Cheap Plastic Surgery – travelled abroad to get cheaper plastic surgery?
Has anyone ever travelled abroad to get cheaper plastic surgery?
Hi, I am writing a feature on plastic surgery tourism, in other words, people who have shopped around for plastic surgery and decided to go abroad for the procedure for whatever reason (price, recommendation, quicker service, better confidentiality etc). If you have, it would be great if you could contact me. If you know someone who has, could you get them to message me? It’s just a general item about this topic so I could change names, etc. Also, I’d like to hear from anyone who sets up these kinds of trips or any surgeons involved – a long shot but you don’t ask you don’t get!
quite a few people travel to south africa for cheaper plastic surgery. apparently it’s known for skilled surgeons with developing-country rates. they go on safari with bandages, and come back once the scars have healed, claiming that they look younger after a good holiday. there was an article about it last year in the mail&guardian (www.mg.co.za)
you could try the Association of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons of South Africa – maybe they could direct you to some surgeons who’d be willing to talk to you. the number is +27 21 761 6833, and you can call between 10am and 2pm south african time.
If circumcision counts in your study, I’ve heard it’s cheapest in Europe, as they don’t always expect you to leave the tip. Lol.
I wouldn’t get it done it looks to expensive
yeah, i went to germany to have some cosmetic surgery and they done it really well, it was 3,500 euros i think thats 5 grand but it ws well worth it.
I hear a lot of it is done in Brazil and in Mexico as well. I have a girl friend who lives in LA and she went to Mexico
NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL.
IF I DECIDED TO HAVE ANYTHING FIXED/DONE AT ALL,I’D FEEL WAY SAFER IN AMERICA.
JUST THE FACT THAT YOU’RE KINDA IFFY ON IT TOO,I HOPE YOU DECIDE TO DO IT IN AMERICA.
IT COSTS MORE $$$$$,BUT YOU’LL GET IT DONE SAFELY AND RIGHT.
PERHAPS YOU CAN GET SOME KINDA PAYMENT PLAN IF YOUR CREDIT IS OK?
