Six-pack surgery, also known as abdominal etching or high-definition liposuction, is a cosmetic procedure aimed to improve the appearance of your abdominal muscles. This surgical procedure is gaining popularity among those seeking a more sculpted, athletic-looking body, and it is readily available in Thailand, a country known for its quality healthcare and affordable medical procedures.
Please note that the prices provided are estimations and may vary based on various factors. Additionally, these prices do not include flights or accommodation.
All prices are in USD, unless otherwise indicated.
Six-pack surgery involves using liposuction to remove fat around the muscle contours to create the appearance of a more defined abdominal region. This procedure is ideal for individuals who are already relatively fit but wish to achieve a more toned and defined look. However, it's essential to understand that this is not a weight-loss surgery. Instead, it enhances the definition of your abs. It is also crucial to maintain a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen to maintain the results post-surgery.
Preparing for six-pack surgery is not much different from getting ready for other types of cosmetic surgery. A healthy lifestyle is recommended before the surgery. You might be asked to stop certain medications, smoking, and alcohol consumption before the surgery. Detailed instructions would be provided by your surgeon.
Choosing the right medical facility and surgeon is an important aspect of your preparation. Thailand offers a wide array of experienced surgeons and state-of-the-art facilities for six-pack surgery. Make sure you choose a surgeon who is board-certified and has extensive experience in six-pack surgery.
The six-pack surgery procedure involves making small incisions in the belly through which a cannula (a small tube) is inserted. The cannula is then moved back and forth to dislodge the fat, which is then suctioned out of the body. This is done around the natural muscular contours of the abdomen, enhancing the visibility of the abdominal muscles. The procedure typically takes about one to two hours.
After six-pack surgery, patients can expect a recovery time of around 1-2 weeks, with the full result visible after swelling has completely subsided, which may take several weeks to a few months. It is important to wear a compression garment for a few weeks post-surgery to help reduce swelling and maintain the new abdominal contour. Patients should avoid strenuous activity for about three to four weeks post-surgery, but walking is encouraged to promote blood circulation.
Regarding when you can fly home post-surgery, it's usually recommended to wait at least 7-10 days before taking a long flight. This is to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a potential complication of surgery. However, your surgeon will provide the best advice tailored to your individual case.
The cost of six-pack surgery in Thailand is generally lower compared to western countries. Typically, the cost ranges from $2,500 to $5,000. However, the cost can vary depending on factors like the surgeon's experience, the hospital or clinic where the procedure is performed, and the complexity of the procedure. It's important to note that these costs do not cover travel and accommodation expenses.

The cost of six-pack surgery in Thailand typically ranges from $2,500 to $5,000, depending on various factors such as the surgeon's experience and the facility where the procedure is performed.
Full recovery from six-pack surgery typically takes 1-2 weeks. However, the final results might not be visible until several weeks or months after surgery, once all swelling has subsided.
Ideal candidates for six-pack surgery are those who are in good health, have a stable weight, and have a moderate amount of abdominal fat. It's not a weight loss procedure but rather a way to enhance the abdominal muscular definition.
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.
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
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 :)
"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."
Pam from Konkai just made the right match for my plastic surgery, not only did it make me safe time, but the chosen doctor was just exceeding my expectations! Thank you so muxh 🙏🏼
I highly recommend their expertise and thankful for having been a patient at Yanhee hospital! …
Konkai Health helped me with my search to find affordable service for my rotary cuff repair. Told them my price range and gave me options for hospitals. Helped with every step of the process from consultation with physician to surgery to after care if needed. I highly recommend if you're an expat or visiting and you need medical services reach out to this organization.
"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."
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
