WOMEN & COSMETIC OBSTETRICS & GYNAECOLOGY (O & G) Obstetrics and gynaecology is theMEDICAL medical speciality dealing with fields of obstetrics and gynaecology through only one postgraduate training programme. This combined training prepares the practicing O & G to be adept at the care of female reproductive organs’ health and at the management of obstetric complications, even through surgery. All obstetricians are trained gynaecologists, although the reverse is not necessarily true. However, some OB/GYNs may choose to drop the obstetric component of their practice and focus solely on gynaecology, especially as they get older. This decision is often based on the double burden of very late hours and, depending on the country, high rates of litigation.118 PLASTIC SURGERY Plastic surgery is a medical specialty concerned with the “correction”or restoration of form and function. Though cosmetic or aesthetic surgery is the best- known kind of plastic surgery, plastic surgery is not necessarily cosmetic; and includes many types of reconstructive surgery, craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, and the treatment of burns. Undergoing a plastic surgery has become a trend in certain classes of society, but there are some serious repercussions that have to be considered before going into surgery.

DENTALMEDICAL Today, people are combining a holiday to Malaysia with affordable dental care due to prices being too out of reach of many in European and North American countries. Malaysia is a multiethnic nation which offers dental surgeries and English-speaking dentists, well-qualified to cater to all of your dental needs, cosmetic or otherwise. The neighboring countries of Malaysia, too, offer dental treatments but Malaysia is nevertheless a regional leader in dental surgery due to numerous clinics here that provides dental care tailored to international patients. Although its main appeal is the affordable prices, Malaysia offers modern clinics, latest treatments and up-to-date equipment. Kuala Lumpur is the hub of dental care in Malaysia where hundreds of dentist practices, but clinics serving dental tourists are also available in most major holiday destinations such as Penang and Melaka. Since most dental procedures have a short recovery period, tourists can combine the treatment with a holiday in this multicultural country.120
