At the hospital
 After
you arrive in Phuket you will visit your surgeon for your first
appointment. This appointment is for the doctor to determine that
you are in good health and prepared for your treatment. Your doctor
will also discuss the details of your treatment with you, and finally,
set the date and time for it. If the treatment is to be an operative
one, your doctor will perform a blood test, and your blood pressure
and pulse will be taken. Please inform your doctor of any allergies
or medical conditions you may have.
You will be asked to sign a consent form allowing the hospital
to perform the required surgery.
Before going in for surgery, here are a few guidelines for you.
If you have any conditions that requires more specific details,
we will let you know in advance.
- If you will be having a general anesthetic, please do not eat
or drink anything 6 hours
prior to your surgery.
- If you will be having a local anesthetic, please do not eat
anything 6 hours prior to your
surgery. However, you may drink clear fluids, such as water, tea,
or coffee, until 2 hours
prior to the surgery. Alcohol is prohibited.
- Prepare a small overnight bag to take to the hospital.
- Do not take any jewelry except a watch if you so require.
- Please remove all piercings, even in areas that will not be
treated by the surgery.
- If you are on any medication, please make sure you bring it
with you to the hospital so
that you can continue your course, and present it to your anesthetist
before the surgery.
- If you are wearing contact lenses and having a general anesthetic,
you will be asked to
remove them. It is advised that you bring regular glasses if you
will be having surgery
involving your eyes or the area around them.
 On
the day of your surgery, a driver will meet you at your hotel to
take you to the hospital. Admission procedures will have been taken
care of prior to your arrival. When you arrive you will be taken
to your private room. The nurses will make the final
preparations for the surgery. If you have any questions, please
feel free to ask them.
After the surgery you will be kept under observation at the hospital
for one or two days as a standard procedure. Your partner or friend
may stay with you at the hospital for as long as you are in the
hospital. After this period you will have a final meeting with your
surgeon where he will give you instructions for your post-surgery
care. Please feel free to ask your surgeon any questions you may
have. A date will be set for a follow-up appointment with your surgeon.
After this you will be discharged from the hospital and your driver
will take you back to your hotel.
Back home with happiness
On the day of your departure, your Co-ordinator will meet with
you at your hotel and escort you to the airport, where you will
be assisted in checking-in and escorted to a business-class waiting
lounge.
You will return home relaxed and refreshed from your stay in the
tropical paradise of Phuket, so much so that family and friends
will notice the new you: the same person, just better.
Once you are back at home, you will be able to contact your surgeon
directly by phone and e-mail. This is so that you can return home
confident that you will receive all necessary post-surgery care
in your home country.
