical facility and the qualifications of the medical staff.
