Hey all . . . I'm writing to say that all has gone well at Yanhee. I'm still
here, returning home in two days. I cannot speak too highly of the staff and
level of care I received here. It was EXCELLENT. The best thing about it, is
that the 14 day hospital stay is INCLUDED in the package, and to top things off, the price is still cheaper than any of the other SRS surgeons at $6500.
I had minimal swelling (according to the nurses) and can easily see that all the structures are present, the depth is great (a little over six inches).
The only advice I would give is that Dr. Greechart requires 7 days bedrest and a liquid diet following surgery. The soup can get a little monontonous and
unpalatable after a couple of days. I wish I had packed boullion cubes in my
suitcase, or had someone with me who could run out for popsicles or other liquid sustenance. I came alone but with the entire series of Sex and the City on DVD and managed to survive.
I think anyone should consider Dr. Greechart and Yanhee Hospital, not only
because of the price, but because he really is an excellent surgeon who up to
this point mainly treats Asians and Europeans, and you can't beat 14 days of
nursing care.
I think more than anything, I just want other transitioners like me (young,
strapped for cash, still in school) to know that there is an excellent option
available. I think initially when I first heard of the price being that low I
had reservations. But after talking with several people who had been there I
realize there were really no compromises. After going through the process
myself, I can also vouch for the the excellent quality and level of care that I
received.
Yanhee is making improvements as we speak. They are building a new addition
onto the hospital, and are trying to raise their profile in Asia and
internationally.I was told before I went that the president of Yanhee is
committed to making the services affordable and high quality primarily for Thai
people but also for the rest of Asia and the world. You immediately realize
when you get there that this is a BUSY hospital, and unlike other hospitals
frequented by "farang", the people of Asia, and Thailand can also afford the
services.
There is a video on youtube where the president of Yanhee mentions treating Thai
patients who went to quack Thai surgeons who used liquid filled condoms as
breast implants, among other horrific examples. This is why services at Yanhee
will always be affordable. I can tell you that there is absolutely NO
COMPROMISE on quality. There is no reason to blink an eye at the price. You
really do get 14 days of EXCELLENT nursing care IN THE HOSPITAL. This is
included in the package.
I have learned over my years of friendship and correspondence with girls in the
community who have gone to every single doctor in Thailand that every one of the big name doctors who treat "farang" is competent and will give you a functional and sensate result. I have seen beautiful and ugly results from just about every surgeon there. I just would like to add Dr Greechart to the list of
consideration, especially for those who, like me started to see their dreams of
SRS fade as the demand rises. Rest assured that you are not making any
sacrifices. I'm sure the price will go up some, but Yanhee will always be
committed to making it affordable, and deliver excellent care.
P.S. -- I do want to add that even at 15 days post op, both my mother and sister were amazed at the natural and "real" appearance of my vagina. (Real was the word they used to describe how it looks.) In the end, that's all that matters. (It's looking even better now.)
