Breast Reduction in Turkey?

I had dental implants in Budapest. Some treatment in London and some in Budapest. It took a year in total. A third of the price of the UK. It was state of the art clinics equipment and dentistry. Very impressive and my implants fingers crossed are still great after 3 years. A follow up in London yearly. So some treatment abroad goes well.

Hippie who follows you up in London? Is it a private dentist or somebody from Budapest? It sounds as though you did your research well and landed on both feet re treatment.

The company is Hungarian and is based in London and Budapest. Some work was done in London and the implants were done over 2 trips in Budapest. They look good and are white but not celebrity white. No one has ever guessed their implants and just comment on my nice smile. The journey is long and painful but being able to smile and eat anything is priceless.

They're not their. Defaulted incorrectly.

I would say do a considerable amount of research first. While I don't know anyone personally who's had that particular surgery in Turkey, I do know others who have had other procedures done very successfully (and much cheaper than in the UK). I also know several who have had dental work done in Turkey and have been delighted with the results. But again, and I can't stress this enough, do your research before you commit to anything.

My DD was told no. AND she has an additional reason for needing it, because she carries my BRCA1 gene. She can have a mastectomy and reconstruction, but she can't have a reduction. Even though the geneticist said that a reduction would massively reduce the chances of cancer.

Thank you everyone. This has been an interesting discussion.

I don't know why some posters think it's a laughing matter.

To answer the OP, I don't know anyone but did know someone who had almost a full set of dental implants done in Hungary and was very pleased with the results. I also met a woman who had a facelift in Thailand about 10 years ago - she looked great, not silly, and said the hospital was state of the art and all was well. So surgery abroad can work out but no doubt things can also go very wrong.

I suppose like everything else which you are paying out good money you need to do a lot of research and go on recommendations - maybe Mumsnet, with its much larger membership, would be a better place to enquire.

It must be your LHA - I'd encourage her to appeal and ask for a second opinion elsewhere if possible
It must be misery.

Again I agree totally with Calistemon. I cannot believe your poor daughter has been allowed to suffer for so long.

gagajo, my apologies for my initial rather flippant comments, your DD is obviously suffering and it is dreadful that the inability of the NHS to perform what is necessary surgery is forcing her to look elsewhere. Many people have idealistic views of what the NHS funding will provide, until they need it themselves. I assume your DD is looking overseas as private surgery here will be far more expensive?

My DD isn't that bothered TBH. I'm more concerned. I've had BC, I really don't want her to go through that. She has a young child.

Alas gone are the days when my friend had reconstructive surgery on her stomach after carrying twins of a large weight.
I can’t remember how big they were but her stomach was in an awful way.
That was 50 yrs ago.
