Army Wife Wins A Foreign Tummy Tuck Lottery

Marketing ploys for cosmetic surgery are as popular as ever, drawing the fancies and whetting the hopes of women more than men.

Tina Watson was no exception to this trend and her tendency to put down her name for contests and promotions finally paid off. An army wife, Tina had been yearning for a tummy tuck for 14 years and an online promotion brought her dreams to fruition.

The 32-year-old is just one of the many examples of plastic surgery tourism that is experiencing an all-time high given the recent economic status of the USD. The British are one of the cosmetic surgery hopefuls setting their sights on less expensive healthcare and cosmetic procedures available in countries like Hungary, Brazil and even the U.S.

Tina Watson, a resident of Haverfordwest in Wales, did not have to pay for her tummy tuck surgery though. Her tummy tuck procedure was performed in Tunisia with all her expenses cared for.

Tunisia, situated in North Africa, is one of the vacation countries (Thailand, India, etc.) that have emerged as major attractions for cosmetic surgery tourism. While there may be exceptional surgeons performing the operations, plastic surgeons warn that countries like these may not always be equipped to offer the latest in healthcare that Westerners are used to.

Always get an opinion from a medical expert who has no vested interests in your tummy tuck or health decisions. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California always advises candidates to consider what their physicians or GPs have to say regardless of our unbiased consultations.
