Procedure Was Okay, Destination Beauty, Never Again - Thailand

Hi Swizzle, welcome!

I'm sorry you've had such a bad experience. Have you been able to speak to the company about it, now that you're back home?

Myself and my daughter also went with Destination Beauty, i found them very very helpful, but i was not happy with the results of my procedures. We had Tummy tucks, breast desized, face lift, saggy fat arms removed. I loved my doc, and the staff, but as for the nurses that was a different story, i had never seen such inability to put on a banadage, every time they bandaged me it feel off, in the end my daughter had to do it and we had to continue to buy products to do so, because when i went back to complain about how the bandages were comming off all the time, thinking they would just reapply properly, i was shocked to find out i had to pay for that lol. Never mind. Anyhow, so mydelf and my daughter have lopsided bodies, as in, one side of our waist line is good after the tummy tuck but the right side on both of us is not, it sticks out and is very very obvious, so no not happy with that. My daughters tummy looks so bad compared to mine, but i must admit that i had had a tummy tuck over ten years ago here in Australia, so that helped. But her tummy tuck left her with this VERY DISTINCTIVE bubble of fat that just sits there, it dosnt really look like she had anything done, as for me, well i am also unhappy with mine, the reason is, is that when i had mine done here in Oz, i came out with a tummy tight and flat as an ironing board. It was like that woman on that tv show The Nanny. This time, i see no real difference, and when i sit down you still see rolls and it still feels flabby, so not happy. The face lift, well that too was bad, i now how one eye smaller then the other, because i also had my upper eyelids done to correct the lazy eyes. The actual face lift and neck lift seems ok, as in i look great and heaps younger, however, my cute little ears i had, are no ugly ears. The ear lobes have no curve anymore instead they are stuck onto my head and this now looks weird and gives the impression of long ears, yuk. The other complaint i have is that everything they tell you at the senimar, never happens, they told me how the face lift was going to be cut, and it said around the head and not in front of ears, and this was incorrect. The also said that if there were any problems that they would pay for our flight back there to fix it, pffff yeah right, like lets see this happen. never happened for us yet. AND lastly, they said that if you were prone to having issues with scaring, as in if you get this thing called keloid, then they were going can help you with this, that they would hit you with some kind of kemo so that this type of scaring did not happen, well i told them before that i scare like this, and i also retold the doctor about what was said to us at the senimar, so i assumed he would follow through with this, But it never happened, so i have the most ugliest huige scares on my inner arms, and this means that i can NEVER EVER wear any shirt that is not long sleeved. The scare is hideous and still can be seen if the shirt i wear is not longer then my elbow. even if i sit with my arms beside me, you can still see the top of the scare. I meet a woman who went to the doc in Phuket, she showed me her scares, they were not that good iether, but at least the position of the cuts was good, he had cut her in a position that allowed her to hid the scars most of the time. Breasts, well i now have nipples that are smaller which i like, i like the fact that i can still feel the sensations in my nipples, but...my nipples have been placed directly in line with my ears....have a look at yours. So what this means for me is that when i wear bras now, of which i have to, (cause i still have saggy breasts too, of which i didnt expect, but wont complain about that) my left nipple ALWAYS pops out or is seen, and the right nipple is sitting right on the line of the bra. The scars around my nipple and down to the undercarriage are good, but the cut under my breats, that is another story. I had Dr Pitchitt from Bangkok Hospital

I had my breast reduction there a few months ago and had the opposite experience. I was not left alone at all and I am still in contact with my rep and doctor - Dr. Dalip. The hospital was first rate - large private room and staff constantly looking after me (all spoke English). I did not even feel as though I had surgery - no pain or complications. This was one of the most surprisingly pleasant experiences I had as I was really concern about having surgery.

Hi Everyone Sorry to hear all your problems. I am very different. I can say only great things about both Dr Pichart at the Bangkok hospital and also Destination Beauty. I had a mjd face and neck lift by Dr Pichart 2 weeks ago. Unbelievably happy. The hospital was amazingly clean, rooms huge with fridges microwaves, spare bed for family, tv even great room service menu. The morning of my appointment the nurses never left me for one minute. Because I was over 50 Dr Pitchat wanted chest exrays and ecg done. All done with results within 20 minutes and no extra charge. The lovely nurse walked me to each appointment and stayed with me the whole time. After I woke up and was taken back to my room i was feeling sick I had drugs at every point put into my intravenious tube for all my pain and nausea. Dr Pritcht came around the next morning at 10am to see me and said I could go home but he wanted to see me the next day just see how I was going. On day 9 I went back for stitches and clamps to be taken out and saw Dr Pitchard again. He is the nicest doctor with great bedside manner. My face felt extremly tight and i cant turn my head easily with out feeling tightness but he said that if this wasnt the case now he hasn't done a very good job. He said every day will get better and he is right it is. It is day 15 today and most of the bruising has gone but still some swelling on my cheeks and side of my face but looking better every day. My scar in front of my ears is very slight . I have been rubbing bio oil on my scars from day 6 and looks great. I will be able to put my hair behind my ears and put a little bit of make up on them and no one would ever know. So everyone if your are considering anything to do with your face I would highly recommend Dr Ptchard at the Bangkok hospital. I met a lady when I was getting my stitches out who had had full face lift 7 days earlier than me and she couldn't fault either doctor or hospital either. Best of luck everyone.

Hi did u have the surgery done in Bangkok! I think me & my friend met u over there when your mum was having trouble with her tummy tuck!
