Reasons for Breast Augmentation

Breast implants help to restore volume and shape to your breasts and correct asymmetry or unevenness caused by developmental issues or breast cancer surgery. You can also opt for this procedure if you’re unhappy with the size or droop of your breasts post-pregnancy or after weight loss.

Besides fundamentally improving confidence, self-esteem, and body image, the common reasons for breast augmentation include:

Small breasts
Asymmetrical breasts
Drooping or sagging breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding
Changes in breast size or shape due to weight loss
Reconstruction after surgery to treat breast cancer
Cosmetic improvements after breast reconstruction

Breast Augmentation Procedure

When you opt for breast augmentation surgery at our clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, breast implants are inserted under the natural breast tissue or behind the chest muscles through carefully placed incisions. The incision placement is based on your anatomy, desired outcome, and the size and shape of the breast implants.

Four main types of incision patterns are used during breast augmentation:

Inframammary Incision (crease or fold incision)
Periareolar Incision (nipple incision)
Transaxillary Incision (armpit incision)
TUBA Incision (belly button or transumbilical incision)

Choosing an Implant for Breast Augmentation in Bangkok

Choose mammary prostheses that suit you.

At our leading aesthetic clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, we understand that you want to look and feel your best. Our specialist surgeons will evaluate your body, health, and preferences before recommending the best breast implants for you.

Types of Breast Implants

The two most common types of implants are saline and silicone. Saline implants consist of a silicone outer shell filled with sterile saline solution and are usually more affordable. Silicone implants are pre-filled with silicone gel and provide a more natural feel and look.

Choosing the right implant is a crucial factor in how your profile will look. For example, sagging in the breast might be better solved with a breast-lifting procedure instead of a fat transfer. There is no set path in terms of treatment, and it’s important to consider your personal preferences after a consultation with our surgeons.

Breast Implant Shapes

You can choose between round and teardrop implants. Round implants are best for giving fullness to the top of the breast, while anatomical (or teardrop) are better suited for those lacking in breast tissue or seeking a more natural look.

Round (Memory Gel): Round implants are the most popular choice for women and are suitable for most patients. The final appearance is soft, full, and well-proportioned. The best candidates for round implants tend to have little or no droop in the breast and some tissue in the breast already.
Teardrop (Memory Shape): Commonly referred to as teardrop due to their shape, anatomical implants produce a more “natural” shaped breast as they have more volume at the bottom and appear like an oval shape from the front. They’re often used for breast reconstruction or those with very little volume in the chest. They’re normally textured to prevent flipping or rotating, which causes the breasts to look uneven.

Age Considerations for Breast Augmentation

While there’s no strict upper age limit for breast augmentation at our Bangkok clinic, both physical development and emotional maturity determines if the client is ready to undergo the procedure. In Thailand, the typical age for breast augmentation is 18 years and older, but it’s often recommended to wait until after the breasts are fully developed, typically around 25 years of age. Individuals under 20 years old will require parental or guardian consent before undergoing cosmetic surgery.

Post-Surgery Results and Follow-up

A breast augmentation or breast lift surgery performed by board-certified plastic surgeons in Thailand can transform your body and boost your confidence. Expect amazing results that mimic your body’s natural look, feel, and movement.

Post-surgery, patients experience some discomfort and pain, but with proper care and rest, the pain should subside within 1 to 5 days. During recovery, it’s important to get plenty of rest, avoid strenuous activity, and wear an appropriate-fitting bra. Swelling and soreness are normal and may last for a few weeks. Pain medication may be prescribed for discomfort.

Diligently follow your doctor’s directions for an effective and quick recovery, and have regular follow-up appointments. Your doctor should be contacted if there’s excessive swelling, bleeding, or pain doesn’t subside. Certain exercises may also be recommended to improve blood flow and reduce stiffness in the area. During follow-up appointments, your doctor will evaluate the healing process, check for complications, and discuss the best ways to maintain long-lasting results.

*Recovery times / Results May Vary

Breast ptosis (breast sagging) can be caused by aging, significant weight loss or gain, pregnancy, breastfeeding, hormonal changes, genetics, poor posture, or wearing an ill-fitting bra. A breast lift surgery in Bangkok, Thailand, can help improve the appearance of your breasts. Also referred to as mastopexy, breast lift surgery is a delicate and personalized plastic surgery procedure designed to help improve the shape and position of sagging breasts.

During the procedure, excess skin and tissue are removed. The remaining tissue is carefully reshaped, and the nipples and areolas are repositioned to create a more youthful, aesthetically pleasing breast shape with a firmer, uplifted position.

Depending on the desired results and the patient's anatomy, the procedure can be done with or without implants. Although recovery time varies, it typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the complexity of the surgery. While the results of the surgery are long-lasting, it’s still important to follow up with your doctor to ensure your breasts are healthy post-surgery. Mastopexy can also be combined with other procedures at our Bangkok clinic, such as a breast augmentation or reduction, to reshape your breasts simultaneously.

Ideal Candidate for Breast Life Surgery

You may be a good candidate for breast lift surgery in Thailand if:

You’re bothered by the feeling that your breasts sag or have lost shape and volume
Your breasts have a flatter, elongated shape or are pendulous
When unsupported, your nipples fall below the breast crease
Your nipples and areolas point downward
You have stretched skin and enlarged areolas
One breast is noticeably lower than the other

If you’re considering breast lift surgery in Bangkok, consult with a specialist to determine an individualized procedure plan to get the best you desire.

Types of Breast Lift Incisions

There are several types of incisions, all of which are made according to the contour of the breast, so that scarring is hidden and minimal. The different types of incisions are:

Anchor Incision (Invert –T): Includes an incision around the areola, another along the breast crease horizontally, and one that connects both of these. Unfortunately, it’s quite invasive but must be used if there’s an extreme degree of sagging. It’s the preferred method if a breast reduction is also done simultaneously.
Lollipop Lift: Preferred for those with moderate sagging. The incision is done around the areola and vertically down to the crease in the breast, somewhat simulating a keyhole. It’s commonly used when women are not getting breast implants with a lift.
Peri-Areolar Lift: For those with moderate or mild sagging. It’s recommended if breast implants are also used.

Types of Incisions

There are several types of incisions that are possible. All incisions are made according to the contour of the breast so that scarring is hidden and minimal. Here are the different types of incisions:

Unfortunately, it is quite invasive but must be used if there is an extreme degree of sagging. It is the preferred method if a breast reduction is also done simultaneously.
Lollipop Lift is preferred for those with moderate sagging. The incision is done around the areola and vertically down to the crease in the breast, somewhat simulating a keyhole. It is commonly used when women are not getting breast implants with a lift.
Peri-Areolar Lift is for those who have moderate or mild sagging. It is recommended if breast implants are also used.

Incisions will fade over time. Your goal during the recovery period is to keep the incisions free from infections as they can make scarring worse.

Pre- and Post-Procedure, Results, and Follow-up

A lab check-up is required for the patient before the surgery. The surgery time varies according to the procedure performed, but most surgeries take approximately 2 to 4 hours. The patient will undergo general anesthesia during the operation. After a few days, you’ll have the surgical drains removed at the doctor’s office and the stitches will be removed after a few weeks.

Post-surgery, the incisions will look red or bright pink. It’s important to note that the incisions will fade over time. Your goal during the recovery period is to keep the incisions free from infections as they can make scarring worse.

During this time, a support bra should be worn to decrease the swelling of your breasts as it takes a few months to heal. It will also take several months for the sensation on your nipple and areola to return. With your doctor's permission, you may go back to work about a week after the procedure.

FAQs

1What preparations must be done before breast augmentation?

Before breast augmentation at our Bangkok clinic, candidates should have a consultation with a specialist surgeon to discuss goals, preferences, procedures, and potential risks. It’s important to discuss your medical history, previous surgeries, and allergies you may have. Additionally, specific preparation guidelines will be provided and can vary based on individual health conditions and the surgeon's advice. You may be asked to: Undergo a medical evaluation or mammogram Stop taking certain medications or adjust current medications Stop smoking to reduce the risk of complications and promote healing Avoid eating or drinking the night before the surgery

2What is the typical breast augmentation post-surgery aftercare?

Post-surgery, follow your surgeon's instructions diligently. Typical recommendations include:

Taking prescribed pain medications or antibiotics to prevent infection
Wearing a support bra or compression garment to minimize swelling and support the breasts as they heal
Keeping the incision site clean and monitoring for signs of infection
Limiting physical activity for several weeks by avoiding lifting heavy objects and strenuous exercises
Attending follow-up appointments to check on the healing process

3How long is the recovery period?

Typically, patients can return to work within a week after surgery, depending on the nature of their job. However, full recovery might take several weeks. Swelling and soreness can last a few weeks, while scars will gradually fade over months. It’s essential to follow your surgeon's advice on activity levels and restrictions to ensure optimal healing.

4Why have breast augmentation surgery at Nirunda Clinic in Bangkok?

Breast augmentation surgeries at Nirunda Clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, are performed by board-certified plastic surgeons with significant expertise. The clinic takes a personalized approach to ensure patients receive tailored recommendations based on their unique anatomy and preferences. With a focus on achieving natural-looking results that enhance a patient's confidence and body image, Nirunda combines state-of-the-art techniques with unparalleled patient care.

5What types of breast implants are available at Nirunda Clinic, Bangkok?

At Nirunda, the primary types of implants available are saline and silicone.

Saline implants consist of a silicone outer shell filled with a sterile saline solution. They are usually more affordable and can be adjusted more easily in terms of volume during surgery.
Silicone implants are pre-filled with silicone gel and tend to provide a more natural feel and appearance. In terms of shapes, you can choose from round or teardrop implants. Round implants are generally suitable for most patients and provide a soft, full appearance, especially at the top of the breast. Teardrop implants, also known as anatomical implants, produce a more “natural” shaped breast and are particularly beneficial for those with very little breast volume or those seeking a natural appearance.

6How long do the results of a breast-lifting procedure last?

A popular procedure in our Bangkok clinic, a breast lift surgery or mastopexy, is designed to elevate and reshape your breasts to a more youthful position. While the effects of a breast lift are long-lasting, it's important to note that they don’t halt the aging process. With proper care, including maintaining a stable weight and avoiding significant hormonal changes, the results of your breast lift can last for a decade or more. However, natural aging will eventually affect the breasts' position over time.

7Do scars from a breast-lifting procedure go away?

Scarring is a natural part of the healing process, and while scars from breast lift surgery in Bangkok are permanent, they significantly fade over time. Our skilled surgeons employ advanced techniques to minimize scarring and strategically place incisions in less visible areas. Within 6 to 12 months, most scars will lighten and flatten, becoming less noticeable and more integrated with your skin's natural texture.

8What are the possible risks of mastopexy and breast augmentation surgery?

While breast augmentation and mastopexy are generally safe procedures in Thailand, as with any surgery, there are potential risks. These can include reactions to anesthesia, infection, changes in nipple or breast sensation, and implant-related complications such as rupture or capsular contracture. Choosing a board-certified specialist surgeon at Nirunda Clinic in Bangkok minimizes these breast surgery risks, ensuring your safety and the best possible outcomes during breast augmentation procedures.

9Why should board-certified specialist surgeons do breast augmentation procedures in Thailand?

In Thailand, undergoing breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast implant procedures with a board-certified surgeon means you’re in the hands of a professional with extensive training, expertise, and adherence to high standards of safety and ethics. At Nirunda Clinic, our surgeons' credentials and experience in breast surgery and personalized approach provide peace of mind and ensure optimal results.
