“I am extremely pleased with my experience with GoSculptura. I had surgery in Buenos Aires during the summer of 2006. The prices were as stated on their website. The total experience far exceeded my expectations. I was catered to and pampered much like a celebrity. It was great. Sol is a very dedicated and sincere person. She made sure that everything went smoothly. The people of Buenos Aires were very accommodating. I plan to return there in the near future. The hotel was excellent. From the moment I was greeted at the airport until the time I was dropped off to depart, I was treated like royalty. I am not a paid spokesperson. I am a person who discovered an extraordinary company while browsing the web one night. After consulting with 4 individuals who had received medical treatment in Buenos Aires via GoSculptura, I made my reservation. The doctors have impressive credentials. I had consulted with doctors here in the States but I did not feel comfortable with them. I am thankful to GoSculptura for offering such a unique service at such an affordable price. I am pleased to share this information. – Ricardo, T. Texas"

Claudio it is Lorraine from Canada. I wanted to take the time to honestly tell you what a pleasure it was to have you as a surgeon. You took the time to actually make me feel comfortable (…)

I chose Argentina as the place to have my surgery. I was told how I would be treated and about the after care. You sir certainly were outstanding and fulfilled your dedication to a patient. I remember you telling me where you would be at all times and gave me telephone numbers to reach you at any time of day or night seven days a week. That impressed me more then I can tell you, it's different here in Canada, as you know, I researched everything about my surgery and Argentina was the best choice I could have ever made.

In Canada it is unheard of for this kind of personal care. Plastic surgery is different, you’re not a surgeon taking out an organ, you go beyond that to me, and you are a gifted man. You help people trying to help themselves and those in need of emergency care, to me a Plastic surgeon isn’t just doing surgery but you are also working with people’s minds and emotions.

It is a surgery of choice in most cases and there are high expectations from some, you informed me of everything to expect after the surgery and that is exactly what I am doing, it's been about a month from the surgery and I can honestly tell you I feel the difference; there is a saying “when you look good you feel good ", Claudio you have done that for me and I am thankful and looking forward to the new me in time. Thank you for your kindness and care and I love your city Buenos Aires, and look forward to having a vacation there and who knows maybe a little nip and tuck somewhere.

Claudio you are a gifted surgeon and I thank you for what you have done For me.

Thank you for changing my life – Ron, Texas

More Americans Seeking Surgery Abroad

High costs in U.S. are driving some patients to seek affordable plastic surgery in Argentina, and affordable gastric bypass and affordable cosmetic dentistry abroad, said GoSculptura, a company that sends dozens of patients each month abroad for specialized medical procedures.

Dismayed by high surgical costs in the U.S., increasing numbers of American patients are packing their bags to have necessary surgery performed in countries such as Argentina, India, Thailand, and Singapore.

According to Mark D. Smith, president and chief executive officer of the California HealthCare Foundation in Oakland, People are desperate. This illustrates the growing unaffordability of the U.S. health care system, even to people who are by no means indigent.

1) American Patients going abroad
John H, Medical director at GoSculptura says there has been a 72% increase in the last 12 months in the number of American patients seeking care at the network of international clinics and Hospitals that GoSculptura covers. Patients are mostly looking for affordable treatment options.

Cost is a major factor - patients typically save upwards of 60% from the rates charged at U.S. hospitals. John H. indicates a surge in volume from patients seeking treatments against morbid obesity (affordable gastric bypass & banding procedures): Treatments against obesity are not optional. Patients can die if they do not have access to these. Patients come to us as they are out of options in the U.S. Their country, their healthcare system leaves them on their own.

John H. also indicates that affordable fertility treatments (in-vitro fertilization, donor eggs and ICSI treatments) are very popular with many couples needing to go abroad to fix fertility issues and have children as costs are prohibitive in the U.S. Affordable cosmetic dentistry is also quite in demand.

2) Defamatory comments on Procedures abroad
John H, highlights defamatory efforts undergone in the U.S. press, backed by medical U.S. associations to attempt to prevent American Patients to consider the option of going abroad.

American patients think carefully and make educated and informed decisions. They request consultations and carefully review the track record and board certifications of the surgeons we work with. They request to speak to former patients and ensure that after care is well orchestrated. These are well thought, educated and enlightened decisions. Patients understand that, by going abroad, they can access affordable plastic surgery in Argentina, affordable gastric bypass or affordable cosmetic dentistry without mortgaging their house.

3) Can U.S. Hospitals compete?
U.S. hospitals would have to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and increase quality. However, according to John H, some people's response to this growing offshore trend is to try to shut it down and pretend that quality and standard of cares are inferior abroad. The proper reaction would be a wake up call and an attempt to bring in line costs with what citizens can afford. This trend is only the beginning as it is clearly advantageous for patients to leave the U.S. healthcare system all together to access affordable gastric bypass, affordable plastic surgery in Argentina or affordable cosmetic dentistry treatments abroad.

All this paints a sad but realistic commentary on the state of the U.S. health care coverage and delivery system.

Perhaps the emerging sight of Middle America traveling thousands of miles for medical care will spur new attention to the need for universal coverage with adequate benefits in this country.

Buenos Aires - Argentina

Strolling through the streets of Palermo Viejo, the trendiest neighborhood in Buenos Aires right now, one wouldn't guess that the city is emerging from an economic crisis. The jacaranda trees are in bloom, and well-dressed porteños (the nickname for residents of the city) pour out of new restaurants, where they can be seen smoking, drinking and laughing.

At some of the city's hottest restaurants, it is impossible to get a reservation, even a few days in advance, and in response to the influx of foreign visitors, new hotels are opening all over town.

While other parts of the world are becoming increasingly expensive, because of the fall of the dollar, Americans visiting Argentina can still capitalize on a very favorable 3-to-1 peso-dollar exchange rate, which Argentina's central bank seems to be committed to maintaining. Before the brutal currency devaluation in 2001, from which the country is still reeling, the Argentine peso was linked to the dollar at a one-to-one ratio.

The Recoleta neighborhood remains a popular destination for travelers because it is quiet, safe and central.

If nothing else, this is an Atkins-friendly country: per-capita beef consumption is the highest in the world. At a traditional parrilla (steak house), you can get a delicious cut of beef for about $3. Empanada shops abound, where little meat-filled snacks cost less than a dollar. Meanwhile, new fusion restaurants have been popping up in Palermo Viejo, featuring the work of adventurous chefs.

After you've checked out the Casa Rosada (the Argentine equivalent of the White House), in the center of town, you might feel a bit nostalgic for Argentina's Belle Époque. Go to Argentina's oldest bar, Café Tortoni and sit amid bronze busts of Jorge Luís Borges and paintings of Evita Perón. Grab a beer and a lomito (steak sandwich) for under $10.

One recent addition to the Palermo Viejo dining scene is Olsen where the executive chef, Germán Martitegui, creates his signature Scandinavian-Argentine fusion cuisine in a blond-wood palace of modern design. Start with a caviar appetizer paired with samplings of various vodkas and aquavits.

For dessert, try the molten chocolate cake filled with a hot dulce de leche core, and swimming in a white chocolate yogurt sauce.

What to Do During the Day

When you arrive in Buenos Aires, the best way to dive headfirst into vacation bliss is to visit a day spa. At the Aqua Vita Medical Spa in Recoleta, you can get the Aqua Luna treatment, which includes an hour massage, followed by a body-exfoliation treatment for the equivalent of $60. Two and a half hours later, you'll walk out feeling like a piece of tenderized meat.

The newest museum in town is Malba, short for Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires. Opened in 2001, the museum's permanent collection features 20th-century works from 78 Latin American artists, among them the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo and the Chilean surrealist Roberto Matta.

What to Do at Night

For a big, festive night of tango, try El Querandí in San Telmo. The elaborate nightly show, featuring dramatic dancing and some of the best Argentine crooners you'll ever hear, includes a traditional three-course dinner.

As for clubbing, Opera Bay is the place to sweat Saturday nights away. The huge Puerto Madero dance hall is built to resemble the Sydney Opera House

If you find yourself wandering the streets of Palermo Viejo at night, try an inventive cocktail or two at the low-key watering hole Mundo Bizarro, a place to find out about the biggest parties is www.whatsupbuenosaires.com, a site started by an American expatriate banker turned-D.J.

Where to Shop

Every weekend there's a colorful hippie-ish crafts fair at Feria de Arte, in Palermo Viejo's Plaza Julio Cortázar where more than 40 vendors will sell paintings, clothing, handmade jewelry and home furnishings.

The whole neighborhood is peppered with little boutiques selling the wares of new Argentine designers, where tourists can get fashionable clothing at reasonable prices any day of the week. Mercer sells trendy casual clothing for men; try on the jeans. Across the street, there's Fortunata Alegría where you can find delicate women's dresses and cute tops.

On Your first Visit -- or Your 10th

Take an evening walk along the water in Puerto Madero. The city began a revitalization campaign for the old port in 1989, and today just about everything along the waterfront is new.

Head over to the promenade along the waterfront. The historic brick buildings that line the canal now house some of the finest restaurants in Buenos Aires, most of which have tables outside facing the canal, which gives a perfect opportunity to enjoy a crisp glass of Mendoza wine.

Cross the canal by the new modern footbridge - the Puente de la Mujer, or Bridge of the Woman - designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. (The asymmetric design was intended to evoke the image of a couple doing a tango.) On the other side, you can see the lights of the city sparkling in the distance.

And of course remember that many visitors take advantage of the fact that plastic surgery in Argentina is world renowned.
