Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, even when we look in the mirror. Unfortunately, sometimes we don’t like what we see. The looks we were born with are not satisfying our adult needs, and we would do anything to change things! “My nose is too long, my eyes are too narrow, my lips aren’t full enough”- the list goes on. So much of our personal and social identities are tied up in our outward appearance, probably too much, but we are only human after all, and sometimes good attitudes are not enough, we need to take action.

In the past, there really wasn’t anything that could be done for people who disliked the way they looked, but things have changed! Thanks to modern technology and techniques, cosmetic surgery is helping people every day transform themselves for the better! Suppose that your lips are too thin, no problem! There is a procedure called ฟิลเลอร์ปาก (lip filler) that gives you the kind of lips that stars like Angelina Jolie or Zendaya are blessed with! You can have them, too, then watch out world, you have some kissing to do!

According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, around 11.36 million plastic surgery procedures were performed around the world in the year 2019, and that number is only bound to increase. So, you are not alone in this, let’s see what some of the most sought-after cosmetic surgeries are:

Hair Transplants – This one’s for the fellas, who too often suffer from the “family curse” of male pattern baldness. “Grandpa had it, Dad had it, now it’s my turn” is a sad refrain heard far too often! It strikes in your 20s, a very vulnerable time considering it’s basically mating season for life! No need to worry though, the art of the hair transplant has been perfected and now you can enjoy a full head of hair for the rest of your days, with no problem!

Breast Augmentation – This one’s for you, ladies (well, mostly…). If you didn’t get enough to start with you can fill up now! Around 350,000 women underwent breast augmentation surgery in order to increase their breast size in the year 2021. Cosmetic surgeons use silicone gel or saline implants to make breasts larger, or sometimes fat can be transferred from some other area of the body, which sounds like it might be a double win.

Eyelid Surgery – Another popular procedure, also called blepharoplasty, involves the removal of puffy tissue and bags under the eyes, and/or excess skin above the eyelids. The results are your eyes look larger and more attractive, and you feel great about yourself every time you look in the mirror!

Thailand is the top medical tourism destination in the world, and anyone seeking top-quality, affordable cosmetic surgery should definitely consider making the trip! And, once you have healed up and are looking your best ever, you can hit the beaches, enjoy!
