What benefits are offered by cosmetic surgery in the UK?

The number of benefits offered by cosmetic surgery in the UK as opposed to procedures overseas is vast. For example, how will you communicate effectively with your foreign cosmetic surgery provider if English is their second language? And will they be as thorough in looking after your needs before, during and after your procedure?

Opt for cosmetic surgery in the UK, and you'll enjoy:

  • Established and conveniently located clinics with proven clinical track records
  • Tight regulatory framework and clinical governance
  • Unquestionable professionalism and standards of medical excellence
  • 'Hand holding' before, during and after your cosmetic surgery procedure
  • No need for complicated long-haul travel or foreign language services
  • Cosmetic surgery that's insured against risk by a UK provider

A word of warning to those seeking cosmetic surgery overseas

Former president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, Norman Waterhouse, warned women to be careful of taking up what may seem like attractive offers for cosmetic surgery overseas. Indeed, UK surgeons often warn of the dangers of such cut-price surgery and emphasise the benefits of cosmetic surgery in UK.

SurgiCare’s Chief Executive, Mark Bury, an advocate of the benefits of cosmetic surgery in UK asks : "Why would you go to a country where you can't check out the credentials of the surgeon or even speak the language?

"If you want your surgery to be successful, why use a cheap surgeon? We should remember that cosmetic surgery and weight loss surgery is elective surgery so why would you cut corners with your own health and ultimately your life.

"Furthermore, a crucial benefit of cosmetic surgery in the UK is the unparalleled levels of aftercare offered. How can you get good aftercare when your surgeon is thousands of miles away?

"At SurgiCare, all our surgeons are specialists; on the GMC specialist register. All our weight loss surgery surgeons are "Gold standard” bariatric surgeons. They each in turn will have carried out thousands of operations within their chosen field.

Most people would agree that it is a false economy to travel abroad for cosmetic surgery, and that the benefits of cosmetic surgery in the UK should be more important than looking for cheaper options. By seeking cosmetic surgery overseas, you are risking your health and long term results - it really is an example of 'penny wise - pound foolish'."
