Before and After Pictures

My Facelift Journey with Destination Beauty in Thailand

Hello, I'm Angela, a 56-year-old beauty therapist from Perth, Western Australia, and I'd like to share my experience with Destination Beauty and my facelift journey in Thailand. I initially discovered Destination Beauty on TikTok, where I saw another woman, Peta, who had a similar surgery. After thorough online research, I chose Dr. NJ, a qualified plastic and reconstructive surgeon in his late 50s, with extensive experience and a specific technique for scar placement that appealed to me.

One significant aspect of my choice was his skill in incision placement. As a beauty therapist with my own home salon, I preferred a technique that would minimize visible scarring. I even cut my hair short to cover any marks while healing, though Dr. NJ’s method tucked the incision into the hairline, ensuring the scar remains inconspicuous—a vital factor for me as I often wear my hair up.

The pre-surgery process with Destination Beauty was incredibly reassuring. They sent a thorough questionnaire covering my medical history and required pre-surgery photos, and I received a prompt response with recommendations tailored to my needs. I was encouraged to prepare for any changes once the doctor could assess me in person. I decided to cover the cost of additional potential procedures beforehand, knowing they would refund me if deemed unnecessary.

Though my surgery was scheduled for October, I paid my deposit early to secure the arrangement. I appreciated the clarity of the refund policy, which covers the full surgery amount but retains the hotel deposit if you cancel. Leading up to my trip, Destination Beauty provided a detailed information booklet, making it easy to understand what to bring and what to expect.

When I arrived in Thailand, I was picked up at the airport and taken directly to the hospital, which resembled a high-end hotel, much to my surprise. The hospital's thorough approach to testing and preparation stood out compared to my past experiences in Australia. They conducted a COVID test, blood tests, a lung scan, and a comprehensive heart check—leaving no stone unturned.

During my hospital stay, the staff were caring and attentive. Though some night staff struggled with English, translation apps bridged the gap effectively. The only drawback was the occasional cold meal, but the room had a microwave to reheat food. Post-surgery, I appreciated the availability of antibiotics and medications, and regular nurse check-ins made me feel supported.

After discharge, I stayed in a lovely apartment with amenities like a washer-dryer, which made it convenient to care for myself. One of the highlights was the included breakfast buffet, offering fresh fruits like mangoes and pineapples—great for reducing swelling. I found camaraderie among other solo travelers recovering from surgery, which was uplifting. For those planning an extended stay, I would recommend a support person for added comfort, especially during the hospital days.

Post-op, I had minor issues with my ear healing, but Destination Beauty promptly responded with guidance and arranged for additional antibiotics. I felt well-supported, even after returning home, as Dr. NJ and his team continued to address any concerns within 24 hours.

Now, at day 16 post-surgery, I'm thrilled with the initial results, though there's still swelling and some numbness. My neck looks better than it has in decades, and I'm feeling confident and rejuvenated. For anyone considering a facelift with Destination Beauty, I wholeheartedly recommend them. From start to finish, the experience was professional, caring, and exceeded my expectations. I wouldn’t hesitate to return, and in fact, I might consider more procedures in the future if needed. My advice? Book it, trust the process, and prioritize yourself. You won’t regret it.
