Am I a candidate for breast augmentation surgery?
If you are looking to improve the size or shape of your breast and are otherwise healthy you may be a good candidate for breast augmentation surgery. It is, however, important that you have realistic expectations to the outcome of breast augmentation. In addition, your breasts should be fully developed and you should not be pregnant.

How do I prepare for breast augmentation surgery?
It is important that you give it careful consideration and have clear and realistic expectations before you decide to have breast augmentation. You will, of course, have the opportunity to ask the surgeon any questions you may have before deciding to come to Bangkok for you breast augmentation. One of the most important aspects of your preparation for breast augmentation is your pre-surgery consultation with the surgeon where you will discuss your expectations and how to achieve the best outcome for you. Furthermore, you must not smoke, drink alcohol, or take any medications or vitamins 2 weeks before your breast augmentation surgery.

The procedure
Breast augmentation surgery is performed under general anesthesia.  The incision may be done around the areola, at the armpits, or at the inferior breast folds depending upon the patient's choice and doctor's preference. The implant may be positioned either under or over the breast muscles depending on the patient's breast anatomy.  Breast augmentation usually takes between one or two hours to perform.

Breast Implants
Overall there are distinguished between two types of breast implants: Silicone breast implants and saline breast implants. Silicone breast implants are normally used because they give are more natural look and feel. However, there are also other factors to consider. The breast implants may be of a round or teardrop shap and they may have either a smooth or textured surface. The surgeons at our partner hospital normally prefers to use round silicone implants with textured surface. However, other types of breast implants may be used upon request from the patient.
