Ten days in Bangkok.
A surgeon vetted in person, a private residence on the river, and four days of temples and street food before anything clinical happens.
Wat Arun, from the river — Bangkok
- JCI Accredited — personally vetted, not just certified
- 50–75% below U.S. pricing — even after adding recovery care
- 5 cities — each one built for something different
- Your own coordinator — one person, one WhatsApp thread, start to finish
Hand-selected — every partner hospital visited in person, every surgeon's board certification and case volume verified by us before your name is ever attached to a date. How we vet
First step
Thought about it. Never knew where to start.
That's exactly where we come in. We negotiate directly with vetted, JCI-accredited hospitals and personally check every surgeon's credentials and case history — so you know exactly who's operating on you before you ever book a flight, instead of gambling on a clinic you found in a Facebook group.
Why travel overseas
You could have this surgery ten minutes from home. Here’s why you shouldn’t.
A tummy tuck in the U.S. runs about $10,000 — and that’s before a single night of private nursing, before a hotel room to recover in, before someone to cook for you while you can’t stand up straight. In Bangkok, the same board-certified surgeon, at a hospital that performs more of this exact procedure every year than most U.S. hospitals combined, costs less — even after we add a private residence, a live-in nurse, and four days to actually see the city first. This isn’t a trade-off between quality and price. For the first time, it doesn’t have to be.
I
World-renowned care
Surgeons who've done this a thousand times — not once this month.
II
The same price, done better
Add up a U.S. hotel room, a private nurse, and two weeks of takeout. Now compare that total to ours. We usually still win — before you've even booked the flight.
III
A trip, not just a treatment
Four days in the city before surgery. A river view instead of a parking lot during recovery. You'll come home with a story that isn't only about your body.

Vetted & trusted
Personally vetted, not just accredited
Anyone can put a JCI badge on a website. We've been inside the operating theatres. Every hospital in the Bello network was chosen the way we'd choose care for our own family — and if we wouldn't send our mother there, we don't send you there either.
- Accreditation, verified at the source
- We confirm JCI or national accreditation directly with the accrediting body and check the expiry date — not a badge scraped off a website.
- An in-person site visit
- A Bello coordinator has walked the operating theatres, wards, and recovery floors of every partner hospital we refer to, and met the surgical team face to face.
- Surgeon credentials and case volume
- Board certification, years in the specialty, and annual case volume for your specific procedure — requested from the hospital in writing and checked before a surgeon joins the network.
- Ongoing outcome review
- We follow up with every patient at 1 week, 6 weeks, and 6 months, and review each partner quarterly. Partners have been removed for this reason.
What the week actually felt like
Three people, three cities, and the days they remember — told the way they'd tell a friend over dinner.
“I keep telling people about the river, and they keep asking about the surgery.”
I flew in on a Tuesday expecting to be nervous for a week. Instead I spent the first three days doing the thing I'd have done on a normal holiday — walking too far, eating on plastic stools, taking the ferry north because someone at the residence said the light was better in the afternoon.
The surgery day itself was the least memorable part, which I mean as a compliment. My coordinator met me at the hospital at six, was there when I woke up, and answered a WhatsApp message at eleven that night about whether I was allowed a second pillow.
What I actually came home with — besides the obvious — was a city I know now. I could get from Tha Tien to Chinatown without a map.
- Day 2
- Wat Arun at eight, before the heat and before anyone else
- Day 3
- River cruise north, then an hour doing nothing at a café in Thewet
- Day 4
- Procedure. Coordinator at the hospital both ends of it.
- Day 8
- First proper walk again — the flat riverside stretch, twenty slow minutes
“The part I didn't expect was how ordinary it felt to be there.”
I'd built the trip up into something enormous in my head. Then I landed, took a train from the airport like a normal person, and had noodles at Gwangjang market before I'd even unpacked.
Seoul made the whole thing feel unremarkable in the best way. Palaces in the morning, a stream walk in the afternoon because it was flat and I was told to keep moving gently, a bakery in an old bathhouse where I sat for two hours and read.
My coordinator texted every morning and never once made me feel like a case number. When I got a rash on day six she had a dermatologist appointment for me by lunch.
- Day 1
- Gwangjang market, on no sleep, entirely worth it
- Day 2
- Gyeongbokgung at ten, then downhill through Samcheong-dong
- Day 3
- Consult, then Café Onion for the rest of the afternoon
- Day 7
- Cheonggyecheon stream, lit up, walked slowly end to end
“Twelve days, and four of them were just ferries and books on a balcony.”
I chose Istanbul for the surgeon and stayed interested in Istanbul for everything else. The first evening I took the ferry to Kadıköy because my coordinator said to do it before anything else, and she was right — the whole city arranges itself once you've seen it from the water.
Recovery was a balcony in Cihangir, a stack of books, and a housekeeper who kept appearing with soup I hadn't asked for. By the second week I was walking the Moda seafront every evening because it's flat the whole way.
I had one bad night, around day five. I sent a message at 2am not really expecting anything. She called back in four minutes.
- Day 1
- Eminönü ferry across to Kadıköy, sat outside at the back
- Day 3
- Süleymaniye terrace in the morning, meze at lunch
- Day 5
- Procedure, then a quiet week in the residence
- Day 10
- Moda seafront, every evening after that
Your coordinator
One name, one number
Every Bello trip is run by one dedicated coordinator, from your first message to your flight home — reachable by WhatsApp, not a call center. They live in the city you're travelling to, they know which pharmacy is open on a Sunday, and they will tell you honestly when a surgeon isn't the right fit for what you want — because they've met that surgeon, walked the ward, and checked the credentials themselves.
Meet your coordinator- One person, start to finish
- The coordinator who answers your first message is the one who meets you at arrivals, sits in on your consult, and confirms your flight home. No handoffs, no ticket numbers.
- They've stood in the hospital
- Your coordinator has personally visited the hospital and met the surgical team — this isn't a directory listing, it's a relationship we've built and keep checking.
- WhatsApp, not a call center
- You have their number. Two in the morning on day five counts as a reasonable hour, and they've heard the question before.
- In the room when it matters
- Hospital admission, pharmacy runs, the awkward conversation about whether you're allowed to swim yet — your coordinator handles it in the local language.
Every patient, represented
Bello is for every body — every background, every gender, every goal.

Refer a friend
The best recommendation is someone who's already been
Almost everyone who books with Bello heard about it from a person, not an advertisement. So we'd rather put the spend there. If a friend travels on your recommendation, both of you get something worth having — and they get to arrive already knowing someone who's done it.
Introduce a friend- For your friend
- A guided excursion of their choice, on us — the river cruise, the temple morning, the food walk. Added to their itinerary before they land.
- For you
- A non-invasive add-on treatment on your next trip — a signature facial, an IV drip, laser toning — or the same excursion credit if you'd rather travel again first.
- How it works
- Tell your coordinator who to expect. They reach out personally, the way you would. No codes, no landing pages, no affiliate dashboard.
Somewhere in Bangkok, a surgeon has an open date in October.
You don’t have to decide tonight. But you might catch yourself thinking about the river.
