Yesterday we met an 18-year-old mum preparing for nip-and-tuck surgery to firm up her post-pregnancy body and saw the surge in the cosmetic holiday trend.

But tonight we meet two women who are suffering the dire consequences of cosmetic holiday makeovers gone wrong.

STATEMENT FROM Gorgeous Getaways Pty Ltd
Gorgeous Getaways uses the highest standards of surgical and medical care, together with our own team who cares for all patients every day they are in Malaysia. Our surgeons are trained in either Australia or the UK. For over 6 years we have had over 2,000 patients, with a satisfaction rate of 99%. Our risks are the same % as any surgeon, anywhere in the world.
In the 1% where there is a problem - we have a Guarantee that covers surgery problems if something goes wrong - where we will pay for corrective surgery, flights and accommodation to correct the problem. This guarantee is void for patients who don’t follow our advice and continue to smoke and drink leading to complications and poor healing.
