Bumrungrad Hospital in Thailand Face Life - Bangkok, Thailand

HI BJ in Hawaii, I have heard about and have looked up and seen that this is one of the highest rated hospitals in the world. There are many youtubes available online with peoples experiences after surgery while still in Thailand. Just plug in Bumrungrad facelift or plastic surgeryand look for the youtubes. I almost scheduled the same thing and I went online to the hospital and it lets you look at each doctors qualifications and the days and hours they work. I chose the one with the most days working for the whole day just in case I needed the extra time. He was very kind and wrote back to me to give me my fee. My fee by the way was $8,500 and included the neck so.. I will look for his name and get back to you. I felt it was too far away for me to go although I love Thailand. Many people from Australia go to get their plastic surgery there. To be continued...

Here is the doctor I chose when I thought I was going to Bumrungrad hospital. I chose him due to the fact that he works all the time so must have a lot of experience and is there on many days whereas other surgeons are only there one day a week in the morning or afternoon. Go through all the doctors and take a look at their credentials. I cannot say for sure that he is the best, just the one I chose and was kind enough to correspond with me several times.

oops forgot to put his name and contact on: Teerasit Sripanidkulchai (Dr.)

Thank you for starting your story on RealSelf! Do you live in Thailand or are you planning to go there because of lower costs?

I hope you'll keep us updated in this space as you go through the process of choosing a surgeon, scheduling your surgery and transforming. :)

How can I book an appointment with Dr Komwit directly?

Yes I've had surgery done at Bumrungrad......more serious than a facelift actually. It is an extremely professional place and I immediately felt in the best of hands, though it is about three times the cost of regional private hospitals in Thailand (I live here) for general surgery. In fact I am surprised to see that $8500 figure as on their website under packages a face and neck lift is half that. Good luck and use the in hospital food court it is fantastic.

BJ... thought I'd check in to your review after our communications and saw your question re: anaethesia. I had the local. No fear of being "put out" completely, but my doctor's and my preference for an easier recovery for me. BUT here's a question you may want to ask your surgeon... mine used an anti nausea pre op , and in the IV along with an anti anxiety in the IV for the local. Absolutely as relaxed as a sleeping kitten with periods of communication with the doctor. No awareness of pain at all for me. But the anaesthsia team is important... and should have experience working with the plastic surgeon.... another question you might ask. :) This is all exciting for you and your husband... good luck!
