Breast Augmentation in Bangkok, Thailand

Is breast augmentation safe in Bangkok?

Yes, it is highly safe when performed in accredited hospitals. Bangkok is a global medical hub with many hospitals holding JCI accreditation, which is the gold standard for healthcare safety (the same as top US hospitals). Surgeons are highly trained, often board-certified, and follow strict international protocols for sterilization and anesthesia.

What brands of implants are used?

Top clinics in Bangkok use only FDA-approved or CE-marked implants from leading global manufacturers. The most common brands are Motiva (known for their safety chips and natural feel), Mentor (Johnson & Johnson), and Allergan (Natrelle). You will receive a warranty card with the serial number of your implants after surgery.

How long do I need to stay in Bangkok?

Most surgeons recommend a stay of 7 to 10 days. The surgery itself usually requires a 1-night hospital stay. You will have a follow-up appointment around day 7 to remove stitches (if they are not dissolvable) and check the healing of the incisions. After this final check-up, you are typically cleared to fly home.

Can I combine surgery with a vacation?

Yes, but with caution. It is best to enjoy your vacation activities (sightseeing, beach, shopping) *before* your surgery. After the procedure, you will need to rest in your hotel and avoid swimming, heavy lifting, or excessive heat. Think of the post-surgery period as a "recovery retreat" rather than an adventure holiday.

What incision placement options are available?

Thai surgeons are skilled in all incision techniques. The most common is the inframammary (under the breast fold) for better visibility and control. However, many Bangkok specialists are experts in the transaxillary (armpit) incision, often using endoscopes to ensure precise pocket creation with no visible scar on the breast itself. Periareolar (nipple) incisions are also an option.

Is there a language barrier?

In the major international hospitals and clinics catering to medical tourists, there is virtually no language barrier. Surgeons speak fluent English, and hospitals provide professional interpreters for various languages. All medical documents, consent forms, and discharge instructions will be provided in English.

What happens if I have a complication back home?

Complications are rare, but reputable clinics have protocols in place. They usually offer free revision surgery (excluding hospital fees) if the issue is related to the implant or surgical technique within a certain timeframe. You should also maintain contact with your surgeon via WhatsApp or email. It is highly recommended to have a local GP at home who knows about your surgery for routine checks.

Does the cost include everything?

It depends on the package. A standard "all-inclusive" quote usually includes the surgeon's fee, anesthesiologist, O.R. fees, 1 night in the hospital, medication, and implants. It typically *excludes* pre-op blood tests (which are cheap), flight tickets, and your hotel stay after discharge. Always ask for a detailed breakdown before booking.

How soon can I fly after surgery?

You are generally fit to fly 5 to 7 days after surgery. However, long-haul flights increase the risk of DVT (blood clots). Surgeons recommend wearing compression socks, staying hydrated, and walking around the cabin. Lifting your luggage into the overhead bin is strictly forbidden—you will need assistance with your bags.

Will the implants look fake?

This depends on your preference and the surgeon's skill. Thai surgeons are known for their ability to deliver both "natural" and "enhanced" looks. During your consultation, you will discuss your goals. Using "tear-drop" shaped implants or placing the implant under the muscle (dual plane) generally results in a very natural slope and feel.
