Brits who need corrective surgery after botched operations done ‘on the cheap’ abroad are costing the NHS millions of pounds, a new report claims.

More than £30million has been spent by the NHS to correct ‘sloppy’ mistakes that have left some patients permanently scarred.

More than 1,000 women a year arrive home with issues ranging from holes in their skin to wounds that will not heal.

Four out of five UK surgeons are now dealing with more corrective cases than ever, with some saying it accounts for 40 percent of their work.

Corrective procedures here cost up to £6,000 a time, according to the Mirror.

Turkey is the worst place for botched operations on British people, the newspaper found, with one surgeon in the coastal town of Marmaris the subject of complaints from a string of women.

They says procedures conducted by Dr Mehmet Kaya have caused them physical and mental damage.

One of his patients, Julie Lambert, from Selston in Nottinghamshire, paid £4,000 for eye surgery, a breast augmentation and a neck lift.

It would have cost her £20,000 in the UK.

But the 60-year-old nurse said she ‘feels like a fool’ after being left with a wound that kept opening and deformed ear lobes.

‘Every aspect of this procedure has left me physically and emotionally scarred. I now have to cover my neck as I have a two-inch hard lumpy scar,’ she said.

‘I am embarrassed as a nurse that I was manipulated by these people and trusted them.’

Jean Nuttall, 60, of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, had eyelift surgery and fat transfers to her face carried out by Dr Kaya for £1,200.

It would have coster her £7,000 to have the same operation in the UK.

She said she has been left with one eye bigger than the other and the fat moved to her face vanished after two months.

British plastic surgeon Saif Ramman warned patients to be wary of cut-price operations abroad as often those carrying them out are not experienced.

The senior specialist registrar at St George’s Hospital in South London said: ‘This is costing the NHS around £6million a year that could be spent on more doctors or nurses.’

While British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons president Simon Withey told the Mirror: ‘I have seen many people who were not appropriate for surgery, and yet unscrupulous practitioners have endangered their health for profit.

‘Affordability is one of the biggest drivers in the rise of “cosmetic medical tourism” deals offering all-inclusive holidays and the promise of a high-quality service at heavily discounted rates.

‘However, these gloss over the risk of post-op complications due to travel, less robust regulations and a lack of follow-up.’

Some operations offered at Dr Kaya’s clinic had as much as 80 percent off what patients would pay in the UK.

His clinic recruits patients though Facebook groups such as Aesthetic Treatments and Plastic Surgeries in Turkey.

A clinic representative said: ‘Dr Kaya has many satisfied patients, he does very good work.’
