Subject: Re: Your enquiry
I never ever look at anyone else's site when browsing around for
surgery, dentist, etc., your site is the best and easiest to follow, and an
enormous amount of work by Linda and her team in sourcing out surgeons' prices,
countries is so beneficial for people when they need to start making
choices. I will be, hopefully, be getting my dentist work done out
in Budapest.

Linda
advises all patients to follow medical advice given and not to return home
too soon, especially with long haul flights, after cosmetic surgery.
The
article below, states that some patients who had procedures abroad,
following complications had to receive treatment within the NHS. Whilst we would not say the report is inaccurate, it does over generalise.
It does not name the countries or the clinics/surgeons where these
complications have arisen. Neither does it say if these complications are as a result of patients failing to follow any post
operative medical advice before returning home.
To avoid this
Linda Briggs ensures that all our overseas surgeons, listed here, are
highly qualified and registered with their countries professionals bodies.
The hospitals where these procedures are carried out are also of
the highest standards.
To put all this into perspective, the UK is
not immune from complications following surgery. Linda Briggs has
had many cases of patients she has helped to receive revision surgery
abroad, following poor surgery from within the UK.
More than a few
of Linda Briggs surgeons are also GMC registered and have a licence to
practice in the UK. They can carry out consultations, follow ups
and surgery in the UK. Where Linda Briggs can help you, is by guiding you to the very best options available in the UK and overseas for
your cosmetic surgery. This has only been possible, because of
the research carried out into the surgeons and hospitals, both in the UK
and abroad, over the last 10 years

OVERSEAS
COSMETIC SURGERY BURDENS NHS
The British Association of Plastic,
Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) has said that the rise of
cosmetic surgery tourism is threatening patient safety and is a burden on
the NHS.
In its latest research, BAPRAS found that in 2007, 23% of
its members had to treat NHS patients with complications after cosmetic
surgery abroad.
In 2007, at least 208 patients were seen by UK
plastic surgeons for complications after overseas cosmetic surgery. Three quarters of those required treatment. The research revealed that of these, 26% of patients had to have emergency surgery. 31% opted to have elective surgery to rectify the problem, 33% had none surgical
treatment as an outpatient and 8% had none surgical treatment as an
inpatient.
BAPRAS, research also found no clear NHS policy on
treatment of these patients for acute complications of their surgery or
for elective revisions of their procedures.
Following the
announcement, the Post Office did its own research and found 36% of
medical tourists failed to check that their travel insurance policy covers
them for surgery. A further one in 10 people knew they were not covered but had surgery abroad anyway.
