Although cosmetic surgery has well and truly joined the medical mainstream, as well as hitting the headlines and entering public consciousness, there is still a fear of the unknown among a minority of prospective patients.
Specialists at Why Go Abroad are helping remove this uncertainty thanks to their at-a-glance guide to cosmetic surgery.
First of all, relax, there are more than 100,000 cosmetic surgery procedures carried out in the UK every year. In fact, some estimates suggest the figure is nearer 200,000 – that’s around 550 plastic surgery ops a day – so, provided you consult an expert provider like Why Go Abroad, you’re in good hands.
What cosmetic surgery is available?
Why Go Abroad offers the following:
- Cosmetic surgery – the most popular procedures are boob jobs, liposuction and tummy tucks. Cosmetic surgery can be broken down into breast surgery, body surgery and facial surgery
- Obesity surgery, or weight-loss surgery, such as gastric bands and gastric balloons
- Hair restoration surgery, predominantly hair transplants.
How safe is cosmetic surgery?
Cosmetic surgery is very safe but, as with all medical procedures, there is inevitably an element of risk. To minimise any risk, however, Why Go Abroad only employs experienced, GMC-registered surgeons.
In addition, patients see a patient care co-ordinator as well as their surgeon prior to the treatment, so they can discuss the procedure in detail and see before and after pictures of the surgeon’s work.
Once the operation is complete, Why Go Abroad also offers expert aftercare as part of its service, to ensure that recovery is as smooth as painless as possible.
What about the prices?
Cosmetic surgery prices vary, for example liposuction is available from just £2,450, while a boob job starts at £3,595.
