What
is Linda Briggs?
Linda Briggs.co.uk was
started in 1999, after a
close shave with a UK surgeon. Although
Linda Briggs face lift was fine, she was shocked to hear that the same
surgeon had numerous complaints against him and was suspended by the GMC.

Linda
Briggs will never know, if it was because she was writing a story for a
women's magazine that saved her.

Your site, as I said, is
the best by far - and thank you for opening my eyes and my mind to all
those opportunities out there! Carolyne

As
she had the income to build a web site, giving free information for
patients, she set about doing so, to save others falling into similar
potential traps. At the time the web site was started,
there was very little information available and cosmetic surgery was being
sold the same as double glazing by sales staff on commission. There
were a lot of patients being given the hard sell for surgery they didn't
need.

As
the web site grew, Linda Briggs received more and more enquiries from
patients who wanted surgery, but wanted to get it right and didn't know
how to begin. She gave up her full time employment in the law and
set up her on
line shop to
provide an income to support her passion.
This career change, with just 15 years left before retirement, was a bit of a shot in the dark and could have cost Linda Briggs her life savings and no money to retire on, but she felt very passionate and went for
it anyway. See what the Daily
Mirror say about her web site

Linda's
passion led her to invite a large number of cosmetic surgeons in the UK,
to work with her and provide more information for patients. She was
only contacted by one surgeon. From this one surgeon
and many hours of work adding researched data to the web site, other
surgeons from overseas started to contact Linda and wanted to work with
her. Over the years, more and more UK and overseas surgeons
have become part of the Linda Briggs network and they give information and
advice freely to ensure that patients are not pressurised and go into
surgery with their eyes open.
Trading Standards are very happy that
Linda Briggs is totally independent and as far as is known, is probably
the only truly independent service offering advice on cosmetic surgeons.
Linda Briggs is and has never been, allied to any one surgeon clinic or
hospital
Linda Briggs travelled around the world looking at the facilities
available and speaking to surgeons and their patients to get a feel for
their work. Not all surgeons are accepted by Linda Briggs as the criteria set is very high. Not only must they have the education, training and qualifications and memberships expected of a surgeon, but they
must also be approachable and be able to deal with minor problems
efficiently. As cosmetic surgery is not an exact science, there are occasional adjustments
that need to be made.
The information provided to members of the
public, is totally free. For services that require third party involvement, such as flight bookings, there is a minimal charge to
cover administration.
Linda
Briggs can offer you as much or as little help as you need to source
your surgery. Some consultations can be booked, advice re flights and hotels/self-catering accommodation can be provided where applicable.. Linda Briggs can give you information, advice and suitable contacts thus making your trip for surgery
relatively stress free. If you prefer to make your own contact with
the surgeons on the web sites, please use the get info now buttons available.
Linda Briggs answers all email enquiries, but due to the large numbers received daily, please be patient if you do
not receive a reply the same day.
Please
see other ways to contact
Linda Briggs.
