Increasingly, people in the United States are seeking a plastic surgeon with extensive training who offers safe and affordable procedures to enhance their appearance. In Florida, one of the most densely populated states in the country, numerous clinics and surgical specialists provide eyelid and facial cosmetic surgery services. Although approximate prices for these surgeries are available online, the cost of the procedure often increases significantly due to additional fees that are not mentioned in the initial quotes. These additional fees include the anesthesiologist’s fee and the operating room cost, which, incidentally, varies greatly depending on the type of procedure and the complexity of the surgery.
Costa Rica has established itself as a top destination for medical tourism, offering an exceptional balance between quality, affordability, and a unique surgical experience.
At Arte Facial, under the guidance of Dr. Abraham Gómez, we serve international patients who specifically travel to Costa Rica for eyelid and facial rejuvenation procedures. Here, they receive personalized care, access accredited medical facilities, and benefit from an ideal environment for post-operative recovery. The combination of professional excellence and Costa Rican hospitality makes the country a compelling alternative to options in Florida, ensuring our patients feel valued and important.
Costs in Florida vs. Costa Rica
It’s important to note that fees in Florida are often presented partially. Many centers advertise attractive initial rates, but these do not include the anesthesiologist’s fees or operating room costs. This means that the final price of the operation will increase significantly once the billing stage is reached. In contrast, at Arte Facial in Costa Rica, we provide a transparent and cost-effective solution for your surgical needs.

Medical expertise and international excellence
The quality of private medical care in Costa Rica is recognized worldwide. Many local specialists, such as Dr. Gómez, have received training in Europe and the United States. Doctor Gómez, an international member of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS), has perfected advanced techniques in oculoplastic surgery, providing elegant, natural, and safe results
Personalized attention is another distinctive characteristic of our medical care. In Costa Rica, patients receive personalized attention with ample time to ask questions during their consultation and feel fully confident at every stage of the surgical process.
Medical tourism: surgery and recovery in a unique setting
Costa Rica not only offers competitive prices and first-class medical care, but its natural environment is also an essential part of the experience. Recovering in a country with tropical beaches, volcanoes, and lush forests allows patients to combine health and well-being in a single trip. Furthermore, the logistics are straightforward, as there are direct flights from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando that enable patients to reach the capital, San José, in just a few hours. U.S. citizens do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days, which makes planning easy and ensures a smooth process.
