Plastic surgery

After you arrive in Phuket you will visit your surgeon for your first appointment. This appointment is for the doctor to determine that you are in good health and prepared for your treatment. Your doctor will also discuss the details of your treatment with you, and finally, set the date and time for it. If the treatment is to be an operative one, your doctor will perform a blood test, and your blood pressure and pulse will be taken. If you are over 50 you will also have a heart stress test, by running on a treadmill. Please inform your doctor of any allergies or medical conditions you may have.

You will be asked to sign a consent form allowing the hospital to perform the required surgery.

Before going in for surgery, here are a few guidelines for you.
If you have any conditions that requires more specific details, we will let you know in advance.

• If you will be having a general anesthetic, please do not eat or drink anything 6 hours
  prior to your surgery.
  
• If you will be having a local anesthetic, please do not eat anything 6 hours prior to your
  surgery. However, you may drink clear fluids, such as water, tea, or coffee, until 2 hours
  prior to the surgery. Alcohol is prohibited.
  
• Prepare a small overnight bag to take to the hospital.
  
• Do not take any jewelry except a watch if you so require.
  
• Please remove all piercings, even in areas that will not be treated by the surgery.
  
• If you are on any medication, please make sure you bring it with you to the hospital so
  that you can continue your course, and present it to your anesthetist before the surgery.
  
• If you are wearing contact lenses and having a general anesthetic, you will be asked to
  remove them. It is advised that you bring regular glasses if you will be having surgery
  involving your eyes or the area around them.

On the day of your surgery, we can arrange with a driver to pick you up at your hotel to take you to the hospital. When you arrive you will be taken to your private room. The nurses will make the final preparations for the surgery. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them.

After the surgery you will be kept under observation at the hospital for one or two days (except for surgery under local anaestetia) as a standard procedure. Your partner or friend may stay with you at the hospital for as long as you are in the hospital. After this period you will have a final meeting with your surgeon where he will give you instructions for your post-surgery care. Please feel free to ask your surgeon any questions you may have. A date will be set for a follow-up appointment with your surgeon.

After this you will be discharged from the hospital and your driver will take you back to your hotel.

Back home

Once you are back at home, you will be able to contact your surgeon directly by phone and e-mail. This is so that you can return home confident that you will receive all necessary post-surgery care in your home country.
