What Is Mexico Healthcare Like? - Costs & Medical Insurance (Living Overseas TV)

According to Forbes magazine, the cost of medical procedures in Mexico can be around 85% less than in the US. Due to the cutting-edge technology to meet the needs for preventive treatments, medical check-ups, and specialized surgeries at a low cost, Puerto Vallarta’s Medical Tourism industry has exploded in the last few years.

With world-class hospitals offering top-notch services at a fraction of U.S. prices, Puerto Vallarta makes an excellent destination for travelers looking to have elective surgery or cosmetic procedures done while they’re on vacation. The services on offer in Puerto Vallarta include everything from dental work to knee replacements, allowing you to treat yourself to a much-needed procedure without worrying about paying off the debt for years afterward.

In our Puerto Vallarta medical tourism guide, we’ve made a list of the most popular procedures available locally.

Dental Procedures

According to research by Delta Dental, an estimated 65 percent of Americans have not seen a dentist in more than two years. Puerto Vallarta has emerged as one of America’s most popular destinations for those seeking discounted dental care and cosmetic surgery. In fact, compared to prices charged back home, it’s an incredible value.

Laser Eye Surgery

LASIK eye surgery is a common form of vision correction. More and more people are seeking medical tourism packages in Puerto Vallarta with LASIK surgery as it is an effective and safe procedure that can change your life.

Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery is an option for men and women in Puerto Vallarta. The city has over 25 plastic surgeons who work with international and local patients. From nose jobs to facelifts, breast augmentations, tummy tucks, and more, Puerto Vallarta plastic surgeons can deliver dramatic results.

Liposuction

Many people are terrified of going under anesthesia, but with advanced techniques and equipment, liposuction is one of the safest surgeries. With its ability to dissolve fat cells and reduce volume, it’s a highly effective treatment for excess fat in many areas of your body. If you’re ready to remove pesky pockets of fat from around your thighs or love handles, liposuction can do that - and has a high success rate compared to other methods.

Tummy Tuck

The cost of tummy tuck surgery can vary widely depending on where you live, but it generally costs $6,000 to $10,000 in countries like India.

Weight Loss Surgery

If you’re on a quest to get into better shape, it makes sense to explore all your options. If you can’t shed that stubborn extra weight through diet and exercise alone, then surgery could be an option for you. This is especially true if your BMI (body mass index) is over 30 - in which case weight loss surgery in Puerto Vallarta could help you lose enough weight to lower your BMI into a healthy range.

Botox & Fillers

Wrinkles don’t have to be permanent. In fact, some treatments can eliminate wrinkles completely and immediately. One of these is Botox, which reduces facial lines by blocking communication between nerve endings and muscle fibers. This results in reduced tension in your face. In addition to eliminating frown lines, Botox can reduce crow’s feet (lines on either side of your eyes) and forehead wrinkles.
