hi Joan
welcome to our forums, there are both pro's and con's of traveling to a distant location for plastic surgery, typically the exotic locales and low price are an incentive, however there is no validity of how qualified a doctor is or if they have any past lawsuits against them, its very difficult to verify on the internet. Depending on the type of procedure you wish to undergo, the more complicated the procedure the riskier it is is my personal opinion! But its just me

Thank you* and I agree. But I also know not all talented Drs only in the USA. I like the idea of going away and no one seeing me heal. Being the Mom of 2 active teens.. 2 weeks of reading? resting, peace and quiet sounds like a fantasy to me. I know there good and bad in all.. I'm just hoping to hear from others and hopefully that will help me decide.

I "think" Im going for a mid and lower face lift. I will also replace my saline implants.

The medical care in Costa Rica is excellent but still costly. You might also consider Thailand.
