Most
of us like to come back from holiday looking tanned, rested and radiant.
But what if that special 'holiday glow' had taken a little more than a few
days on the sun lounger - like attention from a surgeon's knife? And
the best part being that nobody would need ever know?
That's why
many women considering cosmetic surgery are looking abroad for their
surgeons. There,
they can combine a facelift, boob job or liposuction with a two week
holiday - and often still pay far less than the total cost of the same
procedure at home.
Among the most popular destinations are South
Africa, Poland,
the USA and
Spain.
But the Internet has revealed a whole list of other-options,
The Czech Republic, Thailand, Croatia,
Holland, even Russia are all doing a booming trade in cut-price plastic
surgery packages.
But, of course, the downside is it's difficult, or sometimes near impossible, to check a clinic's credentials in another
country. Linda
Briggs, who underwent
cosmetic surgery abroad, has started her own website (www.lindabriggs.co.uk) to help
women in their search for reputable surgeons overseas.
'More and more
women are coming to me for advice,' she says. In some cases surgeon
s in other countries have more experience of procedures than they have
here in the UK.'
So,
wish you were there? Well, here's our low-down on some of low-cost deals
from abroad.
