The US continues to have many uninsured individuals (more than 20 million in 2019) despite a strong economy and low taxes. But even among those who have adequate medical insurance, most do not have coverage for any surgery procedures. Insurance companies in the US consider these procedures as “elective” (medically non-essential), and do not provide coverage. In Mexico, American patients can expect substantial cost savings for these services. For example, breast augmentation or breast lift plastic surgery in Mexico is about 70 percent cheaper than in the US. Tummy tuck cost in Mexico is about 60 percent cheaper.
