Breast Augmentation (Tear Drop Silicone Cohesive Gel)

· Those in Bangkok, Thailand looking for breast augmentation surgery.
· Those with naturally small breasts.

· Those who wish to restore breast shape and size after pregnancy or weight loss.
· Those who wish to enhance breast appearance.

Breast Augmentation is a surgical procedure performed to enhance better breast shape and size, as well as the symmetry of the breasts. This is also an ideal solution for the ones who wish to restore the breast appearance after pregnancy, weight loss, or breastfeeding.

There is a variety of treatment methods to reconstruct or improve breasts, ranging from hyaluronic acid injection to the insertion of breast implants. At our affiliated hospital, this treatment works by inserting the silicone implant of a teardrop shape filled with silicone cohesive gel into the pocket made inside the breasts.

Silicone cohesive gel possesses a solid stick-together effect that helps to maintain the ideal shape during any physical movements, making the breasts look full and natural all the time. Moreover, in cases where the implants rupture, the cohesive gel could prevent the silicone from leaking all around the body. The ruptured implants would then be easy and safe to remove from the breast pockets.

Q1: Can I still breastfeed my children?
A1: Yes, it will not interfere with breastfeeding. Please consult with the surgeon if you are concerned.

Q2: What are the advantages of the different incision locations?
A2: The underarm incision is known for its barely visible incision marks. The areola incision is known for allowing a direct view of the surgical site, which permits the surgeon to be careful and precise when inserting the implant. It also allows for the surgeon to handle the breast tissue directly for better implant adaptation. The breast fold incision is known for its shorter surgery time and faster recovery period. However, scars may be visible if the lower part of the breast is exposed.

Q3: How do I know if I am getting an infection?
A3: You may have gotten an infection if you have the following symptoms: high fever, vomiting, nausea, your incision color turns dark red or purple, and/or the incision is producing pus. However, please rest assured that the infection risks are at 1%.
