A change is as good as a holiday, the old saying states. Combine a fun holiday in the sun with some carefully selected 'changes' and you could be looking at a whole new you!
Of course a break from the daily grind and commuter hell can do anyone wonders. Some African sun on your skin, a safari through the golden Bush viewing the big five, midday siestas by the pool - who wouldn't come home looking tanned and relaxed and feeling great?
But in ever-increasing numbers, holiday-makers are returning from their annual vacations looking less simply laid back and relaxed, more absolutely fabulous!
As important as it is, no amount of R&R could leave you with perkier breasts, smoother skin, whiter teeth and a shapelier butt. Yet it would seem that a South African holiday can promise - and deliver - all this and more.
What began as a fad solely for the idle rich or extra adventurous has evolved into a mainstream trend for many Westerners. It is becoming more and more common for individuals to combine that much-desired nip and tuck with a holiday in the sun - and
South Africa is arguably the number one destination of choice for this win-win combination. So what is it about this beautiful country that sets it apart as an ideal location for a plastic surgery safari? Many unique aspects of South Africa draw thousands of sun-and-surgery seekers each year, with the numbers increasing annually.
Here are just some of the reasons behind their choice of location.
Cost
The Rand to Dollar / Pound / Euro exchange rate is a major draw-card for many. Imagine getting a selection of cosmetic procedures PLUS the vacation of a life-time for the same price as one or two procedures back home! Don't forget recovery time - recuperate and relax in a far-away dream destination - at a totally affordable price. That's taking airfare, accommodation and all medical costs into account!
Quality
Despite the 'third-world' prices, the high standards of South African plastic surgeons rate them among the highest world-wide. The quality of services and procedures as well as pre- and post-operative care is at a premium.
Accommodation
From elite game reserves and luxury hotels to stunning self-catering villas and apartments, visitors are spoiled for choice when it comes to venues to prepare for or recover from cosmetic surgery. Apart from being a great choice as a place to sneak in some surgical enhancement, South Africa is a must-see destination in its own right.
Confidentiality and Confidence without Compromise
Despite the ever-increasing acceptance of the process of undergoing surgical enhancement, there's something undeniably appealing about slipping away from prying eyes and putting your trim new figure and glowing skin down to a healthy holiday abroad.
So if you're considering a holiday that includes some enhancement - whether minor alterations of a complete 'extreme makeover', South Africa could be the land in the sun where you travel to meet the slimmer, smoother and more svelte you!
