Nanci 73, from Arizona traveled to Thailand for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation and breast implant revision after reconsidering her original surgical plan in the United States. With high professional standards and extensive research behind her decision, she chose Beauty Butler and Dr Note at Kasemrad Plastic Surgery Hospital for a coordinated, full face and breast transformation experience.

Well…where to start. I had already scheduled a facelift in the United States and in talking with my husband thought about another option, possibly in Thailand. I had previous surgeries in the United States. I started doing research in Thailand, Korea, and Turkey, and just felt increasingly more receptive to considering Thailand, specifically with the support of Beauty Butler. I did not feel overly optimistic until I made initial contact and had such a quick response from Piyada. She went through their protocol of requesting pictures to review prior to an Internet meeting with a chosen physician who specialized in the type of surgery that I desired. Actually during my conversation with Beauty Butler I elected to expand my surgery to include a face lift, brow lift, upper lip lift, lower eye lift and neck lift…along with a revision of a previous breast surgery. Her communication, informative brochures and itinerary that they customarily use, established a level of trust and confidence in this concierge type of service. A promise that they would take care of the arrangements, provide nursing aftercare and be readily available for any need. They said that there would be a two day hospital stay following the procedures. Arrangements were made to have a zoom meeting consult with the physician. After review of the doctor’s (Dr. Note) CV, I was convinced that I would be having my surgery in Thailand. Johannes assisted me in creating a Wise International Money Transfer account to take care of the procedure costs. They recommended a couple of hotels to consider, they made transportation arrangements from the airport and all medical appointments. The nurses ( Nurse Fah and Nurse Coffee) were pleasant, engaging and experienced in providing necessary incision follow up care and assistance with other personal care needs. Once up and feeling more mobile, they even made recommendations on places to eat and where to go. They go above and beyond in ensuring that your care is excellent and that not only do you have a wonderful outcome in your surgery, but that you have a wonderful experience with your stay in Thailand. So we go back to their promises…Beauty Butler goes far beyond their promise of excellent service and care…I cannot express enough about how great this service is. No past experience can compare to how wonderful mine was with Beauty Butler, Thailand! Thank you Beauty Butler!

From the USA to Thailand, A Well Researched Decision

Nanci 73, from Arizona, initially planned to undergo a facelift in the United States. However, after her consultation, she felt the proposed treatment plan was too limited. Only a face and neck lift were recommended, without addressing other areas she believed were important at her age. She also had not initially planned to revise her breast implants, though she knew they required correction.

As experienced world travelers, Nanci and her husband began researching international options. She carefully evaluated Thailand, Turkey, and Korea, and specifically searched for a concierge style medical service that could coordinate everything from consultation to aftercare. That search led her to Beauty Butler.

After reviewing surgeon credentials, hospital accreditation, patient feedback, and conducting Zoom consultations, she felt confident in moving forward. She emphasizes that every promise made during the planning process was fulfilled once she arrived in Thailand.

Surgery at Kasemrad Plastic Surgery Hospital

Nanci underwent surgery at Kasemrad Plastic Surgery Hospital in Bangkok and stayed two nights for monitoring and postoperative care.

Her procedures included:

• Deep Plane Face & Necklift
• Forehead Lift
• Upper Lip Lift
• Facelift Revision
• Breast Lift, Inverted T
• Breast Implant Replacement
• Capsulectomy

She appreciated that the hospital was accredited and highly professional, while also delivering a level of personal care she felt was different from what she had experienced in the United States.

All transportation, hospital scheduling, and follow up appointments were pre arranged. This structured coordination allowed her to focus entirely on recovery.

Experience with Dr Note

With a background in physical therapy and healthcare administration, Nanci held high expectations. She describes Dr Note as knowledgeable, approachable, and highly experienced.

She was particularly concerned about one breast implant that she could feel and feared significant tissue loss during revision. The surgical plan included capsulectomy, implant replacement, and an inverted T breast lift to correct the issue.

Throughout consultations and follow up appointments, she found communication clear and reassuring.

Recovery in Bangkok, Step by Step Progress

Nanci remained in hospital for two nights before returning to her hotel. Nurses visited to assess dressings and provide postoperative care. Communication between the nursing team, Beauty Butler, and Dr Note remained consistent.

She describes recovery realistically. Early tightness, swelling, and limited jaw movement were present, especially during the first days. Wearing the compression garment was one of the more challenging aspects, along with adjusting from side sleeping to sleeping on her back.

However, she explains that improvements occurred gradually and exactly as described to her. Day by day, swelling reduced and facial contours became more defined.

Within a few days, she felt comfortable going out with her husband to explore the city.

Results and Reflection

As healing progressed, Nanci was surprised by how refreshed she looked. At first, seeing a smoother face without familiar lines required adjustment. Over time, she grew increasingly confident in the outcome.

She expresses satisfaction with both her facial rejuvenation and breast revision, feeling that the comprehensive approach addressed concerns that had not been included in her original surgical plan in the United States.

Community and Comfort in Thailand

During her stay, Nanci connected with other patients recovering at the same hotel. Shared breakfasts and conversations created a supportive atmosphere.

Although she traveled with her husband, she observed many solo patients who felt comfortable due to the structured support and coordination provided by Beauty Butler.

She also noted the cleanliness of the city, the professionalism of transportation services, and the consistent courtesy of Thai hospitality, all of which contributed to her positive experience.

Final Thoughts

For Nanci, the most important factor was that expectations matched reality. Communication between Beauty Butler and Dr Note was organized, responsive, and transparent.

She emphasizes that while she would have accepted some compromise when traveling internationally, she did not need to. The level of care, coordination, and professionalism met her high standards.
