Plastic Surgery for Patients from Fort Lauderdale in Costa Rica

Plastic and Functional Surgery for Fort Lauderdale Patients in Costa Rica

Located north of Miami in Broward County, Fort Lauderdale is a coastal city known for its high quality of life, private medical services and a population interested in facial aesthetic procedures and rejuvenation. However, as in other South Florida cities, the costs of oculoplastic surgery are often high and frequently do not include anesthesia or operating room fees.

As an alternative, a growing number of patients from Fort Lauderdale travel to Costa Rica, where they receive eyelid surgery and facial rejuvenation with international medical standards, personalized care and transparent pricing.

At Arte Facial, led by Dr. Abraham Gómez, we attend patients from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa Bay, Coral Gables and nearby areas, who seek natural results, medical excellence and recovery in a safe, calm environment.
