Plastic Surgery on the Cheap

Plastic Surgery on the Cheap

Let’s face it, the recession has hit us hard, what with the unemployment rate being the highest it’s been in the last 26 years.  We need something that can cheer us up.  Hmm, let me think… how about cosmetic surgery!  Now if you’re thinking, “I can’t afford plastic surgery.  Only celebrities like Kathy Griffin can afford that stuff”, then think again.  Yes, that’s right, there are tricks of the trade- that is, the trade of looking fabulous.  Simply put, there are ways of getting plastic surgery on the cheap.  So cheer up guy who works at General Motors, treat yourself to some rhinoplasty.  Or if not for you, then do it in the memory of Michael Jackson.  Do it for the USA!  YES WE CAN… get tummy tucks!

My Free Implants (You Know, for Boobs)

If you’re a lady and a spendthrift, who also happens to have small breasts that you’re unsatisfied with, then you’re probably less than pleased with the average cost of a boob job (,000).  That is, unless you’ve heard of myfreeimplants.com, a website who’s title says it all.  Basically, complete strangers serve as benefactors to the female clientele looking for breast augmentation.  Essentially, the women interested would have to set up their own profile (think Twitter, but with more boobs) where you write a short bio and upload pictures of yourself (nudity is not required, though let’s be honest, you’ll probably get more donations if you are).  From there, you can interact with the benefactors on the site by sending personal messages, sending “custom” photos, chatting through live audio and video, or writing personalized blogs (which, if you can get a guy to donate money by reading a stupid blog about your tits, then more power to you).

Now if you’re thinking, “This all sounds a little creepy”, I assure you, it’s totally creepy.  But hey, you’re the one who wants free breast implants.  And apparently lots of strangers out there want you to have them too.  But if you’re clever you can work the system, seeing as how you don’t have to pose naked and you can reach out to as many benefactors as you want.  Plus to protect your identity you can use aliases, just like a secret agent (who wants big boobs!)  So upload a picture of yourself eating a chili dog in a bikini and let the lonely middle school guidance counselors of the world fund your surgery as they watch repeats of Battlestar Galactica.

Going Abroad = Cosmetic Surgery + Vacation

After plastic surgery, a certain amount of recovery time is required.  So instead of spending that time on your sofa watching daytime television, why don’t you enjoy the exotic scenery of a small town in Thailand or a pueblo villa in Brazil?  That certainly beats watching The Bonnie Hunt Show.  Not to mention that cosmetic surgery is way cheaper in other parts of the world.  And believe it or not, lots of different countries are getting involved in cosmetic tourism, offering package deals for those who like to save money, look amazing, and get cultured all at the same time.  Plus, telling your co-workers you’re going on vacation is a lot less conspicuous than trying to convince them that you “fell down the stairs” in an attempt to explain your swelling, post-op face.

Generally speaking, Asia and South America offer the cheapest forms of plastic surgery.  At cosmeticsurgerytravel.com, you can set up a trip to Thailand as well as a specific procedure of cosmetic or dental surgery.  They assign you your own personal medical concierge, who helps you plan your trip and helps estimate the cost.  They even pick you up from the airport.  They include five packages, all of which run pretty cheap, considering that most of them include hospital stay and resort recovery, as well as anesthetic and the surgery itself.

Brazil offers similar packages with cosmeticvacations.com, where the clinic’s owner Dr. Ronaldo Pontes and his daughter, Dr. Giselle Pontes, are both members of the International Society of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery.  Not to mention that they both sound like beautiful soap opera characters (I like to imagine that Ronaldo wears an eye patch).  Furthermore, if you suffer from a flat ass (medical term: pancake butt), then your destination is the Caribbean International Plastic Surgery Centre, located in Venezuela.  They specialize in buttocks augmentation, though they offer other services, such as breast augmentation (starting at ,500), rhinoplasty (,500-3,000), and something called intimate feminine corrections (,500-2,000).  If you’re there you might as well get the buttocks augmentation, because any secondary procedure that’s compatible will be 20% off.  And who doesn’t like a good sale?

However, the big daddy of cosmetic tourism seems to be something called Surgeon and Safari (surgeon-and-safari.co.za) located in South Africa.  What better way to recuperate from plastic surgery than a relaxing safari through the South African brush!  Now I’m not positive about this, but if a lion bites your face off on safari, you’ll probably get a pretty good discount on reconstructing it.  But if safari’s not your thing, they also offer luxury hotels in Cape Town and Johannesburg for recovery.

New Practice, Cheap Surgery

It may be worthwhile to peruse the new practices specializing in cosmetic surgery because like any business, they need good publicity.  In this case, you may want to offer your services as a model for those before-and-after pictures that so many cosmetic surgery offices like to plaster on the inside of subway trains.  Think about it, you could be riding the 1 Train, laughing at everyone who grimaces at the picture of your crusty-ass feet emblazoned on the inside of the train.  And why would you be laughing?  Because you got free (or a seriously reduced price on) orthopedic surgery, that’s why.

Likewise, you may want to seek out various med schools, as many of them offer seriously reduced prices on otherwise expensive procedures like nose realignments and face lifts.  Yes, there is some risk that your med student surgeon was up all night doing beer-bongs.  However, most intensive procedures (such as cutting up an actual human being) will be supervised and monitored by practicing physicians.  Obviously, the more upscale the med school is, the better the treatment will be.  Just make sure the med school isn’t attached to a mall and you should be okay.

Medical Tourism in the Philippines gets a boost with the release of Phillipines: The Heart of Asia, the latest edition of the Philippines’ official medical and wellness travel guide and directory.

Published by HIM Communications and HealthCORE, Philippines: The Heart of Asia is a comprehensive guide to the country’s health and wellness tourism providers.

The publication of the travel guide has been timely, with the country becoming more popular as a healthcare destination among patients around the world. An increasing number of international patients are arriving in the Philippines to seek high-quality medical care from world-class doctors, nurses and other medical professionals who are naturally warm, friendly, caring and compassionate.

From simple aesthetic and dental procedures to complex specialty areas such as oncology, cardiology and stem cell therapy, from rejuvenating spa treatments to long-term healthcare and retirement, the Philippines offers a wide range of services at a cost 50% to 80% lower compared to those in the US and Europe.

HIM Communications and HealthCORE have thus teamed up to create a guide for those who are on a journey to total health and wellness.

“Philippines: The Heart of Asia provides a wealth of information, suitable for people contemplating about seeking treatment or have already decided to be a medical traveler in the Philippines. Through this handy volume, we are one step closer to bringing international patients to what has often been referred to as the Heart of the Asia,” said Editor-in-Chief Joyce Alumno.

Philippines: The Heart of Asia also features a special section on the Philippine Dermatological Society (PDS). Patients considering aesthetic treatments and cosmetic procedures can refer to the directory of members of PDS, the Philippines’
only specialty society for dermatology recognized by the Philippine Medical Association (PMA).

Meant for both the seasoned and the first-time traveler, the directory is a valuable resource that will let people discover and navigate the Philippines as a global healthcare destination. It is also accessible through the website
www.philippinesheartofasia.ph.

What Is Medical Tourism

Medical Tourism: Get Quality Cure

Medical Tourism: Get Quality Cure

In todays era health care has become an important area, which needs attention. People from various parts travel to various countries, which offer excellent quality health care services. Medical tourism is not a new concept. People, over thousands of years have traveled far and wide to various countries to get themselves cured. They traveled for spiritual treatment also. The earliest recorded event of medical tourism dates back hundreds of years to when Greek pilgrims traveled from Mediterranean to the small place in the Saronic Gulf called Epidauria. Epidauria then became the original travel destination for medical tourism. The concept of medical tourism was initially coined by the travel agencies and the media as a catchall phrase to describe a fast growing industry where people travel to different nations to obtain medical services. The quality health care services, technology and most efficient physicians can be found in countries like United States, Canada etc. Cosmetic surgery treatment is more popular in countries like Bolivia, Columbia, Brazil etc. Argentina and Mexico are most sought after for plastic surgery.

Seeking medical treatment abroad may prove to be a beneficial experience for many. Medical tourism is related to this definition. Medical tourism is a better option than insurance. A person, who wants to seek medical treatment, must have a clear understanding of his medical condition. Self evaluation is a very crucial aspect in this area. If the person is not able to self evaluate himself, he can seek professional help. Several hospitals offer such services. One can just have surf on the internet. There are many websites dealing in these services. One must always care and think before twice before spending any amount of money. Otherwise it can remain just a shuffle of some paper around. There are some countries which are overburdened with patients. This makes the doctor’s treatment to get late than expected. Delayed heart surgeries can be life threatening. Medical tourism can help a lot in getting rid of this problem.

The most important driving force for medical tourism is the quality. It is a common notion among the people that one can find good and high quality treatment facilities overseas. Underdeveloped countries often lack proper medical facilities. That’s why people throng to other developed nations to get themselves cured. But this notion is not a reality. One can find good doctors and surgeons who can perform the same quality operations in any country. Doctors are even prepared to perform the treatment free of charge without even compromising the quality and attention.

Cosmetic and dental surgeries are the most sought after options which one can avail during medical tourism. There is a wide market of these surgeries abroad. Heart surgeries, knee surgeries, orthopedic surgeries also find a dominant place in this area. One can find quality and experienced professionals who can provide excellent health care services to the patient. Taking the help of medical treatment from abroad is not without risks. Once must be sure that subsequent visits could be made for the necessary treatment or the treatments for such medical conditions could be obtained through the local hospitals. There are several factors, which have to be taken care of while choosing a destination place for medical tourism such as high health care services and costs, quality, waiting for certain procedures, affordability and availability of international travel and latest technology used in the treatment. The ease and affordability of international travel and the advancement of technology and standards of medical service in many countries of the world are the dominant features, which have made popular the concept of medical tourism. Thus, many countries are attracting people all over the world through this field.
