Costa Rica Surgery Cosmetic and Dental Surgery
The Resort Martino appears to have a Doctor on staff that performs a wide range of plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures.

South Africa Plastic Surgery Safari?
CBS reported on a promoter of surgery in South Africa; Some interesting bits: The firm was founded 5 yrs ago by Lorraine Melvill, a somewhat dated article (7/2002) cites her firm as servicing 20-30 customers per month with annual revenues exceeding $5M.
