Yes, you
can deduct the cost of medical procedures done in another country as long as it is a legal
operation and not “unnecessary cosmetic surgery”. This is the same
requirement for procedures done in the US. IRS Publication 502 will give you more information and an extensive list of covered medical
expenses.
The Internal
Revenue Service has no official exchange rate. The IRS will normally accept any
posted exchange rate that is used consistently. You can translate the foreign
currency to U.S. dollars using the yearly average currency exchange rate for the
tax year. In general, use the exchange rate prevailing (i.e., the spot
rate) when you receive, pay or accrue the item. This website may be helpful: https://finance.yahoo.com/currency-converter/
