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 surgeons 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.
