We are more than happy to talk with them on your behalf should you feel this may assist in obtaining their support should you feel that you need it, ultimately the final decision will be yours but it is nice to know that your family and friends will support you.

We stand behind our services and offer a guarantee that covers flights, accommodation and medical costs in the case that you would require a follow up procedure.
Before making your decision you need to weigh up all the facts:
There are many reasons why one might choose to go overseas for health care. Thailand is an excellent tourist destination due to its cheap prices, welcoming people, beautiful beaches, sightseeing, temples, delicious cuisine, fascinating culture, and modern infrastructure. The country manages to attract more than 9 million visitors every year who want to sample the sights and sounds of this exciting destination. But there are many other reasons for choosing Thailand as a medical destination
Our hospitals and surgeons are leading healthcare providers in Thailand, and all follow international quality standards. All surgeries are carried out in International Standard hospitals with International patient centres and attended by full medical teams, not clinics. The hospitals and medical teams are all of the highest standards, with many having international qualifications and experience. The hospital that we have had chosen based on our research and client satisfaction have similar if not better standards of private healthcare, as you will find at home, with the same high quality technical and health care equipment without the high price
In Australia high facility costs, unpaid hospital bills, high priced medical education, costly research, and excessive malpractice litigation all add up to exorbitant prices for healthcare in Australia, the US, the UK and many other countries. In addition, physicians who perform elective and specialty procedures-such as cosmetic surgeries, IVF, hip, spine and cardiac procedures-command astronomical fees from patients willing and able to pay, leaving those of more modest means, seeking alternatives. Healthcare in some other countries is less costly because the standards of living are more modest, doctors and staff receive lower wages, government subsidised healthcare keeps private healthcare costs down, this included with tax free procedures and great exchange rates, means the costs of medical procedures abroad are significantly lower. Through established relationships with world class suppliers of medical and travel services, DESTINY MEDITRAVEL can provide competitively priced surgery packages.
Our surgeons and hospitals are not always the cheapest packages that you will find during your research, they are the best value for money, but cheap is not what we offer. Beware of less expensive prices through other companies and hospitals throughout Thailand, as there will always be cost savings, either in the surgeon or hospital standards, or the implant brand or grades.
As with any surgeon or destination, your risks are increased if you do not follow the surgeon's advice. Making your own travel and accommodation arrangements will mean no medical assistance or after care. We have guidelines for the safe length of stay, and strongly recommend that you stay in our recommended accommodation, which includes our customer service care.
Our guidelines extend to looking after your health - not smoking, resting and relaxing and following a proper diet all assist with recovery. Complications can occur and health risks will definitely be increased if a patient does not follow their surgeon's advice.
As with any surgery done anywhere the more surgery you have, the more likelihood for some 'touch ups' and revision work. This should not be called anything more than a "touch up", because, if you are having extensive surgery, then you need to expect that there may be a few areas that could do with improving. This occurs with patients having full body lifts combined with other procedures. A good example is liposuction, only a certain amount of fat can be removed safely during liposuction, so you may need to get this done again if you require more to be removed. Healthy expectations will go a long way for your satisfaction and enjoyment of your results.
Your risks are reduced by choosing Destiny Meditravel, as we have the support services already in place Thailand. Our support staff includes:
- Customer Service Managers
- Doctors and Nurses available on call
- Transport to and from Airports and Hotel for appointments and surgery
- Dedicated Travel expert to coordinate your Travel needs before and during your stay
Our team is here to support and assist you throughout your whole planning and final surgery experience , ensuring that you are healthy, happy and recover well. At any time you can ask for more medications, or another consultation with the surgeon, and it will be arranged for you.. You are not committed to proceed with the surgery pre-booked if for any reason you do not feel comfortable always write your questions down prior to your consultation with you surgeon so you don't forget to ask them.
Pre and Post surgery care once you return home: we offer support and assistance before and after you travel. Including the ability personalise your travel itinerary for both yourself and travel companions. You can also speak with past clients, who are willing to share their experience and results. Should you have any concerns about your surgery once you arrive home, we will discuss these in consultation with your surgeon and assess on a case by case basis.
Compare all aspects to having the surgery done at home to the value you get through travelling overseas with Destiny MeditRavel Even though your surgeon may be 'close' to you at home, is he contact able? What sort of guarantee will your surgeon give you? Will he do corrective surgery free of charge? We have had many patients come to us to correct a procedure done at home because it would cost them even more to have their surgery done again with their original surgeon who never offered the guarantee of corrective surgery. So do your research carefully and ask your surgeon what guarantee he provides and what all the cost are not just the surgery cost as there are always additional cost for theatre fees, anaesthesiologist and hospital .
Please consider the following:
1. Have reasonable expectations - do not expect perfection, any surgeon can only improve on your current assets. Those who are happiest with their results have reasonable expectations - for e.g.. Liposuction will not make you thin all over; facelifts will be 'natural' and not remove every wrinkle and line. Healthy expectations are the core of any successful surgery, regardless of the surgeon you choose.
2. Do know that there are surgery risks, have a healthy knowledge of these, read up on them. In reality the chance of these risks is so small, but it is still important to read about them. Our web site provides detailed information to you about the surgeries and the risks.
3. Do follow the advice and guidance of the surgeon post surgery. The most important is: not smoking, good diet, resting with no exertion for the first few weeks, wearing of compression garments if advised, taking your medications as prescribed. Failure to follow advice may result in health problems or unsatisfactory results which could be serious.
4. Your travel package: Please do coordinate your airfare and accommodation through Destiny MeditRavel , and stay for the amount of days recommend for your surgery choice. We have travel packages that are very reasonable, to fit in with everyone's budget. The service that we offer is necessary to provide everyone with the care that they need when recovering for surgery. We offer 24 hour on call assistance and support with our hospitals t to support you during your recovery . The hotels we use are sympathetic to your needs. If you stay in your own hotel it is impossible to provide you with this level of assistance and care, and for the sake of saving a little money by doing it yourself, you may go without necessary post operative care for recovery.
It is advisable to arrive 1-2 days before surgery so that you give your body a chance to get over the flight , and stay the minimum time that is recommends by the hospital and surgeon for your surgery. This is very important to make sure that you have healed and rested before returning home. Your care is our main concern, problems can arise when patients return home too soon or go on a holiday by themselves without sufficient support.
5. Do understand that a small % of patients may have aesthetic problems, but this is so minimal. To reduce this risk, the number 1 thing is to talk in detail to your surgeon in the pre-consultation. Let him know what you want and what you don't want. Listen to where the incisions and scaring will be. If you are not comfortable with the answers, then DO NOT proceed with surgery. If you do fall into the very small percentage of people who have problems with surgery - for e.g.. scarring that you would like improved - then we assess this as a case by case basis with the surgeon to find the best solution for each individual.
6. You will be able to see close to final results before you depart for home. Even though there may be some residual bruising and swelling. At your pre departure consultation you should discuss any concerns you may have with your surgeon. But remember assistance and advise is only a phone call away to one of our helpful staff..
In summary, we cannot give absolute guarantees of complete perfection But we do reduce the risks by having the very best surgeons, hospitals, implants, and our ground support to help you throughout.
Media is always on the lookout for sensationalism, if you have any concerns or require clarification of any facts then please do not hesitate to contact us
