Enlarging the economy But plastic surgeon Andres Mejia says that for cities like Cali the volume is huge.

Damn: Those guy live like kings,, A Colombian doctor, trained in the U.S. and returning as a plastic surgeon could make 10,000 U.S. dollars a month. That was 3 years ago, Based on the High price quoted it is probably $12,500 plus.

My first thought is:

We are leaving the poor behind.

My second thought,, the medical industry could very well surpass chasing women as the number one reason to visit Colombia. Not anytime soon of course but definately uplifting.

My third thought is:

Will we have government intervention and nude protests because the price will soon be out of reach of the average Colombian? Darn it, for 8K USD she should have also received butt implants/reconstruction and leg lipo. NOT FAIR !!!!

I was wondering.... ...if you get plastic surgery in Colombia, do you have to declare the value of your new "look" when returning to the U.S. or just the value of the implants?

Conundrum of size and inflation just the value of the implants?

Implant value - beauty is not always skin deep

The solution should be kilo weight and not size.
