My wife and I will be taking a 2 week holiday in Koh Samui early next year (at the beautiful Samui Peninsula resort which has the much maligned "timeshare touts", but see past them and the place is worth it). While we are there my Asian wife wants to have blepharoplasty - upper eyelid surgery to make her eyes look bigger. I say she's stunning anyhow - but who are mere males to comment on feminine beauty?!

Does anyone have any experience/knowledge of this procedure being carried out in Koh Samui and can give recommendations?

Surfing the net I've found 2 places that look promising: The Samui Clinic and Ssamui International Hospital. Any reports on these places, for blepharoplasty or any other plastic surgery?

My wife is also considering breast enhancement, but that's two bigger decisions to have to be made. However, any comments/recommendations would be helpful. (That's laid us open to some ribald remarks no doubt!)

Tell her to be happy with what she has, more than a mouth full is a waste, on a more serious note I would't get anything done on Samui unless you were dying, go to Bangkok

I agree, Samui hospitals are catering for accidents and sunburn (not in the last few days though), the best cosmetic surgeons in Thailand are all in Bangkok as that is where most of the business is.

Me thinks the same too.

Go to Bangkok, the hospitals on Samui are a rip off.

I would also try posting on the health section of Thai Visa

Good Luck

Thanks guys, my suspicions seem to have been correct. Looks like we'll be spending a few days in Bangkok on our way to Koh Samui.

I'd spend the few days in Bangkok on the way back from Samui if she is thinking of having major surgery....
