Clinica de Cirugia Plastica

Clinica de Cirugia Plastica is a dedicated plastic and reconstructive surgery clinic located at Centro Médico Montserrat in San José, Costa Rica, accessible from Hotel Irazú at 170 meters east. The clinic provides a full spectrum of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures performed by specialist plastic surgeons in a modern, bilingual surgical environment suited to both Costa Rican residents and international medical tourists from the USA and Canada.

Costa Rica has emerged as a leading destination for cosmetic surgery medical tourism in Latin America. The country offers board-certified plastic surgeons trained to international standards, modern medical facilities, and procedures at 50 to 70 percent below US prices — all within a beautiful tropical setting that is just 3 to 5 hours from major American cities by direct flight. Clinica de Cirugia Plastica has positioned itself to serve this international market by offering a complete range of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures with bilingual consultation and post-operative care.

The clinic's website (surgerycostarica.com) is specifically designed for international patients, reflecting its orientation toward the growing medical tourism market. The team's experience working with patients from the United States and Canada means they understand the specific concerns, expectations, and logistical needs of North American patients undertaking cosmetic surgery abroad.

Clinica de Cirugia Plastica offers a comprehensive range of cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedures covering all major areas of the face and body. Facial procedures include facelift surgery (rhytidectomy), eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and rhinoplasty (nose surgery), addressing the most common areas of facial aging and aesthetic concern. Ear surgery (otoplasty) is also available for patients seeking correction of prominent or asymmetrical ears.

Breast procedures include breast augmentation with saline or silicone implants, breast reduction for symptomatic macromastia, breast lift (mastopexy) for ptotic breasts, and breast reconstruction for patients who have undergone mastectomy. Body contouring procedures include liposuction of multiple areas, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) in both full and mini variants, and buttocks augmentation. The comprehensive procedure list allows patients traveling from abroad to address multiple cosmetic concerns in a single visit, maximizing the value of their medical travel investment.

Clinica de Cirugia Plastica operates from Centro Médico Montserrat, a well-established private medical center in San José located near Hotel Irazú. The medical center provides dedicated surgical suites equipped with modern anesthesia systems, surgical instrument sets, patient monitoring, and recovery areas that meet the standards for outpatient and short-stay cosmetic procedures.

Operating within a recognized medical center provides access to supporting services including pre-operative laboratory testing, diagnostic imaging if required, and post-operative nursing care. The bilingual administrative and clinical team at the clinic ensures smooth communication for English-speaking patients throughout their care experience. Patient-centered care in a clean, professionally managed environment reflects the clinic's commitment to international medical tourism standards.

Costa Rica attracts thousands of medical tourists from the USA and Canada annually for plastic surgery, drawn by a combination of board-certified surgeons, modern facilities, and procedures at 50 to 70 percent of US prices. Clinica de Cirugia Plastica actively serves this international market with English-language consultations, transparent treatment pricing, and scheduling flexibility to accommodate patients' travel windows.

San José is served by Juan Santamaría International Airport with direct flights from Miami (approximately 2.5 hours), Houston (3.5 hours), New York (5 hours), Los Angeles (5.5 hours), and other major US cities. Breast augmentation that costs $6,000 to $10,000 in the US may cost $2,500 to $4,500 in Costa Rica at comparable quality. The clinic can be reached at (506) 2296.5964 for initial consultations. Information is also available at surgerycostarica.com for patients planning their medical travel.

Clinica de Cirugia Plastica operates under the professional oversight of the Colegio de Médicos y Cirujanos de Costa Rica, which licenses and regulates medical practice in the country, and the Costa Rican Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, which sets specialty-specific standards for plastic surgery practice. Surgeons at the clinic hold professional degrees from accredited Costa Rican or international medical institutions and are registered as specialists in plastic and reconstructive surgery with the appropriate professional bodies.

Costa Rica's medical education system and specialist training pathways produce plastic surgeons whose qualifications are comparable to those of their North American counterparts. Surgeons complete medical school, surgical residency, and plastic surgery fellowship training before practicing independently. The clinic's operation from within Centro Médico Montserrat, a recognized private medical facility, adds institutional credibility and access to quality-controlled surgical infrastructure. Patients are encouraged to review their surgeon's specific credentials, board certification, and professional registration prior to scheduling cosmetic procedures.
