What is it like to travel abroad for a chin implant?

ohmyjawJan 1, 2014
Hi. I have two questions about chin implants. I feel really miserable about my weak chin, so maybe someone can give me some insight. Firstly, does anyone here have any experience with getting a chin implant from Thailand? I am scared of the idea, because I used to never even considered plastic surgery, let alone one in Thailand. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Since I am really unhappy about my weak chin and I am not able to save much money, I have been thinking of getting a surgery in Thailand. So, does anone here have any experience with Thai doctors and can recommend a good doctor? Also, what would be the price estimate for this kind of surgery in Thailand? Secondly, do you normally get to see a computer modelled version of "the new you" before the surgery?  Thanks a lot!
