When I was last able to fly to Colombia , I was shocked to see a prominent ad in the seatback airline magazine for the horrendous transgender surgery . Medical and dental procedures in Colombia are a fraction of the cost in the USA .
Dental , about 10 % …in modern facilities with great skill . An expert in a special procedure spent 2-1/2 hours working in my mouth , assisted by two technicians continuously , and my own dentist observing every step of the way . The bill was US$ 230.00 to the expert’s office . I was not charged by my dentist , who charged me an additional $450 for an extraction , and two partial prostheses (1 upper , 1 Lower) , after the US prothetic broke while eating chicken . Two extractions done here cost me over $1100 each , not counting a prosthesis .
