Cosmetic surgery is increasingly popular these days. What started as something once only affordable by the rich and famous is now accessible to people from all walks of life, as long as they have a credit card. While the reasons people resort to cosmetic surgery can vary and is often personal, the main motivations for getting it done are for health, boosting self esteem, reconstructive surgery for correcting deformities, and, of course, vanity.
Whatever the motivation, cosmetic surgery can improve your life at so many levels. In the search for a practitioner, you’ll want to ascertain the procedure to be as safe as possible, done well and at an affordable price. The last point brings us to Thailand; one of the most reputable cosmetic and plastic surgery countries as far as value for money is concerned.
Following are the major advantages of having your cosmetic surgery done in Thailand.
Cosmetic Vacation
Where else in the world can you combine an exotic vacation with a surgical procedure in one go? Thailand is famous for its medical tourism. It is perhaps the most affordable place on earth for cosmetic and plastic surgeries to be done. Whatever your breast augmentation, facelift, liposuction or your tummy tuck cost (see the price of a tummy tuck in the US), Thailand will offer you excellent value for money.
The low cost does not necessarily translate to ‘worse off’ situations. In fact, the leading hospitals in Thailand are five-star rated and don’t feel like medical facilities at all. They resemble more like luxurious hotels and your experience does not fall short in quality either.
Top Rated Surgeons
Many of the surgeons have been trained in world-class US institutions and are US-board certified and others that have been locally educated are equally skilled. A lot of the hospitals are internationally accredited hospitals and only employ qualified and highly experienced staff as well.
Thai doctors are privileged with the use of some of the worlds most advanced and state-of-the-art medical equipment. In fact, in Thailand, you’ll have access to some of the best health care in the world. A lot of this has to do with the emphasis the Thai government places on its medical tourism.
High Quality Care
A Thai cosmetic vacation begins before you even leave home. The process starts with live teleconferences with your doctor and through this you often receive customised information about the hospital, doctors involved in your treatment, the procedure, follow-ups and costs involved. You can have your travel arrangements made for you which include flight bookings, visas, and accommodation.
You’ll even have an English-speaking liaison dedicated to your needs for the duration of your stay, who will look after your non-medical needs such as taking you to your hotel and medical consultations.
Sex Change Surgery
While Thailand is a haven for cosmetic surgery, it’s also the destination for gender reassignment surgeries. Thailand’s solo practitioners are some of the best for transgender people who seek high quality at affordable costs. The nature of the people of Thailand’s tolerance to transsexuals has influenced the increasing number of patients seeking gender reassignment to the country.
When making your decision on which practitioner and medical facility to pick, be weary of those who offer extremely cheap prices. As much as there are advantages to cosmetic surgery in Thailand, there are also risks, especially with Thailand’s underground surgical operators.
But which surgeons can we really trust. I have a feeling that though Thailand offers world-class facilities, they concentrate too much on sex change. Am I wrong?
Wow, that is almost scary! I think I will just stick to visiting the beaches of Thailand instead
