More and more international clients are choosing Vietnam for liposuction. But achieving beauty safely is not always easy! To ensure you choose the right and reputable facility, it’s essential to understand the Law on Medical Examination and Treatment No. 15/2023/QH15.
Why do international clients choose liposuction in Vietnam?
In recent years, Vietnam has become a leading aesthetic destination in Southeast Asia thanks to reasonable costs, high quality, and internationally recognized services.
- Affordable cost: 30–50% lower than in Western countries while still delivering impressive aesthetic results.
- Highly qualified medical professionals: Many are extensively trained and have completed fellowships in South Korea, the U.S., and other countries.
- Modern facilities with international hygiene standards.
- Convenient procedures: Visa support, airport pickup, translation services—everything is tailored for international clients
Liposuction – Aesthetic but must be safe!
Liposuction is an invasive medical procedure, so safety, legality, and expertise must be the top priorities. According to the Law on Medical Examination and Treatment No. 15/2023/QH15, several key points must be followed:
Before and after photos of clients who underwent abdominal liposuction
- Clear operating license: Only licensed hospitals are authorized to perform plastic surgery and liposuction procedures, as stipulated in Articles 41 and 42. Clinics or unauthorized facilities are strictly prohibited from offering these services.
- Qualified surgeons: Only certified plastic surgeons are allowed to perform liposuction. They must not have had any professional disciplinary action in the past two years (Article 47).
- Transparent treatment plans and medical records: Clients must undergo full health assessments, consultations, sign informed consent, and review all risks and costs (Article 54).
- Strict post-operative supervision: After surgery, patients must be monitored in a recovery room with emergency protocols, complications management, and confidentiality per Law 15/2023/QH15.
Standard Liposuction Procedure at Gangwhoo Hospital
Gangwhoo Hospital is one of the pioneers in offering legally compliant, internationally standardized liposuction services. The procedure is executed through five transparent steps:
- Step 1: Comprehensive Consultation and Examination
A bilingual doctor and interpreter will explain in detail the liposuction method, target fat volume, and expected results. Full health screening and lab tests are conducted, strictly following Article 53.
- Step 2: Surgical Planning
A clear medical file is created, including signed informed consent forms, risks, rights, and transparent costs. Each international client receives personalized consultation and complication prevention planning (Article 54).
- Step 3: Liposuction Procedure
Performed in a one-way sterile operating room under local or general anesthesia as needed. All equipment (liposuction machines, suction tools, monitors) is sterilized and safety-checked.
- Step 4: Post-Surgical Recovery Monitoring
Clients are transferred to a specialized recovery room immediately post-surgery, where vital signs are monitored continuously for 48–72 hours. Medical staff are on duty 24/7 to respond to any emergency as per legal standards.
- Step 5: Follow-up and Aftercare
Scheduled check-ups at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months. Surgical sites are cared for, compression garments adjusted, and any fluid drainage performed if needed. Clients receive detailed guidance on diet and activity to maintain results.
