Plastic Surgery in Vietnam for Singapore Patients
Ho Chi Minh City is two hours from Changi Airport. That proximity - combined with the cost difference and quality of care available - is why a growing number of Singaporeans are choosing Vietnam for procedures they'd otherwise pay considerably more for at home.
Practical Information for Singapore Patients
Visa: Singapore passport holders enter Vietnam visa-free for up to 45 days. No pre-application needed.
Flights: Multiple daily departures from Changi (T1, T2, T3) to Tan Son Nhat (SGN). Airlines include Scoot, Singapore Airlines, Jetstar Asia, and Vietnam Airlines. Flight time: approximately 2 hours. Return fares often SGD 100–250.
Accommodation: We arrange hotel near the clinic as part of our all-inclusive package, or can recommend options at various price points if you prefer to book independently.
Language: English is spoken fluently by our coordination and clinical team. All documentation is provided in English.
Stay duration: Rhinoplasty patients typically stay 5–7 days. Combined procedures or body surgeries may require 7–10 days.
What Makes Sense for Singapore Patients Specifically
Singapore's medical infrastructure is world-class - we're not suggesting it isn't. The difference isn't quality of care; it's price. Vietnamese clinics, including ours, use the same internationally certified implants and the same surgical techniques. The cost difference reflects lower operational costs in Vietnam, not lower standards.
What Singaporeans tend to notice most after their first visit: the personal attention. Clinics in Singapore handling high patient volume can feel efficient but impersonal. At Dr. Koko Vietnam, every case is managed directly by the surgeon from consultation through recovery.
