you thoughts and results?

I have a friend who has got Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) done. It is a procedure to remove fat along with excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. It can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes. But since it was over 7000 bucks in the US she opted to do it in Thailand where it cost her only 1400 bucks.More and more poeple choose to go to India or Thailand or Singapore or across the border to Mexico these days for such procedures because they are much cheaper there. You end up saving 60-80% even after you've paid for your travel expenses, hostpial stay, etc.However, you need to be careful about the quality of hospitals there. You must make sure that they are JCI/JCAHO/ISO accredited. It essentially means that the hospitals meet US standards and the service provided is world-class.One such medical tourism facilitator that works only with quality hospitals abroad is Healthbase (http://www.healthbase.com). You can research about the various medical procedures, communicate with the surgeons overseas, apply for medical, plan and book your travel all at their website.
