Cosmetic Surgery Prices Catch the Eye of the Insurance Guy

There was a time not too long ago when insurance companies would steadfastly refuse coverage for any elective surgeries.  It seems times have changed to keep pace with the growing public interest in medical tourism.  The promise of high quality healthcare and cosmetic surgery at low prices has proven too irresistible to ignore.  Today, a quick online search brings up numerous possibilities for health vacation insurance providers with special policies for medical tourism or, as they call it, travel insurance. 

Reliable Health Vacation Insurance

Of course, travel insurance sites mushrooming all over the Internet may not always inspire you with the greatest degree of confidence as a consumer.  If you’d rather be covered by a recognizable name brand, look into coverage provided by agencies like Blue Cross Blue Shield—South Carolina.  There’s even a possibility that your employer may pay for all or part of your treatment abroad (depending on the terms of your employment) rather than pay the higher price of treatment within the United States. 

Getting Cheeky in Argentina with Affordable Cheek Implants

With the support of insurance providers and medical tourism agents who assist with the process of locating an appropriate doctor and clinic, potential patients are ever more willing to cross the ocean in search of the perfect face or body.  Affordable cosmetic surgery like cheek implants can be done in numerous countries like Argentina, where the cost of resources is much lower than it is in the United States.  Here, malar augmentation—the fancy name for cheek implants—costs only $3,100 to $5,500 for a packaged deal that includes transportation, anesthesia, supplies, fees, a bilingual assistant, and pre-surgical tests.  Compare this with the cost of the same procedure (without the frills) in the US.  The American Society of Plastic Surgeons indicated that the average surgeons’ fee alone in the U.S. for cheek implants amount to $1945.  The price tag goes up according to the region where you live, not to mention the fact that the fees for anesthesia, use of the surgical facility, and medical supplies are all charged separately.
