If you have read entries from any of my other online BLOGS, you'll know that I have been saving up for Gender Reassignment Surgery in Thailand. To be honest, my surgeon of choice is Dr. Preecha Tiewtranon from the Preecha Aesthetic
Institute in Bangkok. All reviews and testimonials that I've read of his work are excellent, and he is said to be an extremely
compassionate man, as well.
I was pleased to see that on December 10th, Thai surgeons reportedly performed the world's first SRS that was actually broadcast, with over 30 specialist doctors from around the world watching on video monitors.
The surgery was performed on a 27 year old Bangkok tour guide, who REQUIRED the surgery after living for more than 20 years in the wrong body.
Unlike SOME countries - The United States, in particular - which requires patients abide by the antiquated and humiliating "Harry Benjamin Standards of Care," Thailand is much more
humane.
Preecha, considered the godfather of Thailand's cosmetic surgery business after over 25 years in the profession, reportedly says he performs such operations on between three and five patients a week.
Some 80 per cent of his clients are said to be foreign, mainly from the United States, where high insurance rates, the threat of lawsuits, and those STUPID rules I told you about, have contributed to high medical costs.
