Pakistan latest boob-job hotspot for British born Pakistani Women

A growing number of well-educated British-born Pakistani women in their 20s are combining their annual visits to their ancestral homeland along with
a trip to the plastic surgeon for cut-price, nip-and-tuckoperations.

Hundreds of Pakistani Britons are booking cheap
plastic surgery in Pakistan's main cities, three times the number
just four years ago. Nose jobs, tummy tucks, liposuction and breast
enlargements are the favored treatments for many who feel "pressure
to have Western features" but who want to pay only a fraction of
what they would be charged in Britain.

The women are mostly middle-class professionals who take a week to ten days out of their
hectic schedule in Pakistan to visit Islamabad, Lahore or Karachi
where almost all the country's 70 registered plastic surgeons are
based.

Dr Abdul Hameed, the president of the Pakistani Association of Plastic Surgeons, said the trend began four years ago when doctors noticed "waves of British clients" coming during the summer and winter holiday seasons.

About 400 women were visiting the country for cosmetic surgery every year."These women are mostly educated, with 70 per cent who work and earn independently.
Only this week, a woman from Maida Vale in west London came to me for a nose job. She was in Pakistan attending a marriage ceremony.
The women know that the waiting lists for good cosmetic surgery in London is maybe three months long. In Pakistan, there is no waiting list.
