Monterrey is a major city with many direct flights from several US and Canadian cities. If you live in Texas it is about a 2 hour drive from Laredo, Texas. Thousands of Americans and Canadians cross the Mexico – US border to obtain high quality and affordable surgeries for a variety of medical procedures and conditions. The cost for healthcare in the States has gotten ridiculous, not to mention the long waiting list in Canada for healthcare. Mexico has long been a favorite destination for medical travel tourists from many parts of the world. Many say its the proximity and friendly people, but those who have already been here and experienced it first hand say its due to the first class medical attention they get.
Many people tend to think that Mexico is still a third world country and their healthcare is poor, but that is all a myth. Mexico´s hospital, clinics and Institutions are very modern and have the latest technological equipment. Mexico´s Surgeons are among the best and have world recognition for their experience and accomplishments. Some of U.S. Top Surgeons received their medical studies, degrees right here in some of Mexico´s Top Medical Universities. With this said, why not join the thousands of North Americans that have taken advantage of this beautiful country´s top medical facilities and top surgeons, with a the bonus of being able to afford it.
A little trivia from the doctors at Forma Clinic: 
Cosmetic surgery is performed to reshape normal structures of the body in order to improve the patients appearance and self esteem. This includes treatment of the face, body, and extremities. A few examples are: eyelid and nose enhancement, face lifts, breast surgery, liposuction and “tummy tucks”. The use of lasers provides another treatment method to achieve facial rejuvenation. Some patients do not require surgery but would benefit significantly from other nonsurgical treatments for the skin.
