How Much Does Panniculectomy Cost in Thailand?

The cost of panniculectomy in Thailand typically ranges from $3,200 / ฿108,800 to $4,500 / ฿153,000. Prices vary depending on the surgeon’s experience, the clinic, and the complexity of the procedure (such as the amount of excess skin removed or if combined with other surgeries). In the United States, the average price is $17,000 / ฿578,000 (per ASPS). This means panniculectomy in Thailand is about 77% less than in the U.S.

Thai clinics usually include pre-op evaluation, general anesthesia, the surgical procedure, 1–2 nights of hospital stay, compression garments, medications, and follow-up visits. In the U.S., the quoted price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with hospital charges, anesthesia, and aftercare billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included in your package before booking.

I am more than satisfied for the price and can highly recommend the clinic
The staff are very friendly and make you feel really comfortable. It is sometimes a bit difficult to communicate in the clinic as not every member of staff speaks English well, but it's not a big problem. I was very nervous before my tummy tuck but the nurse was really responsive to me. Contact is always via WhatsApp, which is very convenient. I am driven to the clinic every 2 days and the clinic covers the travel costs. Everything is also included. I am more than satisfied for the price and can highly recommend the clinic.

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.
The person dealing with me, I believe her name was Donna was very nice
I didn't make anything else very unprofessional. It was like the doctor didn't have time yet. You want to cut on me very unprofessional he was unprofessional looks sloppy. Yeah I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
About Bookimed service
Tiffany and Whitington, the coordinators were fine. Got all the information. It was the dirtiness of the hospital and the unprofessionalism of the doctor. He looks sloppy like he didn't have time like I said before he never even touched me so I paid a consultation fee for a conversation about nothing, not happy

I loved everything about my experience with Tatiana. She was fantastic! Followed up on everything for me and spent a lot of time going backwards and forwards with things. It never felt Iike a problem, she always had all the time in the world for me. The surgery went really well, I’m so happy with the results and honestly it was one of the nicest hospitals I have ever been in! The staff were all so beautiful and that was the 4th procedure I have had with Dr Chatpong now and every single procedure he has done I couldn’t be happier!

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!

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!

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

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.

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!

FAQ about Panniculectomy in Thailand

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

What are the emotional impacts of traveling abroad for a surgical procedure like Panniculectomy?

Traveling abroad for surgery can be emotionally challenging due to distance from familiar support systems and cultural differences. However, many patients find comfort in the high level of care provided by experienced staff and comprehensive support services offered by medical tourism facilities.

Will my health insurance cover any part of the procedure or related expenses in Thailand?

Coverage for procedures abroad varies widely among insurance providers; some may cover part of the costs if deemed medically necessary. It's essential to consult with your insurance company beforehand to understand what aspects of your treatment might be covered.

What happens if there are complications after the surgery while I'm still in Thailand?

If complications arise while you're still in Thailand, most hospitals provide immediate access to necessary medical care at no additional cost within the package terms. It's crucial to remain in close contact with your healthcare provider to address any issues promptly.

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

The typical stay for a panniculectomy procedure in Thailand ranges from 10-14 days. This duration allows for pre-surgery consultations, the surgical procedure itself, and sufficient time for initial post-operative recovery before traveling back home.

What kind of support is available for international patients during their stay in Thailand?

International patients often receive dedicated support services including airport transfers, accommodation arrangements, and personalized assistance throughout their stay. Many hospitals have patient coordinators who facilitate communication between patients and medical staff.

Are there any hidden costs associated with having a Panniculectomy in Thailand?

While many clinics offer comprehensive packages that cover surgery costs, hospital stays, and post-op care, it's important to inquire about additional expenses such as travel insurance, extended stays, or unforeseen complications. Always request a detailed breakdown of all potential costs before proceeding.

What should I know about the hospital facilities and standards in Thailand?

Thailand boasts several state-of-the-art medical facilities accredited by international bodies like JCI. These hospitals offer advanced technology, stringent safety protocols, and comfortable accommodations for medical tourists.

How do I handle post-operative care once I return home from Thailand?

Post-operative care after returning home typically involves follow-up consultations via video calls with your Thai surgeon. Ensure you have access to local healthcare professionals who can assist with wound care and monitor your recovery as needed.

Are there language barriers I should be concerned about when communicating with medical staff?

Many Thai hospitals catering to international patients employ English-speaking staff and offer translation services to bridge any language gaps. It's advisable to confirm these services in advance to ensure smooth communication throughout your medical journey.

What is the recovery process like after a Panniculectomy in Thailand?

Recovery from a panniculectomy typically involves a hospital stay of 1-2 days, followed by several weeks of rest at home. Patients can expect swelling and discomfort for the first few weeks, with full recovery taking up to 6-8 weeks. Adhering to post-operative instructions is essential for optimal healing.

How do I ensure the surgeon in Thailand is qualified and experienced?

To verify a surgeon's qualifications in Thailand, check if they are certified by reputable organizations such as the ISAPS or the Thai Medical Council. Many surgeons have international training and affiliations, which can be confirmed through their professional profiles and patient reviews.

What are the risks associated with undergoing Panniculectomy in Thailand?

Panniculectomy in Thailand, like any major surgery, carries risks such as infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. However, many Thai hospitals are internationally accredited by organizations like JCI, ensuring high standards of safety and care. It's crucial to discuss all potential risks with your surgeon during the consultation phase.

What is the level of medicine in Thailand?

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Thai government. The Thai authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 25 billion baht for healthcare annually.

As a result, 36,673 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. 64 centers in the Kingdom have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

What hotel service is provided here?

In the Kingdom of Thailand, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Thai hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.

When is the best time to travel to Thailand?

The main advantage of Thai resorts is the long beach season. On the east coast and west coast the climate features are different, so take it into account when planning the trip. The best time to travel is during the cool and dry season between November and early April. A large influx of tourists is in March-May, when the air temperature is +30°C.

Do I need a visa?

For now, the Kingdom of Thailand requires different visa regimens for diverse states. Some foreigners can stay in the country 60 days without visa control, some of them — only 14 days.
