While researching plastic surgeons in Singapore, I just discovered this site so thought I would give it a try. I actually live in Bangkok and have visited a recommended surgeon here. Plastic surgery is big here and it seems most expats choose surgeons located at Bumrungrad Hospital which is internationally certified and American managed.
I consulted with a physician there. His credentials were good (researched him on the American Board of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons website). My concern, and reason for extending my search to Singapore (which has a great reputation for quality medical care) is that some of the technology he uses is quite outdated compared to procedures now being done in the States. I suspect this may be the case with many of the surgeons here. Prices are cheap, but if the technology is outdated then one has to factor this in.
I am considering a face and forehead lift. I would like to know if anyone has experience with Bangkok and if so, their thoughts. Am also interested in how Singapore compares in quality of work and prices. Bangkok is about $5,500 for a complete facelift. This is about 1/4 what it would cost in the States. I have read, Singapore's medical industry is suppose to be world class, but I get a feeling otherwise from reading some of these postings.
