Abstract
This article focuses on plastic surgeons working in Mexico and whether or not they are qualified to perform such operations. A growing number of Americans are discovering they can save thousands of dollars by going to Mexico for cosmetic procedures and weight-loss surgery. Clinics, hidden on backstreets, which can charge a fraction of the cost of similar procedures in the U.S., may not be licensed by Mexican authorities.
