Expert Tips from Mariia

Verify surgeon expertise

Research your surgeon’s experience with the procedure you’re considering. Ask how many similar operations they’ve performed and request before-and-after photos from patients with comparable goals. For example, MTF and FTM surgeries require different expertise, and although Thailand is a global leader in these procedures, experience levels still vary widely between surgeons.

Plan extended recovery abroad

Plan for a realistic recovery timeline abroad. Procedures like SRS and FFS often require 2–3 weeks minimum before flying home, plus follow-up appointments. Many clinics offer recovery packages — compare what's included before booking.

Check procedure-specific credentials

Confirm that the clinic is properly qualified for your treatment. For example, for IVF, verify the clinic's success rates for your age group and confirm they follow protocols for embryo handling and transport if needed. Ask about communication during the process, especially if treatment spans multiple visits.
