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.

i'm a plastic general practitioner in Houston and ought to coach you some photos of botched plastic surgical operation from south and central usa that could make you draw back. i'm at the instant engaged on a woman who went in for a atummy tuck technique, in basic terms to energe horribly disfigured- which is composed of the certainty that they forgot to grant her a abdomen button! long tale short, there are not any rules or policies in many the worldwide that keeps nonqualified people from doing something they choose to you. pay attention

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?

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.
