Denny57 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 My journey is almost over. I fly out tomorrow night. After months of research on this forum I stumbled upon Moira (A Registered Nurse) from Truly Medical Getaways in Perth. Thank goodness I did. Initially I was very anxious about the whole process, I am 58 and travelling overseas to have major surgery, what was I thinking. I spoke at length with Moira and decided to go with her group for 15 May. Decided on Dr Thanakom. Unfortunately Moira didn't have enough bookings for the dates I needed so just booked everything through Truly Medical anyway and had a friend travel with me. I cannot fault the skill of Dr Thanakom, I had a facelift, neck lift, 4 lids Blepharoplasty and a mole cut from the side of my face. The care I received at PIAC and the reassurance of having Moira available to speak with no matter what hour of the day. Any concerns I could just call her send pictures and was advised whether all was ok or get it checked. I have read many times on this forum of people going alone but I am so glad that I had my friend with me and Moira on speed dial. Total cost inclusive of flights and accommodation for myself and friend and surgery $16,328 I had a quote from a plastic surgeon at home of $28,000 exclusive of Anaesthetist or hospital cost. My best advice I can give is to prepare well, I had facials and always used good facial skin care products. Made sure I was in the best health possible. No alcohol for a month prior to surgery and definitely no smoking. I consulted my GP before I left and had blood test etc to make sure all was ok.

natty Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 I second Dr Thanakom.. My forehead lift and 4 eye plasty was done a day before yours I think.. Awesome results and nothing but good to say about piac... I went alone and booked direct with the hospital. Any before and after pics Denny?

Minx Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Hi Denny, so happy to hear of your great results! Like Natty i'm also curious to see your before and after shots (I've sent you a FR). I'm seriously thinking of going back to Phuket, specifically PIAC to get a mid face lift and upper bleph... there's nothing graceful about growing old with wrinkles lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
