Planing on having leg surgery procedure in Guatemala?
Here is some General Information about Guatemala:

Guatemala Money

The local currency is the Quetzal which is named after the national bird, which has ancient and mythic connotations even still. US dollars are widely accepted and can be exchanged in most small towns. There seemed to be a shortage of small denomination notes and coins (december 2006 - february 2007) which are essential if you want to eat from street vendors or shop in markets. Change your larger notes at every opportunity and try not to spend your change. Often store owners lie to you, claiming that they do not have change so be persistent. ATMs can be found in the major towns but do not expect to find them in every tourist spot. It is fairly easy to find your self in a town without an ATM or a place to change money.

Do not expect to be able to easily exchange travelers checks to Guatemala. You might find a few places willing to accept checks issued by American Express but all other types are universally turned down. Amazingly even major banks in Guatemala City do not accept VISA travelers checks.

Who Should Opt For Leg Surgery?

Plastic surgery for the calves is recommended for people in Guatemala (GT) whose legs are either thin and spindly or are not proportionate to their thighs and upper bodies. Anyone who has failed at improving the shape of their calves through exercise can opt for calf augmentation in order to get better looking legs that can be confidently showed off in shorts, mini skirts and swimwear.

Procedure

Calf augmentation is a body procedure that can be carried out under both local and general anesthesia and takes upwards of an hour. Overnight stay in the hospital or plastic surgeon’s clinic is often recommended. During the plastic surgery, small incisions are made at the sides of the calves. Silicone calf implants are then inserted in between the calf muscles and the incision is sealed with stitches.

Risks and Side Effects

Calf augmentation carries the risks associated with any kind of plastic surgery—excessive bleeding, infection, scarring etc. In some cases, the implants rupture inside and need to be replaced. Temporary bruising, swelling and pain is normal and will go off after a week to ten days. One can start walking a week after leg surgery but total recovery takes 6 weeks to two months.

Costs

Depending upon your choice of clinic, geographical location and your doctor, plastic leg surgery can cost you anything from $2500 to $5000.
