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
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 help
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 😊
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.
About Bookimed service
Bookimed response time was efficient and they communicated to the clinics which they had referred me to about my concerns and pricing. They provided me with 5% off and $100US from procedures from referals that I gave. A middle person is required to advocate for me during tough healing situations.
For real I have 0 complaint at all! Highly recommend!
Travelled all the way from Singapore to Thailand because of the great reviews I read online. Here's what I experienced: There was no pain at all during the surgery. By day 6, I was moving around just fine (I did my surgery on a Saturday and flew back to Singapore the following Friday with no issues, even while carrying my luggage). By day 9, all the pain was gone, and I could carry my heavy school bag to school the whole day without any problem. I was honestly quite surprised at how fast I recovered, especially after reading that some people take one to three months to fully recover. That's one of the main reasons I recommend this clinic. The breast implants turned out really well. For real I have 0 complaint at all! Highly recommend!
Today is the 9th day from the day of my surgery and I’m alrdy recovered from the painfulness.

All You Need to Know about Male to female (MTF) surgery in Thailand
What is male-to-female (MTF) surgery?
Male-to-female (MTF) surgery is a type of sex reassignment surgery. It involves medical procedures that transform the physical appearance and functional abilities of a transgender woman's body to align with her gender identity. It can include various surgeries such as facial feminization, breast augmentation, and vaginoplasty.
MTF surgery plays a crucial role in alleviating gender dysphoria for transgender women. Gender dysphoria is the distress that may occur when there is a discrepancy between a person's gender identity and the sex assigned at birth. Such surgeries can reduce psychological stress and significantly improve self-esteem, happiness, and life satisfaction.
Remarkably effective, sex reassignment surgeries yield unprecedented satisfaction rates— according to the Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 99.7% of patients are happy with their surgical outcomes.

What types of MTF sex change surgery are available in Thailand?
Thailand’s expertise in male-to-female (MTF) transformations is undisputable, with the beauty of Thai transgender women being well-known around the world.
Bookimed partners with gender-affirming clinics in Thailand that provide a comprehensive range of MTF surgeries for a variety of transgender women’s needs.
Here are the main types of surgeries available:
Top Surgery (Breast Augmentation)
This type of gender reassignment surgery involves the placement of breast implants to create a more traditionally feminine chest. A transgender patient can choose between two main types of implants:
1️⃣Saline breast implants. These contain sterile salt water. Saline implants are generally less expensive and require smaller incisions because they are filled after being inserted.
2️⃣Silicone breast implants. Known for their soft, natural feel, silicone breast implants are pre-filled and provide a more realistic texture.
Bottom Surgery (Genital Surgery)
MTF bottom surgery includes several types of surgeries aimed at transforming the genitalia:
1️⃣Vaginoplasty — construction of a vagina using penile and scrotal tissue or other grafts, resulting in fully functional female genitalia.
2️⃣Vulvoplasty — creation of a vulva without a vaginal canal, an option for those who prefer a less invasive procedure.
3️⃣Orchiectomy— removal of the testicles, which can be performed as a standalone procedure or as part of vaginoplasty.
Facial feminization surgery is a set of plastic surgery procedures that aim to modify the masculine features of the face and make it appear more feminine. Common procedures include:
This transgender surgery alters the voice box, or larynx, to raise the pitch of the voice, helping trans women achieve a more feminine-sounding voice.
What is included in the MTF surgery package in Thailand?
Thai gender clinics offer comprehensive all-inclusive packages for MTF transgender surgery, promising a comfortable and seamless experience for trans people. These packages typically cover a wide range of services to support the patient throughout the surgical process, including:
Surgeon, anesthesiologist, and operating room fees;
Post-surgery recovery room charges and post-surgery care;
All necessary medications during the hospital stay;
Meals during the hospital stay;
Airport-hotel-hospital transfers;
Assistance in finding accommodation.
Additionally, it’s common for surgeons to offer a combination of procedures for maximized results. For example, Dr. Pichet Rodchareon at Bangkok Plastic Surgery Clinic, the top MTF surgeon in Thailand, can conduct orchiectomy, tracheal shave, and vaginoplasty as part of the male-to-female sex reassignment surgery. This approach offers significant savings in terms of cost and recovery time, making the transition smoother and more efficient for the patient.
Where to get male-to-female transgender surgery in Thailand?
Bangkok and Phuket are the two most popular locations for undergoing male-to-female gender affirmation surgery in Thailand.
Bangkok
👍Pros:
Expertise. Nestled in the heart of Thailand, Bangkok is a powerhouse of medical innovation and expertise. Globally recognized gender-affirming surgeons like Dr. Rodchareon spearhead the city’s clinics. Thailand’s MTF surgeons boast over 30 years of experience and a solid track record of successful transformations.
(Medical) tourism hub. As one of the top 10 visited cities in the world and a leader in medical tourism, Bangkok offers high-quality medical care combined with the attractions of an exotic vacation. The city is alive with rich street food culture, bustling markets, serene temples, and vibrant nightlife.
Holistic care. Beyond the operating room, Bangkok’s gender clinics provide a nurturing environment with comprehensive support services, including post-surgery care.
👎Cons:
Busy megapolis. While exhilarating, Bangkok's lively pulse can be a bit much when you’re on the path to recovery. The city's endless hum might not suit those seeking peace and quiet post-surgery.
Phuket
👍Pros:
Perfect recovery environment. Phuket is a tropical oasis, offering sun-soaked shores and scenic views to aid your healing journey. The island's calm and picturesque environment is perfect for stress-free recovery.
Exemplary medical facilities. Like Bangkok, Phuket maintains a high standard of medical practice with accredited facilities that match global healthcare standards.
👎Cons:
Limited options. There are fewer specialized SRS surgeons in Phuket than in Bangkok, which could limit your options depending on the complexity of your needs.
How to find the best MTF surgeons in Thailand?
🎓Research surgeon credentials
Look for board-certified surgeons with degrees from reputable institutions and specialized training in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Keep an eye out for graduates from Chulalongkorn University, a pioneering institution that was the first to systematically teach sex reassignment surgery.
🏛️Check memberships in professional organizations
Membership in recognized organizations is a testament to a surgeon's commitment to excellence and ethical standards. Look for surgeons who are members of:
the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS);
the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH);
the Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons of Thailand;
the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
🏆Look for extensive experience
Surgeons with decades of experience in sex reassignment surgery (SRS) have more refined skills and a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in these procedures.
✍️Read patient reviews
Patient reviews can provide insights into a surgeon's expertise and the quality of care at the clinic.
📷Before and after photos
Ask to see a portfolio of the surgeon's previous work. Before-and-after photos of past gender confirmation procedures can give you an idea of the surgical outcomes you might expect.
✅Consider hospital accreditations
Ensure that the clinic operates in a hospital that meets international healthcare standards. Accreditations from organizations like the Joint Commission International (JCI) indicate that a hospital maintains a high standard of care.
🤗Assess your comfort
During consultations, assess your comfort level with the surgeon. It's crucial that they are communicative, empathetic, and respectful of your gender identity. The personal connection is key to a successful surgical experience.
🔖Explore the most advantageous packages
Look into all-inclusive MTF surgery packages from reputable Thai surgeons. These can offer everything from transgender surgery to post-operative care and transfer, simplifying the process.
What steps does MTF gender reassignment surgery in Thailand involve?
1. Initial consultation. The journey usually starts with an online consultation, allowing you to discuss your goals, expectations, and medical history with the surgeon from home. Once in Thailand, you’ll have an in-person meeting to finalize your surgical plan.
2. Pre-surgical assessments. Before proceeding with the gender reassignment surgery, you’ll undergo comprehensive medical evaluations to ensure you are fit for the procedure. This includes everything from blood tests to a psychiatric evaluation.
3. Surgery. The duration of the gender affirmation surgery depends on the type of surgical procedure. An orchiectomy might take 1-2 hours, while more extensive surgeries like vaginoplasty can last between 3-6 hours.
4. Hospital stay: 3-7 days. Post-surgery, you will stay in the hospital under close monitoring to ensure there are no immediate complications and that initial healing is on track.
5. Recovery in Thailand: 2-3 weeks. After being discharged from the hospital, you’re advised to stay in Thailand for several weeks. This period allows the surgical team to manage any complications early and ensures you are well on your way to recovery before traveling back home.
6. Further recovery: from 6 weeks. Full recovery from MTF surgery can take several months to a year. The most significant healing occurs in the first six weeks.
7. Long-term care. Depending on your specific case, long-term care may include hormonal treatments, additional cosmetic enhancements, or revision surgeries. Make sure to closely follow all aftercare instructions your doctor gives you.
What are the requirements for MTF surgery in Thailand?
Most reputable clinics in Thailand follow the guidelines set by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). They aim to ensure that you are physically and mentally prepared for the changes associated with gender reassignment surgery.
Although requirements vary from clinic to clinic, here’s what patients usually need to prepare for male-to-female transgender surgery:
A letter from a licensed therapist confirming that you are mentally prepared for the surgical transition. Ir verifies that gender reassignment surgery will likely alleviate your gender dysphoria and enhance your mental well-being.
While not mandatory, a reference letter from someone who knows you well, such as a friend, family member, or employer, can provide additional support for your case.
Proof of having been on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for at least one year. Hormone therapy helps develop secondary sexual characteristics of the desired gender and creates an appropriate physical canvas for surgical alterations.
Lab tests and evaluations, including:
chest X-ray;
electrocardiogram (EKG);
comprehensive blood tests.
How old do you have to be to get MTF sex change surgery in Thailand?
In Thailand, you must be at least 18 years old to undergo male-to-female surgery. This is the legal age to consent to surgical procedures. Some clinics may take on younger patients if they have parental consent and the documentation verifying the need for gender reassignment surgery.
