Not Sure Which Plastic Surgery Procedure Is Right for You?

You do not need to know the name of a procedure before contacting Dr. Koko Vietnam.

Some patients already know they are considering rhinoplasty, breast augmentation or liposuction. Others simply know what they would like to improve but are unsure which treatment may be appropriate.

You can start by telling us what you would like to change.

The Dr. Koko Vietnam international patient team can help you prepare for consultation and coordinate the next steps. Medical assessment, treatment suitability and surgical recommendations are determined by the appropriate licensed medical professionals.

Start With Your Goals, Not a Procedure Name

It is completely normal to be unsure which procedure you need.

You may be thinking:

• “I want my nose to look more balanced with my face.”

• “My eyes make me look tired.”

• “I want my face to look fresher.”

• “I want a more defined lower face or jawline.”

• “I want to change the size or shape of my breasts.”

• “My breasts have changed after pregnancy or weight changes.”

• “I have abdominal fat or loose skin.”

• “I want to improve my body shape.”

• “I want to change several areas but I do not know where to start.”

You do not need to choose the procedure yourself.

Your anatomy, health, previous procedures and treatment goals all need to be considered before an appropriate treatment plan can be recommended.

If Your Main Concern Is Your Nose

People considering nose surgery may have very different goals.

You may want to improve the bridge, tip, nostrils, overall proportion or the appearance of a nose that has previously been operated on.

Depending on your anatomy and treatment goals, the surgeon may discuss options such as rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, nostril reduction or another appropriate approach.

A photograph can help with an initial assessment, but the final surgical plan requires appropriate medical evaluation and in-person assessment.

If Your Main Concern Is Your Eyes

Some patients feel that their eyes look tired, heavy or less defined.

The cause may involve the eyelid crease, excess skin, tissue around the eyes or another anatomical factor.

Depending on your individual assessment, treatment options may include eyelid surgery or another appropriate approach.

Not every eye concern requires the same procedure.

If Your Concern Is Facial Aging or Facial Shape

Changes in the face can involve skin, soft tissue, fat distribution, muscle activity or facial structure.

For example, a patient concerned about the lower face or jawline may have a completely different underlying issue from someone concerned about facial aging.

Depending on the individual case, consultation may involve discussion of facelift procedures, facial contouring, fat grafting or suitable non-surgical treatments.

The surgeon should first determine what is causing the concern before recommending treatment.

If Your Main Concern Is Your Breasts

You do not need to decide between augmentation, lift or revision surgery before consultation.

Tell us what you would like to change.

Common concerns may include:

• Breast size

• Shape

• Position

• Asymmetry

• Changes after pregnancy or weight loss

• Existing breast implants

• A previous breast procedure

Depending on your anatomy, previous surgery and goals, the surgeon may discuss breast augmentation, breast lift, implant revision or another appropriate treatment plan.

If Your Main Concern Is Your Abdomen

Abdominal concerns are not all the same.

Some patients are mainly concerned about localized fat. Others may have loose skin, changes in the abdominal muscles or a combination of concerns.

Liposuction removes selected areas of fat but does not directly remove significant excess skin.

A tummy tuck addresses different anatomical concerns.

This is why the surgeon needs to assess your abdomen before deciding whether liposuction, tummy tuck, another procedure or no surgery may be appropriate.

If You Want to Improve Your Body Shape

Body contouring may involve one area or several areas.

Patients commonly ask about the abdomen, waist, back, arms, thighs or other areas.

The appropriate treatment depends on factors such as:

• Fat distribution

• Skin quality

• Anatomy

• Previous procedures

• Overall health

• The number of areas being considered

• Your treatment goals

The surgeon determines which treatment and extent of surgery may be appropriate after assessment.

What If You Want a Bigger Transformation?

Some patients contact us because they want to improve several areas rather than one isolated concern.

For example, you may be thinking about changes involving your face, breasts and body.

Tell us all of your concerns during consultation.

This does not automatically mean that several procedures should be performed during the same surgery.

Your surgeon needs to consider your health, anatomy, treatment priorities and the extent of surgery before determining whether treatments may be combined, staged or approached separately.

The goal of consultation is to create a plan based on your individual priorities rather than simply adding procedures together.

What Photos Should You Send?

For an initial online assessment, you may be asked to send clear, recent photographs of the areas you would like assessed.

Try to use:

• Good natural lighting

• No filters

• A plain background when possible

• Clear front and side views

• Additional angles when requested

For facial concerns, you may be asked for front, side and three-quarter photographs.

For breast or body concerns, the international patient team will explain which views are useful for your consultation.

Only send photographs through the communication method provided by the Dr. Koko Vietnam international patient team.

• What you would like to change

• Your treatment goals

• Age

• Height and weight when relevant

• Relevant medical conditions

• Previous cosmetic procedures or surgeries

How Your Online Consultation Works

You can begin before travelling to Vietnam.

Tell Us What You Want to Change → Clear Photos & Relevant Medical Information → Initial Assessment → Personalized Treatment Plan → Individual Quotation → Plan Your Vietnam Trip

The online consultation helps the medical team understand your concerns and provides an initial assessment.

It does not replace the medical evaluation and in-person assessment required to confirm a final surgical plan.

Your Health and Suitability Are Checked First

Before surgery, your surgeon will review your medical history, current health, anatomy, previous procedures when relevant and treatment goals.

Any examinations, medical tests or imaging required for your individual case will be arranged as part of the assessment process.

This helps determine whether a proposed treatment is appropriate for you and which approach may be considered.

The surgeon will also explain the treatment plan, expected recovery and important considerations before you decide whether to proceed.

Your Personalized Treatment Plan

There is no single procedure or treatment plan that is appropriate for every patient.

After assessment, your surgeon can explain which treatment options may be suitable for your individual anatomy and goals.

The proposed plan may be different from the procedure you originally expected.

That is why it is better to begin with what you want to change rather than trying to diagnose yourself or select surgery based only on photographs or information found online.

Your Individual Quotation

Dr. Koko Vietnam does not use one standard price or treatment plan for every patient.

The appropriate procedure, surgical technique and extent of treatment are determined after consultation and assessment.

Once an initial treatment plan has been prepared, the Dr. Koko Vietnam international patient team can provide an individual quotation based on your case.

You can review the proposed treatment plan and quotation before planning your surgery trip.
