Botched Girl Summer: The Unofficial Guide for International Plastic Surgery & Cosmetic Dentistry

Traveling for plastic surgery and cosmetic dentistry has increased in volume year after year for over a decade. We see the trend and we think it’s going in the wrong direction. Modern medicine has improved the safety of surgical procedures and improved the beauty of the finished product. Unfortunately, most countries don’t offer the same level of infrastructure and basic standards to offer equivalent quality surgical care. There are a few exceptions, but it is nearly impossible to know where it is safe and where it isn’t unless you are an expert in the field. This book was designed to educate potential patients and guide them through the process of selecting a surgeon that will increase chances of a successful surgical experience. We know that you want the best boob job and butt lift for your money, but we also know that you want to wake up after surgery and come home safely to your family.Just like medical tourism – dental tourism is the practice of traveling outside of the United States to seek dental work.

The would-be savings hunters may disguise that key part of the conversation in various ways, but it is only to dress up the reality that they are going because it is cheaper.HEART TO HEART w/ DR.
