Medical Tourism - American Style

It occurred to me, after attending a recent meeting, that the prices of Plastic Surgery procedures here in Central Florida have remained pretty stable over the last 15 years - while most other areas have gone up significantly by comparison.

That means, out-of-town patients can fly in from the Northeast, the Midwest, or the West Coast, have their surgery with us here in sunny Orlando, staying all the while in a resort hotel - and still save a significant amount of money compared to doing the same procedure at home, while under the care of an expert Board Certified Plastic surgeon and MD anesthesiologist, in a AAAASF-certified facility.

While it is difficult to determine exact prices in different cities, a little detective work on the web found these prices for breast augmentation, as reported by patients themselves.

New York City.....................$8000-10,000
San Francisco, Dallas (tie).......$8000
Newport Beach....................$7500
National Average
................$7500
Chicago............................$6500

Little ol' me
..............$4999 for silicone, $3999 for saline with our fall special

You don't need to go outside the U.S. to have reasonably priced surgery. Just fly to Orlando - America's #1 family travel destination! Now that's what I call Medical Tourism - American style!!
