Your face is telling a story you no longer recognise. Inside you still feel like the same person you've always been, but when you look in the mirror the tired, drawn expression looking back no longer reflects how you feel. You've tried so many skincare routines, the expensive creams, the facemasks, maybe even a variety of laser procedures.. You have lived a life full of adventures, but you don't need them written across your face.
A facelift in Thailand offers something the NHS waitlist and Western clinics can't: world-class results at 60-70% less cost, with surgeons who perform these procedures daily at JCI-accredited hospitals. The same quality. A fraction of the price. And a recovery in a place designed for healing.

Our partner hospitals like Yanhee, Kamol, and Bumrungrad perform thousands of facelifts annually for patients from over 160 countries.

The most common question we receive—and the most straightforward to answer. Facelift surgery in Thailand costs 60-70% less than Western countries, without compromising on quality or safety.

It is important to note that these savings aren't achieved by cutting corners. We work only with vetted and internationally accredited hospitals in Thailand that meet our strict requirements for patient care and outcomes.
Not all facelifts are created equal. The technique your surgeon recommends depends on your specific concerns, the degree of aging, and how long you want results to last. Understanding your options helps you have a more informed consultation.
The deep plane facelift is considered the gold standard technique. Unlike other techniques, the deep plane facelift will also move the deeper SMAS layer instead of separating the skin from the underlying muscle done in other techniques.
Moving the deeper layers means better blood flow preservation, more natural tissue repositioning and creates a longer lasting result that usually lasts for 10-15 years.
Best for: Patients seeking maximum longevity. Typically for ages 50-70 with moderate to severe facial againg.
Recovery: 2-4 weeks before returning to public activities. Final results visible at 3-6 months.
Longevity: 10-15 years
Cost: $4,500 - $10,000
The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) has been the industry standard for decades. It targets the fibrous tissue layer beneath your skin, tightening and repositioning this structure to lift the lower face, jawline and neck.
Best for: Moderate aging signs, jowls, neck laxity, patients with good skin elasticity. Typically ideal for ages 45-65.
Recovery: 2-3 weeks in total but most patients return to work within 7-10 days.
Longevity: 5-12 years depending lifestyle factors
Cost in Thailand: $4,000-$5,600
Sometimes called a "weekend facelift", the mini facelift addresses early signs of aging with smaller incisions and faster recovery. It focuses on the lower face and jawline but can not correct significant sagging or neck concerns.
Best for: Early aging signs in patients aged 35-55, those wanting a subtle improvement or patients not ready for a full facelift.
Recovery: 7-10 days. Most patients return to work within a week.
Longevity: 5-7 years.
Cost in Thailand: $2,590-$3,700
For patients not ready for surgery, or those wanting to maintain the results of their previous facelift, there are also non-surgical options available in Thailand.
Thread lift: Uses dissolvable threads to create a subtle lift. Results last for 1-3 years and the downtime is very minimal (24-48 hours). Cost of this procedure is $1,500 to $3,500. Learn more →
Liquid facelift: This procedure combines dermal fillers with neuromodulators (Botox) to restore volume and smooth wrinkles. Results last for 6-24 months with no downtime. Costs depends on the brand and quantity of fillers and botox used, but generally between $1,000 and $5,000.

Doing a facelift procedure in Thailand requires approximately 10-14 days from arrival to departure. Here's what the timeline typically looks like for clients flying in from abroad.
4-6 weeks before: Schedule a virtual consultation through Konkai. Share photos, discuss your goals, and receive preliminary surgeon recommendations and pricing.
2-4 weeks before: Complete any required medical clearances in your home country. Stop smoking (critical for healing). Discontinue blood thinners, aspirin, and certain supplements as advised by the doctor.
1 week before: Finalise travel arrangements with flexible return dates. Pack comfortable clothing and prepare for your recovery.
When can you fly home?
There is a minimum of 7-10 days post-surgery but most surgeons will advise 10-14 days or longer if possible.
Flying too early increases swelling, discomfort and risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). You should always wait until the surgeon has cleared you to fly which will be done during the follow-up appointments.

By city
Thailand facelift surgery typically costs 60-70% less than comparable procedures in the US, UK, or Australia:
Thai pricing typically includes consultation, blood tests, surgeon fees, anesthesia, hospital stay, medications, and follow-ups—components often billed separately in Western countries.
Recommended: 10-14 days minimum
This allows time for initial recovery, follow-up appointments, and surgeon clearance before flying. Most surgeons advise against flying for at least 7-10 days post-surgery due to swelling and DVT risk.
If possible, extending to 3 weeks provides more comfortable healing and reduces travel stress during peak recovery.
Modern facelift techniques prioritise natural results. The "overdone" or "pulled" look is associated with outdated skin-only techniques from decades ago.
Today's deep plane and SMAS approaches reposition underlying tissues, not just skin, creating results that move naturally and settle into your facial expressions. You'll look like a refreshed, younger version of yourself. Not like someone who's had work done.
Yes, combining procedures is common and often recommended for comprehensive results. Popular combinations include:
Benefits: single anaesthesia session, one recovery period, cost savings, and more harmonious results. Your surgeon will advise whether combination surgery is appropriate for your health profile.
We are clients from Australia and we could not recommend Konkai health any more!
We are so pleased with the level of service from Pam in helping us organise a surgery for my husband which took place in Thailand.
We had to change a few appointments here and there (life happened on our end) and Pam was all too willing to help with no problems.
Pam helped me find both a doctor and a surgical team for my heart surgery during a time when I was struggling to get any responses from the hospitals I contacted directly. She located everything I needed and was invaluable in overcoming language barriers. I highly recommend her assistance!
I am extremely happy with the service provided by this page. It made it so easy for me to find and appoint doctors for my children and wife. The process was smooth, fast, and hassle-free. The interface was user-friendly, and I felt assured knowing I could get the best care for my family quickly. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a reliable way to book medical appointments. Thank you!
"Whilst searching for information on getting my cataracts done, I found that most websites do not provide sufficient information. I was fortunate enough to find Konkai.Health and connect with Pam.
She and other members of Konkai go far and beyond to do everything possible to give you the best advice.
I highly recommend this company for health related matters whilst you are in Thailand. Real five star assistance."
I made the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery in Bangkok, Thailand due to the high prices in Australia, Unsure about choosing the right hospital and doctors in Thailand, my friend suggested Konkai Medical Tourism Agency, they guided me through everything and their professional team, with strong medical connections in Thailand, made the process smooth.
The surgery went well, and I’m very happy with the results.
I highly recommend Konkai to anyone considering to come to Thailand for medical treatment 👍
"Konkai helped me with what was becoming a confusing process. After contacting Konkai they quickly found a doctor that specialized in the procedure I requested and helped set up an appointment during my trip to Thailand. I will definitely contact them again if the need arises."
"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.
They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.
Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."
"I can say that the whole medical journey was very pleasant. The information given before the actual start was good. The meeting and intake with the doctor was clear.
Konkai Health was always responding fast and helpful if I came up with questions. And the actual surgery had a good outcome also. Now I just ended my last check-up, and I am very delighted how everything went."
"The customer care at Konkai Health has been great. I was looking at treatment options for my back. They got back to me fast and gave me options to connect with some top doctors and surgeons in Thailand. The doctors assessed my condition, did a video call, and gave me recommendations to fix it. Thank you. I recommend them for anyone interested in medical tourism to Thailand."
"I will say you made it so easy to get everything scheduled. I expected it to take much longer trying to find doctors waiting on responses etc. I was happy with the doctor just going ahead and getting it done on the same day as the first procedure. Everything went well and all the nurses were great. Thanks!"
