Title: Thinking of SRS with Chettawut
Post by: smoak on September 29, 2018, 01:16:05 AM
Emailed and exchanged a few correspondences so far. I have a tentative date of April 5 2019. That was way sooner than I expected! Not bad though :P I guess I just thought the wait list would be in the order of years not months. They want a 20% deposit within a week to set everything in stone. Thinking of going through with it, but wanted to get more opinions first. So...thoughts?

What would you like to know about?
I got mine about 4 months when I asked about the availability of the surgery Date.

What food options are there? We will likely be staying at the Dusit, but it doesn't look like it has a kitchenette. We don't really want to be eating take out every night.

We would have a fairly long flight (11-13 hour flight) so I am worried about dilating on a plane  :-\

How satisfied are you with your results? How long was it before you were able to be more active than just walking around?

I've heard the dilation routine is a bit intense (2-2.5 hours a day?). How has it been for you?

Congratulations on getting your date with Chett.

I am almost 8 months post-op and am really satisfied with the result.  I had BA at the same time too, which was a bit hardcore.  At 6 weeks post-op, I switched to x2 per day dilation and never had any issues.  I can now go to x1 per day if I am time crunched and can get straight to depth without any issues.  When I have more time, I will go back up to x2 per day until 12 months and then I will go back down to x1 per day.

My vagina looks amazing (or so my cis friend has told me) and it feels great.  It is orgasmic (hell yeah!).  So far, no complications.  After 2.5 months, I didn't need the donut pillow and I was fully active again after 3 months but, as with everything, YMMV.

You aren't expected to dilate on the flight home (I had a 10-11 flight home plus taxi).  So long as you dilate as soon as you get in your door and go back to the normal dilation routine, you will be fine.

Chett's dilation and breast massage routines are nuts (excuse the pun).  It really isn't possible to follow them (assuming you have a job or are studying).  Most people listen to their body and do the best they can, given the available time.

i stayed in the Dusit Princess (shoutout to everyone on the fifth floor) and there is not a kitchenette, but the in-dining menu is fairly varied and the food is pretty good - so I was happy with this.  As I travelled on my own, I didn't have anybody to cook for me so i was happy with room service.  The cost of room service does add up after a month or so, but I guess this is a once in a lifetime sort of expense.

If you do have any questions, i am happy to answer.

This is awesome information! Thank you so much! I am glad everything is going well with you :)

Depth isn't as big of an issue for me (I'm a lesbian), but it is nice to know I don't have to freak out about dilating on an airplane :laugh:

After reading your account and several others, I will be heading to my bank later today to secure the date and make the deposit  ;D

Have you looked at genital hair removal?
Title: Re: Thinking of SRS with Chettawut
Post by: tarabel on October 03, 2018, 10:03:08 AM
Chett doesn't require genital hair removal (in fact, he recommends against it).  I have a few hairs in my vagina entrance (which I will have removed with electrolysis at 12 months post-op), but otherwise everything is smooth.

Forgot to mention, 7 inches depth.  Not sure I will ever need it, but it is always there for a rainy (wet) day.

Hello Smoak

Good for you.  Chett is an excellent surgeon and his team of nurses and specialists are immensely competent and very kind.  I had top and bottom fixed with Chett 3 years ago, and it was a fantastically positive experience.  I am completely happy.

It does take a few days for Chett's financial controller to reply, but everything seems to arrive there eventually.

Regarding hotels, the Dusit is very swish, though I was surprised at how small the rooms were - I did visit a friend there.  I stayed at the Rama.  It's very much more modest, but the little chalet-bungalows are nicely spacious, very clean, and have an adequate kitchenette and a little veranda.  It's also nice to be surrounded by such luscious greenery.  There is a social life there, if you want one, with quite a few Chett girls in the same area.  We had afternoon tea together a few times :-)  In terms of food, the hotel restaurant is adequate, and they deliver to your chalet.  However, there is a pretty good supermarket not far away (you shouldn't try to walk it after surgery) , as well as a couple of very good cake shops even closer,  so everything can be planned in advance.  And the Foodpanda phone app gives you an excellent choice of delivered food, which we found surprisingly good, even for oddities such as Louisiana cuisine.

Any other questions, please feel free...

Hugs
Julia

Did you manage to transfer money from your bank to their IBAN with 10 numbers? I think im going to the Western Union but the commission is very high:/
Title: Re: Thinking of SRS with Chettawut
Post by: zlobnica on October 04, 2018, 11:08:08 AM
Chettawut@gmail.com is dr. Chettawut (Som) this is right??? Because people around of me they said this is fake and i'm so tired of this :(

Please comfort me so that I can trust Som for a transfer with Western Union...

Omg sisters, I really need help! Their IBAN number is incorrect (Account No. of Beneficiary (IBAN Number)  =  746-2-37456-3) because it's short they said at my bank. Really it's incorrect???

Why do you have a different number? I didn't get this your number... I don't understand:(
Title: Re: Thinking of SRS with Chettawut
Post by: Julia007 on October 04, 2018, 02:54:45 PM
Don't know how you got that number. It seems your email address is correct.

The IBAN number I received (and it worked well) is same as what Brenda80 provided. You probably need to check with Som in more details.

By the way, I agree everything that wrote by tarabel under this thread. Chett is great and serious surgeon. He's never a bad choice if you are 100% sure you need this surgery.

Best,
Julia

If you require a kitchen or a service apartment kind during your recovery, I would suggest staying at the vertical suite. I stayed there during my recovery and its quite a good place for recovery in my opinion. Across the road is Seacon Square where you can get daily neccesities easily.
You can search my previous post of my surgery, thou not complete but the stay there is mentioned.

Dilation wise, I believe 13hour GAP is fine. I have missed dilation due to busy schedule. Once or twice I have only done one dilution but kept mostly to 2 times but longer sessions each time (1hr and half each) instead of 3 sessions of 1hr each. Depth wise I have yet to lose any. I am 6months post op.

Orgasm wise, yes. Chettawut does quite a wonderful job, appearance wise looks good as per my gynae comment. I believe you will be in safe hands under him. Aftercare is good as well with his Nurses. Cost wise I believe he is not the cheapest thou.
Life resume as per normal now.  No issue with handling daily task.

Chett recommended 3 places for recovery. One of them is the vertical suite. All 3 are near to his clinic and within proximity to each other. You can ask chett assistant Som to book for you. I would highly recommend you the service apartment. I have stayed in Dusit during earlier business trip and I would say Vertical suite is more apt for recovery purpose. Service apartment style with kitchen, washing and a living hall. Quite new believe just renovated during my stay in April. And they have regular housekeeping and buffet breakfast provided.

Hmm, the vertical suite isn't listed as an option on their site (http://www.chet-plasticsurgery.com/booking-your-flight-and-hotel-reservation/). Is this the hotel you are talking about? http://www.theverticalsuite.net/

The options from the site:

Dusit
Novotel Bangkok Bangna hotel
Bangkok Rama hotel

I took a glance at Chett website. Noticed that there is some changes to their accommodation as well as payment. I have to apologies earlier to Zlobnica. I believe the bank account probably was changed. (Not sure why)
The accommodation that previously Chett recommended and can assist to book was replaced with Novotel (yup initially was the vertical suite as what you posted). Perhaps they tied up with Novotel for better rates i guess. Bangna is much more centralize if you intend to shop around when doc permits you to walk abit. Well it's a shame Vertical Suite is no longer available under his recommended, that is a place quite good for onwards recovery in my opinion.

It seems we're having surgery almost on the same day, I'm due for March 30th.
