On a recent trip I took with my boyfriend to Costa Rica, we were introduced to the new emerging trend of medical tourism. We were there for some sun and relaxation, but as we lounged around the pool, our eyes and ears were opened to the vast number of women there with breast augmentation, lip implants, liposuction.. We heard of people discussing over their pina coladas that their doctor in Canada recommended for them to come to Costa Rica (in this example) to get a “deal” on their wanted “work”. Seems like this is a growing trend over certain countries in the world, popular for North Americans and Europeans who are willing to travel to get cheaper cosmetic surgery, health care treatment and dental work, all the while on so-called “vacation”. Brings a whole new meaning to going on vacation to “rejuvinate”. Here’s an infographic I found online with popular medical tourism destinations, and the services and prices that are offered.
