No Longer Flat As a Pancake! :P - Thailand

Hi girls! You can just call me B, I'm 23yrs old,...

Hi girls! You can just call me B, I'm 23yrs old, 170cm tall, 50kg and live in Australia!
I am currently at 3 months post op, and are absolutely loving my new assets!!! My breast surgery stats are below:

Went from not being able to fill an A cup (probably AA cup) to filling a small C cup
320CC
High Profile
Silicone
Tear-drop
Dual-plane (both under & over the muscle)
Incision under the breast fold
$5,000

In Australia, the cost of breast augmentation ranges between $10,000-$12,000. For me, having recently graduated from university, I wasn't able to even consider being able to save up that much money, and I had no intentions on getting a loan for them. So, after meeting a girl at my new job who told me about a company in Austalia that organises a group of girls to go over to Thailand and get surgery over there together (and only $3,500-$5,000)!!

After paying the management fee, buying flights to Thailand and booking accommodation in Phuket, it was all ready to go! All I had to do was get the courage to jump on the plane and go through with the whole experience.

Looking back on it now, I can't believe I actually did it and went through with it! After three months, they had definitely dropped, softened and look more natural now. I can actually fill dresses now, show off cleavage, wear swimmers without being self-conscious that others are starring at a flat chest, and go around not wearing a bra and not caring!! It was definitely worth it in the end, and am recommending it to any of my flat friends who are wanting to change their lives as well =D

Great review?

I would be careful with going to Thailand - yes you can have results like this but I have seen some shocking BA's done in Thailand, and personally I just would not risk that, at the end of the day this is your vanity... I got my BA done in the US where BA ranges from 3k-6k & have much more qualified surgeons then anywhere in the world.

Yes sure you can get shocking results in the cheaper countries, like Thailand. Generally girls who don't do their research will pay with a botched BA. This is the case for ANY country in the world..and I've seen some shockers come out of the US too. My particular surgeon was one of the best in Phuket, and was internationally trained, just like yours would've been. So long as you're happy with your final outcome, that's all that matters. I'm almost 1yr post-op and will never look back..glad I risked it with Thailand and no regrets whatsoever!

Hey hun, Your boobs look fantastic! It sounds like exactly what I need to get done and I had no idea you could have tear drop implants high profile. I'm booked in for September and also have Dr Veerawat and so excited to meet him because of all the good things I've heard about him. This post gave me so much hope because I never knew you could have tear drop whilst also high profile. They look amazing!!

Hi Megan, thanks so much for your support. You are in the best safest hands of Dr V!! Best reviews and he is all about his patients walking out with a natural look! Are you going through Somnio?? Send me a private msg if you are :) x

Hiya again b~ My PS did not suggest I do any sort of massage.  However, I was required to lay directly on them for 15 minutes each night before going to bed for the first 4 weeks.  I never had issues with one being harder than the other. But from what I hear that's pretty common.  I REALLY hope more sensation comes back, miss having ultra sensitive nipples.... This numb feeling causes angst but I'd still do it again in a heartbeat! PS I know what you mean about all boob no bra now hahaha....HOORAY FOR BIGGER BOOBIES!!! ;))

Hey I was wondering where you got them done and who your doctor was , they look great!!
BBoobies 21 Aug 2012
Hiya! My surgeon was Dr Veerawat from Phuket International Hospital. I went through the company called Somnio (www.somnio.com.au) who arranged everything for me so I didn't have to stress about going overseas for surgery! :D
Are you in Australia and still in researching phase pre-op? What are your plans for moving forward? :)

I heard about somnio too! Good things. I am considering it as it is so much cheaper. I just want to make sure I am not compromising anything for it being cheaper. Thanks for the review!!
BBoobies 16 Apr 2013
Trust me..you will be more satisfied with the results going through a trusted company to travel overseas for your procedure, rather than the treatment you would get here. Aussie surgeons are more concerned about your money, whereas Thai surgeons (who are internationally trained) actually care and worry about the service provide. My surgeon was the very best and most demanded in Phuket so knew I could rely on him doing a great job. Let me know if you would like anymore info about Somnio :) B.

Hi again b~ I am currently 6 months post op. Mine are truly great!  I love these new breasts, they have a very natural appearance like yours. Honestly, most people do not even realize I have implants when dressing conservatively. But when showing them off at the beach it's fun to turn heads...Lol (Only complaint I have is some loss of nipple sensation. Pre-op mine were VERY, very sensitive. Now they have a numb-ish feeling. hopingthat will change &  they will eventually regain more sensation. Other than that I am thrilled & hope you luv yours too. ;))
BBoobies 21 Aug 2012
Oh wow you sound exactly like me Kooberry!! I haven't even told a single person at my work that I got them done, and because I wore such massively padded bras pre-op, when I came back to work with new boobs, they just looked like they were before, just slightly bigger..but now instead of 'all bra', no boob', I'm now 'all boob, no bra!' haha!! ;P

And I'm wondering when I'm going to get full sensation back too! I'm still numb from nipple down :( maybe if I keep massaging them they will get their feeling back? :P hehe Do you still have to massage yours 6months post-op? I think I will keep it up, just incase!

Q: did you have one boob that was harder than the other at the start? I was super paranoid about my rightie because it felt much harder than my left one but I assumed it was because my rightie had less breast tissue to work with..? :/ I'm not certain?

I just can't wait ti summer comes round so I can hit the beach in my new bikinis & new boobays!! ;P

Hi B, Thank you for sharing your experience. Did the doctor tell you about the replacement period of the prosthesis? I went to Bangkok for a consultation last month, my doctor tell me the prosthesis need to be replaced every ten years. I supposed it's one-time implanted. But in Korea, they will tell you it's one-time implanted. I am quite confusing now... Have you heard about this?
BBoobies 20 Aug 2012
Hi Cheesecake, thanks for your response. No matter which country you receive your BA in, the lifetime of implants are never forever - the general lifetime is 10-15yrs, depending how well you take care of them. I know that I will be having children within the next 10yrs so I will most likely be replacing them before 'the due date'. Hope this helps alleviate any confusion? Keep up the research!
Martin Jugenburg, MD 25 Aug 2012
The recommendation to have implants replaced every 10 years came from a study that was done many years ago and was done on an older generation of breast implants. The new generation of breast implants no longer require replacement every 10 years. Now you leave them in until something happens. If everything is good, you don't need to have them replaced preventatively.

Hello b~ you look great! Wow, very natural results.Your doctor did an excellent job.... Congrats & thanks for sharing your story :)
BBoobies 20 Aug 2012
Hi Kooberry thanks so much for the kind words - I'm so glad I was able to get the tear drop implants to achieve that natural look :)
How long have you been post-op and how are yours going now? No complications at all?
