Surgery
at Dr. Pichets |
| Surgery at Dr. Pichets - |
is more than just surgery
. It is worldclass care,
compassion, curtesy without limits and an interest in
you as a person, not just a patient, that is almost
overwhelming.
When I set out to browse the net for prices on the surgery
I wanted done, Dr. Pichet was one of the surgeons I
stumbled over. I checked out a number of other places
inThailand and found him to be the cheapest actually
some of the prices I found were twice as high as his
The fact that his price was so low actually made me
more suspecious at first, but the more I checked him
out, the more confident I became.
The Royal Danish Embassy in Bangkok did not actually
recommend Dr. Pichet, but they knew him as a Board Certified
surgeon with a good reputation. The Royal Thai Embassy
in Denmark said the same.
I also contacted 3 of Dr. Pichets former patients. I
found their e-mail addresses in the testimonials. One
wrote back to me Jane Ducidre from England. She answered
all my questions thoroughly and ended her mail writing
stop worrying, just go!
So I did and there is absolutely no regrets whatsoever!
My son and I came to Bangkok on june 18th at noon and
Dr. Pichet and his staff literally took us by the hand
the minute we landed at the airport and they didnt
let go untill 2 weeks later when we were back on the
plane and homebound again. We were always being picked
up by one of the two drivers from Dr. Pichets clinic
and taken straight to whereever we might be going
even sight-seeing!!!! Never ever were we left on our
own to take a taxi unless we specificly said we wanted
to do so.
During our stay I received all possible kinds of care,
both before and after surgery, while I was admitted
to the hospital and after that while we stayed at the
Princeton Park Suites hotel.
On day 2 after surgery I got rather sick, naucious and
dizzy, so Dr. Pichet had a general physician come and
check me up immediately and again the next day absolutely
nothing was left to charge.
When I had trouble chewing the food provided by the
hospital (I had a facelift), softer food was simply
just ordered for me outside the hospital. All the time
my son stayed with me in the same room at no extra cost
bed, food and everything! Even a hairdresser and footmassage
was paid for by Dr. Pichet! I felt like a princess!
Being discharged from hospital my son and I went out
on our own to do a lot of sight-seeing and shopping.
As my surgery allowed me to move about fairly quickly
we started out to do end see things already on the day
of discharge. I know for a fact thought, that had we
asked for it, the clinic would have provided us with
one of their drivers to take us anywhere we wanted.
We preferred to find our own way around though.
Every other day I was brought into the clinic to get
a full check-up and to get wounds cleaned up and re-dressed.
And every other day when I did not have an appointment,
I would get a phone call in the morning from the clinic
to see if I had slept all right, if I had any pains
or swelling and if the healing was coming along allright.
Again nothing was left to charge.
All the doubts I had about going to a foreign country
with different customs and ways of life and let a to
me- completely unknow surgeon of whose skills I had
learned only very little let him sedate me and put
a knife to my face (and other precoius parts) were completely
washed away when I first got to meet Dr. Pichet.
Dr. Pichet filled me with confidence and trust during
our hour-long talk at the clinic. I like the way he
listens to you and relates to your wishes. He sees the
pros and cons of your requests and tells you so.
Also I was very releived to see the professionalism
of the Wibhawadi Hospital during all the test I had
to go through before surgery once again nothing was
left to chance. Everything was checked - blood, urine,
X-ray, ultrasound, ECG etc etc.
Dr. Pichet has 15 years of experience as a cosmetic
surgeon and I must say, he knows his job! The results
are amazing. Check out the before and after pictures
on his website and see for yourselves.
For my own parts I can only say that I returned home
happier and more beautiful than I had dared hope for.
Thanks to you, Dr. Pichet!

Breast
Augmentation Surgery from one of Australian patient. |
| |
My name is Rebecca, I am 24 years
old living in Australia. I am a mum & work as a
dancer. The aim of the surgery was to improve my small
A cup breasts to a large B or small C cup size......about
the same as I was before having my boys. Not to mention
the fact that my new boobs would help my job prospects.
A year earlier I had looked at having the surgery done
in Australia but the costs had been progressively ballooning
and I had seen & heard some nightmare stories that
I put down to a lack of practice by the surgeons because
of our small population. So I went looking for a surgeon
overseas because of the sheer volume associated with
the Plastic Surgery Travel boom.
To be honest, I had seen some of the best looking women
in the world and they had started life as men.......Thailand
seemed to be the centre of this industry.
After 8 months of research, I finally felt confident
in selecting Dr Pichet to do my Breast Augmentation
surgery. Many e-mails had been sent and the answers
were always back quickly with any information requested.
The beauty of the Web is that you can get lots of information
on Plastic surgeons, both good & bad. I had read
the lot, filtered the B.S. & believed that my decision
was a good one.
I felt I had all the answers but it was not until I
got to Bangkok that the full weight of my decision dawned
on me. I was about to experience a bit of a culture
shock.
My partner & I had originally planned to fly in
and have the surgery done straight away. As luck would
have it, we got to fly to Thailand 5 days earlier than
planned and decided to spend them in Pattaya, holidaying.
I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS. The time to relax
is a bonus, not to mention the additional shopping time....hehe.
You will not feel much like enjoying yourself for a
few days after the surgery. About 6 days after my surgery,
we went back to Pattaya to finish off the trip &
I was only just starting to come good. Take a few days
to relax........It definitely made the whole experience
better.
We arrived back in Bangkok on January 4, 2006 to see
the doctor and it was at this point that I had a few
doubts. You see, Dr Pichet had been so professional
in all our correspondence that I had assumed he would
have a BIG FLASHY surgery.
When we arrived to do the checkups & documentation
I was presented with a small 2 storey building packed
with desks and staff. Don't get me wrong, it was clean
& neat but small. My images evaporated. I was wondering
what I had got myself into. Luckily, talking to the
doctor made me feel a bit better. He is very straight
forward & professional in person. He also mentioned
that he was aware of this Western medical perception
& that he was planning a move to more traditional
premises. It shouldn't matter but it did for a while.
Within the hour, we had completed the documentation,
photos & had checked in to our hotel. Dr Pichet's
driver (a great man called Hai), picked my partner &
I up from the hotel to go to the hospital. It was about
11am & surgery was scheduled for 1pm as I had already
been fasting. On arrival at the grand Private Hospital
I was met by one of Dr Pichet's nurses & fast tracked
through the X-ray process & testing. I DO MEAN FAST
TRACKED! I was in my very comfortable private room by
12. It had cable TV, private bathroom....all the mod
cons. It was better than most hospitals I have seen
in Australia, including the private ones.
All my pain killers, Anti inflammatory & Antibiotic
drugs had been supplied to the hospital by the doctor
as part of his service. The hospital staff were great
during my 2 day stay and the meals were restaurant quality.......even
though I did not eat many of them. I am not a fan of
pain & you will experience your fair share......but
again, if the oral pain killers were not doing the job
then the hospital nurses happily administered some additional
help through the IV, plus the odd sleeping tablet to
help during the nights. AGAIN......NO CHARGE.
Surgery went off on time & without a hitch. I was
back in my room about 2.30pm. The nurses did 15 minute
blood pressure checks for 2 hours after surgery. After
surgery, you are strapped up with a VERY TIGHT bandage
to keep the implants in place while healing. I felt
like I couldn't breath & wanted it off immediately.
This is evidently quite common & the doctor made
it very clear that the bandage was going to stay on
for the next couple of days or I was to prepare to have
the surgery done again. He won that battle although
I did complain regularly to my partner (Who stayed with
me in the hospital room during my 2 days, at no additional
cost). IF YOU CAN, HAVE SOME EMOTIONAL SUPPORT WITH
YOU, IT DOES HELP!
I had chosen to have my 275cc implants done from under
the arm & under the pectoral muscle. I believe this
is a slightly more painful procedure but I am very glad
that I had it done this way. The 50mm long armpit scars
are disappearing nicely and the breast shape is very
natural.
The new textured silicon gel implants feel very natural
& also have some good properties in the unlikely
event that they should ever be punctured. The procedure
makes it hard for you to lift your arms above your head
but 4 weeks down the track I am improving with a bit
of exercise. Another couple of weeks & I will be
back to normal.
Another bonus in dealing with Dr Pichet is his assistant,
Mrs Mao. She is a lovely lady who only a phone call
away. She organised everything for us, from trips to
local shopping centres, to transport to Pattaya (with
Hai because "he is safe") and even talking
with taxi drivers who couldn't find their way back to
our hotel. Mrs Mao was a real bonus to us.
All in all, the whole experience has been a great one.
I love my new boobs ( and play with them daily....hehe).
Dr Pichet is a very good surgeon, the hospital was great
and the end results justify the pain. I couldn't be
more happy ( and I am definitely happier than an acquaintance
of mine that had hers done in Sydney a month earlier
at triple the price).
I had a great holiday in lovely Thailand. Had some excellent
surgery done. Shopped like a demon for some great new
cloths to suit my new body shape and met some fine people.........what
more could a girl ask for?
I highly recommend Dr Pichet's service & would happily
go back to him for other services he provides.
I hope this will help any prospective Augmentation patients.
Rebecca.
