Cosmetic & Aesthetic Surgery
Look Like You Feel — With Surgeons You Can Trust
India has rapidly emerged as one of the world's most exciting destinations for cosmetic and aesthetic surgery — and at Bums, Tums & Gums, we have been at the forefront of that shift. While Jackie Brown has been escorting New Zealanders and Australians to Thailand for cosmetic surgery for 17 years, India has become an equally outstanding option — offering world-class surgical talent, internationally accredited hospitals, and results that speak for themselves, at a fraction of the cost back home.
Our Surgeons — Globally Trained, Exceptionally Skilled
The cosmetic surgeons we work with in India are not simply good — they are exceptional. Our team includes specialists who have completed fellowships in New Zealand, worked in Stockholm, practised in Spain, and trained alongside leading plastic and reconstructive teams across Europe and beyond. One of our cosmetic surgeons completed her fellowship right here in New Zealand before taking her skills to the world stage.
We work with surgeons who have performed hand transplants, who specialise in complex reconstructive work, and who bring together aesthetic, facial plastic, and reconstructive surgery under one roof. There is very little in the world of cosmetic surgery that our team cannot cover.

Two Ways to Travel
Option One
Join an Escorted Tour
Jackie runs four escorted tours to India per year, welcoming up to six cosmetic surgery clients alongside orthopedic and dental patients. Partners and support people are warmly welcome. You'll travel as part of a small, close-knit group — and many clients leave as lifelong friends.
Option Two
Travel Independently
Prefer your own timeline? Jackie will organise your surgery, accommodation, and all transfers, and arrange a Zoom consultation with your surgeon before you travel — so you arrive confident, informed, and ready.
Jackie Walks the Talk
JB
Jackie Brown is not just a medical tourism specialist — she is a client herself. Over the years Jackie has personally had liposuction, a facelift, and eyelid surgery, and she brings that lived experience to every conversation she has with her clients. She knows exactly what you're feeling, what questions to ask, and what to expect — because she's been there herself.
Based in Omokoroa, just north of Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty, Jackie has spent 50 years in the travel industry and 17 years specifically in medical tourism. She has personally escorted over 300 people overseas for cosmetic surgery and has built deep, trusted relationships with her surgical teams, hospitals, and support staff across India, Thailand, and Mexico.
