You’re NEVER too old to make a change!
At the age of 49, I decided to start doing all of the things I had always talked about and having breast enhancement surgery was by far the most exciting! Once I mentioned to a few friends that I was interested, the positive feedback began to flow and all had chosen to go through Surgery Getaways. I checked out the website, sent off my first email, and within 2 months I was recuperating by the pool at Patong Beach.
The level of care was superior to any I have received back in Australia, all the hospital staff spoke English, and my surgeon Dr Veerawat was just lovely.
It is now 3 months since my surgery, and my girls look wonderful. I went from an “A” cup to a full “C”, they look so natural, and I can hardly see the scars! All my close friends cannot believe how good they look, and what a sensational job my surgeon did. Post-surgery I have been problem-free, and my girls continue to look better every week; I really wish I had done this 20 years ago, but it is definitely better late than never!
This decision has changed my life so much for the better...my confidence is right up there. I can now buy strappy tops for summer, and feminine bras/bikinis, because I now have something to fill them with I did this for me, not my husband or anyone else. I would highly recommend Surgery Getaways to anyone wanting to make a positive change to their body – it’s YOUR body, YOUR decision!

I arrived at the airport and was greeted by an very well dressed and professional Thai lady dressed in "Phuket international hospital" uniform and straight away this put me at ease, as I was up tight on the flight to Phuket, she gave me some more useful information of my surgery and took me straight to the hotel and, although I booked the hotel myself it was a lovely resort.
I unpacked my bags and went straight to bed. In the morning I was greeted shortly after breakfast with a driver to take me to hospital, he was very friendly and was escorted straight into the plastic surgery rooms on level 3 of the hospital. I was given paper work to read over and then was able to have a meeting with my surgeon Dr Boonchai. He put my mind at ease and I was very content to go ahead with the liposuction on my outer hips and back area. All the nurses spoke perfect English and I had blood taken and lots of tests done before I was showed to my room. I had a few hours in my room to read over the surgery papers and get changed and re-coop. I always had a nurse by my side reassuring me everything was going to be ok. I was wheeled into a different ward ready for surgery while all the time I had at least 1 nurse by my side taking my blood pressure every 10 or so mins and before I know it I was under.
The recovery was great, every time I needed to go to the bathroom, which was quite often I buzzed a nurse and she was there in a flash, didn’t even have time to blink!! And I was well fed. The next day I was seen by the doctor and given all my meds and explained to how I should take them and the after care of the wounds and what to do and not to do. I was quite sore for the best part of the 10 days I was there, but I could see results straight away with in hours after surgery was fantastic.
I had a follow up on the 7th day after surgery and the doctor said it was perhaps the best result he had seen in such a short space of recovery time after surgery, which would suggest a great technique perform by my doctor, so 2 days later I was off home and I didn’t have any pain on the flight home, not even much swelling, i was shocked.
I have just turned 21 and I work out every day and am very fit. I train and compete with horses in dressage and am looking forward to training them towards London next year. I was by no means fat as I am 6 foot something and before surgery weight 86kg, however since I was a kid I always had hips, no matter how thin or how much muscle I put on and for my silhouette for riding I decided to have lipo.
I am so happy with my results and would do it again over in a heartbeat I’ve lost 4 inches on my lips, and overall (with dieting) 9 kilos and feel great and look my best. I would like to say a huge thank you to Cathy and the team at Surgery Getaways for getting me onto this great experience in my life. I feel like I can go on living with nothing holding me down now, I’ve changed for the better and I owe it to the whole team who made it possible, thanks heaps guys :)

First of all I’d like to say a big thank you to Catherine for helping me organise my surgery getaway. I knew ever since I was a teenager that I wanted to get a breast augmentation although I was worried about the price and did not trust the validity of an overseas surgery.
I contacted Catherine through her website and she was very responsive, contacting me quickly to help answer all my questions. She was friendly and patient throughout the whole process. Catherine sent me a medical questionnaire to find out more about myself and what I wanted to achieve by my surgery, all I had to do was email this back with a few photos of the surgery area. Catherine contacted Dr. Veerawat who was my surgeon to find out his opinion and projected cost, these details were all forwarded to myself and I was invited to contact her with any queries.
Not long after I was contacted by Catherine to find out what decision I had made based on the quote I had received. When I decided to go ahead with the surgery, I booked flights and forwarded my itinerary to Catherine who sent me all my information regarding pick-ups, surgery dates/costs.
Arriving in Thailand, I was picked up by the Phuket International Hospital team who were all very friendly, spoke fluent English and were ready to answer any questions I had. The day of the surgery, I was picked up by the PIH team and taken to the hospital where I met Dr. Veerawat who was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable and he was very confident in doing my surgery. He made me feel very comfortable that I would be achieving a ‘natural’ look. A few hours later I had my breast augmentation.
Waking up from surgery I was dazed and in a lot of pain, the staff at the PIH made sure that I was comfortable and kept me calm. I was provided with meals and painkillers to help with the healing process. The room I stayed in was private and included a couch for my friend to sleep on while I was in hospital. I was checked on every few hours and assured that everything was fine, I was able to call a nurse if I ever needed one.
The next day my bandages were removed and I was able to see my new breasts! Although I was shocked, I could already see that I was very happy and had gotten exactly what I asked for. The same day I was discharged from the hospital and given medication to administer to myself when I needed it. I was able to go out and explore Thailand with my best friend soon after. This was definitely one of the best holidays ever!
Before surgery I was self-conscious and unhappy with my body, I would not even wear a bikini to the beach, the difference this surgery has made to my life is immense. My friends are all so jealous and want their breasts done. A girl I work with had her breasts done in Australia and said that my breasts are exactly like hers and she is jealous that she paid an extra $10,000 more than myself.
Thank you so much Catherine Skinner and the Phuket International Hospital team!

As far as the surgery went, I have never been happier than after Dr Sanguan Kunaporn operated in such a professional way. Even when I had panic attacks and started going into fainting spells, he and his staff were extremely efficient and managed to get me oxygen in time. I believe this is not normal for this to happen but they were wonderful and I would still go under Dr Sanguan Kunaporn’s knife any day.
All the staff at the hospital was second to none and I would not hesitate in recommending them in the future. The hospital itself, was clean, and I was surprised at how much nicer it was than our hospitals over here.
Thank you once again for organizing our getaway so efficiently and I would also like to acknowledge your role as Director. It was always very easy to ask any questions and approach you for information when we weren’t sure about something.
Well done to you and I look forward to using Surgery Getaways in the future.

It was only about 3 months ago since I got my breast augmentation and I would just like to say I absolutely LOVE THEM! I’ve always wanted to get a breast enlargement but I thought I would never be able to afford it unless I took out a loan, which I really didn’t want to do. I knew a few girls that got their breasts done in Thailand too and theirs looked perfect! I started doing some research about surgery in Thailand because like everyone else I was abit scared and worried about getting the surgery overseas. However, it ended up being the easiest process. I would like to specially thank Catherine for organising it all.
I did quiet a bit of research on different companies offering surgery and holiday packages and found that Surgery Getaways was by far the cheapest one. As soon as I enquired about it, I got a response straight away and every question I asked, Catherine would answer. The next minute I know everything was booked including my accommodation and my partner and I were on our way. Upon our arrival everything was organized for me, which was extremely comforting. We had all the transfers organized, to and from the hospital and hotel.
We were both extremely impressed of the staff and cleanliness of the Phuket international hospital. Once I met my surgeon Dr. Veerawat I felt even more comfortable and confident with my surgery. Dr. Veerawat spoke fluent English and thoroughly explained everything to me. Then only a couple of hours later I was in surgery. They also provided a couch for my partner to sleep on while he took care of me. After the surgery I was in pain but the painkillers helped a lot. The next morning Dr.Veerawat visited me and I was relieved when I heard him say that there weren’t any complications and everything was fine. He took the bandages off and I was very happy with the results and there wasn’t any bruising. I ended up staying for 2 nights (no extra charge) in hospital because I wasn’t ready to start moving around. The hospital even provided me with meals everyday and my partner could order meals. I couldn’t of done it without help from the nurses and my partner.
We were both taken back to our hotel and I was already out and about enjoying the rest of my holiday. Each day that went by I was recovering more and I was able to move around by myself. We went back to the hospital a couple of times for my post-op to check up and everything was fine. The surgery was definitely the scariest thing I’ve ever done but do not regret it one bit. As soon as I got back to Australia, I got hundreds of compliments and now everyone wants breasts like mine. I’ve recommended my surgeon and Surgery Getaways to everyone and already have a few friends going to get them done. I would definitely go back their for any other surgery. It was one of the best holidays I’ve ever had! THANK YOU!
Adele - NSW
I had my surgery less than three months ago now, and the entire journey from my initial consultation to now has been outstanding. Surgery Getaways, was incredibly supportive answering any questions I had leading up to my holiday, ensuring I was completely comfortable with my; surgeon, surgeries, facility and accommodation.
Once I landed in Phuket absolutely everything was organised for me, allowing me to be stress free and relaxed. My surgeon Dr. Veerawat, was amazing, he spoke fluent English and made sure I was completely comfortable and certain that the procedures were right for me. The hospital was very large and exceptionally clean the facilities were just as good if not better than hospitals in Australia.
After waking up from the surgery in ICU, I was very groggy and nauseous but wasn’t in a whole lot of pain. Dr Veerawat visited me the next morning and took my bandage off, I was extremely happy with the result, there was no bruising and not too much swelling. It was very difficult to sit up or move around, but the nurses were all very friendly and helped me in every way possible. The pain was more of an all overall harsh ache but it was controlled with pain medications and ice packs. Every day I was getting better, but when the day came to leave hospital I wasn’t completely sure I would be able to manage on my own just yet, so Dr Veerawat let me stay in hospital another night at no extra charge. I was escorted back to my hotel the following afternoon, it was very spacious and clean.
I was out sightseeing, shopping and enjoying my holiday, within two days of getting back to the hotel. By the time I landed back in Australia and less than two weeks after my surgery, I was almost completely back to normal. Even though flying to Thailand by myself and getting plastic surgery, without telling any of my family or friends, was by far the scariest thing I’ve ever done in my life, I would do it again any day. I am so incredibly happy with my results.
I am constantly getting compliments and three of my friends are now interested in having a little holiday themselves. Thanks a million!!!
Jeanette - QLD
I would like to thank you Catherine your service has been absolutely first class service all the way! Surgery Getaway looked after me and the whole procedure from start to finish. I was using a different agency and was not happy with the level of service I was getting so I rang Catherine and she answered all of my questions, called me back when she said she would and handled everything from start to finish with class.
When I arrived in Phuket we were picked up and dropped off at our hotel then I was picked up from the hotel and went to the hospital and I have to say everything was just PERFECT. I got a breast lift and implants and I could not be happier with my results, I have to admit I was nervous but I was in the best hands and I would have to say it was actually a rather pleasant experience, Dr Rushapol was fabulous, the hospital was TOP CLASS and I was well looked after.
I will be sending all my friends your way Catherine and I really just want to say thank you for going above and beyond. P.S LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!
Rhianna - VIC
I’m 23 years old and have wanted a breast augmentation since I realised as a teenager that my breasts weren’t going to get any bigger! I’d had an initial consultation with a surgeon in Australia, but was hesitant to book the surgery due to the cost, which was going to be $12,500. Whilst I was saving up for the surgery, a friend of mine came home from Thailand with some surprise additions, and I decided to have the surgery in Phuket.
Catherine from Surgery Getaways organised everything from the surgery itself to the accommodation. They were very helpful and informative, and answered any questions I had (there were quite a few!). It was great to have everything organised for me so the only thing I needed to focus on was the surgery itself.
I had my consultation the morning after my arrival in Phuket. Dr. Veerawat was my surgeon, and I was so impressed with him. His English was perfect (he spoke better than some Australians I know), and his manner was outstanding. During the consultation he answered all my questions and gave me as much time as I needed to choose the right size and discuss my concerns. After the consultation I was shown to my private room and was told that I would be called when Dr Veerawat was ready for surgery. A few hours later the nurses came in and dressed me for surgery, and I was wheeled into theatre. I remember looking around and seeing a room full of people dressed in green, and the next thing I remember is waking up after it was all over.
I could hardly move for around 3 days, as I had sub-muscular implants with armpit incision. It was really difficult to do anything for the first day, but the nurses were there to help, and I managed to walk myself to the toilet that night without help. As each day went by I gained better movement of my arms, and by the time I left Thailand (around 10 days later), I was carrying my own bags through the airport and home. It was great having all the transfers organised because there was always someone waiting for me when I arrived or was leaving either the hotel or the hospital. Everything was arranged and it was just a matter of meeting someone in the lobby so they could drive me where I needed to be.
I would definitely recommend Surgery Getaways to anyone considered cosmetic surgery. The fact that they organise everything makes the whole process so smooth, and the actual surgery and aftercare in Phuket was of a higher standard than I would expect in Australia. If I decide to have any further surgeries I will be getting them done in Phuket.

I went in for surgery for Labiaplasty and all was very professional but defiantly feeling a bit nervous by now. The nurses helped me change into my gown and everyone was very friendly so I starting to feel better.
They wheeled me into surgery, I spoke with my surgeon Dr Sanguan and he explained everything step by step. The needles hurt a bit but after that I couldn’t feel anything. He also removed a mole for free which I was very happy about. After surgery he explained all the after care and I felt completely fine with no pain at all, I couldn’t believe it! I received all my medication and was explained how to take everything and if I had any problem just to call the hospital. Then I was driven back to my hotel.
After the anesthesia wore off I was in a lot of pain, I took about 6 pain killers and nothing seemed to work. I ended up calling the hospital in tears and they told me to place the cold pack on the area, so I got the hotel to bring up some ice and I instantly felt better. The first night was the worst, after that it was just a lot of swelling and I found it hard to walk!
A week later there was no pain, the swelling has gone down and the stitches were starting to come out. I already feel 100 times more confident and I’m really happy with the outcome. For one night of pain it was completely worth it and everyone at the hospital was so friendly and helpful. To get this done in Australia it would have cost me $5000, but it only cost me $700 in Thailand.
While I was over there I also got some dental work done and I couldn’t believe how honest they were. Instead of getting veneers, like I wanted, they suggested I get my teeth whitened and to the right colour before I start getting veneers so I got them cleaned whitened and a 3 month take home kit for only $600. They were also very professional and I was very happy with the outcome.
Catherine was great throughout the whole journey, she even came to the hospital with me for my consultation. So I just wanted to say a big thank you to Surgery Getaways and also to everyone at the hospital I couldn’t be happier =)

I had been wanting breast implants for the longest time and decided to act on getting it done instead of just thinking about it and started researching into it. WOW what a daunting process that was!
After a consultation with a surgeon here in Melbourne, I walked away thinking it would take me ages to sum up the amount of money it was going to cost me, so I decided to search options of going overseas. Eventually after filling out numerous inquiry forms and receiving quotes, I decided on Surgery Getaways for a variety of reasons. I spoke with Catherine and was pleasantly surprised of her confidence and sharing her experiences and she made going overseas sound so tempting. Also I could pay for surgery and accommodation when I got there. This gave me a little extra time to save instead of a front up payment.
After landing in Phuket with my husband, we were taken to our accommodation Catherine had organised. The following day we were picked up and taken to the hospital and met with Dr Veerawat for my consultation and was completely comfortable with him. I knew then I was in the right hands and was so excited that I could hardly contain myself!
The next morning after surgery I couldn’t help myself but to have a peek. They were swollen and I was very sore but it was worth it when I stood there for a countless time looking at those amazing breasts in the mirror! The private hospital room was big and pristine clean, with my own private bathroom. The hospital staff were great and after seeing Dr Veerawat, that afternoon I was taken back to my accommodation.
Six days later my husband and I were picked up and taken back to the hospital for my post op check up with Dr Veerawat. He was very happy with the results and I was elated to hear him say that. My husband is over the moon and can’t believe how great they look. He is still amazed till this day:)
Returning home was a sad affair but I couldn’t wait to show my friends as I knew a couple of them were waiting to see my result before deciding to go themselves. I can’t wait to get out of these sports bras and go shopping for feminine and sexy bras to hold my beautiful new breast. I cannot thank you enough Catherine for all your support, putting up with my many menial questions and organising everything for my husband and myself. I would recommend Phuket and Surgery Getaways to anyone wanting a cheaper alternative to surgery.

I have recently returned from Bangkok where I underwent a Tummy Tuck and breast augmentation at the Yahnee Hospital under Dr. WICHIAN. As a first time international traveler, I was a bit apprehensive as to how I was going to find my way around and know what I was doing and where I was meant to be. Little did I know that by booking through Surgery Getaways all my worries were already behind me. From the moment we got off the plane in Bangkok and were greeted and transported by staff from the Yahnee Hospital, I knew this was going to be a trip to remember. The accommodation provided was beautiful to say the least and the staff no matter where we went treated us like royalty.
Walking in to Yahnee we were greeted at the door by staff and from that moment on until the moment we were farewelled at the hospital, we were completely taken care of and didn't have to lift a finger. On every level the experience was second to none. I had my own room and bathroom, staff constantly checking up on me, pain relief offered when ever I needed it, the standard I believe was that of most Western countries, hygienic more than most I have stayed in and some of the friendliest people you could ever hope to meet. The whole floor was for international patients, although the staff made you feel more like a guest. Most staff spoke English, and if they didnt they knew where to find a person who did.
My surgeries went brilliantly, Dr. WICHIAN spoke with me before the surgery and he made me feel completely confident in what he was going to do for me. After the surgery, I was never alone, to say I felt doted on would be an understatement. And as for the results, I never dreamed I would be this happy!! I could see the results immediately the next morning before the swelling started to kick in too much and I couldn't have been happier, it helped me fight through any pain i may have been in over the next few days. Catherine from Surgery Getaways rang a couple of days later to check how we were doing. I was still a bit out of it at that time.
After 4 nights in Hospital, it was back to our apartment for some much needed recovery time. After a few days we felt confident enough to venture out, and thanks to Catherine emailing up places to go and see prior to our trip, we had a fair idea of what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go.
Our first lot of accommodation was in a quieter part of the city where we could just relax and recuperate however getting towards the end of our stay there we were really keen to go to our new motel in the city where all the markets etc were. We spoke with Catherine and told her we would like to leave a day earlier to give us a bit more time in town, and within half an hour she had made the whole thing happen and we were set to go.
Ten days after our ops, we returned to Yahnee and had a post op consult where we had stitches removed. My Dr. took one look at me and said, "Wow, nice shape!". I was so happy that he was happy and verbalised that to me. Whilst at Yahnee that day, we also took the opportunity to have our teeth laser whitened. I won't lie, at times it was a little painful from sensitised pain, but the results are amazing!! People have not stopped commenting about my teeth since I returned to work, I am now getting lots of complements on my smile. The whole trip was a great success and now it is just like a dream. We shopped till we literally dropped and had the most amazing experiences like riding and playing with elephants, patting tigers and spending the night on the town at the Lady/boy Cabaret Calypso. I don't recall a single thing going wrong. I never had to stop to ask "what do we do?" "Where do we go?" The Thai people are the kindest most hospitable people, they alone will make your stay memorable.
Since returning home I have continued to be impressed with the results. Although still swollen and not fitting in to my original clothes still, I have a new shape and can see where it's all heading. My stomach in particular, I just can't stop looking at myself. I have lived with the hang that the c-section leaves for 13 years, to have a flat stomach now, all I can say is girls, you must do it!!! And it really is thanks to Catherine at Surgery Getaways that I felt I had the confidence to do this. We spoke on the phone on a number of occasions before we left and hearing about her own personal stories and experiences instilled a sense of calm in me and I knew I was in for a life changing experience. I know there are stories out there that Thailand hospitals are like 3rd world countries etc or that the standard in not up to scratch. Let me tell you I came away with all my kidneys and vital organs intact and no hesitations at all about recommending Yahnee to the world. I think they offer state of the art surgeries/procedures, after care, pain relief and staff. I would not have an issue at all if my own children had to be admitted or treated there, they are 2nd to no other hospital in my country that I have stayed in and go above and beyond to make your stay a pleasant one.
Catherine has continued to keep in touch and updated with my recovery process, and already I have friends booking their own trips to Bangkok after having seen my results and hearing about my experience. Thank you Catherine for all you have done and thank you to Surgery Getaways!!!

After consultation with a surgeon in Australia I thought my dream of having a tummy tuck was financially out of my reach. I looked on the internet for other alternatives and came across Surgery Getaways. Catherine organised everything for me, the surgery, the hotel and transport to and from the hospital and airport.
Dr Veerawat was fantastic, he spoke great English and made me feel confident that I was in capable hands. The service at the hospital is fantastic! You are greeted every time you arrive at the hospital and escorted to your appointments so there is no chance of getting lost! The hospital was clean and modern and all the staff are friendly.
The total cost was less than half of what I would have paid in Australia and I got a holiday as well. I would highly recommend Surgery Getaways for anyone who is considering overseas surgery. Six weeks on I am thrilled with my tummy tuck. I have a flat stomach for the first time in years and my confidence is at an all time high!
Monique - NSW
I am a mother of three children and although having children is one of the happiest things to have happened to me, they really did a number on my body. I really needed a Tummy Tuck.
After dieting and exercising for years and unable to achieve the results I wanted, I started searching the web for a plastic surgeon. I came across a number of websites and after putting my feelers out I decided on Surgery Getaways because of the professionalism and personal touch I received from Catherine.
The results are "unbelievable." Finally, after eight years my tummy was flat! It was ‘a dream come true’. As I’m healing, my self-esteem and confidence is coming back. I have to say the first few days recovering were trying but the hospital staff were incredible, so many gorgeous nurses attending me constantly, nothing was a problem to them.
Three weeks on, I am so pleased that I tell everyone about my experience. My poor husband had to stay back to look after our little darlings, he was really apprehensive, but he knew I was determined to have my tummy back. He was so happy that I was happy and commented on the great job Dr Somsak had done. It’s still early days and I have a lot more healing to do but seriously I have not regretted my decision. Thank you Surgery Getaways for making this not only possible but really affordable as well. I can’t wait to get out there and go jeans shopping!

I am 38 years old and just recently had breast augmentation. Now nearly 2 weeks post-op and words cannot describe how I feel. I have wanted to have this done for 10 years and I finally decided that the time was right. I had done so much research on breast augmentation, I almost felt as though I could perform the surgery myself! My self esteem and confidence, in a matter of nearly a two week period, has gone through the roof. I feel 100% complete now as a woman. For the first time in my life, I feel absolutely sexy. I've always been a very petite woman and very self conscience about my flat chest.
My surgery went very well, Dr Suthat and hospital staffs were absolutely the best. I had gone to 2 plastic surgeons before deciding to search for overseas options. Surgery Getaways was the way to go, having everything organised for me at a much more affordably priced option. I couldn't have asked for a better experience than the one I had.
I must be truthful and tell you that I did have a slight melt down a few days after surgery. My breasts were feeling so engorged and tight and I was in a bit of pain and I honestly broke down and sobbed but it lasted only 15 minutes. I chose to go to my bath room and look at myself in the mirror and remember why I did this, “what a beautiful sight” I thought. After that, it was smooth sailing. I'm doing all the breast exercises the surgeon required me to do and each day gets better and better.
On my follow up appointment, Dr Suthat told me that my breasts were in a great position and that everything was looking very good. Prior to my surgery, I was an "A" cup at best. I decided to go to a full "C" cup and Dr Suthat agreed that it was the perfect size to go to for me.

My boyfriend and I arrived at Phuket and was met at the airport and taken to our accommodation. I was so nervous yet excited at the same time knowing that in a few days I would have my new breast I had been dreaming about it for years! The next day we were picked up and taken to the hospital. The consultation with Dr Veerawat was short of amazing. My fears were gone and all questions answered and that afternoon I had surgery feeling extremely comfortable with my decision.
After surgery I didn´t wake up sick like most people and in fact I was so hungry they let me eat. I stayed the night at the hospital and the nurses were warm and friendly, they took really good care of me. Every time I opened my eyes there was a nurse making sure I had everything I needed.
The next morning my surgeon checked me over and later that afternoon I was taken back to my accommodation. I was still in a reality check that I really have bigger breast now. I was sore, as to be expected, but I relaxed over the next few days. My boyfriend was amazed at how great they looked and so was I and couldn’t wait to show my friends back home in Australia.
Later that week we were picked up and taken back to the hospital for my final consultation and had my stitches removed and taken back to the hotel.
Catherine was so helpful and reassuring, she organised everything for me, even our accommodation and information that helped us in Phuket. I wouldn’t think twice about recommending Surgery Getaways as your gateway to achieving your dreams.

I checked out having surgery done in Australia and found that it would cost me near $12,000 for Breast Implants. I checked other clinics and found the range was pretty much the same everywhere, so I started investigating going overseas.
After looking at a few websites and contacting various agents, I chose Surgery Getaways. I felt very comfortable with all our discussions and guidance. The service was great, and I was completely comfortable with the whole process from start to finish. The surgery costs plus my travel expenses were less than half what I’d have to pay in Australia.
I was impressed with how observant and thorough Dr Sanguan was during my consultation. He was confident that everything I desired was achievable. Throughout my hospital stay in Phuket, I was amazed at the friendliness and warmth of the hospital staff. They made me feel very comfortable, and if I needed anything, all I had to do was ask. The nurses were very attentive. The hospital was incredibly clean, and beautiful and I had my own private room.
My accommodation was arranged by Surgery Getaways, it was new and very clean. I couldn't believe the value for money this place was and it was luxury to sit by the beach side while I was recovering.
I’m healing really fast. In fact, it’s now less than two weeks after the surgery and no one can even see the scar under my arms as they are fading quickly. My mum is so impressed with the outcome and my overall experience that she is now confident to go.
I recommend Surgery Getaways to have all your worries taken care of!
