Cutting edge tourism: bargain facelifts abroad

WOMEN who want to look younger for longer can save a staggering 70% on a facelift — if they are prepared to travel for their surgery.

Prices for popular operations like breast enlargement and nose jobs are on average two-thirds cheaper in Poland and Tunisia than in Dublin, a poll found.

The survey was carried out by the Consumers’ Association of Ireland (CAI), which said plastic surgery was becoming increasingly popular among the Irish thanks to the Celtic Tiger, television shows and affordability.
