Personal Stories - Questions

As you know, embarking on a surgery holiday is fraught with nerves and anxieties, and most people love to read past accounts of people who have travelled with us on a surgery holiday.

We would appreciate it if you could share your story with others - simply fill out this form below which will help others to choose if they should travel on a surgery holiday. Please share your thoughts - the rough as well as the smooth - as it is important that there are honest accounts so people know what to expect.

We also would appreciate you sharing your photos with others - please mark the box below if you don't mind us posting your photos in the 'before and after' section - this is 'hidden' behind the website, and only accessible to people who have enquired. Breast and body shots will remain completely confidential, as your face will not be displayed.

We only ever use first names, but if you prefer to be anonymous, then let us know and we can change your name.
