I’ve heard of this, and thought it was an occasional under the table situation. However, I just watched a special, which explains it’s extremely common for Americans to visit Costa Rico for plastic surgery.
One woman on the special, had plastic surgery which completely got rid of her vertical c-section scar. I didn’t even know that was possible. What type of surgery is that? I can’t remember the name.
Another woman had 15 different procedures, including teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, etc, and only paid $7000(which included air fare and housing). Is anyone familiar with this plastic surgery center below:

Just because it’s cheap does not mean you’ll get the quality you deserve.
Because you’re paying them so little, they usually pay little attention to making sure the surgery went smoothe. Who knows, while you’re knocked out on the tables, they could go in and take a kidney and you wouldn’t even know it. There have been reports of this.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to travel to third world countries for a cheap but dangerous surgery because if something goes wrong, the cost of fixing it would be equivalent to getting the surgery here in the U.S in the first place. But hey that’s just me.
Hope that helps!
