Pros and Cons of Traveling Outside US for Plastic Surgery?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of having plastic surgery outside US, especially Brazillian Butt Lift or Breast Augmentation? I'm concerned though about recovery and traveling home after surgery as well as safe medical practices. I welcome any feedback.
