Sun, Sand and Cosmetic Surgery

Hey Ladies!

My name is Isabella and I want my boobs done.  And I have been RESEARCHING! If you haven’t guessed already then yes, I have finally decided on getting a breast augmentation, but I’m going to THAILAND! I am so excited, everything is booked and I leave in a couple of months.

I was put off surgery for a while because I couldn’t justify to myself spending $10 000- $15 000 on boobs and I thought I would never even consider heading overseas until I started investigating. I stumbled across a few ‘medical tourism agencies’ and decided to take a look. I had consultations with a few, but they just didn’t feel right and that’s when I found Cosmetic Holidays International. The company director, Claire, made me feel so comfortable and she was so genuine compared to all the others! PLUS she has had surgery herself in Thailand and said she couldn’t be happier! I knew right then that this is what I wanted to do.

Cosmetic Holidays International organises cosmetic surgery-holiday packages with low cost but high quality! Claire was fantastic, within a week the surgeon in Thailand had confirmed my suitability for surgery AND she organised all the travel and accommodation for me at a cheap price. All together I am paying $6000 for flights, accommodation and BOOBS! That’s about half of what I would pay to have them done in Australia but I get a holiday as well!

I know a lot of you are probably thinking what is she doing going to Thailand! But after researching every possible thing, I feel more comfortable going there than here.

Cosmetic Holidays International only works with Bangkok Hospital Phuket. It is a FIVE STAR hospital and looks more like a resort. It has a JCI accreditation, which is like a ‘Gold Stamp’ globally for medical and healthcare. Not even Australian hospitals have that!

Not only is the hospital amazing, but the surgeons too! In Australia, a GP with five years medical training and a few cosmetic surgery workshops can hang up a ‘Cosmetic Surgeon’ sign and start conducting aesthetic procedures.

Whereas in THAILAND the surgeons have to complete 11 years of training and experience- 5 years general medical training- 5 years plastic and reconstructive surgery training AND 1 year cosmetic and aesthetic surgery training. If that doesn’t convince you I don’t know what will!

But if you’re still worrying about me, worry no more! Not only is Cosmetic Holidays International offering me great service at a low price, they’ve also given me a peace of mind. They are the ONLY medical tourism agency that offers a custom insurance policy! Normal medical insurance doesn’t cover medical travellers like me, but Claire has teamed up with Global Protective Solutions and can provide me a custom policy that will give me comprehensive cover!

If something goes wrong or I have any complications after surgery, I can fly back to Thailand WITH A FRIEND, and have the problem fixed AT NO COST. That’s including flights, accommodation and meals!

If anyone is looking at having cosmetic surgery or dental work but can’t afford it, I would definitely recommend looking into Cosmetic Holidays International! I couldn’t have asked for better treatment and it has all been so easy and cheap. . All the info is on their website www.cosmeticholidays-int.com.au

You tell Claire your needs, and she caters to them thoroughly! I believe they have a motto that ‘anything less than the very best won’t do’ and from my experience it is clear that they definitely stick to that!

And a few months later this is me after my surgery!

How was it?????   My experience with  Cosmetic Holidays International and Bangkok Hospital Phuket has been ten times better than I imagined!!!!

You’ve taken all of the stress away by taking care of all transfers and everything and any nerves I had on the morning of surgery disappeared as soon as I saw the standards of the hospital!

The nurses are all so lovely and caring and everything is so quick and efficient. I was not left waiting any longer than 2 minutes for any of my tests. Even walking through the hallways to my room my Dad said “wow this is way better than Australia”.

My surgeon Dr Piyapas is a very nice man and speaks amazing English, although he is a man of few words, I trusted him from the beginning and felt very safe. He even held my hand as I fell asleep in the operating theatre. I had care from the nurses all throughout the night and I didn’t want to leave the hospital the next day!

Since then I’ve been in hardly any pain or discomfort which I am very surprised about, I feel fine and feel even better when I look at my new boobs! They are settling well and are better than I ever thought they could be. If I could, Id do it all again! Thank you!!”

My experience with Cosmetic Holidays International has been such a life changing thing for me. I had wanted an augmentation for a very long time, and after breast feeding for 18 months, well lets just say I really needed one! As a teenager, I developed a benign breast lump in one of my breasts and I was also seeking to have that removed in the same procedure.

From the first time I got in contact with Claire, I knew I would be taken care of. I sent my photo’s and was recommended to have a breast lift as well as the augmentation and lump removed. I had sought to have an augmentation in Australia 5 years ago, and to have the lump taken out as well. I was told I would need 2 surgeries, and the total would be $16000! If I was to get the lift done here also, I would be up for over $20k which was not affordable for me and seemed so excessive. So that put me off getting it for a while.

After I had my son and finished breast feeding I decided it was time. So I contacted Claire who I was referred to via a friend who had had surgery in Thailand with great results. After researching the hospital and surgeons used by Cosmetic Holidays International, I realised there was no risk at all of a lower standard of care or professionalism and experience regarding the surgeons.

The whole process has gone so smoothly, from the booking stage right the way through the entire trip.   Our resort was absolutely to die for!

The hospital itself is outstanding. I was absolutely amazed by the level of care the nurses provided and how attentive all of the staff were to me.       It was like being supported by a good friend, so it was very comforting having her there.

I had to get a few pre op tests done, and I was escorted through the hospital at all times by the nurses    and they waited while I had my tests. I have not experienced anything like that here at home.

I was very excited to meet my surgeon Dr Witoon, he is the Director of the Aesthetic Centre and Head Surgeon. I could not have had a more professional or experienced surgeon performing my surgery and I felt completely at ease the whole time.

I was upgraded from a standard room to the suite, I could not believe how big and luxurious it was! Nothing like a hospital room at all, more like a 5 star resort room! It even had free Wi-Fi and bottled water!

My procedures took nearly 6 hours and when I was wheeled out of recovery back to the room, I had a lovely meal waiting for me. I saw Dr Witoon the next day and although I was meant to stay in for 2 nights, I was able to go home because of how well I was doing.

The rest of the time was spent relaxing at the resort, shopping, getting massages and facials and hanging out with the other lovely girls in the group. I’ve really made some great friends and I cannot express enough how amazing this has been for me.

Claire and her staff are so lovely and the whole trip exceeded my expectations in so many ways. I’m so happy with my results and it feels so good to finally have my boobs fixed!

If you’re considering surgery, this really is the full VIP treatment. Best hospital and the best surgeons at the best price. I am already planning another trip next year to get some dental work done and will be booking with Cosmetic Holidays International again.

Liposuction, or the new techniques of Liposculpture or VASER  liposuction-the new technique that uses two devises, UAL (ultrasound assisted liposuction) and PAL (pulse- assisted liposuction) that are more effective than traditional liposuction techniques.

Standrad and new liposuction procedures are well-known procedures to help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific, hard to budge areas. These aeas include the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, knees and upper arms as well as sometime on the face as under the chin and cheek areas.

This new technology emulsifies the fat, melting it first, and then targeting the unwanted fat while preserving the surrounding tissues including muscles, nerves, blood vessels and connective tissues allowing for a greater removal of deeper, fatty tissue; an increased amount of fat removal and less trauma and bruising than traditional liposuction.

Rather than just a  fat removal technique- liposuction is surgical artistry that requires a trusted, experienced and highly qualified Plastic and reconstructive surgeon.

Natural looking, balanced body contouring, smooth, even results and sculptured bodies are high on the list of expectations and desires from our clients.

For one of our most popular surgical procedures prices start at $2,600 with surgery package for hips, thighs and buttocks just $6,000 plus travel!

Renee said: “The reason I decided to travel with Cosmetic Holidays International was based upon a recommendation from a friend of a friend, and the results of her breast surgery. Even after seeing for myself and researching everything I was still abit skeptical- however I found Claire to be more than helpful, DAY AND NIGHT, and she always put my mind at ease no matter how silly the questions!

Upon arriving in Thailand I watched Claire with the girls going in for surgery. She was very attentive and I knew I had done the right thing!  The service with Cosmetic Holidays International was outstanding- not only did the girls come to my consultation with me, they waited with me while I had my tests and checked into my room and was prepped for surgery. This was my first time overseas and not for one second did I feel alone.

I cannot stress how much this meant to me!

The results of my breast augmentation are amazing and I refer to my surgeon Dr Poonsak as my artist. The level of professionalism from this organisation is amazing- I have never experienced anything like it in my life. And this continued throughout the entire trip at the resort and post-op appointments.

I cannot speak highly enough about the ladies at Cosmetic Holidays International, the hospital and their staff and Dr Poonsak for my amazing holiday experience and new boobs!”

The post-op fun continued with the days now blending into another with surgery follow-ups, rides in Tuk tuks, shopping

and a  a wonderful day at Viking Cove and James Bond Island where we wished our worries away in a  traditional Thai ceremony, dined on lobster and watched the sunset.

Friendships were formed and lots and lot of laughs as we explored the islands…   

As we relaxed around our resort we had a baby elephant visit one day, and it became a daily ritual to have the $8 Thai massages, pedicures or manicures overlooking our private beach and eating at one of the many restaurants together.

Cosmetic Holidays International , launched a brand new service for the group tours- an exclusive new MAKE-UP TUTORIAL! This brand new service is on today at the MAKE-UP STORE.

Kelly said: “The group was lovely and it was great catching up with everyone at the make-up tutorial, which itself was extremely worthwhile. I learnt alo and had so much fun! The ladies at Cosmetic holidays International are lovely and another great asset to their company.

From the first moment of my inquiry to all of the little questions I had through to organising the whole procedure, flights, accommodation- everything. Everything was organised so well both here and  in Thailand and the hospital service was amazing and I felt completely comfortable- my surgeon even held my hand as I was falling asleep.

I am over the moon with the results! It is something I have wanted for a very long time and I still can’t believe it actually happened. Thank you Cosmetic Holidays International for a life-changing trip!”

It was Songgkran festival, starting on our final day in Phuket where the streets of Phuket  became a battlefield of goodwill as locals and tourists celebrated the new year.

Known as ‘Songkran’, the three-day festival marks the start of the New Year in many parts of Southeast Asia, including Thailand.It’s regarded as a time for cleansing and renewal, and people splash water to symbolise washing away the sins of the previous year.

The centuries-old tradition has become a major drawcard for tourists keen to ‘wet’ their appetite for some local culture and a bit of fun.Revellers arm themselves with colourful water pistols, taking aim at one another, and any passers by.

During the festival, people also make offerings to Buddhist monks in exchange for their blessings. Others use the holiday to retreat to the countryside and pay respect to their family elders.

Lauren said- “My experience with Cosmetic Holidays International was AMAZING! Their reliable organisation and comforting support made my experience enjoyable and worthwhile. The outcome of my surgery with Dr Job was amazing. I was an insecure 20 year old with no breasts at all and now I am a confident woman with her breasts and body that are now in proportion. The outcome and experience was life-changing!

So during the day we all stayed at our resort soaking up a blissful last day in the most perfect weather, and     then VIP tickets at FAMOUS NIGHTCLUB to celebrate Songkran Foam Part on the rooftop!

Day 3 of our surgeries continue with 7am pick-ups by our hospital staff of the ladies with consultations, medical tests and surgeries!

Everyone was excited by this surreal experience and seeing and feeling the wide variety of implants available.

The ladies were feeling elated, and reassured at the same time after the morning spent at the hospital with our surgeons and hospital staff…

We came back to our resort with one of our ladies post-op.

The rest of the day was spent on our private beach, having Thai massages for 8 Australian dollars, manicures and pedicures for $6 each and then some fruit punches and a sample of some hard to resist cocktails….

And dinner on sunset…..

Day 4:  Kelly’sturn for her breast surgery this morning, and Renee is discharged this afternoon.  Dr Poonsak came in to remove the bandages and place on her post-op garment. Wow! Perky, full and amazing!  And that’s the day after surgery!

“I’m so happy” she said, “Thank you Dr Poonsak!”

Maddy is feeling awesome- 500 ccs after a breast lift and implant by Dr Jib!!

“I’m feeling fine, ” she said, “a bit dizzy but off the pain medication and feeling good. I can’t believe it!”  ”I just need to rest.”

The other ladies and I spent the rest of the afternoon back at the resort with lunch at the restaurant, massages and relaxing by the pool until our last lady arrived from Sydney- Miss Pippa. And, of course, we celebrated with a couple of cocktails her grand arrival at sunset!

Day 5: Pippa and Suzan’s surgery this morning with Dr Poonsak and Dr Witoon.

After Suzan’s surgery, which was over 5 hours, she felt ab

• it of discomfort but otherwise I feel awesome.  And the results? “They look so good. Very, very perky!” she laughed with happiness.

  We all shared a lovely diner together at Chang Thai Restaurant at our resort, before an early night after a massive day.

  

  This resort is the ultimate place to recover post-op- it’s like entering a

  world totally away from your daily routine with it’s  own secluded Tri-Trang Beach sitting along the private beach, amongst 12 acres of swaying coconut palms and a tropical garden.Just peace and quiet and a choice of specialty restaurants.Tonight we choose Thai because some of the ladies had never before eaten Thai food. And of course LOVED IT! And the desserts…. with the   friendly staff that is making this surgery a holiday in the  truest sense of Thai hospitality.

   

  Day 6: Today is a public holiday in Thailand, and more easy going than usual….

  Last night while most of the ladies took it easy, Kelly and Lauren ventured into Patong and the night markets for some shopping and exploring.

  

   

  Something the rest of the ladies were keen to do this afternoon after a chilled out breakfast and morning by the pool.

Natasha says “Finally got my A into G and got my sister to take some photos of this dreadful shell of a body I have been left with after the loss of 70kgs!   That’s 70 kgs that and I will never see them again and  I am so proud of my achievement- but I want this cosmetic surgery consisting of multiple procedure ops so badly! It really is the last piece to my jigsaw puzzle!”

At first I was going to use another agency at first but my brothers girlfriend had her surgery through them and I was highly unimpressed! Then one of my client recommended you to me!  That’s the power of personal recommendations and referrals!

“You Claire, just keep impressing me with her prompt responses! I could tell from that first phone call that you were a very genuine, truly interested person! I would like to share my story of my experience so far because it’s the absolute truth, “ she said.

So Cosmetic Holidays International was my agency of choice!  ”I can tell just how passionate and genuine you are and I felt that from our first phone conversation!

I have not been quoted from any other company, and nor do I want to! I think I’m pretty good at feeling a vibe and I feel the vibe!! If I can get finance for this dream surgery.

When I spoke to you, you had told me of the June trip- I would love to be a part of that staying at the amazing Novotel Resort Phuket over our winter and I  would absolutely loooooove to be on the June trip! My birthday is the 19th!!! What a birthday present to myself…a new body!.

The timing is ideal- and what a reveal that would be for summer time when I am all recovered and out of my post-op garments and seeing the results!

I am currently single and the only thing that makes me conscious is my melted body lol…. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that bad that I’m a recluse or anything as my clothes hide it very well- but it would be the icing on the cake!

My mum is also wants to join me for the support and the holiday as well. Claire is there for us as the host and I know I will have plenty of support including the  other ladies who are having surgery as well as their wonderful hospital team and surgeons that are pure angels!

But mum’s teeth are not real pretty and have always been very self-conscious about smiling! So , as well as coming to be there and support me it was the perfect opportunity for her to finally get them done by the international team of dental specialists for a fraction of the price.

I know a tour with you and your company would be an amazing experience!  I trust that you only use the best surgeons and am very grateful to you for recommending only the best for me!

Dealing with you just feels right, and I always go with my gut feeling. I just know that I’m going to be in great hands   I’m soooo excited but don’t want to get my hopes up too soon…due to the financial side of things…lol.

And I am happy to share the love…I would only be too happy to post my experience with you from the very start on your FB page.  have many clients that I have also recommended use your services for their cosmetic surgeries and also 3 family members that have had gastric sleeve surgery which will be requiring similar surgeries to what I need! I know they are all waiting to see my results and then they’ll all be booking in!

You wouldn’t believe how many people have been inspired by my journey…and it’s truly humbling! If I can help to share my knowledge and some words which may help even one person in the same situation as myself…AWESOME- I’m all for it!”

Everyone wants the guinea pig!

I have been considering a cosmetic trip to Thailand since July 2011. It’s my birthday coming up and I have put in an order for my boobs as a birthday present.

However, things in my life have changed abit since I first started thinking about it. I got married to the man of my dreams and got pregnant and had the most beautiful baby girl, which is the greatest joy of my life. But my boobs have changed a bit, well, dropped from the bubba.

So I guess I need to pick up where we left off and send some updated photos so the surgeon can recommend the things have definitely changed a bit (drooped) from bubba .

So I am sending some updated photos so your surgeon after I wait six months after I finish breast-feeding- the minimal time required to have any breast surgery after breastfeeding.

I still want to have more children in the coming years I am relieved to learn from the information provided to me at Cosmetic Holidays International that breast implants don’t affect breast feeding ducts and I can breast-feed in the future!

Time has just flown since I first started wanting to be get boobs done- marriage, pregnancy, move interstate and back home on the Gold Coast again and now a beautiful little baby. But the desire to get my boobs done never waned!

This was the year I decided my dream was coming true!

I decided on the up-coming April Group Tour I was so excited on the idea of the ultimate girl’s trip away to have the support and company of Claire and the other ladies all having surgery and recovery staying at the fabulous Merlin Beach Resort- the heavenly hideaway ideal for our post-op recovery! I am so excited about everything- the surgery, entering into a world to into a world to recover  own secluded Tri-Trang Beach along the private beach, amongst 12 acres of swaying coconut palms and a tropical garden.

I was so excited I paid for my surgery, travel package and booking fee in full the second it was confirmed!

Watching Cosmetic Holidays Group Tour on Facebook, reading the Blog, looking at all of the happy photos on Facebook and Instagram was fantastic! I was really loving all of the photos! It was for me a  glimpse of what I was about to experience myself and seeing how happy the ladies and men were with the results of their surgeries, the wonderful friendly hospital staff and surgeons and the fun they were having at the beautiful resorts and holiday in Phuket.

It was great also that Claire, Cosmetic Holidays International Managing Director was always contactable by email, Facebook or Instagram for a chat about anything and everything from the weather in Phuket. I had questions from anything from how the ladies were feeling post-op so I knew realistically what to expect in my recovery;  to shopping and answering anything big or little questions I had. It was very comforting and reassuring   and she was she always made me feel special no matter how busy she was.

After being glued to Facebook for their  February Group I was on the biggest count-down!   I am just so excited- I want perfect big boobies like the other girls on the last tour! )))

So much to look forward to, I don’t know what’s more  exciting or the highlight- the beautiful resort and holiday, the new boobs, us all girls making friends and hanging out on a holiday on a private,  delicious Thai food, Thai massages, Phi Phi Island and day cruises, sun tanning by the pool, Thai massages, cocktails and heaven.

Just joking, all these amazing extras are just icing on the cake- I am so unbelievably excited for my dream cosmetic surgery experience on Cosmetic Holiday International’s April Group Tour and my Breast Lift and Implant by Dr Jib (Dr Pongsatorn)

 OMG! 9 more sleeps and counting! I can’t wait. All I have to do now, like all the other ladies is keep calm, pack my bags and meet Claire at the International Airport on the day of our departure. And keep calm, and dream of bring in, and LOVING PHUKET!
