Cosmetic surgery is surgery which is specific to enhancing ones physical appearance. This is in contrast to the term plastic surgery which is surgery dedicated to both beauty enhancements and reshaping normal structures of the body in order to improve the patient’s appearance and self-esteem as well as reconstruction of abnormalities caused by birth defects, tumors and aging. Reconstructive plastic surgery hence implies an extension of the plastic surgeon’s activities to more reconstructive procedures such as head and neck reconstruction, hand or extremity reconstruction, and breast reconstruction.

Plastic surgery in Thailand is a natural choice. Patients can recuperate at one of the many tropical resorts. More and more people from all over the world have opted for a holiday in Thailand combined with plastic surgery at prices considerably cheaper than what they would have to pay for the plastic surgery alone in their countries.

In Thai cosmetic surgery clinics there are several procedures that are very popular: nose reshaping, eyelid surgery, liposuction, hair transplantation, and breast reduction. Another cosmetic surgery that Thailand has gained recognition for the world over is sex change surgery – Thailand is the first choice for people who cannot get treatment at home for
complex medical procedures.

Combine this with world-class cosmetic surgery facilities at very reasonable prices compared to Western countries and you have an almost irresistible deal: economically improve your appearance and self-esteem during a pleasant holiday.
