| slug| Breast enlargement remains the most popular of all surgical procedures Breasts Going abroad? Ask the questions you would do in England and check the local regulations to make sure your trip is one to remember for all the right reasons… Combining a holiday with cosmetic surgery offers the opportunity to assist with the recovery process when it is most needed; you are away from daily stresses and strains. Overseas cosmetic surgery clinics attract UK patients for many reasons. You can have a relaxing break and combine it with a makeover. Plus, the option of having surgery abroad can sometimes be cheaper, though the costs of travel, accommodation and follow-up care have to be factored in. However, if you decide surgery isn’t for you, you can always try one of the many anti-ageing or revitalising treatments available at resort spas. cosmetic surgery clinics in the area, and book a consultation. The choice is yours and will depend on whether or not you want your holiday to revolve around the cosmetic surgery. The most common procedure in this area is breast augmentation, also called enlargement, where small breasts or breasts that have decreased in size after childbirth, are increased in size through the insertion of an implant behind the natural breast tissue. Also popular is the breast reduction, which involves reducing the amount of breast tissue while also uplifting the breast. This may involve repositioning of the nipple and areola to give the breasts a more natural appearance. Breast uplift, or mastopexy, involves loose skin being removed and the breast lifted, while at the same time the nipple is repositioned centrally on the new breast, which is now firmer. If only a small amount of breast tissue is present, implants can be inserted during surgery to improve size at the same time. Macrolane, which arrived in the UK in 2008, is a gel filler which is injected into the breast with a long, blunt needle. It is said to increase the bust by one cup size, lasts about a year and costs around £2,000. Safety first Stomach The tummy tuck (which is also known as abdominal reduction or abdominoplasty) is surgery that flattens the stomach by removing excess fat and skin, and tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall. Typically, incisions are made around the bellybutton and across the pelvic area in a ‘U’ or ‘V’ shape. If only a little skin is to be removed, the scar may be placed just above the pubic area. Liposuction is a method of fat removal that involves the insertion of hollow tubes called cannula into small incisions in the skin through which fat is sucked out of the body. LaserLipo is a newer, non-invasive and pain-free technique. It works by disrupting the cell wall with a low-level laser (the Strawberry) so that the fatty acids are released into the lymph and will leave the body naturally via the venous system. ✱ Solo or specialist There are two ways of organising cosmetic surgery abroad. One is to use a company which can organise the whole package. For example, some companies will find you the most experienced surgeon at your desired location, arrange your travel needs, including the cheapest air fares, and accommodation. They will also take care of you in recovery and after-care once back in Britain, and even suggest tourist places to visit on your holiday. Alternatively, if you prefer to handle it yourself: choose and book your holiday destination, then research If you opt to have cosmetic surgery in a foreign country, ask the same questions as you would when in the UK. Whichever destination you choose, it’s worth checking what the regulations are, as well as the doctor’s/ surgeon’s qualifications, and any other practitioners who may be involved. You should also check whether or not the doctor, hospital or clinic has insurance that covers your procedure. Another vital element is choosing a specialist who speaks English and understands you. Communication is essential when undergoing surgery; you need to be 100% happy, and know exactly what will happen. Ask about aftercare, revision surgery and if any complications arise, you need to know how will they be handled. Not all countries have the same regulatory framework as England so standards may vary. The Healthcare Commission, responsible for regulating and checking private cosmetic surgery in England, does not cover procedures carried out abroad. JUNE 2011 | 225
