Breast Augmentation Overseas & Breast Implants Information abroad – General Information

Breast Enlargement/Augmentation with implants is advised for women whose breasts have not developed as much as they wished. It is possible to perform the breast augmentation surgery on women of 18 years old and older. The breasts are enlarged by surgical procedure using saline or silicon implants. Breast Enlargement surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and it takes 2–3 hours. For clients with some amounts of sagginess our Thailand plastic surgeons can also advise breast enlargement in a combination with Breast Uplift.

If you are considering a breast enlargement/augmentation

Breast augmentation Overseas, technically known as augmentation mammaplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breasts for a number of reasons, to enhance the body contour of a woman who, for personal reasons, feels her breast size is too small, to correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy, to balance a difference in breast size or as a reconstructive technique following breast surgery.

By inserting an implant behind each breast, plastic surgeons are able to increase a woman's bust line by one or more bra cup sizes.

The best candidates for breast enlargement / Augmentation

The best candidates for breast enlargement are women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you're physically healthy and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate for this cosmetic surgery.

Preparation for breast enlargement / Augmentation

Pharmaceuticals containing acetylsalicylic acid (Acylpirin, Aspirin, and Anopyrin etc.) should not be used for 3 weeks before the Breast Enlargment cosmetic surgery, as they decrease clotting time of blood. In case you are a smoker you are advised to stop smoking or at least to cut down on cigarettes. Smoking slows down recovery process and it can also increase a risk or complications.

Type of breast implants overseas

Saline implants – our plastic surgeons do not use this type of implants. These implants are about half as expensive as silicone gel implants, but they feel less soft and natural then silicone gel implants.
Silicone gel implants – the best quality of implants available in the world right now. These implants have a shell made of several layers of silicone rubber. The silicon used in gel implants is semi-solid (non-runny and less likely to migrate). Our plastic surgeons use McGhan and Eurosilicons silicon gel breast implants.

Post operational course – Breast Enlargement/ Augmentation

If a drain is introduced during the operation, it is removed within 24 hours. After the surgery the incisions will be covered with light dressings and you will be placed in a special surgical supportive bra, which is already included in the price of your cosmetic surgery. This bra should be worn at all times (even at night) for 14 days to 3 weeks.
It is not possible to sleep on the abdomen for a period of 5 weeks. Within a few days you can shower. When you are released from the clinic you are given the instructions from your plastic surgeon how to exchange the dressings. Every 2–3 days we will take you for a free check up to the clinic, so your plastic surgeon can keep an eye on your recovery.
You will be able to resume everyday activities after a few days, but must avoid lifting objects over the head or making fast movements during the first 4–6 weeks. If you have small children who require a lot of lifting, you need a plan for additional help during the initial recovery period.
The individual post-operative process is very important and you can participate on that by following the instructions given by your Thailand plastic surgeon and a healthy diet.

How will I Feel After Breast Enlargement/Augmentation Surgery

After Breast Augmentation surgery you will probably feel tired, sleepy and suffer from pain particularly during the first three days after surgery. Your Thailand plastic surgeon will also prescribe antibiotics as a prevention of any potential infection and also tablets for reducing the swelling.
You might also feel unhappy after a few days. This is normal and is caused due to the stress, general anaesthetic, lack of patience with the healing problems, more pain than you expected or the fact that because you underwent breast enlargement surgery abroad you miss your home and family.
Some clients suffer from constipation. We advise you to bring some gentle medication or you can buy it in Thailand.

Is the breast enlargement / augmentation recovery painful?

According to our client’s experience they do feel some pain after Breast Enlargement surgery, especially during the first days. However, when you will be leaving the clinic you will be prescribe painkillers by your Thailand plastic surgeon. You might also feel discomfort, swelling, heaviness, and numbness in the areas where surgery was performed.

Possible Risks and Complications – Breast Enlargement / Augmentation

The specific risks and the suitability of Breast Enlargement for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation. The most significant risk that occurs in 5% of cases is the capsular contracture, a condition that causes the naturally forming scar tissue around a breast implant to contract, occurs in a very small number of clients and can make the breast feel firmer than normal. While this condition can be addressed surgically, correction is not always permanent. Please bear in mind that all surgical procedures have some degree of risk. Minor complications that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally. Major complications are rare.
