Is Excess Skin Surgery Expensive?
Yes, body lift and excess skin removal surgeries can be costly—especially in the U.S., Canada, and parts of Europe. Depending on how much skin needs to be removed and how many areas are treated (abdomen, thighs, arms, etc.), the total cost can range from $15,000 to over $30,000 USD, and that often doesn’t include anesthesia, hospital fees, or recovery expenses. Unfortunately, most health insurance plans consider these procedures cosmetic and won’t cover them, even though the loose skin can cause rashes, infections, and impact quality of life.
Why Consider Mexico for Excess Skin Surgery?
That’s why many people look abroad—and Mexico has become a top destination for high-quality, affordable body contouring surgery. Cities like Tijuana, Monterrey, and Mexico City are home to internationally trained, board-certified plastic surgeons who specialize in post-bariatric procedures. You can often save 40–70% compared to U.S. prices, without sacrificing safety or results. Clinics catering to medical tourists offer modern facilities, English-speaking staff, and personalized care packages that include surgery, recovery stay, and transportation. As long as you do your research and choose a reputable provider, Mexico can offer a cost-effective and professional path to completing your transformation.
