  A recent global survey conducted by market researcher ACNielsen reveals that one in five consumers would consider going under the knife of a cosmetic surgeon.

  The poll, which covered 22,780 Internet users in 41 markets worldwide, also shows that the most receptive to the idea of getting cosmetic surgery work done are the Russians. Reuters has more:

  Nearly half of Russians surveyed said they would be prepared to have cosmetic surgery when they are older, followed by Greeks and people in Baltic countries.

  However, 94 percent of Hong Kongers were against having surgery to enhance their looks as were 92 percent of Indonesians and 91 percent of Japanese and Malaysians.

  Teenagers and 20 somethings were more receptive to the idea of cosmetic surgery later in life than older consumers, according to the survey.

In their 2006 statistics,
In their 2006 statistics, The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reported a 446% increase in the total number of cosmetic procedures since 1997! I work with a surgeon performing Long Beach breast enlargement, so I'm always researching numbers and what not. The same ASAPS statistics included the results of a consumer attitudes survey in which the asked, "would [you] consider cosmetic surgery for self, now or in the future?" 34 percent of women said yes, 18 percent of men.

Medical Tourism
Making the decision to have my tummy tuck and breast augmentation was a hard decision and as a model and bellydancer I highly depend on my looks for work and I could not chance anything going wrong. I knew it was something I not only wanted but I had to do because I lost 130 naturally and needed to have the final touches taken care of. The reason I chose to have my surgery in the Dominican Republic with Dr. Camillo was because she out of every Doctor who I spoke with made me feel the most comfortable. Dr Katherine was very compassionate, patient, kind and answered every one of my questions openly and honestly. If there was something she could not answer until she saw me. She said so. I sent her pictures however they only reveal so much. The four other Doctors I had seen with were located in NYC, Los Angeles, and here in New Jersey where I live and came highly recommended. I felt there was something about them that made me feel very uncomfortable and that's putting it lightly. They essentially made me feel as if I was doing them a favor. (except my sister’s doctor, however he was even more expensive and just as far away). Basically, I was very nervous because it seemed too good to be true, but once I spoke to the Doctor and realized she was a real person who really wanted to help me the decision was extremely easy and I gave my deposit.
After making the decision to go to the Dominican Republic which was very easy after talking to global medical service http://www.globalsurgerycenter.com , Leo my representative, held my hand every step of the way. And even though I had a mountain of questions, he always gave me the information I needed in a timely manner. When I arrived, someone was there to greet me, we got to the hotel (I arrived a day early to be a tourist) someone was there to greet me. I love Dhanya the patient coordinator, she literally made sure I was comfortable in my stay and had a daily itinerary for the duration of my stay. Doctors and nurses were very hospitable and welcoming (did I mention the hospital was gorgeous). I was safe, secure, and made some friends while I was there. The operation went very smoothly and I came out of the OR ahead of schedule. The first couple of days were really tough but nurses came in regularly to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. (I love pain killers). I had my mom come along with me too.
When they brought me to the resort for recuperation, everything was taken care of to a T! I also met several other recuperating patients who were delighted to have company. The food was excellent, and I even got to do a little shopping at the local souvenir shop. Bring home rum and coffee! I would recommend Global Medical Service to anyone who feels they need plastic surgery. It was the best experience I have ever had and I plan to return for a butt. ;)
Please email me at if you would like to ask me any questions. I will also be more than happy to talk to you on the phone or meet you in person if you are local.
