Monday, November 01, 2004Aylin Oflas couldn't afford to get the fat liposuctioned from her thighs at home in Germany. So she went back across the border to the Polish doctor who had fitted her with breast implants last year -- and asked what he could do. It didn't take the 18-year-old Berliner long to choose Poland once again for her latest transformation. 'For what it costs in Germany to get rid of the fat in my inner thighs, the doctor here will also take out fat around my knees and in my lower back,' Oflas said after driving more than two hours to consult with her surgeon in Szczecin. 'And I'll even be able to get my lips made bigger while I'm at it.' The price: $3,300 -- against $12,300 in Germany. Oflas joins a rising number of Germans and others from western Europe who travel to Poland -- and other new EU members such as Hungary and Slovakia -- to pay less for plastic surgery, fertility treatment and dental work. posted by Sydney on 11/01/2004 07:34:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
