The cost of melanoma surgery in Mexico typically ranges from $6,000 to $9,000. Pricing varies depending on the surgical approach (wide local excision, sentinel lymph node biopsy, or more extensive procedures), the hospital, the surgeon’s expertise, and whether reconstruction is needed. In the United States, the average cost is $20,000 (per ASPS). Melanoma surgery in Mexico is generally about 63% less than in the U.S.
Mexican hospitals usually include pre-op evaluation, anesthesia, surgery, pathology analysis of removed tissue, and follow-up visits in the price. In the U.S., the base fee often covers only the surgeon’s charge, with anesthesia, pathology, and hospital fees billed separately. Always confirm which services and pathology reports are included at each clinic.
