Liposuction in Thailand

Get world-class care at vetted and accredited hospitals in Thailand.
Save up to 80% with internationally trained surgeons and state-of-the-art facilities.

Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise, helping patients achieve more contoured body proportions. The procedure can target multiple areas including the abdomen, thighs, arms, chin, back, and flanks.

Thailand has become one of the world's top destinations for liposuction, with hospitals and clinics offering advanced techniques like VASER at a fraction of Western prices. International patients save 50-70% compared to the US or Australia while accessing surgeons with decades of experience and premium equipment from the same manufacturers used in Western clinics.

This guide covers liposuction costs at Thailand's leading hospitals, the differences between techniques like VASER and tumescent, how to plan your trip, and what to expect from start to finish.

Why Thailand for Liposuction

1. Advanced techniques at affordable prices. VASER liposuction, which costs $6,000-$15,000 in the US, starts from around $1,900 in Thailand. You get access to the same ultrasonic technology used in premium Western clinics, performed by surgeons trained in VASER Hi-Def techniques.

2. Experienced high-volume surgeons. Thai cosmetic surgery hospitals perform thousands of liposuction procedures annually on international patients. This volume means surgeons develop refined skills across all body types and treatment areas.

3. All-inclusive pricing. Thai hospitals typically include surgeon fees, anesthesia, operating room, hospital stay, medications, compression garments, and follow-up appointments in one package price. In Western countries, each of these is often billed separately, making true costs hard to compare.

4. Comfortable recovery environment. Recover in a serviced apartment or hotel near your hospital for a fraction of what a single night's hospital stay would cost at home. Many patients combine recovery with a relaxing holiday once cleared for light activity.

What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat cells from specific areas of the body through small incisions. A thin tube called a cannula is inserted beneath the skin to suction out fat deposits that haven't responded to diet or exercise.

The procedure works best for people near their ideal weight who have localized fat pockets they want to address. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, love handles, thighs, upper arms, chin, back, and bra roll area. Liposuction is body contouring, not weight loss. The goal is to reshape specific areas rather than reduce overall body weight.

Modern liposuction techniques have evolved significantly from the original procedure developed in the 1970s. Today's methods cause less trauma to surrounding tissues, reduce bleeding and bruising, and can even tighten skin in the treated area. The most significant advancement is VASER technology, which uses ultrasonic energy to break apart fat cells before removal, allowing for more precise sculpting.

Liposuction Techniques

Understanding the different techniques helps you have informed conversations with surgeons and understand what's included in pricing quotes.

  • VASER Liposuction: VASER uses ultrasonic waves to emulsify fat cells before removal. The sound waves selectively target fat while preserving blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. The key advantages of VASER include more precise fat removal, better skin retraction after the procedure, less bruising and swelling compared to traditional methods, and faster recovery. VASER can remove larger volumes of fat safely and is the preferred technique for high-definition sculpting where surgeons create visible muscle definition. VASER Hi-Def is an advanced application where surgeons sculpt around underlying muscle groups to create athletic-looking contours. This technique requires specialized training, as the surgeon essentially reveals muscle definition by strategically removing fat in layers.
  • Tumescent Liposuction: Tumescent liposuction involves injecting a solution of saline, lidocaine (local anesthetic), and epinephrine into the treatment area before fat removal. The solution causes the fat to swell and become firmer, making it easier to remove. The epinephrine constricts blood vessels, reducing bleeding. This is the foundation technique for modern liposuction and is often combined with other technologies. It's effective, well-established, and more affordable than VASER. For patients treating smaller areas or those with good skin elasticity, tumescent alone delivers excellent results.
  • Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL): PAL uses a mechanically powered cannula that vibrates rapidly, breaking up fat cells and making them easier to remove. The MicroAire system is the most common brand. PAL reduces surgeon fatigue during longer procedures and allows efficient treatment of fibrous areas like the male chest or back.
  • Laser Liposuction (SmartLipo): Laser liposuction uses laser energy delivered through a fiber to liquefy fat and stimulate collagen production for skin tightening. However, many Thai surgeons now prefer VASER or radiofrequency technologies, as laser techniques have largely been superseded.
  • Radiofrequency-Assisted Options: Technologies like BodyTite, FaceTite, and Renuvion (J-Plasma) combine fat removal with radiofrequency energy to tighten skin. These are particularly useful for patients concerned about loose skin after fat removal, or for areas like the neck, arms, and inner thighs where skin laxity is common. BodyTite delivers RF energy through internal and external electrodes to heat tissue and contract collagen. Renuvion uses helium plasma combined with RF to achieve similar skin tightening. These technologies add cost but can reduce or eliminate the need for skin removal surgery in some patients.

Liposuction Costs in Thailand

Prices vary based on the technique used, number of areas treated, and hospital tier. Below is hospital-by-hospital pricing from Konkai's partner facilities, verified from official sources.

What Affects Price

Several factors influence your final quote:

  • The technique: Traditional tumescent liposuction is the most affordable. VASER costs more due to equipment and specialized training. Adding skin tightening technologies like BodyTite or Renuvion increases costs further.
  • The number of treatment areas: Single area treatments are straightforward to price. Multiple areas often qualify for package discounts, so treating abdomen, flanks, and back together costs less per area than treating each separately.
  • The volume of fat removal to be removed: Removing 2-3 liters requires more time and resources than removing 500ml. Surgeons assess this during consultation.

Planning Your Liposuction Trip

How Long to Stay

Plan for 10-14 days minimum in Thailand. This allows for consultation and pre-operative preparation, the procedure itself, initial recovery, and your follow-up appointment before flying home.

Many patients prefer 14-21 days to allow more comfortable recovery before the long flight home and to enjoy Bangkok once they're feeling better.

Day-by-Day Overview

Day 1: Arrival: Arrive in Bangkok. Rest and hydrate after your flight and accommodate to the timezone and weather.

Day 2: Consultation: Meet your surgeon for examination and discussion. Complete pre-operative blood tests and medical clearance. Finalize your treatment plan and areas to be treated.

Day 3: Procedure Day: Surgery typically takes 1-4 hours depending on areas treated. You'll likely stay overnight at the hospital for monitoring.

Days 4-7: Early Recovery: Rest at your hotel or serviced apartment near the hospital. Wear compression garments continuously. Light walking is encouraged to prevent blood clots. Expect bruising and swelling that peaks around days 3-5.

Days 8-10: Continued Recovery: Gradually increase activity. Swelling begins subsiding. You may feel well enough for light sightseeing.

Day 10-14: Follow-up and Departure: Return for wound check and suture removal if applicable. Your surgeon clears you for travel. Receive written aftercare instructions.

What to Bring

Pack loose, comfortable clothing with elastic waistbands for the trip home. Button-front shirts are easier than pull-overs in the first few days. Slip-on shoes avoid bending. Your hospital will provide compression garments, but bringing a second set allows washing. Some patients bring a small pillow for the flight home.

Combining Procedures

Liposuction combines well with other body contouring procedures. Common combinations include:

Liposuction in multiple areas around the waist (belt lipectomy) or to lift the arms or thighs.

Liposuction with tummy tuck addresses both excess fat and loose skin. This combination works well for patients who have lost significant weight or women after pregnancy.

Liposuction with Brazilian butt lift (BBL) uses fat removed from areas like the abdomen or thighs and transfers it to the buttocks. This reshapes multiple areas while adding natural volume.

Liposuction with breast augmentation or fat transfer allows simultaneous body and breast enhancement in one trip.

Multiple procedures together extend recovery time but reduce overall costs compared to separate trips.

Hip Replacement & Health Check Up

Pam and Konkai Health were absolute rock stars in helping us find a fantastic surgeon for my boyfriend's hip replacement in Thailand. We had previously paid for a service to help us find a doctor and it was just throwing money away. The paid service was slow to respond and only offered us quotes for the most expensive hospitals.

Pam on the other hand was a completely free service and was always quick to reply, patient with all of our questions, and presented a variety of options in our price range. She made the entire process of finding a doctor, setting up video conferences, and scheduling the surgery extremely easy. She continued to help us even after the surgery had taken place with follow up visits and final questions we had before traveling back home. We cannot recommend her highly enough!!! We will definitely be using her again for our next surgical needs.

Hip Replacement

Many thanks to Konkai. After an online inquiry Konkai guided me to Praram9 orthopedic for a consultation on a hip injury.  I had the consultation, clearly a femeral head collapse and needing the hip joint replacement.  The beauty was in a half day full consultation, x-ray, ekg, blood work, chest exam ... everything needed to proceed with surgery was done.  

This was so professionally and efficiently done, all questions answered, no consultants, no referrals etc., all in house, all guided around the hospital.  A friendly caring class act. So I then came back to Konkai to setup for the operation, with the same orthopedic team led by Dr. Peerapong that made the assessment.  I returned 2 weeks later, admitted, had the replacement operation stayed 5 days with the hospital team, and quite frankly, it was a privilege to be in their care.  

Now after 10 days recovery in Bangkok i am ready to return home. Why Thailand, well in my country New Zealand, you get passed around to specialists, consultants, it all takes time, does not engender trust, and i think the profit motive is primary like the American system.  Further, there are less facilities so more waiting for slots. Thailand has a care culture, and the expertise and professionalism with Konkai and Praram9 is superb.  They have top quality facilities and capacity to fit your schedule.  

If i ever need any major surgery, this will be my first stop.  Thanks again

Cosmetic Surgery

Outstanding. The most safe, amazing communication these past couple of months with Pam from Konkai health. I asked soooo many questions there must be around 80+ emails from me and every single one has been replied in full. Even now 2 weeks after surgery. Super professional, and the surgeon Dr Thawatchai Boonpadhanapong, at Yanhee Hospital that Pam recommended to me for a breast implant removal, were just incredible. No money deposits asked for…just pure care.

The service and systems at Yanhee were out the gate. I am so glad I travelled all that way and didn’t do it in New Zealand as I don’t think it would’ve been as good haha. I was so looked after by the amazing nurses, anaesthetist, Dr Thawatchai and my interpreter Mr Wing. It’s overwhelming looking for the right fit and if it wasn’t for Konkai Health and Pam I wouldn’t be feeling as happy as I am now 2 weeks after my surgery. I cannot thank you enough for what feels like a life transformation :)

Emergency operation and post-surgery checkup

"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."

Was confused as to where to get good Medical Services in Thailand. This company was very responsive and helpful.

They directed me to a very reputable local Hospital where I was treated by a Doctor with great reviews.

Also, the cost for the procedure was very reasonable and a fraction of what it would cost me in the US.

I would highly recommend this company to others. 🙏♥️🙏

I came to Thailand from America for a liposuction in last week. In a Google search, back in May, I came across Konkai Health and decided to reach out to them.For my surgery Pam, recommended Rattinan Clinic out of Bangkok.  Pam was able to connect me with the clinic to set up a consultation.  The process was very easy.I recommend Konkai Health and Rattinan Clinic.  Both are 10/10
