Me talking about having surgery abroad isn't about judgment – it's about keeping you safe. I've seen firsthand what can go wrong, and I care too much about the topic, not to say something.
I've sat with women who've returned from surgery overseas confused about what was actually done, unable to reach their surgical team, and managing complications that could have been avoided. It's not good enough. So before you book that flight, please make sure these are in place:
🩺 Full pre- and post-op assessments with qualified professionals
📖 Clear, honest information about your procedure with no surprises
🚫 No 'stacking' of multiple surgeries in one sitting
👨⚕️ A skilled, reputable surgical team you can actually speak to
✈️ Time to recover before flying. Blood clots are a very real risk
🆘 Access to proper aftercare if anything goes wrong
The guidance from is clear, speak to a UK-based surgeon before committing to anything abroad 🇬🇧 So if you're considering surgery and want an honest conversation about options, feel free to reach out. Send me a DM.
