Seeking Beauty in Latin AmericaSeeking beauty with Cosmetic Surgery in Latin America

Cosmetic surgery in a foreign country was once reserved only for the rich. Nowadays, cosmetic surgery is available to anyone that can afford a plane ticket and a week?s stay in one of these global health care power-houses. This is due to the ever expanding phenomena of medical tourism and the emergence of once under developed countries as health care meccas. Speaking about health care meccas, Mexico has some of the best medical facilities and providers in the world. This makes it one of the most popular destinations for cosmetic surgeries.

A 2013 survey, entitled ISAPS International Survey on Aesthetic/Cosmetic Procedures Performed in 2013, shows that Mexico is in the top 5 countries performing most popular plastic surgery procedures: Liposuction, Breast augmentation and Nose surgery. Some of the most common cosmetic surgeries performed in Mexico in 2013 were Liposuction ? 62,713, Breast augmentation ? 57,691 and Nose surgery ? 50,437.

Mexico?s Cosmetic Surgery Market

The main influx of international patients for plastic surgery in Mexico however comes from the U.S. and Canada.  The patients from these North American countries are attracted by the low prices for cosmetic surgical procedures in Mexico, the professionalism of the medical staff and the spatial proximity to their homes. For instance, Cancun is only 1 ½ hour away from Miami.

Some of the cities in Mexico that have developed their own medical tourism infrastructures, and have emerged as cosmetic surgery hubs in the country are Cancun, Mexicali, Puerto Vallarta, Tijuana or Cabo San Lucas. These once touristic destinations have taken advantage of the globalization of health care seekers and have reinvented themselves as prime destinations for those looking to combine medicine with relaxation. They now boast some of the most sought after cosmetic surgery clinics and medical specialists in the field.
