Sun, Sand and Surgery Come back with more than a tan on a Gorgeous Getaway plastic surgery holiday.

Like most people running their own business, Kelly, 26 and Paul, 27 had only a limited amount of time for holidays, and this year, they wanted to squeeze in a wedding, honeymoon and some plastic surgery. The opportunity to combine surgery with an exotic holiday at less than the price of just the surgery at home was too good an offer to refuse, and Paul and Kelly took off to Malaysia for a holiday of a different kind.

The plastic surgery holiday boom
Last year, over 75,000 plastic surgery operations were performed in the UK, and the figure is growing rapidly every year. With low prices and proven quality and service, plastic surgery holidays are booming. Last year, over 1 million tourists visited Thailand and the number of surgery tourists in Malaysia has more than doubled in the past three years - to 102,000 visitors from 44,000.

The lure of a tropical surgery holiday
Initially, Kelly and Paul shopped around plastic surgeons at home. However, the high cost and the lack of follow-up care were the two deterrents of having the surgery at home.

The couple's decision to have a surgical holiday was inspired by Kelly, who wanted to combine her long-time desire for a breast enlargement with a holiday. "I figured that if I was going to have to be recovering after surgery, I may as well make that 5 star recovery.'

The couple chose to travel with Gorgeous Getaways to Malaysia. Gorgeous Getaways, a full-service operator of cosmetic surgery tours in Asia, was started by Australian Louise Cogan in January 2004, and is fast gaining a reputation as the superior cosmetic surgery holiday operator.

Sun and fun
For Kelly, her cosmetic holiday was not all about the surgery. She was also on an extended honeymoon, and was determined to have a wonderful holiday with her new husband. A couple of days later – still sore and bruised but able to walk around, Kelly and Paul made the short trip to Penang. They stayed at the beautiful Rasa Sayang Resort for some sun and relaxation.

Weighing up the costs
For Kelly and Paul, the cost of their surgical holiday came in to £7,000, inclusive of breast enlargement, liposuction and 6 porcelain veneers for Kelly, and liposuction and teeth whitening for Paul; a 3 week 5 star holiday and all transfers. The cost of just the treatments alone in the UK would be greater than £10,000.
Although thrilled at the great value they received, it was not price alone that drove them to travel with Gorgeous Getaways. Paul says: "The location of recovering in a tropical resort in Malaysia was very appealing. And thirdly, Gorgeous Getaways offered a free return flight and accommodation in Malaysia should any complications arise with the results from the surgery.'

The holiday that lasts a lifetime…

Paul is sold on Malaysia as the destination for surgery and dentistry:
"It seems common sense for those in the UK seeking cosmetic surgery to have the procedure done in Malaysia. The standard of care is second to none. There is the anonymity for those who consider it important. Above all, for the same cost as in the UK or possibly less, you can have a wonderful vacation in a beautiful country.'

The couple are excited about their new look. "I am so excited to see my new breasts.' says Kelly. "Already I feel more confident and sexy. I just can't stop shopping for new clothes and swimsuits!'

Paul simply states "I am ecstatic with my results. The reasonably small area that has been bothering me for so long is now gone, and I have got such a great new shape.'

This is just one example of a client from the Australian operator Gorgeous Getaways. As Louise Cogan, Managing Director of Gorgeous Getaways, states: "The phenomenal popularity proves that people are looking for an affordable alternative to plastic surgery, with the chance to have a luxurious tropical holiday as well.'

Paul and Kelly's adventures don't stop here. "We are planning to come back at Christmas for more treatments.' Say Paul. "My mother also is interested in traveling out for a facelift. We can't wait to return to Malaysia. I am so confident and wouldn't travel alone or with anyone else than Gorgeous Getaways now.'
