Why Hospital-Based Cosmetic Surgery Matters: Our Long-Standing Partnership with Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute

When considering cosmetic surgery overseas, choosing your surgeon is incredibly important but so is choosing where your surgery will actually take place.

At Restored Beauty Getaways, patient safety has always been one of the most important considerations when selecting the hospitals and surgical teams we work with.

For more than 20 years, we have helped people from all over the world travel overseas for cosmetic surgery, and throughout that time we have seen the medical tourism industry evolve considerably.

One thing has remained incredibly important to us: ensuring our clients have access to experienced medical teams and appropriate hospital facilities throughout their surgical journey.

That is one of the reasons we are proud of our long-standing relationship with Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute (PPSI), which operates within Bangkok Hospital Siriroj in Phuket.

Cosmetic Surgery Within an Internationally Accredited Hospital

Bangkok Hospital Siriroj is part of Bangkok Dusit Medical Services (BDMS), one of the largest private healthcare networks in the world.

Importantly, Bangkok Hospital Siriroj maintains Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation.

JCI accreditation involves an independent evaluation of healthcare organisations against internationally recognised standards relating to quality of care and patient safety.

JCI is an internationally recognised healthcare accreditation that assesses hospitals against standards relating to areas including patient safety, quality of care, infection prevention, clinical governance and hospital management.

For RBG clients travelling to Phuket for cosmetic surgery, this means their procedure takes place within an established hospital environment with access to broader medical infrastructure and multidisciplinary support.

Why Does Hospital-Based Care Matter?

Cosmetic surgery is still surgery.

Regardless of whether you are considering breast surgery, a tummy tuck, body contouring, facial surgery or another cosmetic procedure, every surgical procedure carries risks.

This is why we believe it is important for patients to look beyond beautiful before-and-after photographs and consider the medical environment supporting their surgery.

At PPSI, procedures are performed within Bangkok Hospital Siriroj, providing access to hospital facilities including:

Anaesthetic services
Diagnostic services
Inpatient facilities
Multidisciplinary medical teams
Emergency care and medical support when required
Ongoing hospital-based patient care

Having this broader medical infrastructure available is an important consideration when travelling internationally for surgery.

Experienced Plastic Surgeons

PPSI brings together experienced reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgeons who treat both domestic and international patients.

According to PPSI's Statement of Assurance, its surgeons are members of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).

RBG has worked alongside the PPSI surgical team for many years, and our clients have travelled to Phuket for a wide range of cosmetic procedures.

Our role has always been to help clients navigate that journey from their initial enquiry and surgeon assessment through to preparing for travel and supporting their experience in Phuket.

Patient Care Doesn't End When Surgery Is Finished

One of the most important aspects of any surgical journey is what happens after the operation.

Recovery is different for every patient, and appropriate post-operative monitoring and follow-up are important parts of the process.

PPSI's hospital-based model provides continuity of care from consultation and treatment planning through surgery, recovery and follow-up.

If additional medical assessment or care is required, patients also have the support of the wider Bangkok Hospital Siriroj medical environment.

Transparency Is Important

We strongly believe patients should be properly informed before deciding whether cosmetic surgery in Australia or overseas is right for them.

That includes understanding:

The potential benefits and risks of surgery
The surgeon's recommendations
What their procedure involves
Expected recovery
Hospital and surgeon fees
What is and isn't included
Post-operative requirements
What happens if additional care is required

PPSI has reaffirmed its commitment to transparent pricing and payment practices, including providing patients with cost estimates and payment terms before travelling and communicating additional costs where applicable.

For RBG, informed decision-making has always been an important part of responsible medical tourism.

More Than 20 Years of Medical Tourism Experience

Restored Beauty Getaways was established in 2003, at a time when travelling overseas for cosmetic surgery was still relatively uncommon for Australians.

More than two decades later, we have seen enormous changes within both cosmetic surgery and medical tourism.

Our experience has also reinforced something we have always believed:

Choosing an overseas surgical provider should never be based on price alone.

The surgeon, hospital, medical team, accreditation, communication, post-operative care and support surrounding the patient all matter.

Our hospital partnerships are therefore incredibly important to us. We don't simply look for somewhere that can perform cosmetic surgery. We look at the broader patient journey and the infrastructure supporting our clients while they are overseas.

PPSI's Statement of Assurance

Following recent discussion in Australia surrounding overseas cosmetic surgery, PPSI has released a Statement of Assurance reaffirming its commitment to patient safety, clinical excellence, transparency and internationally recognised healthcare standards.

The statement highlights PPSI's hospital-based model of care and Bangkok Hospital Siriroj's JCI accreditation, as well as the medical and clinical support available to patients.

We welcome this commitment to transparency and are pleased to share the statement with our RBG community.

Our Commitment to RBG Clients

We understand that deciding to undergo cosmetic surgery is a significant decision.

Travelling overseas adds another layer of consideration, which is why asking questions, researching your surgeon and understanding the hospital where your procedure will take place are so important.

After more than 20 years helping people from all over the world navigate cosmetic surgery overseas, our focus remains the same: providing our clients with information, guidance and support so they can make informed decisions about their surgical journey.

We are proud of our long-standing relationship with Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute and Bangkok Hospital Siriroj and look forward to continuing to work together to support RBG clients travelling to Phuket.
