You will save money on these foreign country cosmetic trips that is unless you have a complication. The negatives are quality control, recourse and management of problems should you have any. I would not advise having a large scale operation there requiring much post-operative care. Those are the cases in which risk may exceed benefit. American surgeons will likely not be available if you have problems as the liability for them is large.
As with anything patients should evaluate risk versus benefit to come to a decision.
