What to Know Before Traveling for Plastic Surgery in Vietnam

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.
