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.
