Only choose hospitals licensed for breast augmentation, facelift, and liposuction

Breast augmentation, facelift, and liposuction are major surgical procedures that require general anaesthesia. Therefore, medical facilities performing these operations must meet high safety standards, have a team of specialised doctors, and be equipped with certified resuscitation and emergency systems.

According to Article 25 of Circular No. 41/2011/TT-BYT, services such as breast augmentation, liposuction, and facelift are only permitted to be performed at specialised aesthetic surgery hospitals, or general hospitals with a dedicated aesthetic surgery department or room, explicitly licensed to perform these procedures.

Clinics, spas, beauty salons, and beauty centres are not permitted to perform breast augmentation, facelift, or liposuction, even if they employ specialised doctors. These facilities lack the personnel, equipment, and anaesthesia safety conditions required to manage potential complications.

Gangwhoo is one of the hospitals fully qualified to provide medical examinations and treatments to foreign clients

A licensed hospital must meet the following criteria:

• Hold a legal operating licence and explicit authorisation to perform procedures such as breast augmentation, facelift, and liposuction.

• Employ a team of well-trained doctors with valid practising certificates.

• Operate sterile theatres staffed by qualified anaesthetists and resuscitation specialists.

• Use modern medical equipment and follow complication control procedures that comply with Ministry of Health standards.

Undergo pre-surgical health screening and understand legal requirements

Before any breast augmentation, facelift, or liposuction procedure, clients must undergo a comprehensive health check-up to ensure they are medically fit for anaesthesia and surgery. This typically includes blood tests, coagulation tests, hepatitis screening, and HIV testing; liver and kidney function tests; and cardiac and pulmonary ultrasound, ECG (electrocardiogram), fasting blood sugar, and HbA1c.

If you have pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or cardiovascular disease, they must be stably managed before travelling to Vietnam. Otherwise, you may be deemed unfit for surgery upon arrival.

Be wary of facilities advertising “Low prices, Lifetime warranty”

Many unlicensed facilities use misleading marketing tactics, including promising a “lifetime warranty”; offering extremely low prices with a refund guarantee if results are unsatisfactory; advertising free breast implants or discounts of up to 70% for foreign clients.

In reality, these establishments lack official licences to perform breast augmentation, abdominal liposuction, or facelift. Their doctors may lack proper certification or be outsourced personnel. They typically do not have adequate anaesthesia, resuscitation, or emergency care systems.

If complications arise, clients often receive no legal protection. Worse still, some unethical providers may use contracts to legally bind clients into paying unexpected additional charges post-surgery.

Under Law 15/2023/QH15, such practices may result in fines of up to VND 200 million or revocation of the business’s operating licence. Additionally, criminal prosecution may follow if serious harm occurs.
