Thank you so much for handling my case so well. You came to know us at a great time of sadness and you were so kind. We will always remember you as very professional but also very warm hearted.

Alexander Harris has had a number of enquiries from people who have had cosmetic surgery abroad which has gone wrong.
Two leading health experts have warned patients of the dangers of travelling abroad for cosmetic surgery, urging caution under qualified surgeons and inadequate after-care.
Lots of women travel abroad from Britain every year where cosmetic surgery is thousands of pounds cheaper than it is in Britain.
Up to 10,000 people fly from Britain for operations in countries such as South Africa, India, and Brazil every year.
A doctor at a leading Cosmetic surgery in Brussels said he had seen a 30 per cent rise in the number of Britons visiting the clinic in the last year.
A former president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, Norman Waterhouse, warned women to be careful of taking up what may seem like attractive offers.
