PS in Brazil or Costa Rica?

I have been researching PS for about a month now and have come to the conclusion that I will never be able to afford to have it done in the US so I have begun looking in Brazil. I have found a Dr. in Brazil that works with WLS patients and I am estimating a Tummy Tuck and Breast Lift w/ Implants to be around $7000 - $8000 (this includes travel, hotel for 3 weeks, spending money, etc...). Recently someone mentioned Costa Rica but I have been unable to locate a Dr. or pricing. If anyone has any info please let me know. Thanks, Melissa 314/157

Hi Melissa, I am planning to go to Costa Rica for PS next year. I am going to Rosenstock- Liberman center. http://www.arrivacostarica.com/dr_rosenstock.htm Check yahoo group you will get a lot of information about this center and their doctors. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/costaricaplasticsurgery/?yguid=108565414 And this is where I am planning to recover after surgery. http://www.cheticaranch.com/ If you have any questions email me. Have a nice day Julia

Hi there, There is also a great support group, photos, and info @ http://groups.msn.com/cosmeticsurgeryabroad This board is great because it is run by patients, for the benefit of patients. They require you post weekly and kick out lurkers. There are tons of plastic surgons in CS, MEX, Brazil, and DR. The hard part is sortinf through the info and making a decision.
