Surgery and Safari
Orient-Express Hotels' Africa Collection, in conjunction
with Surgeon & Safari, has introduced a personalized rejuvenation program,
including either surgical or non-surgical procedures, with recuperation
packages at the company's Westcliff Hotel in Johannesburg and Mount Nelson in
Cape Town. Established to provide a personalized program of
cosmetic surgery in complete privacy, Surgeon & Safari combines
recuperation packages featuring pampering health and beauty treatments with
opulent surroundings. Guests have the option of embarking on an exciting safari
following their treatment as well at Orient-Express' Gametrackers camps in
Botswana. According to Surgeon & Safari founder and director Lorraine
Melvill, "We chose to partner with Orient-Express because of the elegant
locations of the hotels, the Westcliff's proximity to local surgeons and
clinics, and each property's discreet layout and sense of privacy." "South African surgeons are among the best in the
world," said Nick Seewer, managing director for Orient-Express' Africa
Collection. "Given our favorable exchange rate, cosmetic surgery can cost
less than a fifth of what it is in the U.S., making it an attractive option for
our affluent guests." Surgeon & Safari works with leading plastic
surgeons, notably Johannesburg-based Dr. Saul Braun, who performs cosmetic,
plastic and reconstructive surgical procedures, under secure, technologically
advanced conditions at a private clinic in Johannesburg. A member of the
Medical Association of South Africa, he also belongs to the prestigious
Association of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons of South Africa. Surgeon & Safari's personalized program includes
liaison with a registered surgeon, on-line consultations, pre-/post surgical
appointments, airport meet and greet, and special rates at either The Westcliff
or Mount Nelson Hotels for the one- to two-week recovery stay. Surgeon &
Safari accompanies clients every step of the way. Once procedures are completed, patients relax in their
private paradise—within a luxurious private room at the Westcliff or Mt.
Nelson, where they indulge in a personally designed rejuvenation and recovery
program. Treatments include aromatherapy and massage to speed the healing
process at the Westcliff's Camelot Health & Beauty Center or Sharon's, the
body care clinic at the Mount Nelson. Customized programs and rates are based on surgical and
non-surgical procedures. The three-day non-surgical package at either The
Westcliff or Mount Nelson, including soft procedures such as botox, derma live,
and restylane as well as health and beauty options, start at R10,825 or
approximately US$1,515. A seven-day package including a selection of two
surgical procedures such as lip enhancements, tummy tucks, eyelid surgery, full
face laser resurfacing or liposuction begin at R27,225 or approximately
US$3,800, including accommodation at The Westcliff and some meals. A 14-day
package including surgical procedures such as eyelid surgery, full-face laser
resurfacing, liposuction, breast lift, health and beauty options, accommodation
at The Westcliff and some meals start at R54,450 or approximately US$7,620 per
person. For more information, contact Lorraine Melvill at info@surgeon-and-safari.co.za
