Question:
Plastic Surgery in Another Country???

If you've had plastics done outside the USA, would you please share your experience and costs? Does anybody know the website of the surgeon in Brazil? Thanks so much.    — jazzinco (posted on July 8, 2006)

I'm sorry that I don't have a direct answer for you, but....PLEASE be very careful about getting plastic surgery done anywhere! It CAN be disasterous if done by the wrong surgeon; $ can't be the reason for choice of who does it! Do some research, my daughter did a research paper on this in college and it really woke me up! I'd rather get a loan than risk what "could happen"....

Hi Vicki! I am American, but live and therefore had, my plastic surgery done here in Germany. I had a wonderful experience with my PS who spoke perfect English (I don't live here by choice, my hubby is military LOL) and was wonderful with all his bedside manner and aftercare. I got a GREAT price~$7,000 for full tt w/ Muscle Repair, lipo to the areas on my hips, and stomache that needed it, breast lift and implants. Altho it's not his fault, I will be needing a redo lift which we will discuss at my 6 month mark, but he's fully covering all the costs. My only concern for having surgery out of the US is that the laws and rules concerning medicine are not the same as in the states. Some places you will find they are more laxed, and some places stricter. HTH! Good look in your search
