Question about Thailand SRS

[Britney♥Bieber]

Well I had thought about it since it's cheaper but I always thought it seemed kinda sketchy to travel out of the country, but my therapist knows a girl who went to Thailand for her SRS and had great results, so I figured it's something to look into. I've been trying to find prices online and I've come across 3500 to 8000 and I'm wondering if these are actual SRS prices. I'm not sure how acurrate they are but if they aren't could someone tell me how much it would cost? Not included plane tickets hotel stay etc. Cuz if I do go, my bestie and I plan on taking a little vacation too since it's a nice place.

These are the only two i considered

Dr Suporns SRS - 495,000 Baht / 15,367 USD But i think that was going up in September

Dr.Chettawut SRS - Price List: http://www.chet-plasticsurgery.com/price.html

There are others cheaper http://->-bleeped-<-punk.com/SRS10K.html

Just a thought when it comes to SRS i wouldn't be looking for the cheapest deal out there.

Sometimes a little more saving is worth it. Plus don't forget airfare to thailand isn't cheap.

[Nicky]

I'm going to Thailand. It is like an industry there.

Plus after looking at numerous pics of results I really liked what the better Thai surgeons were doing.

I agree with Jessica, don't go for the cheapest! Especially in Thailand! don't want the thing done with a coat hanger and a rusty saw!

[Britney♥Bieber]

The only reason I'd be looking for a cheaper price is because I don't know how I'm going to come up with all the money. I don't really even know how I'll be able to afford electrolysis. The only thing I know I can afford is hormones, assuming what everyone told me about the prices is true. haha. And I mean I know I could save 25K or w/e it is. but I don't want to wait that long

But thanks for the info!!

I went to Dr Sanguan in May this year and am extremely happy with the result on all counts.   The care and the hospital were first class.  Cost was $10000US for SRS + $1500US if you require an additional skin graft.  Other than that what ever your airfare and living expenses are for the remainder of your time in Thailand. 

[Muffin]

All great recommendations, there are a few more but Suporn and Chettawut appear to be the two most reputed. I know people that have been to both and they are happy with their results. Suporn does have a longer recovery but in my eyes the results are better!!!
I'm currently organising my paperwork and details to set a date with Suporn for early/mid next year! I can't wait! ^____^
..but also very much in shock because the clock is about to start ticking! o_0

[Britney♥Bieber]

Good luck girls Thanks for the info. I'll research these doctors!

whether you make it a vacation depends on how well you stand operations and pain.  Some of my friends who have had srs have been out of bed the day after while other were just glad to relax for a week or ten days.
The advantage of Suporn's long stay is that it allows things to heal quite a bit so that he can check that he got the angle you pee at right.
Cutting the peetube back and trying to get it pointed in the right direction seems to be a fairly regular problem.
Also I read that he can use up to 550 stitches and gives the impression that his technique has lots of intricate cutting and patching so a long stay will allow for inspections to make sure all those stitches stay in place etc.

Yeah it seems best to stay a while to make sure things heal right.

I would highly recommend the LOS, truly get alot of bang for the buck in Bangkok,
or indeed at other sites in Thailand that perform GRS.

Try not to fret about the health-care conditions over there as they are world-class,
and first-rate.

Shop around, I'm sure that you will be pleasantly surprized at the surgical prices.

Also, you may want to travel during the low season when air fares, and accomadations
are lower.

Why does Suporn have a longer recovery time?  What does he do that's so different - or does he just recommend a longer recovery for similar procedure?

[Janet_Girl]

The only thing that drives me nuts, is trying to figure out total costs.  Airfare is easy, but some have a long stay in the hospital and others have you stay in a room off property.

Where can a girl get a price.

I think lilac pointed that out - he uses quite an intricate technique, a zillion stiches, but boy does he get results!

I'm going to Suporn in May, 2011...

Whereas most surgeons now use the "penile inversion" technique, Suporn pioneered his own. The biggest difference is that he uses the scrotal skin for the vaginal wall, not the penile. His website gives the specifics..

[Nicky]

Chettawut does something similar too.

Also Suporn developed a new technique for creating a sensate clitoris. It sounds very promising.

[Renate]

As always, I'm confused about the various techniques.
It seems to me that the "Chonburi organ" (Suporn's clitoral technique) would be more specific for penetrative sex.

The doctors will give you costs and inclusions on their websites.  You should plan on spending a month in Thailand including your hospital time.

For instance Dr Sanguan in Phuket has you in hospital for 2 weeks with a surgery cost 10000US plus 1500US if you require an additional skingraft.  Additionally you will need airfare cost and accomodation costs for an additional 2 weeks, if you plan to stay the full month, which is recommended.  Plus spending money etc.  If you go in the low season you will pickup very cheap accommodation and food is very cheap so living expenses should be minimal.

Check the websites for the following three doctors which should explain there procedure and costs..
Dr Sanguan Kunaporn - Phuket
Dr Suporn - Chonburi
Dr Chettawat - Bangkok

Hope this helps.

I've looked at several post-op SRS photos and I'm really impressed with what I've seen from Suporn.  I showed my brother some photos and he could not believe that they were not from a genetic woman - and he's seen a few.  I suppose the extra stitching may greatly reduce scaring.

I've been researching the hell out of this stuff - depending on the hotel room and airfare - and traveling in May (i still want to re-price this trip for July as soon as it's available). Pricing right now is$4,000-$10,000 USD for hotel and airfare (21 days) depending on what class hotel and airfare you take - I had one quote at the The Shangri-La Hotel for roughly $7,000 which included a 21 night stay at a 5 star executive suite with a balcony - the other one i've been leaning towards more is to stay at the Four Seasons Hotel instead - for only (Flight + Hotel: $ 8,718.34 Tax Recovery Charge & Service Fees:  $ 1,216.10 Total payment due:  $ 9,934.44) $10,000. so 10,000 for srs + 1,200 for a traech shave - im lookin at about 25,000 (with a safety net) - Although I could do it for as little as $2,000 for airfare + and cheap hotel, I can afford otherwise.

I thought i had decided on chett - and now im thinking I may goto Sanguan Kunaporn instead - as i really like the asthetics of the two step (like toby metzler also does) - idk - so freakin hard to choose

Has anyone checked in the possibility of staying at a local Buddhist temple (Wat)?
