WORTH IT$159
I've always wanted BOTOX and i waited for a while before i got it, i didn't really need it but at the age of 29 i find i have fine lines around my eyes and one in the middle of my forehead (between my eyes). I went to Thailand and got my breasts lifted and thought "what the heck?" and got BOTOX as an added extra. I had it done on my crows feet, the middle of my eyes and my forehead.
At first i didn't noticed anything, it takes about 3 - 5 days for the product to take effect, then it was quite subtle but SO effective: it was like i had new skin or something. You couldn't put your finger on it but you could tell there was something new about my face. People commented on it too, someone said "you have really nice skin!" which i hadn't heard in a while. I could still wrinkle my face up if i tried, there was nothing plastic looking about me, but the product just slightly ironed out my skin and i looked fresh all the time. Ttoally worth it 100%. I hate my face without it now! And it was dirt cheap too! the Thai doctors really DO know what they're doing.

I got Botox 4 days ago through a special i found on Scoopon.com.au, one of those sites that you get discounted goods and services. It cost me $159 for one major area and one minor area. This was an issue for me because the major areas were the frown lines, crows feet and forehead lines and i wanted them all done! I couldn't decide, but i got my forehead and a little under my eyebrows to open my eyes a little more. Then the doctor let me pay the same rate i bought my Scoopon voucher for to have another major site done, that was so brilliant! So i also got crows feet.
It's by far the cheapest place i have been to out of Melbourne, Adelaide and Bangkok. I think in Thailand they give you a bit more for your money but i was happy to pay that amount for what i got. I don't look plastic or expressionless, i just have less lines, a very natural outcome.
My only criticism is the lack of professionalism. He was very laid back and made me feel very comfortable, then he hit a nerve or something in my face and left me with a massive bruise, which was uncomfortable when i moved my face. All good now, i just wish he was a little more careful. I WILL definitely go back again, nonetheless.

You look fabulous, I just got Botox for the first time and I'm 39 :) I understand how you feel, as after the first week I wanted to personally hug my DR and thank him for giving me back smooth under eyes, no more creepy that make-up simply would not look good no matter which brand, type etc...I'm so happy to read of your positive results, I have now sworn away spending on the pricey "do nothing" skin creams (Retin a YES always will use) and saving that cash for Botox :-) I'm very satisfied and you look great, crows feet area is amazing :-)

I went to Yanhee International Hospital. On their website there's a map you can print out to show cab drivers. Once you get there, walk inside to the small reception area next to the elevators on the right and they all speak English

Thanks! I'm super happy with all of it, i only got a touch in my forehead, i didn't want to look unnatural. I can not wait to go back to Thailand, they sell Retin-A in the chemists! ARGH i love it!

Thanks for your replay,Ive heard about this hospital, planned for surgery for next year.I want face lift and breast as well.Are you happy with your surgery?
July 8, 2012
Oh yeah! Super happy. There are scars involved with breast lift and mine have faded so much in the past 18 months without the use of cream, its great. I would definitely recommend you go to Yanhee, they are super professional and check up on you every few hours. I worked in the hospital for a few months in 2011, welcoming patients from overseas and showing them their room and to their hotel, checking up on them before and after surgery, i saw heaps of facelifts, the patients never said a bad word about them (apart from pain factor). And they seem to do soooo many breast implants, it's not even a big deal for them.
Good luck!
Good luck!

Scared? Of what?
Cosmetic surgery in Thailand is so much better than Australia. And the doctors have so many more accreditation's than ours.
I won't ever have surgery in Australia. It's cheaper to fly return, get it done and stay for 2 weeks then it is to have the surgery here.

yes - and if something goes wrong when you get back - Medicare do not cover you. I have seen first hand many many disappointing results and upset girls that did not get the expected outcome.

Sorry, I live in US, I didn't know doctors in Australia are so bad. I would just feel a little uneasy about Thailand. But, on another note, how much? Did you get silicone implants and lift? and what did it cost you?
August 16, 2012
Doctors aren't bad, but our implants cost way more than anywhere else in the world. People don't realize that Thai surgery is first rate, better than AU and US! And at a fraction of the cost. But to get from the US - Thailand probably costs heaps, might not be worth it for Americans, i'm not sure.
I didn't have implants, just a lift. Lift + implants is a huge painful surgery & i was scared hahaha. The lift was amazing though, healed perfectly, my scars have faded & now i want implants cuz i've lost a load of weight.
It cost me $3000 and i stayed at a friends place after to recover so i'm lucky i didn't need to pay for accommodation but you only really need a week in a recovery hotel (like 4 - 5 star hotels) at $80 - $100 a night? They have doctors on call if you need and room service, air con, etc.

I am sounding bitchy, but I don't mean to be. But the Dr's in Australia are highly skilled and a huge percentage of Thai dr's actually complete their training in Australia, so I can't not possibly see how they are more accedited than here. (you went to a dentist for botox, are you really concerned about a Dr's skills?) Its about doing your reasearch, to find the best dr that suits you. As for costs a breast lift is covered under medicare until your child is 7 (sucks if you dont have kids though) I just recently had a breast up lift and reduction and a full abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) in Adelaide which was done by the head of Plastic Surgery at Flinders and it was covered by medicare and my private insurance. However I did have some out of pocket expenses ($6500) but I did not have to go over seas and my Dr was able to monitor my recovery over 6 weeks. My results are amazing!
