COST...

[costly]

Just new to here. I'd like to ask why the surgery is so ridiculously expensive. £5k per breast isn't it? What a rip off! Does anyone know of costs outside the UK? The NHS here have stopped doing so we have a bit of a monopoly going on here. Sorry, but I really don't want to fund the doc's kensington flat...

Plenty of options in Europe and for those UK costs you can even go to the US/Canada for a lower cost.
France

Poland has a lot of reports on here.
Korea would be cheaper! ~$2000-3000  My personal favorite.

Why do you recommend Korea as your personal favourite? Is that where you had your surgery? How was the overall experience?

Have not had it in Korea, mostly based on research as to cost, technique (tissue shaver through nipple so minimum incision) and before/after on the site.

There is at least one person who had it done in Korea on this site he has a detailed review  but at a different clinic.

It's not 5k per breast, it's 5k for both
