From Adelaide to Bangkok, Mommy Makeover at 33

Alishia, 33, from Adelaide in South Australia, travelled to Bangkok for a mummy makeover after her body changed through childbirth and weight loss. Wanting to feel like herself again, she explored consultations in Australia and with another company in Thailand before choosing Beauty Butler for the level of aftercare on offer. She underwent an extended tummy tuck, VASER liposuction, a mons pubis lift, and a breast lift with implants under the care of Dr Note at World Medical Hospital.

Choosing Aftercare Over a Sales Pitch

Before committing to Thailand, Alishia had consultations with surgeons in Australia and spoke with two different companies in Bangkok, one of them Beauty Butler. What tipped the decision was the aftercare on offer — care that meant she wouldn't need to lean on family back home while she recovered.

The other Thai company felt very different to Beauty Butler from the first conversation.

"The other one was very aggressive with trying to get a sale. It didn't feel personalised, it didn't feel genuine, whereas Beauty Butler, from the moment of consultation and discussions, they were very patient."

A video consultation with Dr Note ahead of booking made a real difference, especially knowing she would be travelling to Bangkok alone.

Trusting Dr Note's Judgement

Alishia had a clear idea of what she wanted, but for the finer decisions — implant size, the shape of her results — she chose to trust Dr Note's experience.

"I kind of let him decide what size to go. I just told him kind of what I was looking for, but because he specialises in it and I've seen the results he's done, I trusted him and he's done a fantastic job."

Nervous Before Flying, at Ease on Arrival

Alishia was honest about her nerves in the lead-up to her trip — she was the last passenger to board her flight to Bangkok. Once she landed and met the Beauty Butler team, that anxiety eased quickly.

"From the moment I met them, I felt immediately at ease. It was nice to have support and friendly support, someone to talk to, knowing that someone was looking after me on top of everything else."

Surgery and Care at World Medical Hospital

Alishia's procedures took place at World Medical Hospital, and the level of care went beyond what she expected. Her nurses, Kate and Coffey, helped her wash and move around when she couldn't manage alone, walked her down to the pool area, and accompanied her to every appointment — translating along the way.

"The World Medical Hospital was amazing. It was cleaner than any hospital I've been to. The room looked like a hotel room, and it was so comfortable."

Honest About the First Few Days

Alishia doesn't gloss over the early recovery period. The first few days were difficult, particularly getting in and out of bed on her own, but her nurses managed her pain closely, and Beauty Butler arranged a carer for her first 24 hours to keep her comfortable through the hardest part.

"The first few days were brutal, I'm not going to lie, but at the same time it was manageable. They were really good at managing my pain."

By day four she was walking to the lobby and the pool on her own, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy and lymphatic drainage massage became a welcome part of her routine, helping with healing and easing discomfort along the way.

Feeling Like Herself Again

By day eleven, Alishia was walking through shopping centres and along the riverfront, far more mobile than she had expected at this stage. The worry she had about flying home had faded completely, and she is already delighted with how her results are settling in.

"I love them. I can't believe how good it looks already, only two weeks after."
