Surgery abroad, made simple: vetted care, lower cost, and a trip worth taking.
A private residence, a live-in nurse, and time to explore before anything clinical happens.
Wat Arun, from the river — Bangkok
One of five destination cities
- 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
Recovery was always going to take a week. This is what that week could look like.
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.
Here’s what people don’t expect: recovery doesn’t have to mean gutting it out alone in a beige room with a delivery app. It can mean a private residence with a view, a chef instead of takeout, a nurse instead of a worried call to your mom. You’re already taking the time off work. You’re already arranging care, one way or another. The only real question is whether that time also gets you a city you’ve wanted to see for years — or just four walls and a recovery you handle by yourself. This isn’t a trade-off between quality and price. Increasingly, it isn’t a trade-off between healing and actually living, either.
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 got the two things I actually wanted — a place I'd always wanted to see, and finally feeling good in my own skin.”
I was nervous going in and asked a lot of questions during intake — my coordinator answered every one before I'd even landed. She was with me at every consult, the morning of surgery, and when I woke up. The residence was better than any hotel I've stayed in, and having a nurse check in daily made recovery easy instead of scary. From the airport pickup to the day I flew home, nothing was dropped.
Bangkok
“Half vacation, half the surgery I'd been putting off for years — I didn't expect to get both out of one trip.”
My coordinator picked me up at the airport and from there it just worked. I brought my sister along, and having her there — plus my coordinator at every appointment — made the nerves manageable. The medical team checked on me constantly during recovery, and honestly the apartment they set us up in was almost as good as the results.
Seoul
“I came for the surgery and left with a trip I'd actually recommend to a friend — which is exactly what I did.”
I had real anxiety before booking and went through a long list of questions during intake before I felt okay moving forward. My coordinator sat in on every consult and was there before and after surgery. Recovering in the residence, with a nurse and someone cooking for me, meant I could actually rest. I brought a friend along for the trip, and they took care of both of us like it was completely normal.
Istanbul
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.
