Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery
Bangkok's plastic surgery hospitals and clinics perform rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, breast augmentation, liposuction and facial contouring. Check that the surgeon is board-certified by the Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons of Thailand and plan 7–14 days in the city.
Choosing a surgeon in Bangkok
- Board certification: look for membership of the Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons of Thailand.
- Hospital or clinic: major surgery under general anaesthesia is safest in a hospital with an ICU.
- Before-and-after photos: ask for results on people with features like yours.
- What's included: anaesthesia, garments, medication, follow-up visits and revision policy.
Planning your stay
Most procedures need 7–14 days before flying home. Avoid booking tours or beach trips during recovery, and arrange travel insurance that covers complications.

How long should I stay in Bangkok after surgery?
Usually 7–14 days depending on the procedure.
Is it safe to fly after plastic surgery?
Only once your surgeon clears you; long flights raise the risk of blood clots after major surgery.
