If you've ever dreamt of a permanent change, Phuket is the place to make it happen. Thailand is becoming a world leader in the field of plastic surgery and Phuket is one of the Kingdom's major centres. Phuket's highly skilled plastic surgeons can make you look like you've always wanted to, using the latest techniques and technology. And once you've recovered you can really show off the new you at one of the beautiful beaches or hot night spots.
More and more people are choosing Phuket as a venue for cosmetic surgery, and with good reason. Plastic surgery performed abroad means less embarrassment and social stigma, as well as being far less expensive than the same procedure at home.
Consider this: the average cost of breast augmentation in America is about USD 3,350 and that's just for the physician's fees; to say nothing of anesthetic, medical facility fees, tests and prescriptions. When you take all of that into account the cost spirals up to as high as USD 6,000. In the UK, the cost is roughly ? 5,000 and in Germany the average price tag is about € 3,400. Compare that to the same surgery in Phuket, which costs about USD 3,000, inclusive of all fees. Factor in the cost of a round trip plane ticket and accommodation and the cost is still less than it would be in the states with the added bonus of a vacation in world famous Phuket. Now you can begin to understand why Phuket is fast becoming a medical hub of Asia.
Of course, your first concern when considering elective surgery should not be the price, but the quality of care you will receive. Rest assured that Phuket plastic surgeons provide a level of care that is as good as anywhere in the world. Most Thai doctors spend a considerable amount of time overseas, studying and practicing with the leaders in their fields.
The facilities in Thai hospitals are to international standards, with fully modern equipment and affiliations with international medical organizations. All are ISO certified to provide you confidence and peace of mind.
Male to female gender reassignment surgery (MTF GRS) is a complicated, difficult and intimidating procedure. Fortunately, it is one that Phuket doctors are very conversant with. Thailand is one of the best places in the world to have this life changing procedure done, not only because of the doctors' high level of experience, but because of Thailand's tolerant culture.
The phenomenon of being a woman trapped in a man's body is nothing new here. In fact, katoeys (ladyboys) are a long-standing and accepted part of society. Phuket is a place where you can feel free to speak honestly and openly about your needs without fear of being judged or ridiculed. The doctors will be attentive and understanding about your problem and will do everything in their power to make who you are on the outside match who you are on the inside. It's a perfect place to go on holiday and come back with more than a sun tan.
