So my bob job is in just over 10 days. I'm so excited and nervous!!! I'm totally premenstrual atm and my little girls have been so swollen! They seem like they know what's going to happen and are saying 'look! Look how big we are!!!' They've calmed down a bit now, I am actually going to miss them...
Destination Beauty - Thailand
So it's been 2 weeks post-op today and I'm sorry I haven't written sooner. The whole experience was so amazing/nerve-racking/exciting and overwhelming I'm only able to write a full review now. Well basically I'm here to tell you the truth about Destination Beauty. The bad thing about Destination Beauty was that the whole trip had to end! It was one of the most amazing things I have ever done (go to a foreign country for plastic surgery!) and I would do it again tomorrow.
I have heard great things, and bad things but in my honest opinion I would recommend Destination Beauty to anyone (and I'm not getting paid to say this! Lol!) The level of care and professionalism I received would equal if not surpass any I would get from a 'western' country. Where I'm from breast augmentations are day sugery procedures. In Thailand I was in a 5 star hospital for 2 full days and nights, with amazingly caring nurses checking on me every 2 hours on the dot.
I have read the importance of 'bed-side manner' in regards to surgeons, and one thing I will say is that westerners must be willing to accept the eastern surgeons 'bed-side manner'. It may be different to western, no less, just different. Maybe it's the thick accent and their humbleness, I don't know. My surgeon was Dr Kasemsak. I had read a review that said he was 'odd' and that there was something 'a little off' about him, so when I met him, as open-minded as I was trying to be I couldn't help being a little nervous. Now that I know Dr Kasemsak I can proudly say that as my surgeon he was the kindest, sweetest, most humble (if not very shy), sensible and professional surgeon I've ever met. I now understand that for some people (especially westerners) thick accents would be a worry for someone about to operate on you! But Dr Kasemsak was more than willing to explain things more than once (or twice) if I didn't understand. The nurses that assist him are just amazing as well. During my final consultation (when the blue texta came out) I realised I wasn't as mentally prepared as I thought and in the consultation room I had an anxiety attack. The nurses and Dr Kasemsak were so lovely, I was so embarrassed as I broke into a sweaty pale shaking mess and nearly collapsed! They had obviously seen it plenty of times before because they all did everything they could to help me.
My hopes for DDs probably won't be fulfilled because as Dr Kasemsak explained, as I've always been very small breasted I simply don't have the skin to hold 400+ cc's implants without the risk of complications. He explained all the risks, showed relevant pictures and explained why the SAFEST option would be 350cc's. As disappointed as I felt, my boobs now are fantastic, they don't get in my way, I'm healing beautifully (touch wood!) and I'm so pleased that his main concern was safety, above my desires.
Basically I had the breast augmentation, 2 x days and nights in 5 star hospital, 8 nights in serviced appartments, where a nurse would come to visit, buffet breakfast daily, transfers, flights all for what it would cost for the breast augmentation alone in my home town. Oh! And! Before surgery he told me I may or may not need a nipple lift, he would see how the implant sat once he was in there. I paid for a nipple lift as well, and on waking from the surgery I was told he didn't need to do it and they reimbursed me the money within a couple of days! So I ended up with more spending money! As I said to my husband, he could have just cut out my nipple and sewn it back on, I never would have know, lol! It just proved again to me the integrity and professionalism of this company and their surgeons.
The company comes twice a week to the apartments and takes all the clients out for afternoon tea (at the most beautiful cafe) and when I went I was lucky enough to meet the owner of destination beauty himself. A Dutch man called Martin (I think that was his name, I was still on a LOT of painkillers then, lol!). I felt so lucky that he was in town and decided to come. He really opened my eyes to the world of 'cosmetic tourism'. What an amazing concept. The women I met would not have been able to afford such luxuries in their home countries. And Thailand's infrastructure and safety standards in the hospital I stayed at were better than anything I could have imagined.
My husband and I have a son with a disability and this is only the 2nd holiday we've been on alone so we were able to sightsee, and shop and explore almost every day. The street food there is absolutely fresh and delicious and so cheap!!!!
Ladies; do your research, stick with reputable companies as you would with anything. But if you really want to spoil yourself and have an amazingly eye-opening one in a lifetime experience, I recommend Destination Beauty and would do it all again tomorrow if I could!! :)
