How it works

Bookimed is free for patients – clinics pay us a commission, and you pay the clinic its own price with no markup. Five steps to your lip flip in Thailand:

  1. Share your case

    Tell us about your goals and share photos of your lips from the front at rest and smiling, and from the side.

  2. Get treatment plans

    Your coordinator finds clinics that match your needs and helps you choose. Your preferred clinics then send personalized treatment plans and quotes for you to compare.

  3. Plan your trip

    We set treatment dates that work for you and help arrange your flights and accommodation.

  4. Visit the clinic

    The clinic team performs your lip flip on the agreed date. We support you throughout your trip.

  5. Back home

    You fly home the same or the next day, and results develop over 8–15 days. Your coordinator stays in touch and helps arrange a follow-up if you need one.

Some clinics ask for a deposit. A $200 or €200 deposit paid through Bookimed comes off your clinic bill and is refundable up to 10 calendar days before your visit. A deposit paid to the clinic follows its own terms.

Lip Flip recovery timeline: what to expect week by week

You can usually fly home the same or next day with your doctor's approval after an uncomplicated case. You can usually return to desk work the same or next day, though minor redness or swelling may briefly remain. Strenuous exercise is usually avoided for about 24 hours, while light activity is usually fine sooner. The final result develops over 8–15 days.

  1. First hours to 1 day

    If your case is uncomplicated, you can usually fly home the same or next day with your doctor's approval. Mild redness, small bumps, or swelling may appear. Avoid rubbing or massaging the area, and strenuous exercise for about 24 hours.

  2. Days 3–14

    Your upper lip starts to relax and turn outward, with the full effect developing at about 2 weeks. You may temporarily find straws or certain sounds difficult.

  3. Weeks 6–12

    The effect gradually wears off as muscle activity returns.

When to contact your clinic: Seek emergency help for difficulty breathing. Contact your clinic if you have trouble swallowing or talking, or weakness beyond your lip. For chest pain or sudden breathlessness after a long flight, seek emergency help locally.

Traveling to Thailand for a Lip Flip

Plan to stay in Thailand after the procedure for “Same or next day” before your flight home. US and UK passport holders can stay in Thailand without a visa for up to 30 days, and a longer medical stay may need a medical-treatment visa.

When What happens
Before the procedure Arrival, consultation and agreed tests
Up to 1 day after Flight home

Before you fly

  • Visa. US and UK passport holders get visa-free stays for up to 30 days. A longer medical stay may need a medical-treatment visa. US tourists staying under 60 days must register online before arrival. Foreign visitors need an e-Arrival Card.
  • Passport. The US Department of State strongly recommends that your US passport be valid for at least 6 months beyond arrival. Your UK passport must expire at least 6 months after arrival and have at least 1 blank page.
  • Medicines. US travelers should carry prescription medication in its original packaging with their doctor's prescription. UK prescriptions are usually accepted by hospitals and pharmacies in Thailand. The legal status and regulation of some UK medicines can differ there.
  • Hand luggage. The clinic asks for front photos of your face at rest and your smiling lips, side and three-quarter lip photos, a list of previous lip injections or fillers, and your history of botulinum toxin reactions.

Getting there and staying

  • Airports. Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is 25 km from downtown Bangkok. Don Mueang Airport (DMK) is 23 km from the Grand Palace.
  • Flight time. Bangkok is about 11–12 hours from London and about 16–17 hours from New York by air. A connection adds time.
  • Emergency. In a medical emergency, call 191 and ask for an ambulance.

When to go

  • Weather. In Bangkok, average daytime highs are about 31 °C in September–January and about 35 °C in April–May. The wettest months, with 100 mm of rain or more, are May–October.
  • Season. November through February is relatively drier, making it the less rainy period for a recovery trip, though it remains hot. April and May are hotter, and May through October brings heavy rain.

Insurance and changes

  • Health cover. US travelers should make sure their health insurance covers them overseas. Medicare and Medicaid do not apply overseas. UK travelers cannot use a UK GHIC or EHIC in Thailand.
  • Hospital payment. All hospitals in Thailand require a guarantee of payment before treating patients.

Flying home

  • Fit to fly. After an uncomplicated case, you can usually fly home the same or next day with your doctor's approval.
  • Take home. After the procedure, you should receive copies of your medical records and discharge instructions.

The team followed through on every detail discussed
Sitting in the consultation room while the surgeon explained the precise use of 50-100 million umbilical cord stem cells gave me a clear sense of the technical path ahead. Fifteen days after the treatment, I am already noticing some improvement in my overall physical state. The application was smooth, and I experienced no injection site reactions or inflammatory flare-ups afterward. Recovery is just beginning. Every interaction with the clinic staff was handled with professional efficiency, ensuring that the logistical side of the medical travel was as controlled as the procedure itself. It is important to stay patient during this early window while the body starts to respond to the cells. The team followed through on every detail discussed.

If you're travelling to Bangkok and need fast and quality care, I would highly recommend using Bookimed to set up an appointment and going to B
Everything went so smoothly and I was well taken care of upon arrival. B. Care Medical Center is very clean and beautiful. The medical team were very professional and thorough and warm and welcoming. Prices were very reasonable and they went above and beyond to give me more treatment than I had asked for. Bookimed was also very easy to use, response time was quick and easy and all my questions were answered promptly. If you're travelling to Bangkok and need fast and quality care, I would highly recommend using Bookimed to set up an appointment and going to B. Care Medical Center for your medical needs.

My strongest feeling right now is one of being disappointed and scammed. The total costs nearly doubled, jumping from the $2000 USD Bookimed total to $5000 once I was at the clinic. The fractional CO2 laser treatment I received on my face and neck also wasn't what I originally requested; the doctor suggested changing it only after I had already arrived, which should have been communicated much earlier. While the clinic staff themselves were fine and have stayed in touch, the experience with the surgeon and the finances was poor. Make sure the treatment promised on Bookimed is the same one you're getting at the clinic. I would avoid this dermatologist and Wansiri.
The customer service at the clinic was great and the staff was very kind.
Patient Complaint Regarding Treatment Plan and Communication at Wansiri I am documenting my concerns regarding the communication, treatment planning, and services I received at Wansiri. Before my appointment, I specifically requested the following treatments: * Ablative CO2 laser treatment for the full face and décolletage * Ultherapy for the full face The estimated total cost discussed was approximately USD 2,000. The doctor agreed to this proposed treatment plan, and I confirmed that I wished to proceed based on that agreement. However, on the day of the scheduled treatment, the doctor informed me that she did not want to perform any CO2 laser treatment on my face. This was a significant change from the treatment plan that had previously been discussed and agreed upon. Instead, the doctor and coordinator recommended a different package consisting of: * Thermage treatment around the eyes * Ultherapy for the full face * Microneedling The revised package cost approximately USD 5,000, which was more than double the original estimate. My primary concerns were not adequately addressed. In particular: * No CO2 laser treatment was performed on my face. * No treatment was provided for my décolletage. * The crepey skin around my eyes, which was one of my main concerns, was not adequately addressed. * The treatment plan was substantially changed on the day of the procedure, after I had already traveled to and committed to receiving treatment at the clinic. * The reasons for changing the original treatment plan were not clearly explained before the appointment. * I was presented with considerably more expensive alternatives without adequate time to consider the change or seek another medical opinion. I relied on the doctor’s prior agreement when deciding to proceed with treatment at Wansiri. Had I been informed in advance that the doctor would not perform CO2 laser treatment on my face or décolletage, I could have reconsidered the appointment, consulted another provider, or made a more informed decision. As a result, I felt pressured into accepting a treatment package that was significantly more expensive than the original estimate and that did not adequately address the skin concerns for which I sought treatment. I left feeling that the communication had been misleading and that I had not received the treatment plan I had originally agreed to. I believe communication between the doctor, coordinator, and patient should be improved. Any changes to an agreed treatment plan, particularly changes involving substantially different procedures and costs, should be clearly communicated before the patient arrives for treatment. I am requesting a written explanation of: 1. Why the originally agreed CO2 laser treatment was declined on the day of treatment. 2. Why I was not informed of this change before the appointment. 3. Why no treatment was provided for my décolletage. 4. How the recommended treatments were intended to address the crepey skin around my eyes. 5. Why the final cost increased from approximately USD 2,000 to approximately USD 5,000. 6. What resolution or compensation the clinic proposes regarding the difference between the agreed treatment plan and the services ultimately provided.

I went to this clinic to get medical care. The very high price could be justified by this type of treatment. The medical team were present, but no parameters were taken either before or after the treatment. I don't think that customer satisfaction is the objective, the aim is above all to make people spend money unnecessarily. I would not recommend this clinic

From the beginning, there was a significant lack of clear communication from my Bookimed coordinator. I believe there was a failure to adequately confirm the agreed arrangements with the clinic, which seems to have directly contributed to the services and procedures I paid for not being fulfilled. I was also extremely disappointed that the doctor did not properly listen to my specific requests for my full face treatment; a significant language barrier made communication even more difficult. I proceeded based on the procedures in my Bookimed confirmation, but this did not happen. I am extremely disappointed. I feel misled about the services I booked, and this has resulted in significant additional expenses for me. While there were no extra charges from the clinic itself, I feel unfairly out of pocket after travelling so far for an agreement that was not honoured.
From the beginning of my booking through Bookimed, there has been a significant lack of clear and consistent communication from my assigned coordinator. I believe there was a failure to adequately communicate and confirm the agreed arrangements with both the hospital and, ultimately, the clinic. This lack of proper coordination appears to have directly contributed to the services and procedures that were agreed upon not being fulfilled. I believe this represents a serious failure in the coordination and handling of my booking through Bookimed, and I feel it is important that this responsibility is properly acknowledged.

It was a terrible experience which I never want to go through again. Upon arrival at the hospital, the consultant , Jeab who led me there was not present to receive me. Instead I was attended by the medical sstaff who flatly shot down the agreed quotations offered by Jeab and even said they do not need the VDO anymore so they could not offer me what Jeab did and I was told I had to pay 3 times the proce of what I was offered before. Consequent to the price dispute, there were lots of bleak moments between the consultant and the medical staff internally then I was made to wait for over two hours then they suddenly reversed to ask for VDO compromised on an agreed price. I repeated said no to revealing my face for the VDO and the secretary Kimmy assured me my face will not be shown on camera. Prior to seeing the doctor, I was told to made payment first. For every doctor consultation, I had to go to the cashier to complete the payment and I was seeing two different doctors meant I had to repeat same process twice touring the entire medical centre so many times. What was most stupid was that I was never informed that I had to pay out of pocket for the Covid-9 test which I deem really unfair when there was konsixh prior information and they just dumped all the hidden cost on me. I only did the arm Vader+body tite along with pick laser for vaginal and I was made to go from building to building spending 7 hours there the entire day is really uncalled for!!!

FAQ about Lip Flip in Thailand

What are the travel restrictions or requirements for entering Thailand for a medical procedure?

Travel requirements can vary based on current global health guidelines, so it's essential to check official Thai government websites for up-to-date information on visas, health certificates, or quarantine measures before planning your trip.

Will my health insurance cover any complications or follow-up care needed after a Lip Flip in Thailand?

Most standard health insurance policies do not cover elective cosmetic procedures abroad or related complications. It's crucial to review your policy details or consider purchasing additional travel insurance that includes medical coverage for peace of mind.

Is it easy to find accommodation near the clinic where I will have my Lip Flip procedure?

Thailand's major cities offer a wide range of accommodation options near medical facilities, from budget hotels to luxury resorts. It's advisable to book accommodations in advance and confirm proximity to your chosen clinic for convenience.

What should I do if I experience complications after returning from Thailand?

If complications arise post-procedure, contact your Thai clinic immediately for guidance. They may offer virtual consultations or coordinate with local healthcare providers to ensure you receive appropriate care promptly.

How can I verify the safety and hygiene standards of clinics offering Lip Flip in Thailand?

Ensure that the clinic is accredited by international bodies like JCI or ISAPS, which regularly audit facilities for compliance with global health standards. Additionally, look for clinics with positive patient reviews highlighting cleanliness and safety protocols.

Are there any cultural differences I should be aware of when undergoing a medical procedure in Thailand?

Thai culture emphasizes politeness and respect, so maintaining a courteous demeanor is appreciated. Understanding basic cultural norms can enhance your experience, such as addressing medical staff formally and being patient during consultations.

What should I know about aftercare and follow-up appointments once I return home?

Aftercare for a Lip Flip is minimal; however, it's essential to follow any specific instructions given by your surgeon regarding activities to avoid. Many clinics offer virtual follow-up consultations via video calls to monitor progress and address any concerns after returning home.

How long will I need to stay in Thailand for the procedure and recovery?

The Lip Flip procedure itself takes about 10-15 minutes, with minimal downtime required. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately, but it's recommended to stay at least 1-2 days post-procedure to monitor for any immediate side effects.

What are the qualifications and experience of surgeons performing Lip Flip procedures in Thailand?

Surgeons in Thailand performing Lip Flip procedures often have extensive training and certifications from reputable institutions. Many are members of international organizations like ISAPS, ensuring they meet global standards for cosmetic surgery.

Will there be a language barrier when communicating with the medical staff in Thailand?

Many Thai clinics catering to international patients have English-speaking staff and translators available to facilitate communication. It's advisable to confirm language services during your initial consultation to ensure clear understanding throughout your treatment.

How do I ensure the clinic in Thailand is reputable and follows international standards?

Verify that the clinic is accredited by organizations such as ISAPS or JCI, which ensures adherence to international safety and quality standards. Research reviews from previous patients and confirm that the clinic employs board-certified surgeons with extensive experience in cosmetic procedures.

What are the potential risks and side effects of getting a Lip Flip in Thailand?

The Lip Flip procedure involves injecting Botox to relax the muscles around the lips, which can cause temporary side effects such as swelling, bruising, or asymmetry. These effects typically resolve within a few days to a week. Although rare, there is a risk of allergic reactions or infection, emphasizing the importance of choosing a reputable clinic.
