Most women who travel to Bangkok
for breast surgery want a breast augmentation. This may be to increase
the size of their breasts or to provide shape when most of the mass
of the breasts has been lost.
Some women in their 40s who have
breast fed their children are surprised to be told that only implants
won’t provide their former pre-babies rounded and shapely breasts.
They discover that they actually need a breast lift as well as an
augmentation to give them the silhouette they want. This is also
the case with women who have experienced significant loss of weight.
Women whose breasts are irregularly
shaped or unevenly sized can benefit from implants alone or restored
with a combination of implants, nipple repositioning and/or a breast
lift. Women whose breasts have been depleted can undergo a breast
restoration.
The cost of breast reduction surgery
is often reimbursed by medical insurers if it is demonstrated that
the breast size poses health concerns.
Some women write to us asking
about liposuction for large breasts. We don’t schedule nor encourage
this procedure. Breasts are made largely of breast tissue, with
larger breasts having a greater proportion of fat. A liposuction
procedure that will leave breast tissue undamaged while removing
fat cells has yet to be found medically viable.
Also, some women write to us because
they want their fat transferred into their breasts. We don’t schedule
or support this procedure either. Surgeons we know make the case
that the calcified residual of the transferred fat cells, as they
die out, can mask cancer cells during a routine mammogram or ultrasound.
We think that's an excellent reason not to consider fat transfer
into breast tissue.
