In : In a far away country, how will you select the right surgeon and the right hospital. Many problems - stay during healing time, who will help you during that time, how well trained and responsible are the doctors and their team, how well will you be treated should complications occur, etc etc, over the years, I have seen many patients, who had undergone surgeries in other countries, coming back with problems. So, don't consider just the cost.

Of course: If you look hard enough you will find a place that performs procedures cheaply. The challenge is figuring out if that provider is qualified to perform the procedure and that the facilities are adequate. You might want to research places within the United States that have lower costs and yet adhere to high standards. www.elpasoplasticsurgery.com.

Cheap can be deadly!: What happens if you get an infection or dead tissue and you're stuck in a foreign country, or even worse, back home and your surgeon is nowhere to be found! secondary surgery and time off costs way more than getting the correct surgery here, and who says a "mini" is even appropriate for you? The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten!

Be Careful!: Remember the basic saying that "good work is not cheap and cheap work is generally not good". Also remember that follow-up care is an important part of any surgical procedure and that revisionary surgery may be more “costly” in many ways. Best wishes.

Resident clinics: You might try looking here in the usa - at the resident run plastic surgery clinics that many of the plastic surgery training programs have. They generally have reduced fees.
