February 03, 2009 - Bangkok Hospital has announced a new cut-price face and neck lift package, at around 15% of the current cost in the US.
Bangkok Hospital Medical Center's Face and Neck Lift Package costs 120,000 TB, or around US$3,400 at current exchange rates. The price is valid from today until June 30, 2009. The package includes:
• 1 night inpatient care in the surgical floor, including room, nursing and food charges
• Operating room charges
• Necessary medical equipment, supplies and medications
• Fees for doctors and anesthesiologists
The Hospital has also begun offering a facelift (forehead) at only 100,000 TB, or around US$2,800 at current exchange rates.
The cost of a facelift in the US can be up to $25,000, and a face-and-neck lift can cost up to $29,000. Most procedures average between $6,000 and $15,000. Facelifts were the seventh-most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in 2007, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
This package could benefit a large proportion of the 55 million cosmetic surgery patients who will be treated in the US by 2015, as estimated by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Facial cosmetic surgery has recently been scientifically proven to improve first impressions. A study presented at the 2008 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, revealed that participants who had facial cosmetic surgery scored higher on first impression judgements for dating success, attractiveness and athleticism, than those that hadn't.
Dr. Worawat Suwanruxa and Dr. Seni Kupgan two of the plastic surgeons at Bangkok Hospital are looking forward to helping such large numbers of patients. "Our cut price packages offer amazing savings compared to US costs, and facilities are often larger and more luxurious. It simply makes sense to combine elective surgery with a vacation, in our globalized world".
