Apples Mk.II

FFS date is getting closer for me. On February I will start contacting a few surgeons for prices and proposals on what to do. But there is a major issue: Time.


My plan is doing it in Thailand, possibly with Chettawutt, or another one that can do hair transplants to. Regarding my shopping list, it would be:

- Brow bone reduction, and since we are going to open there, consider if I need scalp advancement or hairline reshaping. I don't think I need to touch my eyebrows position, but I will get an oppinion on it
- Nose: Nothing more to say here, but fixing the septum at the same time and removing / correcting the nasal spine to reduce the rat face appearance in profiles
- Chin / Jaw: I don't think I need contouring, but I agree with the proposal of Sliding genioplasty to reduce mouth to chin height and improve projection. This looked fairly good in VFFS.
- Trachea shave: Quite obvious
- Hair Transplants: My temples  recovered a bit, but they are not going back. I was proposed that with transplants for the temples and hairline I could get a good effect similar to scalp advancemente / reshaping since my hair loss was not so bad.

But, time is a major constraint. From the time I take the plane to being given the OK for travelling back, I have two weeks, and can't stay more than that since I need to physically be here every 15 days. This can't be increased.

Is this possible? How long did you have to wait until you were ready to go? From whatever experiences I have read, surgeries would be done in 1-2 days / sessions depending on the amount of work, you spend 2 to 4 days in the hospital bed until you are ready to move, and then you recover at the hotel while having checkups to see how everything is developing, till you can go or stitches are removed. In the moment I'm clear to go, I need to take a plane ASAP. And that's a problem since I need to purchase the ticked for the plane back at the same time as the the plan to tai to reduce costs.

Its a minimum of 10 days and even then you will still have swelling and brusing and you will look like you had a major accident. The longer the better - but 15 days should be ok. Unless you have complications you will be able to fly with no problem. You should arrive check in and have the surgery the following morning - you will probably stay a night and then you need to rest in a hotel and return in 10 days to remove the stitches. It take a month for the swelling to go down and the brusing to diminish and the nose will be swollen for a couple of months.

Good luck.

I had brow bone reduction and hair transplant only. Total time in Thailand 7 days. Your surgeon can tell you minimum time you have to be in Thailand.
