Planning plastic surgery in Vietnam? Understanding the consultation process, treatment planning and recovery arrangements can help you prepare for your trip.
Dr Koko Vietnam offers free online consultations with English-language support for international patients, including those travelling from Australia. Every patient is different, so treatment suitability, the procedure plan and an individual quotation depend on medical assessment.
Begin With an Online Consultation
Before arranging travel, discuss your goals and the procedure you are considering. Share your medical history, previous operations and any medicines or supplements you take. Photographs may be requested to help with the initial discussion.
An online consultation helps you explore options and understand the next steps. Final recommendations require an in-person examination and any necessary pre-operative assessments.
Understand Your Treatment Plan
Whether you are considering rhinoplasty, breast surgery, eyelid surgery or body contouring, your treatment should reflect your individual needs.
Your treating doctor will explain the proposed procedure, its risks, alternatives and expected limitations. The technique used for another patient may not be appropriate for you, and results vary.
Dr Koko Vietnam’s international patient support team helps coordinate communication and appointments. Medical assessments and treatment decisions remain with the treating doctor.
Receive an Individual Quotation
Your quotation is based on the treatment recommended after assessment. Before confirming your plans, review what is included, the payment arrangements and any potential additional expenses.
Your travel budget should also allow for flights, accommodation, daily expenses and flexibility if your stay needs to be extended.
Prepare Before You Travel
Once your consultation has clarified the next steps, organise your travel documents and accommodation around the proposed appointment schedule.
Provide accurate health information and follow your treating doctor’s preparation instructions. Do not stop or change prescribed medication without medical advice.
If you are travelling from Australia, discuss your plans with your usual doctor and check insurance coverage and exclusions directly with your insurer.
Allow Time for Recovery
Your stay should allow time for assessment, treatment, rest and follow-up appointments. The recommended duration depends on the procedure, your health and your recovery progress.
Choose comfortable accommodation with practical access to appointments. Discuss whether you will need a companion or help with everyday activities.
Your treating surgeon will advise when you may be ready to fly. Keep your return arrangements flexible rather than relying on a fixed recovery timeline.
Plan Your Follow-up Care
Before returning home, make sure you understand your aftercare instructions, follow-up schedule and whom to contact if you have concerns.
Keep copies of relevant medical records and clarify how to access care after leaving Vietnam. Online follow-up can support communication, but an in-person examination may be necessary.
