Best Place for Boob Jobs and Plastic Surgery - Medical Tourism
For quality and price, the best two places in the world for cosmetic plastic surgery (medical tourism) are Colombia and India. For Americans and Canadians, considering the price of airfare, Colombia is clearly the winner. Airfare to Colombia is around $500 round trip.
Silicone breast implants have been the focus of much scrutiny. Recent studies have shown that women with silicone gel-filled breast implants do not have a greatly increased risk of some autoimmune diseases such as lupus.
In November of 2006, the FDA approved silicone gel implants. The new silicone breast implants have 3 layers of shell surrounding the silicone gel. This reduces the amount of gel bleed, however it does make the implants somewhat firmer.
This brings us to another issue…, the cost of a boob job in the US. The cost of having gel implants varies from $6,000 to $8,000. The cost of having breast augmentation in Colombia varies from $2,000 to $3,800.
Some people believe that Colombia, like the Philippines, has too many schools of medicine and dental science, just like America has too many law schools. This means that dental and medical care in Colombia is very competitive, and they don't have hordes of hungry lawyers, like John Edwards, jacking up liability insurance for doctors.
For many years, it has been an obsession or point of national honor over who wins, places or shows in the finals of the Miss Universe and Miss World competitions in Latin America. This is especially true in Colombia, where feminine beauty or eye-candy seems to be their most important product, even ahead of coffee, flowers and cocaine.
Medellin, Colombia has been transformed from the World’s Murder Capital to the World’s Beauty Capital, since the death of Pablo Escobar, almost 15 years ago. It is now one of the safest, most affordable cities in the world with a perfect year around climate and a beautiful new mass transit system (metro) helping to keep the mountain air clean. A city of 2.5 million people, Medellin is the fashion capital of Colombia and home to many textile factories, shops and malls. It is the new home for artists of all kinds.
Medellin has the most spectacular Christmas light display in the world called Los Alumbrados or Luces de Navidad. They even stage an international poetry festival in June and a magnificent flower festival in late July and early August.
The perfect climate helps create the perfect body. Where else in the world can you live where you don't even have to spend one centavo on heating or air conditioning?
People from all over Central and South America fly into Medellin everyday, many with plastic surgery on their agenda. Medellin is the home of three schools of medicine and Bogota has another eleven. The number of tourists to Colombia is beginning to double every year. Major hotel chains are salivating over plans to add new hotels to a number of Colombian cities and the cruise ship industry (Royal Caribbean) is already sending Love Boats to Cartagena.
Two recent, enormously popular Colombian soap operas have raised the level of discussion about beauty, ugliness and breast implants. It is one of the hottest topics of conversation between friends, family and co-workers. It helps women decide whether a boob job or liposuction is in their future.
The first soap opera about beauty appeared back in 1999 to 2001. It was called Yo soy Betty, la fea or Ugly Betty. It went on to inspire several international versions, including the one with America Ferrera in the U.S.
"Betty la fea," an ugly-duckling tale of a smart but unattractive young woman working in the fashion industry who blossoms with the help of true love and a skilled makeover artist, debuted in Colombia in 1999 and soon was the rage of the entire Spanish-speaking world -- including the United States, where it aired on Telemundo.
The second soap opera in 2006 was about breast implants. It is known as Sin Tetas No Hay Paraiso or Without Tits There Is No Paradise. The story is about a poor, flat-chested teenager who attempts to become a prostitute to afford a boob job, so she can find a rich gangsta boyfriend. The trouble is she can’t find any customers because all the other girls have bigger breasts. It is a Catch 22 type of situation that sort of reminds one of O. Henry’s The Gift of the Magi.
Forty new plastic surgery clinics have opened up nationwide in Colombia to help service almost half a million procedures a year. Nely Galan, formerly of Telemundo TV network observed that for Latinas "Cosmetic surgery is maintenance... If you painted your house seven years ago and the paint is chipping, would you not paint it again?"
If you want to save fifty to seventy-five percent off the cost of cosmetic dentistry, book a flight to any major city in Colombia: Medellin, Bogota, Cartagena, Cali, Cucuta, Barrangquilla or Bucaramanga. The dentists there are just as good and professional as they are in the US or Canada. Make some inquiries, get some estimates, shop around.
There are 44 million people in Colombia. They have 24,000 dentists and 12,000 of them are in private practice. They don’t have the overhead, liability insurance expenses or the greed of North American dentists. Their professional credentials and training are just as good, and their fees are much less.
Cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, breast implants, face lifts, tummy tucks, liposuction or LASIK eye surgery are now affordable. All you need to do is get a passport, a two week vacation and put your new plastic on plastic.
