Thinking about surgery abroad? Read this first. 🚨
Before you book a flight, take it from and speak to a UK-based surgeon first 🇬🇧
Your health isn’t a holiday extra - and there’s a lot to consider before committing to treatment overseas.
If you’re still planning to go abroad, make absolutely sure these safety essentials are in place:
🩺 Full pre- and post-op assessments with qualified professionals
📖 Clear, honest information about the procedure (no surprises!)
🚫 No ‘stacking’ of multiple surgeries in one go
👨⚕️ A skilled, reputable surgical team
✈️ Avoid flying straight after surgery - blood clots are a real risk
🆘 Access to expert aftercare if something goes wrong
I’ve sadly seen too many female patients return from overseas surgery with major issues - confused about what they’ve had done, unable to contact the team, and dealing with long-term complications.
✨ Safe surgery isn’t cheap, rushed, or part of a package deal.
Please: do your research, ask the hard questions, and choose your care with your wellbeing in mind. 💜
