Professor Ruth Holliday on cosmetic tourism (BBC R4)
Professor Ruth Holliday recently featured on Radio 4's "Thinking Allowed" with Laurie Taylor, outlining her current research project about cosmetic tourism Sun, Sea, Sand and Silicone.
The project aims to explore the cosmetic surgery tourism industry from the point of view of tourists, surgeons, care workers, tourist agents and tour guides. There are lots of ‘myths’ about cosmetic surgery tourism, but the project seeks to understand the motivations and experiences of people travelling for surgery and all those who work to provide this service.
The project website is being used to gather the experiences of people using an online questionnaire.
