Army Wife Wins A Foreign Tummy Tuck Lottery

By: psi_main

Marketing ploys for cosmetic surgery are as popular as ever, drawing the fancies and whetting the hopes of women more than men.

Tina Watson was no exception to this trend and her tendency to put down her name for contests and promotions finally paid off. An army wife, Tina had been yearning for a tummy tuck for 14 years and an online promotion brought her dreams to fruition.

The 32-year-old is just one of the many examples of plastic surgery tourism that is experiencing an all-time high given the recent economic status of the USD. The British are one of the cosmetic surgery hopefuls setting their sights on less expensive healthcare and cosmetic procedures available in countries like Hungary, Brazil and even the U.S.

Tina Watson, a resident of Haverfordwest in Wales, did not have to pay for her tummy tuck surgery though. Her tummy tuck procedure was performed in Tunisia with all her expenses cared for.

Tunisia, situated in North Africa, is one of the vacation countries (Thailand, India, etc.) that have emerged as major attractions for cosmetic surgery tourism. While there may be exceptional surgeons performing the operations, plastic surgeons warn that countries like these may not always be equipped to offer the latest in healthcare that Westerners are used to.

Always get an opinion from a medical expert who has no vested interests in your tummy tuck or health decisions. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California always advises candidates to consider what their physicians or GPs have to say regardless of our unbiased consultations.

  • How to Heal Fibroids - Eliminate Fibroids Naturally By: Bernadette Hopkins - A couple of years ago, I desperately wanted to know how to heal fibroids as I had been suffering from unbearable symptoms for some time. My uterus was the size of a seven month pregnancy and I was constantly breathless and severely anemic. I felt constantly tired and bloated and, quite frankly, looked awful. I was eventually referred to a gynecologist who immediately diagnosed fibroids. A scan revealed that one fibroid was the size of a small melon and I had several the size of oranges.
  • Natural Ways to Dissolve Fibroids - Shrink Fibroids Naturally By: Bernadette Hopkins - There are natural ways to dissolve fibroids by using a combination of different treatments. However, this information is not readily available from conventional medical doctors as no two treatments are exactly the same and will depend on your own individual circumstances. In addition, as surgery or drug treatment is not involved, you cannot simply walk out if your doctor's office with a prescription or hospital appointment! When I first began to suffer from bloating, heavy periods and a multitude of other symptoms, I had no idea I had fibroids.
  • Home Remedies For Fibroids - Shrink Fibroids Naturally By: Bernadette Hopkins - Home remedies for fibroids can work particularly well if followed correctly. The very nature of fibroids means that conventional treatments are simply not usually the best course of action. Indeed, many doctors advocate leaving fibroids well alone as they will shrink naturally around the time of the menopause. Fibroids are very rarely life threatening or in any way considered dangerous and some would see it as an easy option for doctors when they recommend taking no action to treat them.
  • Alternative Fibroid Tumor Treatments - How to Shrink Fibroids Naturally By: Bernadette Hopkins - Alternative fibroid tumor treatments are not for those women who are seeking a quick-fix method of shrinking fibroids. Indeed, there is no such thing. Many doctors advocate leaving fibroids alone until the menopause as the natural reduction in estrogen will help them to shrink to a more bearable size. The reason for this is that fibroids are very difficult to treat conventionally as they are not caused by a bacteria, disease or virus and therefore cannot be treated successfully by conventional medication due to their very nature.

  • Natural Way to Dissolve Uterine Fibroids - Shrink Fibroids Naturally By: Bernadette Hopkins - There is a natural way to dissolve uterine fibroids and for many women, this is the preferred option rather than surgery. It is vital to understand that fibroids are not caused by a disease, virus or bacteria and because of this they are difficult to treat using conventional means. Rather than having one specific cause, fibroids generally occur due to the subtle interaction of a number of conditions occurring in a woman's body which cause fibroid growth. In isolation, these conditions would be unlikely to cause fibroids but brought together, give the ideal conditions for the condition.
  • Natural Treatment For BV - Treat Bacterial Vaginosis By: Mary Hopkinson - Natural treatment for BV often consists of a combination of treatments which support the body's own ability to heal itself whilst strengthening the immune system. This is a much better option than using antibiotics which work by killing off all bacteria within the vagina, both beneficial and bad, meaning that there are no defenses left to fight any subsequent attacks for some time. Indeed, over half of all women treated with antibiotics will have a repeat attack within a few weeks. Bacterial vaginosis occurs when the balance of bacteria within the vagina becomes disturbed.
  • Herbal Remedy For Bacterial Vaginosis-Treat BV Naturally By: Mary Hopkinson - A herbal remedy for bacterial vaginosis is just one of several alternative treatments for bacterial vaginosis. Bacterial vaginosis is caused by an imbalance of bacteria within the vagina. Under normal circumstances, there are two types of bacteria present with a woman's vagina-"good" and "bad". Usually, they can co-exist, with the good bacteria keeping the bad bacteria under control.
  • Bacterial Vaginosis Natural Treatment By: Mary Hopkinson - Bacterial vaginosis natural treatment is so straightforward and makes complete sense that I often wonder why it took me so long to realize it! I mean, I'm not stupid. Going to the doctor just seemed like the right thing to do...at the time! When I got bacterial vaginosis I didn't know what had hit me. At first I thought I had a urinary infection as I found it painful to urinate. It was only when I realized that I had this really bad smell and nasty discharge that I knew it was something else.
