Kiley Stroman • Liposuction Australia Jan 25, 2025
But overall I'm really happy with my experience with the ID Clinic team ☺️
Ice was one of the nurses who collected me from the airport. She was so kind for waiting nearly two hours for me due to a delay I had. She helped me so much after my surgery too. Another nurse Marge was wonderful. She helped with translation and my aftercare, she was so gentle when helping take out my stitches. I thank all of the nursing staff, they were all wonderful in their own way and treated me very well. I wish I could have spoken with the doctor more, he always seemed in a rush, I know he is a very busy man but if he could slow down just a bit it would help the patient care factor improve. But overall I'm really happy with my experience with the ID Clinic team ☺️ I only took two pictures of the inside of my overnight room, the clinic was very clean and comfortable and beautiful 🙏
The staff and nurses were exceptional!
Not enough conversation with the doctor, he seemed in a hurry
About Bookimed service
The Bookimed staff were always quick to reply and were amazing at searching through all of the student clinics to give me the best options for what I needed. I felt confident in booking my procedure with their helpPeter Tin Shouk Fong • Rhinoplasty (nose job) Australia Dec 1, 2024
I'm very impressed with the outcome
I'm very impressed with the outcome. Bookimed assistant was helpful and arrange a virtual consultation with the consultant. While English was not his strong fort, his expertise made up for it. The staff, especially Margi was extremely valuable as she speaks fluently English. Her knowledge and expertise was well appreciated as well as her care and attentiveness. The staff was nice. I did rhinoplasty and liposuction and I'll very impressed with the outcome. Post op care was provided. The nose did not hurt post op in comparison with the liposuction, which was quite uncomfortable. Not painful, numb and tender I suppose. As to the cost, it's fairly competitive.
The expertise
More English speakers would have been nice.
About Bookimed service
I like how bookimed was who set me up with the clinic. Otherwise I wouldn't have know about it. Valeriia Markova • Breast augmentation Canada Mar 17, 2025
100% recommend this clinic
On 19.02.2025 I had breast augmentation surgery. Beforehand, I received a detailed consultation from professionals Dr Anychit Kitsombud, Dr Elena Goldobenko and nurse Maricor. The doctor helped with the choice of size and shape of implants, told me in detail about the operation, consequences, recovery process, gave clear recommendations. The surgery was easy, the medical staff was always in touch, they helped, cared. Dr Elena is always in touch, controls the recovery process, gives recommendations. Definitely, the choice of this clinic was the right decision for this operation. I am very happy with the result. 100% recommend this clinic. Professionalism, safety, care - B Care!
Outcome, competence of medical staff, cleanliness and safety
There's no such thing
Anonymous • Rhinoplasty (nose job) United Kingdom Mar 15, 2025
I'm still healing from my surgery but so far I'm very happy with the result and would recommend the hospital and clinic, and would like to reassure anyone going abroad that you'll be in good hands!
Had a rhinoplasty at B care hospital and the care the team provided was amazing. Just wanted to write this to reassure anyone looking into it, as my family were concerned about me heading out to Thailand to have the procedure as a lot of families would be.
The hospital and clinic were sparkling clean. The co-ordinator, nurse and doctor were all just lovely and very attentive to my needs. There was no difficulty communicating with the doctor who went through exactly what would be done during the procedure.
One thing I was happy about was the 2 nights in hospital - other places I looked at only gave you one night, or even home the same day. Being sleepy after the surgery, I wouldn't have wanted to go back to my accom the same day. I was grateful I had the lovely nurse Mariko looking after me. Also the room at the hospital was lovely - spacious and bright with a nice en suite and all the facilities you would need.
I also realised I had tonsillitis on the day I left the hospital (I think I got it before I even had the surgery) and the team were very caring and made sure I had all the medications I needed for that too, before going back to my accommodation.
I'm still healing from my surgery but so far I'm very happy with the result and would recommend the hospital and clinic, and would like to reassure anyone going abroad that you'll be in good hands! Bookimed were also really good at keeping in touch and my coordinator Marsela was patient while I took my time to decide if I was going to go ahead with the procedure in the first place, and was always there to answer any questions I had. All very much appreciated!
Jack Holton • Mini Facelift United States of America Jan 31, 2025
We’re probably happy
The process was far more involved than we expected, however, we didn’t know what to expect. We’re probably happy. We didn’t realize that is a rather substantial procedure.
The medical testing part takes almost an entire day, so don’t plan anything else on that day. Surgery takes about a half day and you’ll be wiped out the following day as well, so no plans is a good idea. You’ll wear a compression sleeve around your face for over a week, so we packed lightweight, hooded sun, shirts, and that worked well.
we had our sutures removed at eight days, but 10 days would’ve been better, so you have to plan at least 10 days after your surgery before you leave Bangkok.
YAROSLAV SHCHERBATIUK • Gynaecomastia Cambodia Feb 7, 2023
Everything went very easily, the case when you are dealing with highly qualified specialists
Hello everyone, There was a problem with gynecomastia in the left breast. I saw an advertisement from the “bookimed” campaign on the Internet, after which I read the reviews (which aroused confidence) and contacted “Bookimed”, the company's managers were sympathetic to my situation and coordinated with Elena who works at B.care medical clinic (in Bangkok) . Elena clearly and clearly explained how we can eliminate this problem, after which I came for a consultation, having done an ultrasound scan, sent blood tests and after consulting with Elena and a Thai surgeon, gynecomastia in the left breast was confirmed, it was decided to operate. I arrived at the clinic on the morning of the operation, Elena and a team of Thai nurses prepared everything clearly and after 2-3 hours the doctor began the operation under local anesthesia, the operation lasted 1 hour + -, everything was professional, Elena's support was present even during the operation (tk I didn’t sleep), after the operation, I spent one more day at the hospital in the clinic (the room is very comfortable, the conditions and communication from the staff are at a high level - shower, food, cleaning, Elena and nurses visit to control my condition). Everything went very easily, the case when you are dealing with highly qualified specialists. Elena, thank you for organizing and coordinating the preparatory, operational and postoperative working moments and for maintaining morale during the operation!
About Bookimed service
I thank the Bookimed campaign for clear and timely coordination!Anonymous • Breast augmentation Ukraine Sep 6, 2023
I had my surgery at B.care on Bukimed's recommendation.
Before the surgery, I asked the doctor 3 times what complications there could be, but the interpreter and (assistant surgeon) "did not understand the question" said that there could be problems "ONLY if I do not do massage after surgery.
After my breast augmentation, my pocket tore and my implant went down.
The doctor told me to wear a rubber band from the post-operative underwear - on top, which provoked the breast drooping even more. Then I was taken to the breast correction, which was done under local anesthesia, just injected the breast with Ledocoin, cut the stitches, tightened and sewed back. It was very painful and I experienced a huge amount of stress that I still remember to this day. This kind of surgery should be under general anesthesia.
After the correction, I have again lowered one breast, of course, not so much, but still, very ugly looks. Also initially the doctor placed the implants very low, because of this there is little volume on top, it looks like not round but drop-shaped implant (which does not fit my body type).
All postoperative rules and recommendations and followed, wore underwear and massages.
The doctor said that this is because I "lay on the chest" shifting the responsibility on me. But, to surf I was allowed in 2.5 months, and there you need to lie on the chest. I learned about the fact that you can not lie on the chest for a year, when I had a torn pocket.
I do not recommend the clinic and the surgeon. Very disappointed.
Anonymous • Rhinoplasty (nose job) Canada Dec 23, 2024
I just loved it very much
I was so pleased to choose this connection and this clinic for my nose job , the Doctor and staff they were beyond helpful, to make this much more comfortable for me .
The best was only one building between my hotel to stay which also was perfect to stay 👌 and clinic .
I couldn't believe how it could be very convenient to visit the doctor after surgery.
I just loved it very much .
And very appreciate of bookiimed.com 😊😊😊
The distance between hotel and clinic made very happy 😊
Absolutely nothing.
Every things was perfect 🥰
Anonymous • Liposuction Australia Nov 5, 2024
Thank you ID Clinic, I highly recommend
I am happy with the expertise provided by the doctor. He understood and have my needs by explaining his technique in tummy tuck and liposuction and compared other techniques he has used before. Shout out to Ice and Marj who went above and beyond to put me at ease with my procedures. The hotel inclusive of the package was a great touch in being closer to the doctor for pain relief and further enquiries. The doctor structured procedures in different days to ensure that the body can heal between procedures. I will be happy with the result once scarring and swelling have subsided. Thank you ID Clinic, I highly recommend.
That doctor has been in practice for long and knew the best technique to use.
The lack in providing a clear structure of what to expect post healing of which a checklist can be provided to the patient abd provide assurance and further understanding.

How Much Does Top surgery Cost in Thailand?
The average cost of top surgery in Thailand ranges from $2,500 to $7,000 (฿84,000–฿236,000), depending on the procedure type, the surgeon’s expertise, and the clinic’s location. Female-to-male (FTM) top surgery typically costs between $4,500 and $7,000 (฿152,000–฿236,000), while male-to-female (MTF) breast augmentation ranges from $2,500 to $5,000 (฿84,000–฿168,500). Costs in Bangkok are generally 10%–15% lower than in Phuket because of the latter’s resort location and limited competition.
The offers for top surgery in Thailand can include general anesthesia, consultation with a surgeon, preoperative tests, post-op medications, compression garments, follow-up examination, language assistance, airport-hotel-clinic transfers, and hospitalization with meals provided by a nutritionist. Some clinics offer additional procedures like liposuction, areola reduction, and body contouring.
For comparison, top surgery costs in the USA range from $9,000 to $15,000 (฿303,000–฿524,000). In Australia, costs range from $7,000 to $11,000 (฿236,000–฿371,000). Thailand offers savings of up to 70%, even after factoring in travel expenses.
The cost of flights to Thailand is not included in top surgery packages. A round-trip ticket from major cities like Los Angeles, London, or Sydney starts at $300 to $600 (฿10,000–฿20,000), depending on the season and airline.
This price research is based on updated and verified costs from Bookimed partner clinics in Thailand.

I chose not to use the services at all. I was working with book med for months looked at the pictures of the hospital, but when I got there and actually saw the hospital, it was dirty. The room where you take. The pictures looks dirty unorganized so what would the operating room look like? I pay the consultant fee, but the doctor never touched me. Never put his hands on me. Just looked at my pictures and I'm in the room so you need to fix that.

FAQ about Top surgery in Thailand
What is top surgery?
Top surgery is a gender-affirming procedure for transgender and non-binary individuals. It modifies chest appearance to align with one's gender identity. Transmasculine top surgery (female-to-male) involves removing breast tissue and contouring the chest. Transfeminine individuals may undergo breast augmentation. The surgery aims to alleviate gender dysphoria and enhance quality of life. Results can dramatically improve self-image and confidence.
However, it's a major medical procedure requiring careful consideration and planning. If you're looking into top surgery, Thailand offers some of the world's most experienced surgeons and high-quality facilities.
Why should I opt for top surgery?
✅ Gender-affirming surgery #1. Trans people opt for top surgery twice as often as for bottom (genital) surgery. Over 50% of transgender men and women are interested in pursuing it. Chest appearance is a key factor in gender expression. Top surgery provides immediate, visible results through a less complex and expensive procedure.
✅ Proven mental health benefits. Studies show that 86% to 100% of patients experience reduced gender dysphoria after top surgery. It enhances self-confidence, improves emotional well-being, and reduces social anxiety.
✅ Eliminates daily discomfort. For trans men, top surgery removes the need for chest binders, preventing breathing issues and musculoskeletal pain. For trans women, breast augmentation creates a natural feminine silhouette and allows to do away with padded bras and breast forms.
Who is a good candidate for top surgery?
Good candidates for top surgery typically possess the following characteristics:
✅ Adults aged 18 or older
✅ Transgender men and women, as well as non-binary individuals, experiencing persistent gender dysphoria
✅ Mentally stable with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
✅ In good overall physical health with an acceptable Body Mass Index (BMI)
✅ Non-smokers or those willing to quit before surgery
✅ Living in their affirmed gender role for a significant period
✅ Have a supportive network of family or friends
✅ Fully understand the procedure, its effects, risks, and limitations
✅ Evaluated by a mental health professional who can provide a letter confirming the patient’s readiness for the procedure

What top surgery techniques do doctors use in Thailand?
Thai surgeons employ a variety of top surgery techniques, choosing according to each patient's unique needs, anatomy, and skin quality.
🚹 FTM top surgery
Techniques for female-to-male top surgery (or FTM mastectomy surgery) in Thailand include:
1. Double incision with a free nipple graft
Double incision is the most common FTM top surgery method for trans men with moderate to large breasts. The surgeon makes two horizontal incisions, removes breast tissue and excess skin, contours the chest, and repositions nipples. It results in a flat chest but may lead to some scarring and potential changes in nipple sensation.
2. Periareolar technique
Ideal for smaller chest sizes (A or B cup), this FTM top surgery method involves incisions around the areola. It leaves minimal scarring and often preserves nipple sensation, though some trans men may need revisions for complete chest flatness.
3. Keyhole top surgery
This surgical technique is reserved for very small breasts with good skin elasticity. It uses a small incision along the lower areola border. Keyhole FTM surgery offers minimal scarring but has limited applicability.
4. Inverted T or T-anchor
Suitable for larger chests, this female-to-male top surgery method preserves nipple attachment and sensation. It creates a natural contour but may not achieve complete flatness.
5. Buttonhole technique
Similar to the inverted T but with less scarring, this FTM top surgery method works well for trans men with medium-sized chests. It balances tissue removal with nipple preservation.
6. Fishmouth or "Batwing" incision
This unique approach creates a distinctive and more visible scar pattern, appealing to some non-binary individuals. It offers good chest flatness and sensation preservation.
🚺 MTF top surgery
Breast augmentation for transfeminine patients involves the placement of implants to increase breast volume and improve shape.
Options include:
- Saline implants filled with sterile salt water post-insertion. They require smaller incisions and are less expensive.
- Silicone implants pre-filled with silicone gel. They offer a softer, more natural feel and better texture.
What is the cost of top surgery in Thailand?
The cost of FTM top surgery in Thailand ranges from $4,500 to $7,000, while MTF top surgery costs $2,500 to $5,000. Prices depend on the surgeon’s expertise, hospital, and surgical technique.
In comparison, FTM top surgery in the USA costs $9,000 to $15,000, while MTF top surgery costs $9,000 to $13,000. That means Thailand offers savings of up to 70% compared to the United States.
❗Keep in mind that in the US, prices often only include the surgeon’s fee. Consultations, anesthesia, hospital charges, and aftercare add thousands more to the total cost. On the other hand, Thai clinics offer all-inclusive packages.

How to find the best sex reassignment surgery specialists in Thailand?
To find the best gender surgeons in Thailand for chest reconstruction:
- Look for a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience and qualifications in reconstructive surgery.
- Verify the credentials and certifications of reconstructive surgeons. Ensure they are recognized by reputable medical boards and have specialized training in gender surgery.
- Read top surgery reviews from previous patients for firsthand insights into a surgeon's expertise, patient satisfaction, and the quality of post-operative care.
- Ask for before and after photos to see examples of the surgeon’s work to assess the quality and outcomes of their work.
What are the requirements for top surgery in Thailand?
Requirements for top surgery in Thailand can vary depending on the clinic and whether it adheres to WPATH guidelines or the informed consent model. However, it's common for Thai gender surgeons to request:
- A letter from a licensed psychologist recommending surgery.
- Proof of hormone therapy for at least one year (prescription or doctor's letter).
- A series of pre-surgery tests, including a chest X-ray, EKG, complete blood count (CBC), blood sugar levels, HIV status, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), urinalysis (UA), kidney function (Bun/Cr), electrolytes, and liver function tests (LFT).
Some plastic surgery clinics may have additional or fewer requirements. It's best to check with your chosen surgeon for their specific protocols.
How should I prepare for top surgery?
🩺 Health & medication
- Stop smoking and alcohol at least 2–4 weeks before surgery to improve healing.
- Your surgeon may advise stopping certain medications, such as blood thinners, aspirin, or hormone therapy, 2–4 weeks before surgery.
- Fill any pain medications and antibiotics beforehand, so you have them ready post-op.
- Maintain a balanced diet rich in protein and vitamins.
🏡 Home preparation
- Set up your recovery space by keeping essentials within easy reach—phone, water, medications, and snacks.
- Move bathroom necessities to waist level to avoid reaching overhead.
- Precook simple, nutritious meals that are easy to reheat, as movement will be limited in the first few days.
🤝 Support system
- You won't be able to drive home after surgery, so arrange for a ride or caregiver.
- Daily tasks like cooking and cleaning will be difficult at first. Ask a friend, family member, or partner for help during the initial recovery period.
- Consider joining a peer support group or consulting a therapist to navigate the emotional aspects of surgery.
What steps does top surgery in Thailand involve?
Here is an approximate breakdown of how your visit to Thailand for top surgery will look like:
🗓️Day 1: Arrival. Upon arriving in Thailand, you'll settle into your accommodation. This day is for acclimating to the new environment and resting after travel.
🗓️Day 2: Pre-operative assessments. The day begins with an initial consultation with your doctor to discuss your surgical goals and confirm the surgical plan. If not conducted previously, pre-operative assessments and screenings will follow to ensure your fitness for surgery.
🗓️Day 3: Surgery. The surgery itself, typically performed under general anesthesia, takes 2-3 hours.
🗓️Day 4: Post-operative recovery in hospital. You’ll spend about one night in the hospital under observation to manage pain, prevent complications, and start the initial recovery.
🗓️Days 5-10: Discharge and initial recovery period. You will stay nearby for a few days after being discharged. During this time, the surgeon will monitor your recovery, remove drains if placed, and assess the surgical site. This phase includes follow-up visits to the clinic.
🗓️Day 11: Return home. Once cleared by the doctor, you can return home. Travel is usually safe at this stage, provided there are no complications.
🗓️Weeks to months after surgery. Doctors can often conduct further follow-ups virtually.
How long will the recovery from this surgical procedure take?
Recovery from both female-to-male and male-to-female top surgery generally takes about 6 weeks before patients can fully engage in physical activities.
⏳ The first 3 weeks are critical; during this period, patients need to take it easy, as they'll face the most restrictions and experience the highest levels of discomfort and swelling.
⏳ Most patients can expect to return to work within 1 to 2 weeks after the surgery, but they'll still need to manage some limitations as they heal.
⏳ Scars may take up to 12 months to heal completely.
What does post-op self-care involve?
🚫 Activity restrictions
- You'll need to sleep on your back for at least a week to avoid pressure on your chest.
- For the first 2–3 weeks, do not lift your arms above your head or lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk.
- Walking can resume after a few weeks, while sports, running, and heavy lifting should wait 6–8 weeks.
🛁 Hygiene & scar care
- Showers are not allowed until cleared by your surgeon—use sponge baths or baby wipes instead.
- Once the incisions heal, scar treatments like silicone gels or sheets can help reduce redness and improve long-term appearance.
🗓️ Long-term healing
- A healthy diet, hydration, and rest will speed up your recovery.
- Avoid smoking and alcohol.
- Listen to your body—pushing yourself too soon can increase swelling and prolong recovery.
What are the possible risks and complications of top surgery?
- Scarring. Scars may take up to 18 months to fade and could be pronounced, depending on the surgery type.
- Hematoma. Occurs in about 1-2% of cases, causing pain, swelling, and increased infection risk.
- Seroma. Fluid accumulation under the skin which might resolve on its own or require drainage.
- Infection. Rare but possible, requiring antibiotics and drainage.
- Nipple graft breakdown. Risk of tissue necrosis if nipples are repositioned, potentially needing additional surgery.
- Reduced nipple sensitivity. Nerve damage during surgery can lead to permanent changes in sensation.
