Mexico City, Mexico, 26/07/2017 –  Latin America’s leading e-Commerce platform Linio.com has released a study detailing the most and least expensive countries for breast augmentation. The study is part of the company’s 2017 Beauty Price Index, comparing the cost of several in-demand beauty products and services across 50 countries. Linio undertook the research to better understand global economic trends in the multi-billion beauty industry.

India offered the least expensive breast augmentation procedures, at an average $1.650. At the other end of the scale, Switzerland offered the most expensive procedure and  $10.434. Reasons behind such disparity largely boil down to general costs of living, where rent, medical fees and other livings costs combine to increase overall procedure costs.

“At Linio, we place a high value on transparency with our customers, and we hope that our index helps people more confidently interpret variations in costs associated with beauty around the world,” Andreas Mjelde Linio’s CEO said. “Increasingly, the average citizen is a global one, and with a better understanding of global markets comes empowerment to travel, shop, and live smarter.”
