Getting plastic surgery in another country is a big decision — and it’s important to be well-prepared. Vietnam is becoming a popular destination for safe, affordable, and high-quality cosmetic procedures. If you’re planning to travel here for treatment, this guide will help you feel confident and ready.
1. Do Your Research First
Before booking a flight or surgery, make sure you:
Choose a trusted clinic with real patient reviews
Check the doctor’s qualifications and experience
Look at before-after photos of real results
At Dr. Koko’s Clinic, we offer free online consultations so you can ask questions, get honest advice, and see if you’re a good candidate before traveling.
2. Know What Procedure You Want
It helps to have a clear idea of the treatment you're interested in — like:
Rhinoplasty (nose job)
Eyelid surgery
Liposuction
Breast augmentation
Botox or fillers
You don’t need to know everything — that’s what the consultation is for! But a general idea will help the doctor prepare a plan that fits your goals.
3. Understand the Recovery Time
Most procedures will need a few days to a few weeks of recovery. Plan to:
Stay in Vietnam long enough for healing and follow-ups
Rest, avoid intense travel or activities
Follow post-surgery care from the clinic
Tip: Many patients stay 7–14 days depending on the treatment.
4. Prepare Travel Documents & Health Info
Before your trip:
Make sure your passport is valid
Get a tourist visa if needed
Share your medical history and current medications with the clinic
At Dr. Koko’s Clinic, we’ll guide you through all the paperwork and help you stay safe.
5. Plan Your Stay in Advance
It’s best to book:
A clean, quiet hotel near the clinic
Airport pickup (we can help with that!)
Meals and rest days for after your surgery
We also assist with hotel recommendations and local travel tips so you can focus on recovery — not stress.
6. Ask About Aftercare
After surgery, proper care is very important. Good clinics will:
Offer in-person or online follow-ups
Give you aftercare instructions and medicine
Be available if you have any concerns
Dr. Koko’s team stays in touch with our patients — even after they return home.
Final Tip: Choose a Clinic That Cares
Getting cosmetic surgery abroad doesn’t have to be scary. With the right clinic, you’ll feel safe, informed, and cared for.
At Dr. Koko’s Clinic, we’re proud to treat many international patients — especially from Indonesia and Southeast Asia — who trust us for honest advice, natural results, and personal care.
