Very impressive service
I highly recommend this hospital and very much satisfied with the services. From giving us transportation facilities to assisting us in every way possible. The doctors and assistants took care of our every concern and was very much polite in their behaviour. Specially thanks to Mr. Ernie Roy Valencia for taking such care of us.
The international coordination team have been very supportive. Very good service. And the doctors were also amazing. They deserve a 5 star from me!
I've only had good experiences here. It's pricey but you can make actual appointments, for which you are generally seen on time, and the checkout process is efficient. The staff are well-trained and the bureaucratic process is well-refined. Of course, the doctors are top notch. Value added: it's a very nice hospital in aesthetic terms.
I did my full medical checkup here on Friday(with prior appointment). It was really amazing 5 stars experience and here are the positive things about this hospital -Free transportation for the patients from Bangkok international airport to the Hospital or hotels nearby. -Professional and enough staff available to help you. -Amazing ambience, clean, decorated like a 5 stars hotel!! -It took around 4 hours to complete the whole checkup including meeting the Doctor for the results (written report will get after 2 days) -If you speak Arabic, this is best place for you as they have translators and some staff knows some Arabic words. -open mini-buffet included if you take the medical checkup. Here are the only 2 negatives -This hospital prices are high compared to other hospitals in bangkok. But it worth it as you will feel at home!! Clean, helpful and always smiling and welcoming staff!! Well organized place. -It takes more waiting time at the x-ray and ultrasound, however, it is mentioned that the whole checkup takes around 4 to 6 hours. It took 4 hours. Five stars to the best hospital I have ever been!!!
Rude staffs. The doctors insisted on running multiple tests on my mom and still misdiagnosed (telling her she most likely has a cancer when she only has pelvic adhesion). They also gave us very little information on what is going on and why certain procedures were done. We later transferred to a public hospital and got much better care.
I haa been done for surgery at here good service and good quality.
A very nice hospital to say at least. It works like a charm! Friendly and professional staff in modern hospital buildings. I could not complain on any thing.
I was treated very rudely by the staff and was neglected by my physician from the time my payment when through until the time I left. Yes, you pay upfront. This is so sketchy because if you’re in a bad state, as I was, they can literally just say, “you get what you get and if you don’t like it you’re free to leave. We will keep your money and you can continue to suffer”. I spent 24 hours at this facility on 11/12/2019. I had severe dehydration, moderate-severe pain, and my blood pressure was at a dangerously high level. At no point did I feel like anyone was looking after my best interests, only their profit margin. I would have left far sooner if I thought I wasn’t at serious risk of collapsing AND had not already paid for 24-hours of care. Although I do blame myself for a not having my travellers insurance sorted out completely before my trip, there is still no excuse for them to take advantage of people in their most vulnerable state. I am not angry but I am sad.

BOTCHED LIPOSUCTION - PLEASE READ Urban Beauty sent me here 10 months ago. Here is my horrifying story with terrible results. I made an appointment through Line and was brought to a clinic called the SIB Clinic. I consulted with Dr. Darin for upper and lower liposuction using the Bodytite machine. Mind you, I am not overweight, 5 foot 6 and 57 kg. I’ve always had an apple body and any fat I have sits in my stomach. I booked by surgery date and opted to do it under twilight sedation because I’ve had terrible experiences under general anesthesia. Before the surgery, I had to go to a hospital and get a bunch of tests done, AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) and the TB test is for patients because they have a breathing tube under general anesthesia. Even though I was doing the twilight sedation, I still had to go through with the TB test and pay for it! How does that make any sense? On surgery day, Dr. Darin started 2 hours later than scheduled. She didn’t apologize, didn’t say much at all and has a very quiet, non-personable demeanor. She marked my stomach up and I laid in the operating room and had an IV. All of sudden, I felt an intense burning sensation in my veins, and as the sedation increased into my veins, so did the excruciating pain. I started panicking and yelling for help and EVERYONE IN THE OPERATING ROOM IGNORED ME. I suddenly fell asleep. How could I have fallen asleep under twilight sedation? I went from being more aware than ever, thinking I was ready to die, to passed out with no recollection of the surgery. I woke up feeling very disoriented and I remember having to pee in a cup on the operating bed while I recovered. Dr. Darin didn’t even send me home in a compression garment. My stomach was wrapped in an elastic band and metal clips (those bandages you use when you sprain an ankle). I was in a ton of pain and did not sleep because the bandages scrunched up around my abdomen. I went back the next day to get my compression garment. They had a catalogue and didn’t have the one I tought provided the best support. I asked Dr. Darin why this wasn’t arranged before my surgery and why I didn’t get sent home in a compression garment and she said “in case I bled or there were fluids coming out of the wounds” which makes no sense, the 3mm wounds that were stitched shut had thick gauzes taped over them and there was no fluid on the bandaids. The recovery was ok, I was off pain medication at day 3 post op, and I just wore my compression garment 24/7. My stomach was very lumpy and tight and I did RF massages 3 times a week for the first 2 months to try to knead out the lumpiness. As the lumps and tightness went away, I started losing hope that I’d have nice results. I have white stitch scars over my scars because my skin grew over my stitches before they were taken out. Dr. Darin took out an uneven amount of fat in my lower abdomen and barely touched my upper abdomen (and I paid for my upper abdomen to be done) and now my upper abdomen folds over my lower abdomen making it impossible to see my belly button. Now my belly button gathers dry scabs and I need to clean it all the time with a Q-tip. The psychological damage this surgery has done on me is indescribable. I wanted to wait a full year to give Dr. Darin a fair and honest review but 10 months out, I can’t let anyone suffer the way I am now. There is no way I’d ever wear a bikini or even be intimate with someone looking the way I do. It is the biggest burden and insecurity I have and I can’t believe Dr. Darin could create such a careless, rushed result. I know that if she put my before and after photos on her website, no one would book a surgery with her. My message to Urban Beauty, please remove the SIB Clinic from your brokerage. Dr. Darin ruined my body and all of my confidence. I would not go to her again even if she offered a free revision. Look at my photos, is this what you'd envision your liposuction results to look like?
Doctor Darin is so a gentle and nice person. She's very professional. Her staffs are so approachable and informative. Excellent job! Now I feel more sexier. Thanks!!
Very bad doctors not friendly look moody all the time especially the doctor who did the scan she never smile, they couldn’t speak English just only word by word, not clear explanation, waited too long more than an hour to get it done, not good service, charged for interpretation 550 baht but the document was already in English not worth to pay for it, cheating not recommended. Go somewhere else if you don’t want to waste of your time and money.
Fantastic Drs , fantastic service with fair prices, JCI hospital
I did one thread lifting in december 2019 in this clinic and on the 21ft January I asked for help and advice because one thread pokes out of the skin and my skin still very ignited. I asked what should I do and asked for urgently advice. Until now I have no answer and they ignore me definitely. After doing the payment they will not help you anymore! I'm very disappointed and will not come back. Bangkok has another clinics and I will try another one.
Highly trained staff who speak English, Korean and Thai. They not only offer the best cosmetic treatments to a Korean (the highest) standard, the doctor will also provide honest and easy to understand advice that is genuinely tailored to your needs. Will definitely visit again.
Edit: An ‘ethical’ clinic that divulges information about your medical condition online without your permission. Ha. Also, I don’t see the logic in the clinic saying that the total expense is only 500 baht. Yes, 500 baht may seem reasonable for a regular doctor consultation and medication, BUT you advertised your consultation as free of charge, so 500 baht is only for a tiny bottle of medicine, which I can get from the pharmacy for much cheaper!! It’s almost like you are trying to cover your costs through charging exorbitant prices for medication! And by the way, your doctor did NOT give a thorough inspection or consultation like you tried to justify. I was the one who had to keep prompting and asking!! You wanted to give me TWO medicine costing 1000 baht in total, and again I had to explicitly ask loads of questions to find out what they were and what they were supposed to do. It’s frustrating. I rejected one medicine bringing cost down to 500. Total rip off. They lure you in with free consultation but grossly over charge for medication. Dermatologist (female) was very vague with her explanations and showed little interest in giving advice. Spent less than 5 seconds looking at my skin condition. Translating staff tried to be helpful but gave incorrect information about the medication. I found the same type of medication in the pharmacy for ONE FIFTH the price. Will not return!
This review is for last December Visiting. Staff were helpful and hospitality. The appointment was on time to consult with doctor who was kind and considerate. She was incredibly helpful and answer my all questions with medical reasons. So, I left this review that happy with the results. And special thanks for your advise to the fantastic local street food near your place, I loved them too.
I had breast implants done here 2 years ago with dr witoon ... best experience and best surgeon not a single problem or complaint.. I'll go back there for sure
Came here the first time for consultation after doing some google research. But google research won’t be enough because thai people don’t really use google and not all the people that came here did the reviews. So I’m going to tell you what to do. Book an online appointment (consultation or surgery) or make a call to the PPSI (Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute). They’ll tell you what to do, when to come, and approximation of the fees. Go here as scheduled. Though the PPSI personnel are able to speak English fluently the other staff here don’t. Go straight to 4th floor (PPSI floor) and do what you need to do here. If you don’t know how to get here in the first place, take Local Bus Line 1 from Bus Terminal 1 (Pink bus with number 1 on it) 15 TB/person and asked for Big C as destination, PPSI just next to it. If you want to leave after surgery I suggest you book a rental car. If not you can take Local Bus Line 1 again to Bus Terminal 1.

FAQ about Liposuction in Thailand
What is liposuction?
Liposuction is a plastic operation to remove a certain amount of fatty tissue through small punctures on the skin using specialized equipment. The lipo is divided into different types depending on the area should be operated (abdominal liposuction, buttock liposuction, neck lipo, knee liposuction, and so on).
BMI (body mass index) |
under 35 kg/m2 |
Duration |
1-5 hours |
In-hospital stay |
2 days |
Recovery period |
2-3 weeks |
Who benefits the lipo?
The main indication for the surgery is excess fat that deforms the body contours. Surgeons perform liposuction locally, in particular on the abdomen, thighs, knees, neck, buttocks, etc.
The procedure is suitable for people who have excess weight with BMI (body mass index) under 35. For overweight people, lipo is an excellent option to get a perfect body and regain your figure factly.
Liposuction is best for people with the right skin tone and elasticity because it forms a new contour of the body without wrinkles.
A person must be over 18 years old and have good health status. Those with severe chronic illnesses cannot undergo this procedure.
What is preoperative preparation for liposuction?
Before liposuction, a patient undergoes the lab tests. They include blood and urine analysis, ECG.
A plastic surgeon examines a patient and discusses the volume of intervention. Then an anesthesiologist determines the type of anesthesia.
If there are no contraindications, the liposuction is assigned the next day.
What is the liposuction process?
Doctors conduct liposuction under local or general anesthesia. The anesthetic type depends on the location of the problem area and its size.
Then a plastic surgeon starts liposuction. A specialist uses a thin tube-shaped instrument called a cannula. Through the 3-6 mm incisions, fat is pumped out.
The procedure is carried out very slowly and carefully to avoid the nerves and vessel injuries, to save asymmetry of body contours.
The liposuction of one area takes 1-1.5 hours. If a doctor operates several areas, the duration of the procedure is prolonged up to 5 hours.
In some cases, specialists perform abdominoplasty after abdomen liposuction. It helps to achieve a better result and avoid asymmetry.
Find out more information on the lipo surgery process in the video.
What rules should I follow during postoperative rehabilitation?
Just after the surgery, a doctor places a special bandage on the operating area. It speeds up the recovery of tissues, reduces swelling, and improves skin retraction. This bandage is prescribed to be worn for 4-10 weeks.
The hospitalization after liposuction is 2 days in most cases. If there are no complications, and the area for surgical intervention is small, a patient is discharged after the procedure. In other cases, liposuction takes up to 2 days.
A patient stays in the country for 10 days. The sutures are removed in 7 days. A patient can return to the usual lifestyle in 2-3 weeks.
To maintain the new body shape, it is necessary to keep a diet and lead an active lifestyle — otherwise, the overweight returns.
What results can I expect after liposuction?
Liposuction results are not noticeable until the swelling decreases. In some cases, this process may take several months. Most of the edema (swelling caused by fluid retention) reduces in about 4 weeks, and the area where the fat has been removed becomes less extensive.
People keeping fit usually get excellent and consistent results. Those gaining weight after the procedure may find that their fat distribution changes. For example, people who previously have had fat accumulation in their thighs may find that their buttocks are becoming a new problem area.
What are the risks of lipo?
Any serious surgery is associated with a risk of bleeding, infection, and an adverse reaction to anesthesia.
The risk of complications is usually related to the procedure extensiveness and surgeon’s skills.
The following risks, unpleasant side effects or complications are possible:
- bruising — can last for several weeks
- inflammation — may take up to 6 months
- thrombophlebitis — a blood clot in a vein formation
- contours roughness — if the skin has low elasticity, the skin may look saggy and wavy
- numbness — the affected area may feel numb, but usually, it is temporary
- infections — rarely, skin infection may occur after liposuction surgery; sometimes it needs to be treated surgically, with the risk of scarring
- kidney or heart problems — as fluids are injected during the operation, changes in fluid levels in the body can cause kidney or heart problems (therefore, there is a limit on the amount of fat removed)
- pulmonary embolism — fat enters the blood vessels and lungs, blocking blood circulation in the lungs
- allergic reaction — the patient may be allergic to drugs or materials used during the surgery
- skin burns — the cannula movement can cause injuries on the skin that is especially characteristic for ultrasonic and laser liposuction.
What areas are intended for liposuction?
The lipo is performed on the following body areas:

What is the level of medicine in Thailand?
Healthcare is the key development sector of the Thai government. The Thai authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 25 billion bahtfor healthcare annually.
As a result, 36,673 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. 64 centers in the Kingdom have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare,Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.
Why is Thailand trendy for medical tourism?
The Kingdom of Thailand is also a well-known country globally due to high-skilled doctors that undergo internships in American and European institutions. Patients from Japan, China, Myanmar and the Middle Eastern countries prefer treatment in Thailand to other places.
Highly developed medical centers and first-rate therapeutic services at affordable prices attract people from all over the world. Over 2.5 mln international patients travel to Thailand annually. So Thailand is among Top 10 countries with the most developed medical tourism sector.
Thailand is a top destination for medical tourists because of low-costs. You may save up to 75% on services compared to European countries or the USA due to the average local citizens' income and general price policy within the country.
What hotel service is provided here?
In the Kingdom of Thailand, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Thai hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.
When is the best time to travel to Thailand?
The main advantage of Thai resorts is the long beach season. On the east coast and west coast the climate features are different, so take it into account when planning the trip. The best time to travel is during the cool and dry season between November and early April. A large influx of tourists is in March-May, when the air temperature is +30°C.
