Quick Answer
When considering plastic surgery in Vietnam, focus on the specific clinic, surgeon and facility rather than assuming that every provider follows the same standards.
Check the clinic’s operating licence, the surgeon’s professional credentials, where surgery will take place, how treatment is planned and what follow-up is available.

Start With the Clinic, Surgeon and Facility
Plastic surgery providers in Vietnam vary, so international patients should evaluate the specific clinic, surgeon and medical facility rather than choosing based only on destination, advertising or convenience.
A clear consultation should explain who will perform the procedure, where surgery will take place, how suitability is assessed and how follow-up will be handled.
What to Check Before Choosing a Clinic
A clear verification process helps international patients make informed decisions. Before choosing a clinic, check:
The clinic operating licence
The surgeon's name and professional licence
Who will actually perform the surgery
How your medical history and suitability will be assessed
What procedure and technique are being proposed
What follow-up is expected for your case
Dr. Koko Vietnam operating licence: 04309/HCM-GPHD.
The clinic and international patient team coordinate communication and consultation. Medical assessment, treatment suitability and surgical decisions belong to the licensed surgeon responsible for the patient.

Surgeon Qualifications and Treatment Planning
The surgeon evaluates the patient's anatomy, medical history, medications, previous procedures and treatment goals before deciding whether surgery may be appropriate and which technique may be considered.
Dr. Koko Vietnam's current surgeon records identify Dr. Lê Việt Hưng as a plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon, licence No. 003943/HCM-GPHN, and Dr. Phạm Thị Việt Trinh as a plastic and aesthetic surgeon, licence No. 004230/HCM-GPHN. Both are described as authorised by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health.
Procedure suitability and the final treatment plan are determined for the individual patient. Medical qualifications and surgical decisions belong to the named licensed surgeon, while Dr. Koko Vietnam is the clinic and brand.
Medical Facilities and Surgery
Patients should confirm the licensed medical facility where their procedure will take place, who will provide anesthesia when required, and how immediate recovery and follow-up are arranged for the proposed treatment.
Dr. Koko Vietnam operates under the clinic licence stated above. The facility arrangements for a specific operation should be explained accurately during consultation and confirmed for the individual treatment plan. Patients should confirm the exact facility for their case rather than assume that every procedure uses an internationally accredited hospital.
Implants and Medical Products
Not every procedure uses an implant. When an implant or other medical product is proposed, patients should ask for the product name, manufacturer, purpose and the regulatory or certification information available for that specific product.
Product selection is part of the surgeon's individual treatment planning. FDA or CE status should be confirmed for the specific implant or product and should not be assumed for every medical supply.
Care After Surgery
Postoperative care depends on the procedure and the patient's recovery. Patients receive follow-up instructions according to their treatment plan, and the Dr. Koko Vietnam international patient team coordinates communication with the clinic.
The timing and location of postoperative monitoring should be confirmed for the specific procedure. Monitoring arrangements vary by procedure and recovery stage. After returning home, patients can communicate according to their follow-up plan and should seek appropriate local medical assessment for urgent concerns.
Understanding Surgical Risk
Every surgical procedure has potential risks, regardless of the country where it is performed. Appropriate patient assessment, a licensed medical facility, an appropriately qualified surgeon and proper follow-up are important parts of reducing avoidable risk. Your surgeon will explain the risks that are relevant to your particular procedure and health before surgery.
Starting From Overseas
International patients can begin by sending clear photos, relevant medical information, previous procedure history where applicable and their treatment goals.
