About Dr. Vatee Nakakes

Dr. Vatee Nakakes is an Anesthesiologist with a broad scope of specialization and is one of the most important members of the surgical team that maintains patient safety at the JCI accredited Asia Cosmetic Hospital. The surgeons are the ones who transform the physical appearance of patients undergoing cosmetic procedures while Dr. Nakakes handles the "hidden" part of the process by ensuring that the patient is comfortable, has as little pain as possible, and remains physiologically stable during this time.

As a result of his ability to customize anesthesia protocols to fit the specific needs of large volumes of high-end aesthetic surgical cases (such as facial contouring and/or multiple-stage gender reassignment), he is widely recognized as one of the top Anesthesiologists in the country.

The exceptional bedside manner of Dr. Nakakes, combined with his extremely calm nature, allows him to provide reassurance to many anxious international patients prior to their cosmetic surgeries. Dr. Nakakes works closely with the cardiologists and lead surgeons at the Asia Cosmetic Hospital to continue the hospital's impressive 0% post-operative complication rate due to anesthesia issues.

All Procedures

Performed by Dr. Vatee Nakakes

General Surgery

General Surgery

General surgery abroad covers hernia repair, cholecystectomy, appendectomy, thyroidectomy, colorectal surgery, and abdominal procedures using minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic techniques. These procedures address common surgical conditions with high precision, minimal scarring, and rapid recovery. General surgical costs vary greatly between countries. A [laparoscopic](https://curemeabroad.com/treatments/laparoscopic-surgery) cholecystectomy that costs $15,000 to $25,000 at home may be available for $2,000 to $5,000 abroad at equally accredited hospitals with board-certified general surgeons performing high-volume, low-complication procedures. [Leading international surgical centers](https://curemeabroad.com/) offer shorter waiting times, advanced laparoscopic and robotic capabilities, and streamlined pre-operative and post-operative care. Patients consistently report receiving more attentive surgical planning and recovery support than they experienced at home. The surgeon's laparoscopic experience and the hospital's accreditation are the most important factors. Confirm the surgeon's annual procedure volume and complication rates. Following postoperative wound care instructions, activity restrictions, and dietary guidelines directly influences recovery speed and long-term outcomes.

Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation treatment abroad offers intensive neurological, orthopedic, cardiac, and post-surgical recovery programs at internationally accredited rehabilitation centers staffed by physiatrists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech-language therapists, and neuropsychologists. High-intensity [therapy](https://curemeabroad.com/blogs/how-much-does-targeted-therapy-cost-2026) programs using robotic and virtual reality technology accelerate functional recovery. Inpatient rehabilitation in many countries is expensive, short, and not sufficiently intensive. A comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation program that costs $30,000 to $80,000 at home may be available for $5,000 to $20,000 abroad at equally accredited centers with equivalent or greater daily therapy intensity. Leading international rehabilitation centers offer 3 to 5 hours of daily therapy, advanced [robotic](https://curemeabroad.com/treatments/robotic-surgery) rehabilitation technology (Lokomat, Armeo, Ekso), and multidisciplinary team management. Patients consistently report receiving more intensive, individualized therapy than they found at home. The program's daily therapy intensity and the multidisciplinary team's experience are the most critical factors. Confirm daily therapy hours and the range of allied health professionals included. Family education, home exercise programs, and continuation of therapy after returning home are essential to sustain gains made during intensive inpatient rehabilitation.

Anti Aging

Anti Aging

Anti-aging treatment abroad covers hormone optimization, NAD+ therapy, regenerative aesthetics, longevity health screenings, and cellular rejuvenation programs at physician-led clinics and luxury wellness centers. Programs are science-backed and tailored to each patient's unique biology and longevity goals. Longevity and anti-aging programs in Western countries carry premium price tags. Comprehensive [anti-aging programs](https://curemeabroad.com/treatments/skin-care/anti-aging-treatment) that cost $15,000 to $40,000 at home may be available for $4,000 to $12,000 abroad at equally credentialed clinics with board-certified physicians specializing in longevity and regenerative medicine. Leading [international anti-aging centers](https://curemeabroad.com/) offer advanced biomarker testing, personalized supplementation protocols, and multi-disciplinary longevity teams. Patients consistently report receiving more individualized, science-driven programs than they found available at home. The physician's credentials in longevity or integrative medicine and the quality of diagnostics are the most important factors. Confirm the program begins with thorough hormonal, metabolic, and genomic profiling. Lifestyle adherence — nutrition, sleep, exercise, and stress management — forms the foundation upon which all clinical anti-aging interventions build.

The hospital follows JCI standards, and having a dedicated anesthesiologist like Dr. Nakakes who stays with you the whole time is a game-changer. I felt very safe. The nurses were gentle and the doctor was in a good mood and smiling, which helps when you are nervous.

Prior to surgery, they addressed all my numerous questions. Dr. Vatee was especially thorough in explaining the sedation process. I felt secure and calm. The recovery was difficult due to swelling, but the pain management during the first 48 hours was excellent.
