Going Under the Knife in Mexico: Why People Get Surgery Abroad and How Much It Costs

According to a recent study, an estimated 1.4 million Americans traveled outside the U.S. for medical care in 2017, up from 700,000 in 2007. The most popular procedures people get abroad are cosmetic surgeries, followed by dental work and weight-loss surgery. So why do people go to Mexico for surgery? In short, it's because they can save a lot of money.

How Much Does Surgery Cost in Mexico?

The average cost of a facelift in the U.S. is $7,700, while the average cost in Mexico is just $2,500. The average cost of a tummy tuck in the U.S. is $6,200, while the average cost in Mexico is $3,900. And the list goes on; breast implants, for instance, cost an average of $5,000 in Mexico compared to $10,000 in the U.S.

Of course, these are just averages; prices will vary depending on the specific procedure you're interested in as well as the surgeon you choose. But one thing is certain: you will save money by getting surgery done in Mexico.

Is It Safe to Get Surgery Done in Mexico?

In short, yes—as long as you do your research and choose a reputable surgeon. There have been cases of "surgery tourism" gone wrong , but these stories make headlines precisely because they are so rare. When you compare the number of complications that occur during surgeries performed in Mexico compared to those performed in the U.S., there is no statistically significant difference . That being said, it's still important to do your homework before choosing a surgeon; be sure to read reviews and check credentials to ensure you're making the best possible choice for your needs. Every year, more and more Americans are traveling outside the U.S. for medical care—and with good reason. Procedures that might cost thousands of dollars in the States can be had for a fraction of the price south of the border. While it's always important to do your research before undergoing any type of surgery, rest assured that getting surgery done in Mexico is safe—and can save you a lot of money.

This time we contacted the dental center of Mexico Dentavida to Dr. Alberto Guvera. We are very satisfied with the quality of work, the professionalism of Dr. Alberto. But in the case of my husband, a medical mistake was made in Turkish dentistry when installing crowns, which we will try to solve in the near future. Then we will share the results.

Dr Ana was very sweet and helpful as was her daughter Louise. Despite the language barrier they were able to communicate to me what the procedure was going to be in terms of medical tests on surgery day. The anesthetist was wonderful and easy to communicate with. The nurses who tended to me post procedure were very kind, but there was definitely a language barrier. I had hoped to be able to use my phones translator, but did not anticipate how difficult it would be for me to move after the procedure often times I would not be able to reach my phone. Once I arrived there, there were some nominal unanticipated additional costs that I was not made aware of. Specifically, $200 a night to sleep another night in the clinic when I was too swollen and sore to move and wasn't going to be able to get on a plane just yet. I stayed in a nice hotel the night before the procedure and paid only $77 for that accommodation. It would be different if they had been bringing me juice and water frequently or otherwise caring for me, but I often found myself dehydrated and lacking cold water. I appreciate that they brought me food, but all of the food that they brought me was so dry that I could not eat it because my mouth was already so dry. They were very sweet to go and get me and ice cream when I asked for a popsicle. Otherwise you got whatever they gave you, whenever they decided to give it to you. The rest of the time I was just left alone in my room, which was fine because I really was not able to move. There are times and it would have been helpful to have someone nearby to hand me lip balm from my bag, but generally I was left by myself. I am 2 weeks out from my procedure so I'm still very swollen, St iff and sore, but I can tell that the surgeon did an excellent job with my procedure. I'm very happy with the results I'm seeing so far and anticipate being even happier as the swelling goes down and my new figure fully reveals itself. This is not the same kind of experience as having cosmetic surgery in the states. There's very little consultation/ pre-op care other than the scheduling. The Aftercare is almost non-existent. I was prepared for that and so I had real significant complaints outside of the lack of pain management offered post procedure.
