Perhaps you know this, but breast implants are pads of silicone or saline encased in a rubber-like shell. They look like nipple-less falsies and are surgically implanted generally under the pectoralis muscle (located under the breast).
About 80 percent of breast implants in the world are for cosmetic reasons and 20 percent for breast reconstruction after breast cancer surgery. The number of women undergoing breast augmentation surgery is growing at an incredible pace, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
The procedure is fairly simple. A breast implant is a sac of rubbery silicone elastomer, which is placed under the chest tissues through an incision in the nipple or the breast itself. The sac is then filled with a saltwater solution through a valve. There are many plastic surgeons, but top board certified doctors in Costa Rica may be an option for those looking to save money.
The average price for Breast Implants in the U.S. is $7,500. The same procedure in Costa Rica is $2,500. Here are some of the board certified doctors in Costa Rica I located online:
If you are familiar with any of these physicians, please pass along your comments
Dr. Suarez performed blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) on my husband and I last January. We are both extremely pleased with the results, and I will definitely go back to him when it's time for my next procedure.
