Costa Rica Plastic Surgery
Costa Rica has been the destination
for those looking to have cosmetic surgery because prices are
lower than in the U.S. for comparable procedures. Costa Rica's
surgeons are among the worlds best. Most of Costa Rica's plastic
surgeons are trained in the U.S. or Europe. Rates for different
operations vary from doctor to doctor.
In general, prices average 25 to 60
percent less than in the U.S. although the final cost is open to
negotiation with the surgeon. The cost of a full face list is
between $2000-$3,500, nose surgery around $2000, liposuction
$800-$1,500, tummy tuck $2000-$3000, breast implant $2,500-$3,500
and eyelid surgery between $800-$1,500. Many doctors send their
patients to special recovery houses for about $70 a day. Rates
will vary from surgeon to surgeon.
There are a couple
of doctors who advertise their services as cosmetic surgeons but
have no specialized training in the field. Therefore to get the
best results from our surgery ask the U.S. Embassy for a list of
certified plastic surgeons. Also check with the Colegio de Medicos
to see if a particular doctor is a real plastic surgeon. All
doctors in Costa Rica must be registered with the Costa Rica
Doctor's Association.
