Sorry if this is in wrong place, I will also put it in Travel if ok.
I have looked at a Plastic Surgery package in KL and have asked for help with flights but wanted to know if anyone has ever done a similar thing and could tell me about it.
I am not fussed where I go but price is a major factor...
I am looking for a nose job, face lift, liposuction under chin and either lipo or tummy tuck whichever the surgeon thinks best?
If anyone has any info I would be so grateful, I have seen a US web site which pays for girls to have boob jobs by donations by the visitors to the site but it seemed a tad sleazy to me?
Any advice would be appreciated:confused:

Lesley Ash, Pete Burns, Michael Jackson, Farahh Fawcett-Majors.
Just 4 well known people, off the top of my head, who have had plastic surgery go very wrong.
I doubt price was a priorit for any of these people, and yet it still went wrong.
People are not like machines which can just change a worn out part.
Even minor surgery can go wrong.
Do you really want to put the extra risk of an unknown quality regulation system on top of the risks you will be facing anyway?

Have a flick through these, then look in the mirror again.

I went to Prague and had my boobs done. The clinic was way cleaner than I would have found here and the care was excellent. My boobs look great and I couldnt be happier with them!
Not all cosmetic surgery goes wrong just the same as not all dentists are butchers just the same as not everything in the UK is fantastic!
But with all things its a case of do your research! This is your body and you only get the one!

I would just advise caution; the cost may be lower, the standards "higher", cleanliness and reputation spotless. BUT.....
The distance is what the distance is.
I made a 10 hour flight for a procedure - exciting on the way there for sure. Not so much fun on the return journey - in discomfort, looking shocking, feeling even worse (all this from an eyelid lift, nothing major for me thank very much), having to take off sunglasses to come through passport control (and a nod and smile from the security officer) - and after all that, I wasn't happy with the outcome (and had raised concerns with the clinic and my trip organiser but they were brushed aside as needing time to settle (huh?) - but the surgeon wasn't back in the UK for six weeks.
Nah. Think again.
You think there will be a saving but I spent - all told - about £4,500 and could I think have had it done 20 miles away for that.
Interestingly, the company who organised it for me is no longer in existence.
