What are the risks of getting surgery abroad?
IT'S important to do your research if you're thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad.
It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks.
Safety standards in different countries may not be as high.
No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad.
If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment.
Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK.
Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems.

As the beauty lover had already had composite bonding done with the company a year before, she ''didn't pay the full price''.
The stunner has been candid about her epic makeover on TikTok, regularly sharing snaps of herself before and after the treatments.
Fierce debate
While Rebecca loves her expensive makeover - and is now considering getting her thighs done to remove the excess skin following the weight loss - social media users have been left divided.
Many, like the mum, was gobsmacked by the transformation.
'I don't usually like these posts but you really are looking outstanding!!' one fan recently said.
'MY JAWS BEEN ON THE FLOOR FOR 10 MINS! Beautiful before AND after,'' another chimed in.
But there have also been plenty of those who reckoned the stunner already had ''amazing teeth'' prior to the dental makeover and she had made ''a huge mistake''.
''OMG you had the most beautiful teeth,'' thought one critic.
Another agreed, commenting: ''Your teeth were perfect, but whatever you like.''
''I thought the beginning was the after already. Whhyyyyyy did you do it,'' someone else chimed in.
