People are drawn to Argentina for cosmetic surgery

I’d never considered cosmetic surgery. Well, I’d never considered it until I heard about Argentina. The elegant country with a European-flavored sophistication, stunning natural wonders, and a passionate culture, which just happens to have a little sumthin’ sumthin’ goin’ on on the side that’s made me want to sign up for a visit ASAP. It’s called “the boob-job boom.”

It all began after the 2002 financial collapse of the country and its currency devaluation. It became so inexpensive to visit Argentina that tourists flocked to the area. One of the industries that arose out of this was Medical Tourism.

Now tourists are drawn to the country by the droves as they seek out travel packages that include flight, accommodations, and COSMETIC SURGERY at incredibly reasonable prices. A facelift that might cost $15,000 in that States might cost approximately $5,000 in Argentina. (By the way, those are prices that would make me consider surgery that I probably wouldn’t need.)

Argentina is in the world's top ten countries by number of surgeries. "They find the best specialists in Cali, the latest scientific advances in plastic surgery and highly competitive prices. So we receive more than 100,000 patients per year," said Gladis Barona, director of the National Commerce Federation. And with what they offer I’m 100% a convert. If only for the fun of it. I’d get to vacation in fabulous Argentina (home of the sultry tango) with flight and accommodations included, and who cares that I’ll throw in a little “work” while I’m enjoying my breezy vacation. For $5000 that can’t be beat.
