Testimonials
We take surgery very seriously and believe it is not something that should be taken lightly. We believe it is prudent for us to help clients make an informed choice without any pressure at all. Clients feedback, at the end of their surgery and healthcare holiday, is vital to us. It also helps perspective clients within the decision making process. As such, the views and experiences of previous clients expressed on this page is genuine independent feedback.
We can also, upon request, put you in contact with past clients for you to discuss with them their experiences of Kuala Lumpur, Hospital, Surgeon, Hotel and the like.

Name: Vicki
Operation: Breast Re-Augmentation and Liposuction to Full Abdomen, Inner/Outer Thighs and Submental (Neck/Chin)
Why did you choose to have your cosmetic surgery abroad?
I chose abroad because the price made it more affordable and it seemed that there was less risk of hospital infection, namely, MRSA.
Why did you choose Body Beautiful to make those arrangements for you?
I looked on the internet and compared sites. Body Beautiful’s site seemed the most straight forward and understandable with nothing hidden or complicated. Also I contacted a previous client of Body Beautiful and she recommended Body Beautiful 100%.

Carla - Rhytidectomy and Upper & Lower Bleparoplasty
Name: Carla
Operation: Rhytidectomy and Upper & Lower Bleparoplasty
Why did you choose to have your cosmetic surgery abroad?
Fundamentally the cost. I Could not believe the value for money.
Why did you choose Body Beautiful to make those arrangements for you?
I saw a documentary on the television which helped me to make up my mind. One of the hardest parts of the decision was worrying about in whom to put your trust!
How did we handle the arrangements for you in the UK?
Wonderfully! I felt like the weight had been lifted from my shoulders.
How did you find your Consultant Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr. Soma?
He was absolutely charming, completely honest, pulled no punches and made sure that my expectations were realistic.
What was your opinion of the hospital, Subang Jaya Medical Centre?
It was incredible. I did feel guilty at times as I was whisked through the line of other people waiting. The staff, especially, the nurses made me feel that I was really important, and I needed that. Their care was exquisite.
As it is now a few months since your surgery, are you happy with the outcome of your surgery?
Yes. I am quite happy to look in the mirror now whereas before the operation my confidence was flagging and I flinched every time I caught a glimpse of myself looking tired and jaded even when I wasn’t. There is still some way to go, but so far so good!
How did you find your accommodation and the facilities at The Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel & Spa?
We could not believe how beautiful the hotel and spa was. It is the best hotel we have ever had the pleasure at which to stay.

Did we meet your expectations?
Yes. It was one of the best holidays we have ever had. Once you have had surgery and some rest, Kuala Lumpur is your oyster.

Steve - Liposuction to Chest and Abdomen
Name: Steve
Operation: Liposuction to Chest and Abdomen
Why did you choose to have your cosmetic surgery abroad?
Initially, because of cost. It's thousands of pounds cheaper. However, then I became concerned about the growing health risks in British hospitals. Knowing that I'd have open wounds, I felt safer having surgery abroad than in a UK hospital in which I'd no doubt - and I've seen this at first hand - be susceptible to MRSA etc.
Why did you choose Body Beautiful to make those arrangements for you?
The fact that Body Beautiful is a British-based company was very important. With that, there was a sense of knowing it wouldn't be all hype and talk and no action. From first visit to the website, it was clear that Body Beautiful is an expert provider of surgery holidays. There was never and never has been any attempt to conceal information or hide stuff from us. Everything we wanted to know was either on the site or answered by Paul at the other end of an email. This personal service was exceptional, and was incredibly reassuring. Also, the media element was vital - the documentaries and magazine cuttings were, to me, proof that there was nothing 'dodgy' or questionable about Body Beautiful, as you may usually be concerned with 'internet businesses'. They're an open book, and witnessing the BBC visit the hospital and undergo the procedure was the clincher to the deal. Not only that, but I was also given the surgeon's CV, which matched and even bettered that of a UK-based surgeon at a leading Harley Street cosmetic surgery provider.
How did we handle the arrangements for you in the UK?
Perfectly. It was easier than booking a normal holiday. The flights were found and offered to us, every single question was answered swiftly, concisely and accurately, and there was no pressure to pay any fees for consultations etc.
How did you find your Consultant Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr. Soma?
An absolute diamond. One of the most calm, reassuring, knowledgeable people I think I've ever met. As soon as you speak to him, you get the impression that your surgery actually matters. You're not just 'another patient', you're an individual whom he wants to help improve confidence, or whatever your particular goal is. He was warm, friendly, and highly amusing. And clearly an expert, of that there was no question.
How did you find the hospital, Subang Jaya Medical Centre?
Excellent. Cleaner than any British hospital by miles. The nursing staff, admin staff and everyone there was amazing to us. You got the impression that these were nurses who wouldn't be complaining of low wages, long hours, no breaks etc, but instead are simply happy to be nursing people to health and helping people. It was so refreshing and brilliant to see. Every need was taken care of. Nothing was too much trouble.
Appreciating it is approximately less than 2 weeks since your surgery, and there is still a lot of healing left to do, are you happy with the outcome of your surgery?
I am very happy. I actually wish I had had Gynaecomastia surgery at the same time, as I was told the exact results to expect from liposuction. I have got rid of the fatty deposits I was desperate to, and at my initial consultation Dr Soma was so honest and told me I wouldn't lose my belly (I'd need a tummy tuck) and I couldn't lose my breast tissue. So I knew what to expect and the results are brilliant. The wounds have healed already, and there are no scars! Tiny holes that are barely visible. I can't wait to come back for more!
How did you find your accommodation and the facilities at The Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel & Spa?
Superb. This must be one of THE nicest hotels I've ever stayed in. It's what you would call posh in England, but without the kind of feeling that people were looking down their noses at you. Every single member of staff was so incredibly polite. It's almost like we were celebrities. The food was simply outstanding, and the water park, swimming pools, mall etc were amazing - it's just a shame I couldn't swim after surgery. Of course, it's also ideally located for the hospital and Dr Soma's clinic.
How did you find Malaysia as destination?
Good. The hotel is some distance from Kuala Lumpur City Centre, but in a taxi it cost just £5 to get there. We didn't get chance to explore nearly as much as we would have liked in two weeks.
Our staff on the ground in Malaysia are very important to us, how did you find them?
Our representative was one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. She was so warm, friendly, amiable, personable and chatty. She explained everything so perfectly, and any questions we had were always answered. It was like having a PA - she was there for us 24 hours a day, and as she's been through it all before with clients, she can tell you exactly how things will wok and what will happen. She's a beautiful, kind person, and we're really pleased to have got to know her. She even took us out for dinner! Chandaran (sorry, don't know the spelling), our driver, was also a fantastic man.
Would you recommend Body Beautiful and, if so, why?
Yes, I already have! I wouldn't be surprised if Body Beautiful is inundated with requests now! I'm already planning to return for my next surgery, and seeing as I work as a journalist, I will likely publish my next trip in a magazine, or potentially TV, depending on equipment etc. I'd like nothing more than to spread the word about Body Beautiful, as I'm over the moon with the whole experience from start to finish. There are many life changing experiences you can have in your life, and this was one of them for me. I'd encourage anyone who isn't happy with a certain aspect of their appearance to take advantage of Body Beautiful's obvious expertise to change their life for the better.
Did we meet your expectations?
You went way beyond my expectations. I cannot commend you enough.

Alex - Upper/Lower Eyelids, Face and Neck Lift, Liposuction to Neck/Chin
Name: Alex
Operation: Upper/Lower Eyelids, Face and Neck Lift, Liposuction to Neck/Chin
Why did you choose to have cosmetic surgery overseas?
I was originally supporting my wife for this – as no one in the UK would consider her as she has asthma and is on steroids.
Why did you choose Body Beautiful to make those arrangements for you?
See above. Also Body Beautiful were the only people to consider my wife, but to me they were asking all the right questions about her condition and medication that she was currently on.
How did we handle the arrangements for you in the UK?
Everything seemed ok, although in hindsight had to have blood tests again plus x-rays, as told after 3 month tests in the UK are out of date…these should have been carried out within a 3 month period. (BB - The blood tests in the UK were undertaken at that time so as to ensure there was no medical reason to prevent surgery from taking place and done at that time so as to facilitate arrangements i.e. booking of flights so as to avoid disappointment. The Consultant felt it prudent and good practice to repeat them)
How did you find your Consultant Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr Soma?
Very helpful, very informative and always holds safety above clients requirements.
Appreciating it is only a week or so since your surgery, and there is still a lot of healing left to do, are you happy with the outcome of your surgery?
Yes very happy.

No regrets, very happy with everything.
Why did you choose Body Beautiful to make those arrangements for you?
After enquiring to various companies, Body Beautiful had by far the best package.
How did we handle the arrangements for you in the UK?
Very good except one thing, it was said in the paper work that if you require anything being done after the procedure then you will have to pay, when it should have worded, if you require anything anytime being done you will have to pay, i.e. ECG, blood test, chest X-ray (BB - The packages are fully inclusive however, occasionally, the Consultant or Anaesthetist may require further specific tests. The cost of these additional tests are negligible and the costs of which are advised in advance of travel in case this arises).

1st class. A true professional gentleman.

Why did you choose to have cosmetic surgery abroad?
Mainly because the cost abroad are so much lower and also I thought it would be great to relax and recuperate in a sunny destination.
Why did you choose Body Beautiful to make these arrangements for you?
I did a Google search for a Buccal Fat Removal and Body Beautiful were one of the first websites that appeared. This procedure is very uncommon in the UK and noting this was a UK website, I was intrigued and had a look. After thoroughly reading every single page I was so impressed with the company and the service they provided that I new that Body Beautiful was the company for me. Then I immediately sent an email and Paul replied quickly answering all my questions.

Appreciating it is only a week or so since your surgery, and there is still a lot of healing left to do, are you happy with the outcome of your surgery?

The resort is out of this world! Gorgeous, comfy, spacious rooms, helpful friendly staff who wouldn’t do enough for you and the breakfast was delicious considering it was a buffet, the food was still very good quality. I had a beautiful view of the park and the shopping mall was only a five-minute walk.
How did you find Malaysia as a destination?
Beautiful! Friendly, courteous people. Lots of shopping malls, cheap food and drinks. What more could you ask for? Actually probably better weather as it was the rainy season but I did spend a lot of time in my room resting so it didn’t matter too much. It was still lovely and warm though.

Yes the hotel is beautiful and staff are helpful and friendly. My surgery went without a hitch and the hospital staff were very good, but I loved the fact I could rest in fab surroundings and not worry about my family – plus obviously the cost factor.
Did we meet your expectations?
Yes without a doubt and I will recommend without hesitation to my friends.

Nicky - Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Name: Nicky
Operation: Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Why did you choose to have your cosmetic surgery abroad?
The price – it was more economical abroad.
Why did you chose Body Beautiful to make those arrangements for you?
I was very impressed by the service they offered, the knowledge and competence of the company and the expertise of the surgeons. I felt the package was ‘too good to be true’, which naturally rings alarm bells – but all my fears and questions were allayed/answered on the phone or in person by Paul.
How did we handle the arrangements for you in the UK?
Superbly! Blood tests done quickly and efficiently. Very pleased to have spoken to Dr Soma and previous patients.
How did you find your Consultant Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr. Soma and the nursing care at SJMC?
I think in retrospect we all can be guilty of a ‘fear of the foreign’. I hadn’t realised this before I went but ended up asking questions like "What’s the level of hygiene, do they speak English?". Now I realise that it is insulting! The level of care was EXCELLENT, the nurses marvelous and Dr Soma – a dream!
Appreciating it is only a week or so since your surgery, and there is still a lot of healing left to do, are you happy with the outcome of your surgery?
VERY!
How did you find your accommodation and the facilities at The Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel & Spa (Main Tower & Villas)?
I thought the accommodation at the Main Tower was comfortable, the food great and the facilities rated highly too. The villas were ‘out of this world’ – a bit of heaven. I thoroughly enjoyed staying there.
How did you find Malaysia as a destination?
So lovely that I want to return next year!
Our staff on the ground in Malaysia are very important to us, how did you find them?
What can I say?! Great idea to have some English faces to meet & greet! They made me most welcome. There really are no complaints.
Would you recommend Body Beautiful and, if so, why?
OF COURSE I WOULD AND AM DOING SO TO EVERYONE I MEET!! (I'd be surprised if you haven’t had a few phone calls already!)
Did we meet your expectations?
Yes - and beyond! X X X X

Angela - Mastopexy with Breast Augmentation
Name: Angela
Operation: Mastopexy with Breast Augmentation
Why did you choose Body Beautiful?
I read about Body Beautiful in a magazine and, as such, made an initial enquiry. I had been looking around at different countries for my surgery and, when I received the package, it was extremely competitive compared to the rest. All my questions were answered quickly and, generally, my e-mails were answered within 24 hours. All of the arrangements were hassle free and the staff were so helpful.
What about the information that you received?
I sent lots of e-mails and everything was answered fully. I received enough information to make an informed choice and, at no stage, did I feel pressurised.
How did you find your Consultant Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr. Nasir?
Dr Nasir was very approachable, knowledgeable and professional. I felt extremely confident in him. He had a sense of humour that made me immediately feel at ease. I was given a full and thorough explanation of the procedure and what, exactly, he was going to do. Dr. Nasir spoke excellent English and communication was not a problem. Before I travelled, he was able to give me a diagnosis from my pictures which was extremely comprehensive and, indeed, he picked up upon a number of things that other Surgeons I had personally seen didn't.
So what about the results, 10 days on from surgery?
I am very pleased. I just wanted my breasts lifted and to be pert but, with the augmentation, it has given them a great consistency and shape and made me look symmetrical and in proportion.
How did you find Malaysia?
Beautiful. A real experience. It was a lovely environment to recuperate and so peaceful. There was lots to do and the people were so friendly and kind.
What about the hotel?
Lovely. The hotel was in such a good location for everything. The staff were so obliging and couldn't do enough for you. The room was very nice and the hotel had great facilities with a lovely swimming pool. It had everything that you needed.
How were the Body Beautiful staff in resort?
Our representative was very helpful, supportive and approachable. He certainly went far beyond the cause of duty and nothing was too much trouble. All the little extra touches were so appreciated and a lovely gesture. I always felt that he was available and there if there was a problem.
Would you recommend Body Beautiful?
Yes definitely and without a doubt. So much so that I am coming back for further surgery.

So, why did you choose Malaysia for your Surgery?
To be honest, I was thinking about having the surgery at home and also having my annual holiday in the Far East. It just made sense to combine both and save a considerable amount of money. I made a number of enquiries and Body Beautiful responded first and I was very impressed by the way in which my enquiry was dealt with and the information that I received. I got a good feeling about everything.

How did you find Malaysia generally?
Malaysia was a fabulous country – Kuala Lumpur is a cool city with superb hotels, amazing weather and fantastic for shopping
How did you find your accommodation?

Chee - Abdominoplasty and Liposuction
Name: Chee
Operation: Abdominoplasty and Liposuction
Why did you choose to have your cosmetic surgery abroad?
Because it is cheaper than UK and I can incorporate a holiday as well. As the surgery is abroad, you can actually rest be pampered hence aiding the healing process.
Why did you choose Body Beautiful to make those arrangements for you?
Body Beautiful contacted me within a couple of hours after I had emailed them with my enquiry. Paul spent a great deal of time answering my questions about the company, the surgical operations, the hospitals in Malaysia, the experience of the cosmetic surgeons. I felt BB had time to listen and answer all my questions.
How did we handle the arrangements for you in the UK?
It was handled very well, all emails were answered within 3-6 hours on receipt and I was kept informed of all arrangements. They have an open-door policy whereby I can ring them anytime with any questions.
How did you find your Consultant Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr. Nasir?
Throughly nice gentleman, excellent bedside manner, explains everything, ie procedures, complications and always asks if you have any questions, even when you are in the theatre prior to being put to sleep. Visits every morning, again explains everything. Always felt that he had time for you and that he is not in a rush to go somewhere else. Very humble, not arrogant at all and even gets off his chair and comes across the room to shake your hands when you visit him in the clinic. Again he will advise you post operative before you fly back to UK and is happy to receive any emails.
Because I flew to Penang 4 days post operatively, he was happy to give me contacts of cosmetic surgeons (his friends) in Penang should I require one. Needless to say I did not require one! A genuine caring Dr who has time for his patients!
Appreciating it is only approximately 6 weeks or so since your surgery, and there is still a lot of healing left to do, are you happy with the outcome of your surgery?
Very happy, even immediately after the surgery. I expressed my fears of keloid scaring to Dr Nasir pre operatively and to my surprise there is no sign of keloid at all. The scar is healing beautifully and is so much better than my previous caesarean scar (operated in UK) which was keloid. I had lipo on my flanks, thighs and buttocks and Dr Nasir did an excellent job of it, my buttocks are now uplifted and thighs are beautifully slim. I am amazed at the results, so is my husband!
How did you find Malaysia as destination?
Hot and sunny, relaxing, excellent food and shopping. Very enjoyble but please bear in mind that the main objective of going to Malaysia was to have surgery therefore rest, let the healing begin as I know that when I return to UK, there is very little chance of a good rest. Shopping/sightseeing can wait or can be done in very small doses.
Our staff on the ground in Malaysia are very important to us, how did you find them?
Courteous, kind and informative. When they visited, they even brought drinks, fruits and biscuits. I am sure this is not in their job description.
Would you recommend Body Beautiful and, if so, why?
Definately, as you can imagine, it is very difficult to make a decision to have cosmetic surgery overseas, more so via the internet as you do not know whether you are dealing with a 'micky mouse' company or not or perhaps you may even lose your hard saved cash! I spent a lot of hours on the internet researching for the best company I can trust especially after hearing disaster stories, and after speaking initially to Paul and Kelly, I knew that Body Beautiful is my first choice because:
Response to emails is almost immediateBritish base company therefore you can have a telephone conversation without worrying about overseas phonecalls.
CV of Cosmetic surgeons impressive and you can actually ring the Dr and speak to him personally(I did this and found it to be invaluable, be aware of the time difference and Fridays is Prayer day, 1200 till 1500hrs as it is a Muslim country)
Replys via email from cosmetic surgeon certainty gives a great deal of information about the Dr's bedside manner and whether he cares. Dr Nasir's reply was long and informative and allevates any fears you have regarding surgery because he explains everything including the possibility of complications. You need to be realistic regarding the outcome of the surgery.
BB keeps you informed all the time of any developments.
Bloods profiles are carrried out in UK therefore you are aware that you are fit for surgery or if there is any deficiency, it can be corrected prior to surgery.
Did we meet your expectations?
I honestly did not expect such good customer relations. BB definately excel in it.

Name: Julie
Operation: Breast Augmentation and Abdominoplasty
Why did you choose to have cosmetic surgery abroad?
When I knew I could go to Kuala Lumpur for cosmetic surgery, I was very happy as I go to Kuala Lumpur every year as a base to start my holidays. So I knew the healthcare is very good there.
Why did you choose Body Beautiful to make those arrangements for you?
Body Beautiful looked to be a very friendly professional company that seemed to care about the customer. When I made my decision to have Body Beautiful help me, I knew I had made the right decision. I didn’t feel like I was all alone as I had people who cared about me and my needs.
How did we handle the arrangements for you in the UK?
Top marks. I didn’t do anything really. Just left it all up to you, and that’s good as you don’t want to worry about arrangements. It has to be straight going with no stress and that’s how it was for me, relaxed.
How did you find your Consultant Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr Soma?
Wonderful, he’s such a nice guy. I can not say enough. Dr Soma is so friendly, caring, professional, he puts you at ease, as this is a very nerve racking moment, but that all went after a few moments with Dr Soma.
Appreciating it is only a week or so since the surgery, and there is still a lot of healing left to do, are you happy with the outcome of your surgery?
Yes very much so. My scar will be fine as its not as wide as I thought it would be. I had no pain, just felt tight and a little sore not just for my tummy tuck, also my breast enlargement.
How did you find your accommodation and the facilities at the Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel & Spa?
My room at the Sunway Lagoon was fine, but for me this hotel is too busy as you don’t use the water park and the shopping mall is very busy too. For what I had just had, a small hotel with nice gardens would have been so much better but all in all, if you don’t mind lots of children running about, and all the hussle and bussle its ok. But not for me.
BB – Julie travelled in August where the hotel runs at full capacity (as do most). Just like any destination around the world, during August, there is an influx of children and families given school holidays. Ordinarily, the hotel is very quiet and a perfect environment for relaxing and recuperating which most client’s comment upon and specifically refer to within their testimonials.
How did you find Malaysia as a destination?
Great. I come here every year. The people are friendly, the food is good, you can get anything to eat, the shopping is great and cheap. It is a very vibrant city, it brings me back each year. It’s a must visit place.
Our staff on the ground in Malaysia are very important to us, how did you find them?
Good to have them here, very friendly, can’t help you enough. Not just in hospital but all through your stay.
Would you recommend Body Beautiful and, if so, why?
I would recommend Body Beautiful, I already have done because you deal with everything right from the start. There’s no hassle, no stress, it was so easy and relaxed.
Did we meet your expectations?
Yes. You could not have done better for me. It was a good, safe, happy experience and I would or I should say will come back to Body Beautiful when the time is right for a little more work. Thanks.

Lesley - Breast Augmentation (Implants) and Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Name: Lesley
Operation: Breast Augmentation (Implants) and Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Why did you choose to have your cosmetic surgery abroad?
I researched all overseas cosmetic surgery companies and came across your website. I then telephoned Paul at Body Beautiful and was really happy with all the information he gave to me. I then decided Body Beautiful was who I was going to have my surgery with.
Why did you choose Body Beautiful to make those arrangements for you?
Because they arranged absolutely everything which I thought was fantastic. It took the hassle away from me which was relaxing knowing someone else had the headache!
How did we handle the arrangements for you in the UK?
No problems at all. Paul at Body Beautiful sorted everything straightaway.
How did you find your Consultant Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr. Soma?
Dr. Soma was a dream! He made me feel so comfortable and I knew he was the man for the job. I had 100% faith in him as a Consultant. He always had a smile, a little joke and he gives 100% in everything he does. If I ever wanted more Plastic Surgery, I’d definitely use Dr. Soma.
Appreciating that it is only 10 days or so since your surgery, and there is still a lot of healing left to do, are you happy with the outcome of your surgery?
Yes – completely happy. I had no problems at all but then I followed Dr. Soma’s medical advice and instructions.
How did you find your accommodation and the facilities at The Resort Suites of The Pyramid Tower at The Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel?
Lovely. The room was decorated to a very high standard and was kept spotless by the staff. Everything you needed was under one roof.
How did you find Malaysia as destination?
It’s a lovely country. The people are really friendly with so much to see and do. Whilst the flight is long, it was well worth it!
Our staff on the ground in Malaysia are very important to us, how did you find them?
I found them very friendly, very helpful and they all made me feel very welcome. They either came to see me at the hotel or kept in contact via mobile. I couldn’t have met a lovelier group of ladies.
Would you recommend Body Beautiful and, if so, why?
Yes – I would recommend Body Beautiful. Infact, I have already done so to my sister! I’ve had no problems at all and I’ve been looked after 100%
Did we meet your expectations?
Yes and more

Dawn - Abdominoplasty and Liposuction to Flanks, Hips, Thighs and Buttocks
Name: Dawn
Operation: Abdominoplasty and Liposuction to Flanks, Hips, Thighs and Buttocks
Why did you choose to have your cosmetic surgery abroad?
Cost mainly.
Why did you chose Body Beautiful to make those arrangements for you?
On recommendation.
How did we handle the arrangements for you in the UK?
Fine, no problems.
How did you find your Consultant Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr. Soma?
Great. Very professional, friendly very informative.
Appreciating it is only a short while since your surgery, and there is still healing left to do, are you happy with the outcome of your surgery?
Yes. Very. I love my new shape.
How did you find your accommodation and the facilities at The Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel & Spa?
Fabulous, but couldn’t take advantage of facilities as was too poorly.
How did you find Malaysia as a destination?
Hot, busy but didn’t see much.
Our staff on the ground in Malaysia are very important to us, how did you find them?
They were wonderful, nothing was to much trouble. The nursing staff were the best I have ever experienced.
Would you recommend Body Beautiful and, if so, why?
I’m not sure I would as I had complications and being so far away from home was awful. Having said that, I am so pleased with my surgery and I didn’t know I had hernias and so I’m viewing it as a blessing in disguise.
Dawn was unaware that she had a large double hernia that was at a very advanced stage. This was corrected during the Abdominoplasty surgery but, given the extent of the surgery, increased hospitalisation was required and her stay extended so she received the best possible care from Dr. Soma.
Did we meet your expectations?
I thought I may have got a call from BB to see how I was feeling. It is not easy to adjust when being away for over three weeks and feeling poorly and low. I also think you should recommend being checked before having surgery (tummy tuck) for hernias.
Our team on the ground in Malaysia provided constant support and assistance. They were always on hand visiting and escorting to consultations. Dawn’s progress was constantly monitored by both our team and Dr. Soma. Her progress was constantly conveyed to us. Dawn had a full Haematology and Biochemistry screen in the UK prior to surgery comprising of 44 separate diagnostic blood tests. There were no abnormalities reported.

Diane - Abdominoplasty, Rhytidectomy, Platysmaplasty, Earlobe Reduction
Name: Diane
Operation: Abdominoplasty, Rhytidectomy, Platysmaplasty, Earlobe Reduction
Why did you choose to have cosmetic surgery abroad?
The main reason being the cost. In the UK, it would have been twice the amount. I would have time to recover in a relaxed atmosphere with the benefit of a luxury hotel. In the UK, I would have been back home after only 2 nights in hospital.
Why did you choose Body Beautiful to make those arrangements for you?
After seeing the BBC programme, I felt confident about the company and was assured that the BBC would have carried out their own research on the company.
How did we handle the arrangements for you in the UK?
In an expert, professional manner.
How did you find your Consultant Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr Soma?
Charming, reassuring, very caring, very professional and absolutely gorgeous!!
Appreciating it is only a week or so since the surgery, and there is still a lot of healing left to do, are you happy with the outcome of your surgery?
I am very bruised and swollen. I was hoping that the swelling would not be this bad, however my tummy looks fantastic. My face is very swollen too, its very difficult to see a true result. By the time I return home I will see how great I look!
How did you find your accommodation and the facilities at the Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel & Spa?
Room a bit dated. Could have done with a shower cubicle, found it difficult getting in and out of the bath. Staff are very helpful. Had trouble with my safe and it took some time to sort out but got things resolved in the end.
How did you find Malaysia as a destination?
Didn’t see much of it unfortunately.
Our staff on the ground in Malaysia are very important to us, how did you find them?
Excellent. The Staff in resort are great – nothing was too much trouble for them, and being on my own I really needed someone I could rely on.
Would you recommend Body Beautiful and, if so, why?
I would recommend Body Beautiful. I cannot fault their service, or the hospitals of the hotels. The staff were very helpful. It is so refreshing to phone a company and the phone answered straight away by a human and not having to go through different options. My questions were answered straight away so I felt very reassured.
Did we meet your expectations?
Yes no question about it.
