And please do not even consider having a face lift done in a clinic setting. You are talking about up to 4 hours, sometimes more, under general anesthesia. A fully equipped hospital is essential for that..and for proper aftercare in the initial 48 hour period during which there is a risk of bleeding.

If you do a search on this forum you will find that Dr. Amorn and Dr. Preecha are the most commonly recommended surgeons for face lift. I had mine done by Dr. Amorn about 7 years ago and am 100% happy with the results. He does cost more; the best always do.

I don't know anything about Dr. Charan, but if you do decide to have it done by him, please have him do it at Bumrungrad.

In fact if he were willing to do it in his clinic, I'd take that as a bad sign.

Dr. Amorn wouldn't even let me leave the hospital the day after surgery. Said he'd had cases of delayed bleeding and therefore it was now his policy to make all patients stay 2 full nights to be on the safe side, since a ruptured blood vessel and the hematoma that would then form can completely ruin the results.

I have no visible scars whatsoever. Any plastic surgeon worth the name will ensure that all incisions are well under the hair line. Although a suppose a completely bald man would present a bit of a challenge...but even then they'd put the incisions behind the ear where least noticeable.
