I have just returned to my room at the Atrium Boutique Hotel in Bangkok after my final post-op visit with Dr. Pichet for a BA+Lift revision.. The first one was done by Dr. Pichet in end of Feb 2009, but resulted in my not being 100% satisfied. If anyone knows my character, this is nothing shocking.

After the first surgery in Feb'09, all went well until I realized that once my breasts had dropped and fluffed (PO 3rd month), they were not exactly the same. Now looking back at my photos of before&after, I should have noticed this before, as I have a titanium rod in my spine, it was evident that this was something I should have told Dr.Pichet with more conviction. You see, I have one shoulder higher than the other and this is difficult to see unless you are told of it. I was so focused on the nipple incisions healing at the time, that I never stopped to check the shape of the breasts...

Sometime last May i began to consider taking up Dr.Pichet's offer to return to Bangkok and undergo a free revision. Upon my first visit to doctor Pichet for a BA+Lift (300CC-cohesive gel block, under muscle, areola incision) and a Mini-TT, I remembered having signed a contract stating that if I were not satisfied completely, a free revision could be performed. I then waited until June to see if I truly wasn't dreaming about seeing a pair of lopsided breasts in the mirror...and spoke to my husband. He knew I was unhappy about them but knew that no matter how many times he told me I was beautiful, my mind was set. Furthermore, both his mother and father are retired renowned plastic surgeons, so I really didn't want my breasts and tummy to become a topic of conversation at this year's Christmas dinner.

I must be frank, it also took me awhile to write this testimonial since I had sworn I would write one for the doc's website... but at the time back in Feb09, I was not entirely sure of the final FINAL end result, and i certainly didn't want to write one while I was uncertain about my feelings about Dr. Pichet's talents as a surgeon.

One thing is for sure, I would recommend Dr. Pichet for the procedures he has done in my case... His wife, Mrs Mao and the rest of his staff are amazing. For example, last Feb, due to my double surgery and annoying rod in my back (placed there 20 years ago), I found myself one night in my hotel room, UNABLE to get up! Splaying my limbs around like a cockroach on its back, I finally reached the phone, it was 9pm, and within 10 mns, a flurry of nurses had the door opened, they were running around cleaning up, fluffling pillows and fussing all around me...Seriously, where in the world would you get this type of service???? One nurse actually slept with me, and had to leave for med school classes the next morning, only to be immediately replaced by a 2nd nurse the next morning! Wow, I mean where in the world....?

Another day during my first 10night stay, a driver was sent to my room to deliver sleeping pills because I had run out...oh and, the day where I was accompanied by Mrs Mao to sit around Thai Airways offices for 3 hours to get my tickets changed!! No hospital staff has ever been, or ever will be (I am sure) be so caring and helpful with a patient. When you think that some patients come to an unknown country alone to undergo major surgery, trust me, it's a blessing to know that you have people who understand your needs.

This time around, the surgery was minor, a quick skin snip and stitch, so nothing major like back in Feb, but...and despite the fact that I wasnt paying for any medical services, the staff was just as accomodating as the first time...even a punctual phone call from Mrs Mao to check on my status everyday was very welcome. Again, I must say that I am a fussy person and I insited to my husband that I come alone. In the end, I knew from my first experience that I wasn't going to be totally on my own. Dr. Pichet's hospitality is nothing less than incredible.

To Dr. Pichet Rodchareon M.D.and staff.

I wish you to distribute my thank you to the appropriate staff please.
(translated as best you can to help understanding).
I wanted to write a special thank you to you Dr. Pichet and all your staff who made my stay in Thailand very pleasant.
I am especially impressed with Mrs Mao who helped comfort me before my
surgery and as I got to know her I realized I am lucky to know such a truly
wonderful human being as her, I can honestly say I came to love her.
All the staff brightened up my stay in Bangkok and made my surgery a much
less stressful experience. Thank you for making me feel welcome, and caring for
me in positive manner. My affection for many of the staff left me sad to leave
but I realized my life has become rich for having the opportunity to meet such
wonderful people.
Dr. Pichet too demonstrated that his interest was more than business but
that he really cared about his clients.I want to say thank you to all, you have given me a gift of making my life
better to meet such wonderful people, I am truly privileged to have meet you.

Again my thanks and love,
Melinda from USA.

It's our pleasure to join with you. I have never worked with as wonderful and caring a person as you are. Your integrity and sense of duty to your patients is amazing.

I want to thank all of you staff for doing much, much more than we normally get, here in the United States to make us comfortable and help us heal.

Mr Hein is a true friend and was never failing to help us in every way. From the time we arrived at the airport to the time he dropped us off to leave, he treated us like ladies in every way. I'm crying now because I miss him.

Mrs. Mao went with us to help us with the communication difference. She is just like a mother to us. We knew if we ever had a problem, all we had to do was call her, and the problem was solved. We love her so dearly.

Tau, she always made us feel special. Always arranging things for us to do, or asking us what we would like to do and getting it done. She is a wonderful plus on your staff.

Teek, give her a kiss for us. From the entrance to the hospital to, staying with us each night until we were strong enough to stay by ourselves, she is an angel. Making sure that we had no difficulties, she gave us her all.

Won, always touching and hugging us, she is so sweet. we don't get hugs like that from even our children. It's so hard to be home, where people don't care. Won cares so very much. we miss her.

Lek, Treated us each day with such care and compassion, making sure we were doing things the right way. Joking with me about boyfriends and keeping me happy.
She is so much more than a nurse. Nurses around here should take lessons from her.

Moo, I saw her face at the hospital just before I went unconscious from the antistatic, it looked so capable and kind. I knew that she would be helping you through my surgery and I felt at peace. She knows what she is doing and it shows in her presence.

Ann, she went with Kaitlyn and I to MBK Mall and would not let us carry anything. Helped us make wonderful purchases and was happy to do it. She is a beautiful person and makes us feel wanted and loved.

Mrs. Pochanee, your sense of direction and doing things in perfect timing, gave order to all that happened, while we were there. You, being Dr. Pichet's wife makes everything work right. Great choice on the flowers and birthday cake you gave Kaitlyn for her 60Th birthday. She has never been loved like that before. She talked about it much on the way home.

And finally, Dr Pichet, doctor, friend, work-horse, cowboy and my family, it all starts with you. we knew you were the right person for me, in doing the surgeries that we needed to have done. You always answered my e-mails, almost immediately and each one had a sense of your personal touch. Too often, other people send e-mails they did not write. But, you doctor, took the time to answer each one by yourself. Your sense of humor and love for what you do are what makes you so special. Your ability to do it right and your sense of making sure it is done right, gives working for a new wonderful future to look forward to.

We know in our hearts that we will be remembered by each and every one of you as all of are held in our hearts in a way no one has been held before. We will do my very best to make sure all we come in contact with have a chance to feel what we have felt in being with you.

Loving you all and still crying

Hi Dr Pichet, I wanted to tell you how happy I am with the lipo you did for me. I feel incredibly motivated about my eating habits and I have lost more weight since I returned to Australia. The lipo has made me more aware of what I eat now after seeing all the fat that you took out. You have wonderful staff working for you and I thank everyone for their kindness and helpfulness during my stay in Bangkok. I hope to see you soon when I come back for treatment.

Warm regards,
Tracey from Australia

First of all, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for the great transformation that you have done to me. I regret that I have doubted your ability and work from the website. as you mentioned, I should not believe all that was written in the news letter. After meeting and seeing your actual work thru the patient's that I have met, you have proven to me your
great surgical expertise. While under your care, you made me comfortable and treated me like a family. You have a good team, your staff are all caring, helpful, and hospitable. They all go out there way just to make my stay in Bangkok my most memorable experience.

Dr. Pichet:
Thank you so much for the excellent surgery and care while I was there. I am very happy with the rersults and have recommened you to two other people seeking plastic surgery. People have already commented on how much better i look and I can breathe much better as well. I enjoyed my stay in Thailand and the people of Thailand will always be in my heart as they were so friendly and gracious hosts. I plan on returning to see more of Thailand. Thanks also for the use of your car and driver to tour the Grand Palace. Jame (not his Thai name I know) was an excellent host and fun to be with.

Aloha,
