Is Plastic Surgery Safe in Vietnam?

Vietnam is now one of Asia’s most attractive destinations for cosmetic surgery. With affordable costs, advanced technology, and internationally trained surgeons, more patients from Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, and Europe are traveling here for procedures.

But the first question is always: “Is it safe to have plastic surgery in Vietnam?”

The answer is yes — when you choose the right clinic and qualified surgeons.

Why Patients Choose Vietnam for Surgery

Affordable but high-quality care

– Procedures can cost 40–60% less than in Korea or Thailand.

Internationally trained surgeons

– Many Vietnamese doctors study in Korea, Japan, or Europe.

Modern hospitals

– Licensed clinics in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Nha Trang offer advanced facilities.

Medical tourism growth

– Thousands of patients now come to Vietnam every year for cosmetic surgery.

Safety Standards and Licensed Clinics

Safety always depends on the facility you choose.

Only hospitals and licensed clinics can perform surgeries.

Proper anesthesia, sterile equipment, and recovery rooms are required.

Beauty salons are not legally allowed to do plastic surgery.

Surgeon Qualifications Matter

Your surgeon is the biggest factor in safety. Look for:

Board certification in plastic or reconstructive surgery.

International training (Korea, Japan, Europe).

Proven results with before–after photos.

Dr. Koko and his team are board-certified and have trained abroad, ensuring patients receive safe, natural-looking results.

New 2025 Patient Protection Laws

Vietnam has strengthened its cosmetic surgery regulations in 2025:

Only licensed hospitals/clinics may perform plastic surgery.

Surgeons must meet higher qualification standards.
