Considering plastic surgery in Vietnam? Understanding the process before you travel can make planning much easier.
At Dr. Koko Vietnam, international patients can begin their consultation online before travelling to Ho Chi Minh City. Our team helps coordinate each stage, while medical assessments and surgical decisions are handled by the appropriate licensed medical professionals.
Here is how the process works.
1. Start With an Online Consultation
Your consultation can begin before you arrive in Vietnam.
Contact the Dr. Koko Vietnam international patient team and tell us which procedure you are considering and what you would like to change.
You may be asked to provide:
• Clear recent photos
• Your treatment goals
• Relevant medical information
• Information about previous procedures
• Your preferred travel period
This information helps with the initial assessment and treatment planning.
An online consultation is an initial step. Your final treatment plan is confirmed after appropriate medical evaluation and an in person assessment.
2. Initial Assessment and Treatment Planning
Every patient is different.
Your anatomy, concerns, medical history, previous procedures and treatment goals may all affect which approach is appropriate for you.
After your information has been reviewed, the team can explain the proposed treatment and next steps.
This is also the right time to ask questions before deciding whether you want to travel to Vietnam.
3. Receive Your Individual Quotation
There is no single treatment price that applies to every patient.
Your quotation is prepared according to the treatment being considered for your individual case.
Before proceeding, make sure you understand what is included and whether there are other expected expenses.
You can begin this process before booking your flight.
4. Plan Your Trip to Vietnam
If you decide to continue, the international patient team can help you understand the expected schedule for your treatment.
The recommended length of stay depends on your procedure, recovery requirements and follow up plan.
Before booking your return flight, discuss the expected timeline with the team.
If accommodation, transportation or other services are included in a specific package or arrangement, these details will be confirmed individually.
5. Meet Your Surgeon in Vietnam
After arriving in Ho Chi Minh City, you will attend your scheduled appointments.
Before surgery, your surgeon will assess you in person, discuss the proposed procedure and determine whether the treatment plan remains appropriate.
This is an important opportunity to ask questions about:
• The planned procedure
• Surgical approach
• Expected changes and limitations
• Important risks
• Recovery
• Follow up care
Your final surgical plan is confirmed after the appropriate medical assessment.
6. Prepare for Surgery
Preoperative requirements depend on the procedure and your individual health information.
You will receive instructions relevant to your treatment plan.
Make sure the medical team knows about medications, supplements, previous procedures and relevant medical conditions.
Do not stop prescribed medication unless appropriately advised by a medical professional.
7. Your Procedure
Surgical procedures are performed by the appropriate licensed surgeon according to the confirmed treatment plan.
The exact surgical technique depends on the procedure and individual case.
Before proceeding, you should understand who will perform your surgery and have an opportunity to discuss your treatment with the surgeon involved in your care.
8. Recovery and Follow Up
Recovery varies between procedures and patients.
Depending on your treatment, your recovery plan may include:
• Medication
• Wound care
• Follow up appointments
• Compression garments when appropriate
• Activity restrictions
• Sleeping position instructions
• Additional postoperative care
Follow the instructions provided by your medical team and contact the clinic if you have concerns during recovery.
9. Before You Return Home
International patients should allow appropriate time for early recovery and scheduled follow up before returning home.
Your travel timing depends on your procedure, recovery progress and individual medical assessment.
Before leaving Vietnam, make sure you understand your ongoing recovery instructions and what follow up may be needed after you return home.
10. Follow Up After You Leave Vietnam
The Dr. Koko Vietnam international patient team can assist with follow up communication after you return home.
You may be asked to provide updated photos or information about your recovery.
Online communication does not replace necessary in person medical care. If you develop urgent or concerning symptoms after returning home, seek appropriate local medical attention.
