How Does Beauty Link Choose a Hospital?
We work only with hospitals, not clinics, and each one we suggest is registered with, and licensed by, Vietnam's Ministry of Health. Before you choose, run these six checks. You can ask for each one yourself.

Beauty Link is a concierge, not a hospital. Ask your surgeon if a procedure suits you.
Plastic Surgery in Vietnam at a Glance
With Beauty Link, you fly in for your procedure at a licensed hospital, and you pay the hospital directly. Beauty Link is a free concierge, not a hospital.
- Plastic or cosmetic. healthdirect describes cosmetic surgery as any procedure meant to improve your appearance. Plastic surgeons can also do reconstructive surgery, to repair the body.
- Where. Ho Chi Minh City first, and Hanoi too.
- Who you pay. The hospital, for your treatment. Beauty Link costs you nothing.
- Quotes. We publish no prices. Every hospital gives you a written plan and quote of its own.
- What we do. Help international patients shortlist licensed hospitals that do their procedure, open one WhatsApp group, and meet them at the airport.
- What we never do. Treat anyone, give medical advice, or ask you to pay us.
- Your surgeon. You can ask for a call with your surgeon before you book.
- Entry. Australians need a visa before they fly. An eVisa may allow a stay of up to 90 days.
- The downside. The US health agency CDC says follow up care for a complication can be expensive and may not be covered by your insurance. Read the aftercare plan first.

All you do three things

- 2Choose your hospitalfrom your shortlist, after you compare the plans
- 3Book your flightonce your hospital is chosen
Your advisor helps you compare the plans. The choice is always yours.

After you fly home
- Your advisor checks in during your recovery and once you are back
Who Answers Which Question
Surgery abroad is a big decision, so take your time. Some questions are for the hospital, some are for your surgeon, and some are ours.
Is this procedure right for me?
Is the hospital licensed?
How long should I stay before I fly home?
Who helps me if I feel unsure on the day?
How Do You Plan a Plastic Surgery Trip to Vietnam?
Plan the trip around your surgeon's plan, not the holiday. Compare the written quotes, talk to your surgeon, then book flights.
Before you book
Each hospital sends a treatment plan and quote in writing. Compare them side by side, and ask anything in your WhatsApp group.
Talk to your surgeon
Ask for a consultation call with your surgeon before you book. We help set it up with the hospital.
Health check
The Australian government advises talking to your own doctor first, with a health check 6 weeks or more before travel.
Travel insurance
Smartraveller says basic travel insurance policies rarely cover medical tourism. Ask your insurer what it covers if there is a complication.
Flying home
Ask your surgeon when you can fly after surgery, before you book your return flight.
Records
The US health agency CDC says to get copies of your medical records before you return home. Ask the hospital how follow up care will work once you are home.
Visa
Australians must have a visa before they travel to Vietnam. Smartraveller says to use only the official eVisa website. If approved, an eVisa may let you stay up to 90 days.

What You Pay For, and What Beauty Link Does Free
You pay the hospital for your treatment. Beauty Link's help costs you nothing, because the hospital pays us.
We publish no prices. Every plan depends on you and on what your surgeon recommends, so each hospital sends its quote in writing once it has your details.
Get quotes for
Ask each hospital to put this in writing
- The procedure, by name, for breast surgery
- The surgeon who would treat you, and their practising licence
- Your hospital stay, and your follow up visits in Vietnam
- Your aftercare contact, by name, once you are home
- What the quote leaves out
Why there are no prices on this page
Each hospital writes its quote for you, from your own details. That written quote is the figure to compare before you book anything.

What Should You Check Before You Book a Cosmetic Hospital in Vietnam?
The Australian government advises checking that local authorities have accredited the hospital, and that your surgeon is qualified and accredited. You can start on both from home.
- Match the hospital's licence to the name and address it gives you.
- Never go to an unofficial medical facility.
- Ask how often your surgeon does your procedure.
- Look into the surgeon's reputation and the experiences of past patients.
- Check that the hospital and surgeon have indemnity and malpractice insurance.
- Read the whole written plan before you agree to anything.
- Find out who to call after surgery, at night and once you are home.
- Tell your own doctor at home what you plan to have done.
- Ask your insurer, in writing, what it covers abroad.
Standards can differ between hospitals within one country, so ask your questions before you book. Your advisor stays in your WhatsApp group to help with messages and translation.
What Beauty Link does
- Shortlists licensed hospitals that do your procedure.
- Puts you, the hospital team and your advisor in one WhatsApp group.
- Meets you at the airport and checks on you while you recover.
- Stays in touch after you fly home.
What Beauty Link does not do
- We are not a hospital, and we do not treat anyone.
- We do not give medical advice. Clinical questions go to your surgeon.
- We cannot promise how your surgery will go. No one honest can.
- We never ask you to pay us.

What Are the Risks of Plastic Surgery Abroad, and What Is Not Covered?
Every surgery carries some risk, wherever it happens. Abroad, plan your aftercare before you go, because the CDC says follow up care for a complication can be expensive.
What outside bodies say
The Australian government says there are always risks with medical procedures. It says Medicare does not cover you overseas, and to learn your legal rights in the country you travel to.
If something goes wrong
The hospital that treated you provides your care. Your advisor stays in your WhatsApp group, helps you reach the right person, and keeps checking in.
What is not covered
Ask the hospital, in writing, what its aftercare covers and what it does not, before you book. Ask your insurer the same question about complications.
What Beauty Link cannot do
We cannot answer a clinical question: that goes to your surgeon. We help you ask it.

What People Ask About Plastic Surgery in Vietnam
Here are Beauty Link's answers, the same ones we give on WhatsApp.
Yes. Beauty Link is paid by the hospital, not by you. Your money goes to the hospital for your treatment, and our help costs you nothing.
We work only with hospitals, not clinics. Each hospital we suggest is licensed by Vietnam's Ministry of Health and registered with it, and does the procedure you ask about. You can then run six checks of your own. See the six checks.
It depends on the hospital, the surgeon and you. The Australian government notes that plenty of overseas hospitals are of a similar standard to Australian ones, though standards can vary from one hospital to the next. Every surgery carries risk, wherever it happens.
Before you book, look at the hospital's licence, your surgeon's training and the aftercare plan, and ask your surgeon whether the procedure suits you. We never give medical advice. Read more on safety.
We do not name surgeons on this website. Ask the hospital who would treat you, and ask to see their training and practising licence.
The Australian government says to check that your surgeon is qualified and accredited, and to look into the doctor's reputation. healthdirect suggests you ask how many times the surgeon has done your procedure.
You can ask for a call with your surgeon before you book. We help you set it up with the hospital, in your WhatsApp group.
There is no one answer. It depends on your procedure, your surgeon, and how far from home you want your aftercare to be. Beauty Link works only in Vietnam, in Ho Chi Minh City first and Hanoi too. To weigh it up, read Vietnam compared with Thailand and Vietnam compared with Korea.
The hospital that treated you looks after your care. Your advisor stays with you in your WhatsApp group, helps you reach the right person, and keeps checking in.
Ask your surgeon. It depends on you and your procedure. We help you plan the trip around their answer.
We publish no prices. Every plan depends on you and on what your surgeon recommends, so each hospital puts its own plan and quote on paper. You compare them side by side before booking.
The Australian government says a complication can cost more to fix, so make sure your estimate covers that too. See how costs are worked out.
How to Get Your Hospital Shortlist, Then Book Your Flight
Andrew Lam, Ho Chi Minh City
You start with a few short questions about your goals. When you finish, WhatsApp opens with what you told us, and you book a free call with your advisor there.
Nothing is sold to you, because there is nothing to buy from us.
- Have you looked at plastic surgery in Vietnam and not known who to trust?
- Would you want to see the hospital's licence before you fly?
- Would you like to talk to your surgeon before you book?
- Would you want someone to meet you at the airport?
- Would you want an advisor who checks on you while you recover?
- Would you rather ask all of this before you book a flight?
If you answered yes to any of these, your next step is a few short questions. It costs nothing.
Free for patients
- Beauty Link is paid by the hospital, never by you.
- A shortlist of Ministry of Health licensed hospitals
- Plans and quotes in writing, from the hospitals
- A WhatsApp group shared with your advisor and the hospital team

P.S. Asking costs nothing, and the choice of hospital, and whether to go at all, stays with you.
