24.01.2022 Monday morning Q&A Q.I have been toying with the best time to go to Thailand for medical procedures. When is that time? A. You haven't mentioned if you mean price wise for weather wise. So I'll answer both:... PRICE WISE: I must assure you here that dental and cosmetic surgery prices do not change with the seasons, they are fixed all year round. Just because you are a medical traveler and not a resident of Thailand you don't pay any more! AND you don't pay anymore for your procedures either when you come through Medical Getaways. Many people seem to have the wrong information about pricing. (We can also always offer best possible accommodation prices through our hotel and resort partners even in the high times.) WEATHER WISE: The dry season and busiest time in Thailand is traditionally from November until April. Temperatures in January and February are pleasantly warm but then climb to scorching hot around March and April. If this has been helpful, please like, comment and share with your friends. www.medicalgetaways.com.au M: 0414 457 451

23.01.2022 Instant Boobs in Your Lunch Half Hour Anyone? Don't get too excited girls, takes a half an hour to do but only lasts 24 hours. A bit deflating, don't you think? The days of having a boob job in your lunch hour are still NOT upon us. As the old saying goes: you get what you pay for. Although at $3.000 for instant boobs you'd want them to last a bit longer than 24 hours. But as Dr Rowe explains it's only to see what you would look like should you have a breast augmentation. ... If you are thinking of having your breasts enlarged Medical Getaways is still your best option. Our prices are realistic and very affordable. Finance is also available. Contact Paulette on 0414 457 451 for your free quote.

20.01.2022 Getting Acquainted is the First Step The first step in getting to know us at Medical Getaways is to understand we thrive on hospitality. We understand the impersonal approach to trying to gain your confidence will not benefit you, or us, in the long run. We thrive on creating comforts that you will remember for a long, long time and it starts right from the very first conversation with you. We also understand that asking, or expecting you to trust us can sometimes is hard, ...or even downright unreasonable, when you don't really know who we are. That's why we will always put you in touch with someone who has had the experience before you. We will turn over backwards to help you gain first hand knowledge about the country to which you will be travelling; the treatments or procedures you will be undergoing; your surgeon; your dentist and the accredited hospital or clinic we have carefully chosen to partner with. In order for us to be able to lay claim to our level of service and knowledge we offer you, we have had to gain vast experience in numerous areas. We don't profess to know everything, but we know where to go to find the answers to all your questions. Our goal is to leave no doubt in your mind that you have made the right choice in us. - Paulette Gee - Principal Medical Getaways www.medicalgetaways.com.au Ph 1800 625 399 0414 457 451 4

17.01.2022 Weekend Chillout Video You'll love this! medicalgetaways.com.au... We're taking healthcare to new horizons Paulette 0414 457 451

16.01.2022 Saturday morning 'Chillout' Video - Enjoy! You may be amazed at your 'attention to detail skills' and then again you may be shocked to know that you haven't really got any at al! Thanks to all who provide such great videos.

16.01.2022 Monday Q&A Q. Can you shed some light on the cosmetic procedure I want to have done? It's a massive job, or at least I think it is. I can't make up my mind on what to do, ie how much to have? I hear that your surgeons will not perform something I don't need? Is that true? A. Sure, what procedure are you wanting to have? Yes, we only partner with surgeons who perform surgery that is needed. It is against their professionalism and our policy to perform surgery for the sake of it. Please call me on 0414 457 451 - Paulette

16.01.2022 Q&A It's great to get feedback from clients who are having treatment right now. This has just come in and I want to share it with you as it is the result of a successful Q&A chain earlier this year: Q. My permanent teeth went in yesterday. Delighted with the results they more than meet my expectations. Just another question, when we come back in a few months time, do you still make the appointments and all the arrangements? Or do we have to? ... A. We make all your appointments from now on and there is no cost to you whatsoever. Just tell us when you need to go back and we will arrange it all as we did this time! Happy shopping in beautiful Phuket! www.medicalgetaways.com.au M: 0414 457 451

15.01.2022 Here's the True Facts on What We Do... There seems to be some misunderstanding about the price of dental and surgical procedures overseas being cheaper if you arrange it all yourself. I'd like to clear up that misconception from our perspective. Medical Getaways passes on to you the exact quoted price that we receive back from our partnering hospitals and clinics. We then provide you with the best prices for accommodation with our partnering hotels and resorts and often ti...mes gift free nights accommodation, so you actually save money. Our clientele: those who are either too busy to do all their own arrangements (specialists appointments, surgery schedule and follow up appointments, flights and accommodation bookings) or simply want to hand it over to those who have done all the research and who communicate regularly with the health professionals and surgeons who will be performing their surgery or dental work. For that there is a well-earned fee. Another reason to use the experts is that we put our money where our mouth and offer an insurance policy that gives our clients confidence and peace of mind. Hope this clears up any misconceptions. Paulette Gee - Principal Medicalgetaways.com.au M: 0414457451

12.01.2022 Global Healthcare is Here to Stay The old saying, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, is often voiced when people finally have to admit that if they don't embrace change they may well be left behind. Medical travel is beginning to reach the ears of the astute, but there are still many who cannot embrace this new phenomenon. Let's analyse the reasons why this may still be a foreign exercise for many: - Uneducated - lack of knowledge ... - Fearful - overridding concerns for safety and security - Easily influenced - listening to negative comments - Inability to embrace change - we've never done it before Today Medical Getaways features JOINT COMMISSION INTERNATIONAL What is JCI? JCI is a US-based international accrediting organisation assessing a medical facility to make sure it meets the high international standards and requirements involved in providing medical treatment and care. Medical Getaways does not partner with any hospital that does not posses this gold standard of accreditation, and neither should you. When you choose a health care organisation that is JCI accredited, you know you are receiving care from a leading practice organisation. Here are five major reasons to select a JCI-accredited facility. They have all demonstrated: A deep commitment to high-quality care A culture of safety for patients, visitors, and staff A willingness to undergo rigorous preparation and a survey Care delivery based on leading, evidence-based practices Leadership in continuous compliance with exacting standards http://www.jointcommission.org/ Education is your number one security. Know where you are going! - Paulette Gee Principal, Medical Getaways www.medicalgetaways.com.au ph:1800 625 399 0414 457 451

12.01.2022 Your Face of the Future When we reach a certain age we tend to want to hide in turtle necks and scarfs in the winter and blouses and shirts in summer with high collars in order to hide the part that may be giving us away: our necks. For many a mature woman the days of V-necks and low, scooped out necklines are a distant memory. A busy lifestyle can be the culprit when it comes to skipping your beauty regime morning and evening. Most young women, and not so young women, I spea...Continue reading

11.01.2022 Smoking and Cosmetic Surgery Making sure patients go off certain medications before surgery is one thing, but tell them they need to stop smoking! Now that is a far more difficult thing for them to agree to do. Come on girls! We need to understand the reason why smoking and cosmetic surgery just don't go together. Apart from the risk of lung cancer and downright unfitness along with a muddy wrinkled complexion, you will run the risk of your dermis - the lower layer of your ...skin - not healing well. "Smoking worsens the tears made in your dermis (lower layer of you skin) by interfering with microscopic healing processes and depleting the short-lived gas nitricoxide that preserves the elasticity of our skin. That's why smokers get wrinkles around their lips, although the inflammation in arteries that cigarettes cause also contributes to this wrinkling," says Dr Oz.. So, it's very clearer that the two don't mix. I'll repeat here: Smoking delays wound healing! QUIT NOW: It's important to quit smoking as soon as possible BEFORE surgery. Why? Again: Smoking delays wound healing. Smoking constricts blood vessels, which decreases blood flow to the wound. Without proper blood flow, the incision cannot heal properly. The carbon monoxide in cigarettes decreases the ability of oxygen in the blood to get to the wound. This also contributes to the delay in wound healing. Can't say it any clearer than that! As an ex smoker, I have some advice for you. Don't be afraid to ask me for help. Our surgeons can help with this too, but you must not only rely on them to be a magical cure. You have to put in the effort too. Contact me, I am very approachable regarding our 'bad' habits! Paulette Gee medicalgetaways.com.au M: 0414 457 451

10.01.2022 COULD THIS PROCEDURE BE FOR YOU? It all depends on the condition of your teeth. Some people can keep their natural teeth if they are still strong and in good condition. But if they are wobbly then obviously they won't be strong enough. Your dentist may suggest you have them extracted. All on 4 and All on 6 are available at our partnering Joint Commission International accredited hospital. If you need major dental work it may pay you to find out about this procedure. ...

10.01.2022 Q. Will I have a lot of pain after my breast lift and augmentation? A. The sensations you will feel will be more discomfort than actual pain. Pain management is a priority and is monitored very closely. I will be hearing from one of our clients who had her BA and lift yesterday. So why don't I let her tell us what she is experiencing. Back soon.

09.01.2022 'Like' this if you think we all need a confidence boost from time to time. How we look on the outside may not reflect how we feel on the inside. However, we do have to be careful though as how we see ourselves may be a distorted reality. We have actually helped people to see themselves in a new light without any treatments whatsoever. Others we have helped with small enhancements. Here are the questions:... Is genuinely caring how you look, all vanity? Is it important to maintain/restore our appearances? If one decides to have cosmetic surgery or cosmetic dentistry, when do you think that should be? Love to hear your take on this. Write us a comment and tell us what your confidence boost would be. www.medicalgetaways.com.au M: 0414 457 451

06.01.2022 CAN YOU SPOT THE ALIGNMENT MIRACLE? Photo number 1: the upper teeth are not aligned with the lower teeth. Photos number 2: the upper and lower teeth are perfectly aligned! ... Amazing!

She is so excited about her new smile that she is going back next year for more. "I couldn't believe my sister's teeth after she came back from having her dental work so I was quick to book in with you also. So pleased I did!"

05.01.2022 Heads UP Jetstar Travelers Jetstar is clamping down on the weight of your carry on luggage. They're reducing the amount from 10 kilos to 7 kilos. We can thank those who carry on much for than the limit for this decision. If your carry on luggage weighs more than the regulated 7 kilos from now on you will be paying $50 for domestic and $160 for international flights. Remember our recent story 'Are You Carrying On?' It may be time to rethink the type of luggage you use in the first place.

05.01.2022 A Clever Tip Recently a client stumbled on a very clever tip: Most people will hid behind their long - or longer - hair after having facial surgery hoping that no one will notice. While we want people to tell us how great we are looking lately and then ask us what our secret is, we may not feel ready to tell them. ... Shouting yourself a total makeover with a new hair style and colour can completely throw people off track. They think that it is your new style that has given you such a youthful appearance. Note how the short styles below give great definition to the chin and jawline as opposed to long hair. Try it, it works. See more

04.01.2022 It's a Big World, We Can't Know Everything... Plastic Surgery or Cosmetic Surgery, What's the Difference? Plastic surgery is a medical specialty concerned with the "correction" or restoration of form and function. Plastic surgery is not necessarily cosmetic, it includes many types of reconstructive surgery, Craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, and the treatment of burns. ... Plastic: To Mold or Give Form Despite the popular misconception, the word "plastic" in "plastic surgery" does not mean "artificial," but is derived from the ancient Greek work "plastikos," which means to mold or give form. Plastic surgery includes both the reconstructive and aesthetic subspecialties. Cosmetic surgery, by contrast, is performed on normal, healthy body parts to improve their appearance. People have cosmetic surgery to improve the way they look, based on their own ideals of beauty. For instance, a 65-year-old woman may have a normal face for her age, but she may want to tighten the skin and muscles by having a facelift.
