I am so happy i endured a 23-hour flight to come to Bangkok and the Kamol Hospital. The entire experience was world class, and I am so happy with the results of my gender affirming surgery. I can say the aftercare, the K Garden was an unexpected pleasure. I highly recommend the Kamol Hospital and Dr Kamol, but don't expect a long conversation with him!

Good: no scar bumps getting soft good size for me Bad: wanted motiva but got eurosilicon instead even when I started messaging the hospital half a year in advanced. eh?: Kamol himself doesn't speak much English, lacks bed side manners as he's "too experienced" for more details I have made a video about my post op experiences up to the 3 months recovery mark. https://youtu.be/7-0k_Jnq2Ts
The doctor, staff, hospital, and medical hotel were all amazing! :) Dr Kamol is a likable curmudgeon, very experienced, and seems to take pride in his work. He is, in fact, so honest that he talked me out of a procedure that I had already paid for! ;) The hospital and medical hotel were immaculate and beautiful, and certainly the OR is a world-class medical facility. My patient care coordinator, Nissa, was absolutely wonderful, ushering me through the whole process. :) <3 She was a calm, helpful presence, and my advocate as needed. The hotel staff were really great; helpful, attentive, and so kind and sweet! :) <3 The main upsetting issue was that I lost over $900 vis-à-vis the exchange rate, because the financial director delayed my refund for three months, after I canceled a procedure that I had already paid for. Also, due to a communication issue, they did not give me a strong enough painkiller after, because I have minor issues with opioids and opiates, which can be mitigated with the use of an additional medicine, but this is actually a testament to their medical care and caution, that they felt it safer to treat me with a known medication than to risk side effects of the other. Overall though, it was a really good experience, and I would highly recommend Dr Kamol, his hospital, staff, and medical hotel! :)

Ladies if you are looking for great results and care, Kamol Cosmetic Surgery i highly recommend!!! The hugest THANKS to Dr Kamol for providing me with the best care I could have ever received throughout this experience!!!
Beautiful hospital, very clean and friendly staff that will make you fill home. Before the surgery I got full health check and that has given me a good feeling. On the day off surgery I was nervous but Nati helped me to become calm. The after care is really good.
I am really impressed with Dr. Kamol and the Kamol Hospital team. They made the entire experience so pleasant even thought I went through a very invasive procedure. From the first email contact, till my last day at the hotel I was looked after. Also, meet other people going through similar procedures at hotel really helped my speedy recovery. In short: I had the best results from my procedure, an out of this world aftercare with the nurses and I made many friends that I will remember and keep forever. I recommend the Kamol Hospital to anyone that is looking to become their realself with the best result and overall pleasant experience.
I had such an amazing experience with Dr Kamol, well worth everything I went though. I had the surgery on the 15th of August 2019 using the technique of scrotal skin graft with groin skin graft and I am currently 3 weeks post opp and I am loving the results so far. The hospital and hotel staff were amazing, they take care of you so well. You feel like family with them, make so many friends and feel like they really care about you and your recovery. I would go through the whole experience again just to be around such wonderful staff, so caring. I would highly recommend the hospital and hotel to anyone considering the surgery, you feel really at home with everyone and I meet so many amazing people just being there for my 4 weeks. So many friendships I made which is amazing

It is generally recommended to wait at least 8 weeks before resuming tennis after a tummy tuck, depending on your individual healing progress.
Yes, you can have a tummy tuck if the morphea is inactive. Dermatologist clearance is recommended, as the condition may affect healing and scarring.
Given your history and significant diastasis, a full abdominoplasty with muscle repair is likely the most effective option. It typically involves a transverse incision with umbilical repositioning. While scar position depends on your anatomy, experienced surgeons aim to keep it low and well-hidden. Muscle repair can also improve core strength and reduce back pain. Though scar concerns are valid, the long-term benefits often outweigh the risks.
Based on your description, liposuction alone may not be ideal because of the loose skin — it could make stretch marks and sagging more noticeable. A better option might be a mini abdominoplasty with liposuction, which can remove excess lower skin while improving shape, with a shorter scar and less impact on future pregnancies.
The tummy tuck scar will be a transverse incision at the lower abdomen, positioned under the bikini line. The procedure will remove the skin that includes part of your old vertical scar, but not all of it—some of the scar above the umbilicus may remain.
