Holiday Cosmetica introduces clients worldwide to selected overseas hospitals and clinics and provides non-clinical assistance throughout the enquiry and travel process. Medical assessments, consultations, treatment recommendations, contracts and payments are handled directly by the independent hospital or clinic. You communicate with, contract with and pay the clinic directly.
Individual results vary. Photographs show personal experiences and do not predict another person's outcome. Holiday Cosmetica does not provide medical advice. General information only.

We can introduce you — the clinic will tell you what's possible for your situation.
Cosmetic surgery services are offered at the clinic. Suitability, technique and any associated risks are discussed with you by the clinic's own clinicians during consultation.

My journey into travel began with a love of discovering new places, different cultures and experiences outside the ordinary. But over time, travel became something much more personal to me.
I began travelling internationally for cosmetic procedures myself. I experienced what it actually feels like to be the person on the plane — excited about making a change, but also nervous about travelling to another country for a procedure.
I learned how much research goes into choosing a destination, understanding a clinic, organising flights and accommodation, planning recovery and simply figuring out what happens from the moment you leave home until you safely return.
That experience changed the way I looked at cosmetic travel.
I realised there were many women and men considering the same journey who didn't necessarily know where to begin. They might spend months searching online, comparing clinics and trying to separate genuine information from marketing.
I thought: there has to be a better way to do this.
That became the idea behind Holiday Cosmetica.
I wanted to combine my experience in travel with what I had personally learned from travelling overseas for cosmetic procedures and create a service that helps other people navigate their own journey.
Holiday Cosmetica isn't about telling someone they need to change how they look. It's about supporting people who have already decided they want to explore their options and helping them do it with more information, organisation and confidence.
Today, we're building Holiday Cosmetica around destinations across Asia, bringing the travel and cosmetic journey together in one place — from exploring destinations and clinics to accommodation, travel planning and recovery.
Because I've been the traveller myself. I've had the questions. I've felt the nerves. I've experienced the excitement.
And I know how valuable it is to have someone helping you navigate the journey.
That's why I created Holiday Cosmetica — so you don't have to figure it all out alone.

Holiday Cosmetica is a clinic-referral and personal-guidance service. We do not sell surgery, collect client payments, issue medical quotations or provide medical care. You communicate with, contract with and pay the clinic directly.
We personally introduce you to Gangwhoo Cosmetic Hospital or HAN BEAUTY – HAN DENTAL in Vietnam — our selected partner clinics.
The clinic prepares a written quotation based on your goals and any information you choose to share. Every quote comes directly from the clinic.
We walk you through the information the clinic requires — dates, medical history questions, travel documents — so your first conversation is smooth.
Honest answers to everyday questions from founders who have personally travelled for cosmetic procedures.
We introduce you to the clinic's own patient coordinator so all medical questions go to the qualified team.
We stay in touch on WhatsApp while you ask questions, review the clinic's written quotation and plan your trip.
Holiday Cosmetica provides clinic introductions and non-medical travel guidance. We do not recommend a particular procedure or provide medical advice.
We understand the excitement, uncertainty and practical questions — because we've lived them ourselves. Both Charlene and Kim (66) have personally travelled to Thailand and undergone cosmetic surgery there. Charlene has also completed her own Vietnam face-and-smile journey with Gangwhoo and Han Beauty. Between us we've walked into a lot of clinic waiting rooms, packed a lot of recovery bags and answered a lot of 3 a.m. WhatsApp questions.

Kim is co-founder of Holiday Cosmetica. She has personally travelled overseas for cosmetic surgery and speaks openly about her experience. Kim is based in Australia and can provide on-ground support in Ho Chi Minh City when her schedule and your dates align — subject to availability and arrangements confirmed for each enquiry.

Charlene is the founder of Holiday Cosmetica. Her background spans travel and personal cosmetic-travel experience — she has travelled overseas for cosmetic procedures herself. She started Holiday Cosmetica so that other women could receive honest introductions, practical non-medical guidance, and someone to talk to from first message through to recovery. Enquiries land on her personal WhatsApp.
Holiday Cosmetica may receive a referral commission from a partner clinic. This does not increase the clinic price charged to the client.
Holiday Cosmetica is not a medical clinic and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, nursing or emergency care. Every procedure is subject to an independent medical assessment by the clinic. All medical recommendations, quotations, treatment, complications management and clinical follow-up remain the responsibility of the clinic and its qualified healthcare professionals. Individual results and recovery experiences vary.
Send your first name, country, treatment interest and preferred destination. That's all we need to start.
We personally connect you with a trusted partner clinic and its international patient coordinator. You take it from there.
The clinic prepares a personalised written quotation for your review. Every medical decision remains between you and the clinic.
We currently have written referral agreements with two Vietnamese clinics — Gangwhoo Cosmetic Hospital and Han Beauty. All other destinations are discussed individually.
