Breast Augmentation in Thailand

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to increase breast size and improve breast shape and proportion using breast implants. The procedure is individually planned around your existing breast tissue, body shape, anatomy and desired outcome.

At MediCation Tours, your breast augmentation is arranged as part of an all-inclusive medical tourism package, including surgery, hospital stay, accommodation, transfers and patient support.

Before you travel, our surgeons review the medical information and photographs you provide and make a preliminary assessment of your suitability for surgery.

Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation may be suitable if you:

Want to increase your breast size

Want to improve the shape or proportion of your breasts

Have lost breast volume following pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight changes

Have naturally small breasts

Have differences in breast size or shape

Have realistic expectations about surgery, implants, scarring and recovery

You should discuss your circumstances with the surgeon if you:

Are planning pregnancy

Are planning significant weight loss

Have had previous breast surgery

Have medical conditions that may affect surgery or healing

Smoke or use nicotine products

Are currently breastfeeding

Your suitability for surgery and the most appropriate surgical approach are determined by the surgeon following an individual assessment.

What Does Breast Augmentation Do?

Increase Breast Size

Breast implants add volume to the breasts to create the increase in size you are looking for.

Improve Breast Shape and Proportion

Breast augmentation can improve breast shape and help create greater balance and proportion between the breasts and the rest of your body.

Restore Breast Volume

Breast augmentation may restore volume that has been lost following pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes or the natural ageing process.

Address Breast Asymmetry

Breast augmentation may help improve differences in breast size or shape. Some degree of natural asymmetry is common, and your surgeon will assess your individual anatomy when planning your surgery.

Breast Implant Options

MediCation Tours offers breast augmentation using established implant brands including Motiva and Mentor.

Implants are available in different sizes, shapes and profiles. The appropriate implant depends on factors including your existing breast tissue, chest width, anatomy, skin quality and your desired result.

Your surgeon will discuss the available implant options with you and recommend an implant that is appropriate for your individual anatomy and goals.

The final implant selection is confirmed with your surgeon during your consultation in Thailand.

Implants up to around 400cc are commonly available in Thailand, while larger sizes may need to be specially ordered.

Breast Implants Above 400cc

If you are considering implants 500cc or larger, these will generally need to be specially ordered in Thailand. As patients in Thailand are often smaller-framed, hospitals typically stock a wider range of smaller implant sizes, while larger implants may not be readily available.

For this reason, we recommend having a physical examination with a qualified breast surgeon in your own country before requesting your quote. The surgeon can assess your individual anatomy and advise you on the appropriate implant size, shape, profile, type and brand, including the maximum size that may be suitable for you.

Once you have this information, simply send us the surgeon's recommendations and we can use these details to obtain a quote from Thailand.

Once you are happy with your quote and decide to proceed, we can arrange for your larger implants to be specially ordered and available for your surgery.

Implant Placement

Breast implants can be placed in different positions depending on your anatomy, existing breast tissue and the result you are looking to achieve.

Over the Muscle (Subglandular)

The implant is placed behind the breast tissue and above the chest muscle.

Under the Muscle (Submuscular)

The implant is placed beneath the chest muscle.

Dual Plane

The implant is placed partly under the chest muscle and partly behind the breast tissue. This technique may be recommended for some patients depending on their anatomy and desired result.

Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate implant placement for you during your consultation.

Implant Insertion

Some surgeons may use a sterile disposable implant delivery funnel when placing the implant.

The funnel allows the implant to be inserted with minimal direct handling, which may help reduce contact with the implant during surgery and may allow a smaller incision in some circumstances.

The use of an implant delivery system depends on the surgeon and your individual surgical plan.

Can Breast Augmentation Be Combined With Other Procedures?

Breast augmentation is often combined with other cosmetic procedures, including:

● Breast lift

● Tummy tuck

● Liposuction

● Other body-contouring procedures

A breast lift may be recommended when there is significant breast drooping or excess skin. Breast augmentation alone does not lift significantly drooping breasts.

The surgeon will determine whether combined procedures are appropriate based on your health, anatomy and the overall extent of surgery.

Breast Augmentation Consultation

Before you travel, we collect your medical information and photographs and send these to your surgeon for a preliminary assessment. This allows the surgeon to review your case and provide an initial recommendation.

If you have questions about the surgeon's preliminary recommendation, we are happy to go back to the surgeon with your questions so you can feel comfortable and informed before you travel.

During your consultation in Thailand, the surgeon will:

Review your medical history

Examine your breasts and chest

Discuss your goals and desired outcome

Discuss implant size, shape and profile

Discuss implant placement

Confirm your final surgical plan

Your in-person consultation allows the surgeon to examine you and confirm the final surgical plan before you proceed with surgery.

Pre-Operative Assessment

Before surgery, the hospital will complete the medical assessments required for your procedure. Depending on your circumstances, these may include:

Blood tests

ECG

Chest X-ray

Physical examination

Medical history assessment

Breast imaging where required

The exact tests required may vary depending on your age, medical history and hospital requirements.

Breast Augmentation Procedure

Breast augmentation is performed under general anaesthesia.

Your Patient Coordinator will be with you on the day of surgery to provide support.

The procedure generally involves:

1 Incisions

The surgeon makes an incision using the technique selected for your individual surgical plan.

2 Procedure

The implant is positioned either over the muscle, under the muscle or using a dual-plane technique, depending on your anatomy and the surgeon's recommendation.

3 Closure

The incision is carefully closed and dressings are applied. Drains are used if required.

4 Recovery

You are monitored in the recovery area before being transferred to your hospital room.

Positioning and Assessment

The surgeon checks the implant position and overall breast shape.

Breast Augmentation Scarring

Breast augmentation creates a scar at the incision site. The location and length of the scar depend on the surgical technique and incision used.

Your surgeon will discuss the incision options available to you and recommend the most appropriate approach based on your anatomy and implant selection.

Scars gradually change in appearance and generally become less noticeable as they mature.
