Costa Rica has been a top medical tourism destination for many decades. There are multiple reasons for this fact. First, medical schools in Costa Rica are among the best in Central and South America. Also, Costa Rican healthcare has been ranked among the best in the continent. Therefore, medical professionals receive exceptional training during their career. At the same time, many doctors complete their training, i.e. residency or fellowship, in the United States and return to establish their practices in Costa Rica, so they understand the North American health system. Second, Costa Rica is a safe, politically stable country. You don’t have to worry about your safety when you come to our country. This is a huge advantage when you are trying to decide where to have your surgery. Third, Costa Rica is a phenomenal place to visit, whether you are coming for surgery or not! Our country is known for its natural beauty, fascinating beaches and spectacular resorts. Many people who come to have a surgical procedure will stay to enjoy the sights. In fact, some people prefer to spend a few more weeks in the country to recover from their surgery in a quiet, natural environment. For all these reasons, Costa Rica is among the best countries in the world to have plastic surgery.
Oculoplastic Surgery In Costa Rica
Although body plastic surgery is very popular, facial and eyelid aesthetic procedures are attracting many patients from abroad. Oculoplastic surgery is becoming just as popular as body plastic surgery. An oculoplastic surgeon is a medical professional that specializes in reconstructive and aesthetic eyelid procedures. Reconstructive eyelid surgery is necessary in cases of eyelid cancer, droopy eyelids, and eyelid retraction, among other conditions. On the other hand, the aesthetic aspect of oculoplastic surgery comprises a whole spectrum of facial aesthetic procedures. From blepharoplasty to eyebrow endoscopic lifts, oculoplastic surgeons are dedicated to rejuvenating the periocular area, i.e. the area around your eyes. Oculoplastic surgeons also apply Botox and dermal fillers. These are non-invasive procedures that can be done in the office and require virtually no downtime.
Recover from your surgery in a peaceful environment
One of the benefits of coming to Costa Rica to do your surgery is that you can take advantage of the beautiful sights and the peaceful environment that our country offers. You can take some time off to enjoy the beach while you recover from your operation. If you prefer the rain forest, we can accommodate you in a beautiful mountain lodge. Your surgeon will be checking up on you frequently and he will give you a number to contact him if you have any concerns. Before you decide to come down to Costa Rica, our surgeon will want to schedule a consultation via Skype to meet you and make sure that you are a good candidate for surgery.
Rejuvenate your eyes and have fun in the tropics
When it comes to your appearance, your eyes are perhaps the most important part of your face. Your eyes are what people look at when they talk to you. If you have droopy eyelids, significant wrinkles, eye bags, or saggy skin, an oculoplastic surgeon can help you rejuvenate your appearance. Good candidates for surgery can come to Costa Rica and book a vacation in one of our resorts to enjoy the sighs while they recover from their operation.
