i am flying to las vegas to have a boob job. i am a uk citizen so we don't have health insurance anyway but if anything was to go wrong after the operation and i had to go to hospital do i need to get health insurance?

I am sure you are paying for your own procedure for breast augmentation and have already budgeted for it. However, if you suffer complications you would then have an issue. If I were you I would check into Travel Insurance--you might be able to find a really good one that would provide protection for any unforeseen complications. You would of course list the Travel Insurance for your trip originating in the UK to cover travel to Las Vegas. Many of the Travel Policies cover medical on a primary or secondary basis--some exclude coverage for pre-existing conditions, etc. The Policy would not cover the cost of the surgery itself but you might be able to find one of these that will cover any complications--no guarantees of course! Hopefully Travel Insurance on your side of the pond would be more comprehensive in this situation since England has National Health Service and not traditional health insurance. Google Travel Insurance and then make sure you ask a lot of questions before you buy since this trip would obviously not be your run of the mill tourist trip! I hope this helps. Good Luck!
