Cosmetic Surgery and a 5 star Vacation for under $5000? By Brittany West - Tuesday, August 25, 2009

What?  That’s exactly what I was thinking when I read such a headline.  Thailand is becoming increasingly popular for “Cosmetic Vacations.” Offering breast augmentation, Rhinoplasty, Face lifts, liposuction and much more at up to 70% lower than in Canada the U.S and Australia all with a little R&R at a 5 star resort to make your recovery as comfortable as possible.

My second thought was that the surgeons must not be as well trained as those in our home countries or there must be a catch, but I was soon to find out that this is not the case. Many Thai plastic surgeons spend as much or more time in training as their American counterparts and are often American board certified.  Although there have been many successful testimonials from Thailand, there will always be risks as in any other country and it is very important to do as much research as possible.  Thailand is able to offer these great prices as the cost of living is quite low and the exchange rate from AUD, CAD and USD to THB is so great.

If you have been considering a fuller cup size, a brighter smile or a smaller tummy but wince at the price, Thailand might be something to consider.  Below are a few web links with more information.
