Check out Indian plumbing.
I'm sure the work will be good, just don't expect the ears to be quite level.

let's move this to the correct forum, then maybe you can get some answers....
and don't mind Nick's scathing wit -- he's up to his neck in house stuff lately, so he has plumbing, among other things, on his mind....   |

I would go here I think.. Has won awards, is very clean and the staff are very helpful. It's not cheap, but I would say it's the best. Good luck!

Annie,
Just my experience of many professionals here over the past couple of years .OK, I'd say that the medical ones have been better than the builders... |

Lets also remember that there have been numerous cases of horror stories about plastic surgery. Its not an automatic procedure and involves considerable risk. I would say this is a voluntary procedure and hardly worth the extra risk of getting referrals off the "street". If you can't get thorough information this is a big gamble to save a few bucks..

Seriously, I understand this is probably important to you and I'm sure there ARE good plastic surgeons in Goa tracking them down could be hard work though.
The limited experience I have with Goan hospitals isn't good I'm afraid. Both times friends of mine caught serious infections whilst in the hospital. One in the Apollo, the other in the University hospital in Panjim! Hang on in there though, there maybe someone out there with a more positive experience! |

And do remember, you have very little to no recourse if the surgeon blotches the surgery.

Definitely go to Thailand for any cosmetic surgury, they are known to do an EXELLENT job at a fraction of western prices. Literally thousands flock there every year for everything from a nose job, sex resassignment to eyebrow tattoo's. It wont be quite as cheap as india but it will be the same thing you'd get in the us or england at a fraction of the price. Of course i dont know from personal experience but look into it. just trying to help.
