Very Satisified with Thailand Facelift

WORTH IT$5,000

At 62 years of age my face was looking old, tired and even sad with deep jowls. I just did not like looking in the mirror and decided to do something.

I had visited Thailand once before for dental work and was impressed with the quality of care and hygiene. I visited four hospitals and got about the same information from the doctors with widely varying prices, $10,000, $6,000, $5,000 and $3,500 for a face lift and lower eyelids.

I chose the hospital with the $3,500, see above and the doctor recommended a neck lift at the same time for another $1,500 for a total of $5,000.

Instead of worrying about all the things that really go wrong, I worried that they would get me mixed up with another patient (has happened before) and I would end up getting a sex change operation and no facelift. Then I would be a 62 year old, Ladyboy (as they say in Thailand) with no facelift, a terrible thought, but didn't happen.

I was in the hospital three nights, they have one nurse to two patients. They fuss over you a little bit and the international coordinator and a head nurse were very avaliable.

The biggest problem was the wireless internet was out on the 10th floor. Someone came up twice for the IT department and got me connected thru my cell phone, which worked good enough.

The food was ok, you could get special requests and I got an in room massage, from the massage department for $4.

The only problem I had was after two weeks i found one staple in my hair that hadn't been removed at my one week follow up. I wasn't in Bangkok so I went to a local hospital and had it removed. That cost me $2.!

So now 4 months later I looked much better then I ever expected and am quite happy with the results. I still have a little swelling, which is going away slowly as they told me it would.

My girlfriend does not like the results as I look like a sexy young man and too attractive to other women.

Hi Gary94578, Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm Australian travelling to Bangkok next month to have a face lift at Bumrungrad Hospital. I am so nervous. I decided to book with a company called Global Health Travel because I will be on my own. It's very daunting but reading your story makes me feel a little more relieved.

Hi Becca, I'm retired over here in Thailand now and enjoy the place. Out of Bangkok about one hour south and it is very safe. Bumrungrad is a good place and you should get top care. I was there for an ear exam etc. People are friendly and many speak some English. I was on my own at the time and tings went well. Still satisfied with the results. I was at YanHee Hospital Bangkok. Best Wishes

Hi Becca, I am planning to travel to Bangkok at the end of April for mini facelift from America. Could you share about your experience with me, please?

Hi Becca, How are you doing? I hope all went well and your recovery is speedy. I did not swell up too bad i think due to ice. The swelling went down lowly as expected. At one point I thought my face was not the same on each side and went back to see the Dr. He said wait till te swelling went down and it was fine with both sides looking good. I have read that there are some things you can do to make any scars smaller. Such as massaging the scar. I'm not sure when to start, so check with the Dr. Best Wishes Gary

4 years later and still very satisfied. Everything has help up very well. I look older then 3 years ago, But younger then 6 years ago! I would suggest checking out Yanhee Hospital, Bangkok.

5 thousand to look 3 years younger seems like a waist of money
