What recent patients say
4.7 / 5 · 31 Google reviewsI have been looked after by the team at Bangkok Plastic Surgery Clinic since 2011. Nothing has changed l. This clinic has proven to me time and time again how it's so important to find a team that is trustworthy, caring, professional and goes the extra mile that you go back home safe and sound even taking you to the airport. Please consider this clinic for all your surgical needs.
All of the nurses are very kind! The staff at bps make sure you feel comfortable, and Dr. Pichet is very patient with your concerns and questions :).
I had the most amazing and genuinely life‑changing experience with Bangkok Plastic Surgery for my breast augmentation. To be completely honest, I was trying to save money, so I searched online for more affordable options. That’s how I stumbled across Bangkok Plastic Surgery’s website. At first, I was sceptical!!! The prices seemed almost too good to be true. I must have read every Google review I could find just to reassure myself. And now, after going through the entire experience, I feel it’s only right that I leave my own review to help others who are on their surgery journeys, just like those reviews helped me. From the very first message, their team was so incredibly kind, patient, and responsive. I had so many questions, and not once did they make me feel like I was a bother. They explained everything with such clarity and warmth that I felt confident long before I even arrived in Thailand. Yes, the pricing is affordable, but the care I received felt truly premium. I was honestly overwhelmed in the best way by how attentive and supportive everyone was. A very special thank you to my darling Tak, who was an absolute angel throughout the entire process. She arranged transportation, guided me through every step, checked in on me constantly, and made sure I felt safe, informed, and comfortable at all times. Her kindness wasn’t just professional, it felt genuinely heartfelt, and it made all the difference in calming my nerves. She can also suggest the best coffee places trust me!!! The clinic itself is spotless, modern, and extremely well organised. Every single person from the nurses, to the admin team, to the medical staff that treated me with so much care and respect. I felt like Miss Universe every time i was in for my check up. And of course, my deepest gratitude goes to Mr Pichet and the entire surgical team. They didn’t just perform a procedure, they helped me achieve something I’ve dreamed about for so long. I’m so thankful for their expertise, honesty, and the confidence they’ve helped me regain. If you’re considering surgery in Bangkok and want a clinic that is trustworthy, caring, professional, and genuinely compassionate, I couldn’t recommend Bangkok Plastic Surgery more highly. My experience was exceptional from start to finish, and I’m truly grateful.
