Breast Surgery Procedures

Breast augmentation involves using breast implants or fat transfer to enhance the size and shape of your breasts. This procedure can restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy, achieve a more rounded breast shape or improve natural breast size asymmetry.

Breast implants are not lifelong devices and it is important to have them exchanged or removed approximately every 10-15 years. This decision is typically based on the individual and the patient's needs and desires.

The goal of breast implant removal surgery is to remove breast implants from breast augmentation or breast reconstruction patients. During these procedures, the surgeon may also remove silicone material from implant leaks and the breast capsule, which is the scar tissue that forms after the placement of a breast implant.

Often, the scar tissue that forms after the placement of an implant is soft and does not need to be removed, but it may harden, causing pain and discomfort. This is often a reason to have the implants and scar tissue removed.

Corrective breast surgery or breast implant revision surgery is intended to replace old breast implants with new implants or correct a problem that has arisen from a previous breast augmentation surgery. The experienced plastic and cosmetic surgeons at Bangkok Hospital Chiang Mai can effectively address a number of issues from previous breast surgery, such as hardened breast implants, ruptured breast implants, capsular contracture, and misplacement of breast implants, for an outcome that achieves a plump, soft, natural look.

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. The procedure is customized for the individual. The surgery involves removing excess skin, so the breasts sit higher on the chest wall. Areola surgery may also be required to position and reshape the nipple to produce the most attractive outcome. Our plastic and cosmetic surgeons at Bangkok Hospital Chiang Mai have the surgical experience and expertise to enhance the appearance of your breast and help boost your self-confidence.

Women with small or poorly shaped breasts may want to increase their breast size but do not want to use saline or silicone implants. Breast implants provide too large of a size increase for some patients, and they do not always achieve the completely natural breast look and feel that some patients desire. Breast enhancement with fat transfer uses liposuction to take excess fat deposits from problem areas of the body to increase breast size and enhance breast shape. Fat transfer breast augmentation is a good option for women who are looking for a relatively small increase in breast size and would prefer natural results.
