After years of reading Cosmetic Surgery Magazines and thinking ‘One Day’...I heard about Beautiful You Holidays.  An affordable dream!!!  Still being the eternal procrastinator , it wasn’t until a like minded friend said to me that she was going to do something soon, that I tagged along.

Meeting Loraine from Beautiful You Holidays  and having photographs taken for assessment was the beginning of an amazing  experience.

The thought of  putting all the organising into the hands of someone with Loraine’s experience was  a relief. I felt so positive and confident and could hardly wait! Beautiful You Holidays organised everything down to the last detail – accommodation, transport, surgeon, hospital and concierge in KL.  I went with 2 friends – only one of which was having surgery as well, our other friend came to look after us!

To begin with I was all set to have a full face lift under local anaesthetic, but then decided to have a rhinoplasty also.  This meant that I would have to have a general anaesthetic as the operation would be longer. Beautiful You Holidays organised a new schedule for me almost at the last minute without any fuss whatsoever.  Very professional.   The day arrived and my friends and I headed off.  We arrived in KL in the evening and were driven to our apartment at ‘The Prince Hotel’  It was a long drive but in no time we had arrived. Fabulous accommodation – very spacious and modern.  Fantastic food, and a short walk across the road to ‘the Pavillion’ – designer shopping, can’t recommend it highly enough!

The next morning we met Edie, the Ground Manager for Beautiful You Holidays.  We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at the Prince and then I was taken by car to a private hospital  (friends in tow),  and met with Dr Jalil. It was all very exciting.  I felt an instant repore with Dr Jalil who immediately put me at ease and understood exactly what I wanted before I uttered a word.

I went in for my surgery later that evening.  No sooner had I gone into theatre I was being woken and told it was all over!  I couldn’t believe how easy peasy it all was.  It was however 6 hours or so that had passed – they just make it so stress free.

The attention and service afterwards in the recovery room and later in my hospital room was fantastic.  I felt very safe.  I was up and about by midday the following day being showered and fed heaps of lovely food.  Edie from Beautiful You Holidays was there to see the results and check on me.  She had provided me with a mobile phone and was on call any time.

Dr Jalil attended to me morning and evening.  I had absolutely no problems and was released on the morning of the 3rd day.  I was picked up by Beautiful You Holidays to be driven back to the apartment.  Meantime while I was having  my procedures,  my friend had been busy on the other side of town having hers with Dr Wong.  She had been to a day clinic and opted for Local Anaesthetic for her procedure (face lift).  She was in the car to greet me.  We didn’t stop talking and I couldn’t believe how wonderful she looked.  After a couple of days of being holed up in our apartment we braved it and hit the shops.  We were only going to be there eleven days in all, and there was no time to waste!

My friend and I had followup visits with our surgeons to check recovery and have stitches removed.  Accompanied by Edie, who was becoming a constant companion.  I was happy that I only had a couple of nasal stitches to be removed as Dr Jalil does internal stitching – magic – minimum scars.   He is a wonderful, warm ‘perfectionist’.  The time went all too soon.  We had both healed to an amazing degree – and lost weight (walking around the shops).  Best experience ever, ticked it off my ‘bucket list’.

The whole adventure would not have happened for me if I hadn’t met with Loraine at Beautiful You Holidays and had the benefit of all the professional expertise from her and her friendly team. Thank-you so much.
