Excellent experience. I was initially a little skeptical about having surgery in Thailand until it was pointed out to me that these surgeons turn men into beautiful women.
I have been able to put a pencil under my breasts since I was 14. I've always been described as the 'top heavy' girl and have lived my life in size small skirts and size large (and baggy) tops. I went on holiday to Phuket and met a woman who had a breast reduction in Phuket and said it had changed her life. I had my surgery on 26th April 2011 and it's amazing how great I look (and modest I feel)!
I used arnica beforehand and bromelain post op, I've had absolutely no bruising and very little swelling.
I spent 2 weeks recovering in a gorgeous resort on the beach but close to the hospital. The whole experience has been so much better than I would have imagined.
I am talking with the hospital about becoming an agent for them, I'd be delighted to recommend them to anyone.

6 months post-op very happy with aesthetic results. Hoping for a little more sensitivity to return. Feeling very natural and have got used to them.

I've been to Rigby and Peller in London and my new size is 32D. I'm happy with that, they are still soooo much smaller and more shapely.

Excellent care and a five star experience. The hospital has the best equipment and world reknowned doctors. These doctors make men into beautiful women, so reducing and lifting my E cup breasts was done with great expertise. My stitches look like they were sewn by a master tailor.

Fabulous results! Thank you for sharing your story here on RealSelf.
That is wonderful that you had such an amazing experience and now feel like a new woman. You sharing your story really helps other women.
Hello- They did a fabulous job! I will be having a reduction in NYC-next week - can you tell me how you used the Arnica-as a topical or an oral as well as the Bromelain-oral? And in what amounts?
Thanks Much
I'm so well now. I've gone back to the gym and am feeling quite normal, but it's taken 5 weeks.
How are you? How did your procedure go?
My Z-bra has been my best investment, just fantastic.
I had a breast reduction and tummy tuck in Bangkok, and I'm very happy with the results. I would go back in a minute if I needed something else done.
When I need my facelift (about 5 years time) I will go to Thailand, I was so impressed with the facilities and the surgeons.
Did you have your surgery performed at the big hospital in Bangkok?
I went on my own and was there for 2 weeks. Just read lots of books and watched the Royal Wedding on TV. The Dewa is a beautiful resort and you have an apartment with a kitchen and a balcony. Drop Helen a line at PIAC on info@plastic-surgery-phuket.com, tell her that Louise has referred you from Singapore. I paid a whole lot less than you and the service, procedure and care were excellent. And I got to totally relax for 2 weeks!
I do get the occasional twinge of pain in my nipple area, but not every day and it's not much at all. I'm still not giving bear hugs! But very happy with the results and being patient about the scar healing, 10 weeks on.
I am maggie living in CHINA,23 years old,I hate my big breast,really want to make it samller.
so,would you please tell me the procedure to have a surgury like you do in thailand?what shoud I do in the first step?
Maggie, you also have to consider the possible scarring. I've been married for a long time so my husband was not bothered, but I'm not sure if I would be happy with the scars if I was dating.
If you are totally sure you would like to go ahead with the procedure I am happy to give you further information.
My surgeon was recommended to me by a friend, I live in Singapore so Thailand is a 90 minute flight. The hospital gave recommendations of the best hotels to stay at and they have very good rates with the resorts. The prices of treatments/surgery are not quite on par with Costa Rica but it was a very positive experience.
I will be returning for dental work soon.
My sister's boobs came back too, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Very best wishes, Lou
I would highly recommend Dr Sanguan Kunaporn, he did a great job for me.
Also with the post surgery scarring, I would recommend using silicone sheets over the scars from 3 weeks post-op to stop keloid scars. I'm planning on using it for 2 months.
Concerning big boob return: It just happens sometimes. Mine has been slow, over time. I was a 34 FF when I had the operation, I went to a 34D. It has been 9 years, and today I am 36DDD. A bit of it is weight gain, which went straight to my chest.
