Plastic Surgery Prices: USA vs South America

If you live in USA and you are considering having a plastic surgery, you might want to compare the cost and services in other countries. Plastic surgery procedures in USA are not cheap; usually prices in South America countries, like Argentina, are about 50% to 70% lower.  You may wonder how it is possible that the prices are so low. This is due to two main factors:

1. The cost of living in Argentina is very low compared to United State. Medicine is no exception, lower surgeons’ charges and lower operating room maintenance fees make plastic surgery procedures in Argentina cheaper than in USA.
2. This, together with a favorable exchange rate used in Argentina (US$ 1 = ARS 3,8) offers you the opportunity to obtain top quality treatments and affordable prices.

Less expensive treatments, doesn’t mean a lower standard of care, Argentinean surgeons are considered amongst the best in the world.

Prices listed below are average for cosmetic procedures  as reported by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) on April 27, 2010. Prices in US dollars.

Plastic Surgeons Respond to Proposed Cosmetic Surgery Tax

Surprise Addition to Healthcare Bill is Arbitrary, Difficult to Administer

Arlington Heights, IL and New York, NY – Democratic leaders in the Senate unveiled their proposal for overhauling the health care system, which included a new 5% tax on elective cosmetic procedures. Senate Democrats argue that the tax, which was a surprise addition to the sweeping 2,074-page bill, will generate $5.8 billion over the next 10 years to be put towards the bill’s estimated $849 billion price tag. However, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) oppose this tax as discriminatory, arbitrary and ineffective.

“Elective surgery taxes discriminate against women, given that 86 percent of cosmetic surgery patients are female, of which 91 percent are between the working ages of 19-64,” said Michael McGuire, MD, ASPS President. “Moreover, contrary to popular belief, cosmetic surgery is no longer an exclusive luxury afforded by the very wealthy, but rather a mainstream and reasonable option most common amongst the working middle-class.”
