Beauty in Prague – Cosmetic Surgery Abroad Statistics 2008
Prague, Czech Republic (PRWEB) March 14, 2009
Beauty in Prague is excited to announce its cosmetic surgery statistics for 2008. From the UK to Ireland, Beauty in Prague has been providing cosmetic surgery procedures for very affordable prices (http://www.beautyinprague.com/).
In 2008, there were a little over 250 confirmed bookings for various packages to Prague by individuals from other countries. These individuals embarked upon cosmetic surgery holidays. Compared to 2007, the demand for cosmetic surgery increased 20 per cent in 2008. The favourite cosmetic surgeries of clients from the UK traveling for cosmetic surgery abroad were breast augmentation, tummy tucks, facelifts, and liposuction.
According to cosmetic surgery statistics, those patients consisted of 70 per cent women and 30 per cent men. Such procedures as tummy tucks were up 38 per cent at £2,209 for each procedure. This is compared to the British price of £6,000.
Beauty in Prague also saw a 40 per cent increase in male breast reduction amongst British clients. All in all, Britons spent £100 million on cosmetic surgery holidays in Prague. This Czech Republic city has become a very popular destination for medical tourism trips.
Furthermore, the Times Online states that as plastic surgery grows in popularity, Britons will continue to choose cosmetic surgery abroad in order to secure low plastic surgery prices. As it stands, approximately 30,000 patients travel each year to receive treatment on medical tourism vacations. A third of these individuals are on cosmetic surgery holidays. The £100 million amount is only two-thirds less than what Britons are spending in their own country.
But Britons are not only choosing cosmetic surgery abroad because of the low prices, but they are doing so because of the high standards that are used and the efficiency of cosmetic surgery clinics in Prague. Nearly 40 per cent of the Britons seeking cosmetic surgery in Prague state that they do so because they are worried about hospital infections in Briton. However, 93 per cent have stated satisfaction with the surgery they received and would recommend cosmetic surgery abroad to their family members and friends in one of the three top cosmetic surgery abroad destinations. Those destinations are Spain, Belgium, and the Czech Republic.
In regards to Beauty in Prague, Jane from the UK States, “In my opinion Beauty in Prague is the best place to come to if you are considering cosmetic surgery abroad, especially for a single person travelling alone. Every need is catered for; there is no need to feel nervous you will feel secure, so I would definitely recommend Beauty in Prague not just for everyone but especially for a single person travelling on their own.”
Alan, also from the UK agrees, stating “I am pleased that I had the facelift, it’s so nice to look in the mirror and see a younger version of me and it makes me feel so much better about myself. So my thanks go out to Beauty in Prague and all the staff at the clinic.”
The statistics speak for themselves that a growing number of individuals are choosing Prague as their cosmetic surgery holiday destination.

The right place to get California Health Insurance Quotes
Even for the healthiest person, it is not safe to avoid taking a health insurance. Sure, people can look after their health through myriad things like a good diet, exercises, good sleep, and posture. While these do help to maintain one’s health, the fact remains that nobody has immunity from accidents, infections, and some diseases even the reasons for which have still to be unraveled by the medical science.
The State of California Health Insurance requirements are as big as the state. The state’s Department of Health Care Services itself promotes several health care services. There are other private physicians and clinics operating all across the state. The facilities available with these different health care providers, and accordingly their charges, vary a lot. As such, getting the right California Health Insurance Quotes is a prime requirement for most residents of California.
While health care is expensive pretty much all over the world, in United States medical charges are exceptionally high. So much so that the situation has given rise to what is known as medical tourism. People find it easier to cross the national borders to go across to Mexico or Costa Rica to get a tooth extracted or a root canal done. In the background of such a scenario, as in the case of the residents of the rest of the country, awareness of medical insurance is important for the residents of California also. To compare and contrast the different California Health Insurance rates, one has to first of all get all California Health Insurance Quotes.
What has given rise to medical tourism is the availability of cheap medical care of excellent quality in developing countries. For those who do not have medical insurance, even with the traveling costs, and expenses for staying at a motel for a day or two, it works out cheaper than getting it locally done. In these developing countries where people from richer countries go searching for medical aid, transportation and lodging also are quite inexpensive. So it is an ideal solution to turn medical problems like dental care into a holiday package, by going to Panama for a weekend, together with one’s family. However, this may not work for everyone money-wise, time-wise, and situation-wise. A more practical solution for them will be finding cheap California Health Insurance rates with the help of California Health Insurance Quotes, so far as they are residents of California.
In the state of California the state department of insurance is in control of California health insurance rates. This essentially translates into the truth that California Health Insurance rates are quite cheap compared to other states. By getting all California Health Insurance Quotes people can compare and select the best from among these cheap rates.
