Kiwi woman loses more than half her body after six Extreme Makeover surgeries

June 18, 2010 - PRLog -- After losing 108kg from gastric bypass surgery, 50-year-old Bernadette Hoeberechts knew she was going to need plastic surgery.

With large amounts of loose skin, she found it difficult even to find clothes to cover her body. ‘I also felt my droopy skin made me a lot older.’

Her decision for surgery abroad was purely based on price. For the cost of all her six surgeries in Malaysia, including flights and accommodation, Bernadette says she could only afford two surgeries at home. She is very thankful that she took this recommendation from a friend in her gastric bypass group.

‘It is the best money I’ve ever spent,’ she says.

For her makeover, Bernadette chose to travel with Gorgeous Getaways, a leading Australian surgery operator. Gorgeous Getaways is founded by Louise Cogan in January 2004, and has had over 2,000 surgery clients in the past 6 years. The demand is still rising around 200% a year.

The 3 reasons why surgery holidays are becoming more popular:
1. Price – treatments are up to 75% cheaper than at home: Read comparison prices here: http://www.gorgeousgetaways.com/about/price-comparisons.html
2. Service – patients receive post surgery care, attention and treatments
3. Quality – all surgeries are performed in accredited private hospitals by the leading plastic surgeons.

‘The phenomenal popularity proves that people are looking for an affordable alternative to plastic surgery, combined with the chance to have a luxurious tropical holiday as well,’ says Louise Cogan.
