This site has been very helpful. I came across this site when i was searching about having BA in Thai about few weeks ago. It's been my dream to have a fuller and nice boobies until mid of last year when my husband finally agreed to let me get BA. Currently im living in Toronto, Canada. To have a BA here is about CAD 9,000 - 10,000 which is too much for me. So i began to do some research.
After reading some posting and also googling, I wrote to several surgeons and so far i got 4 surgeons who had replied to me.
1. Dr Pichet
2. Dr Pat (Tokai Clinic)
3. Dr Veerawat
4. Dr Chartchai
In term of price, Dr Pat quoted me BHT 90,000 which i think the lowest among the 3 then Dr Pichet quoted me USD 2,600 and Dr Veerawat quoted me BHT 160,000 for tear drop implants after seeing picture of my breast. Dr Chartchai is away but the hospital replied my email and quoted me BHT 160,000.
After seeing many of testimony and stories in this site, i found Dr Veerawat is the one who gets lots of good reviews. I dont see any bad review about him. Im thinking of choosing him just have concern with the choice of implants that he suggested me with which is tear drop. Im still waiting for his reply of my question if i would like to get the round implants instead of tear drop.
I will attached pictures of breast. Feel free to give me any suggestions or comments.. Im thinking of getting them done in February.. hopefully i will find the right surgeon with the right price :)

I want to update my journey of having new boobs.. so right now im still searching for the right surgeon for me. After reading many reviews and stories from this site, im thinking of having the surgery locally instead of travelling overseas. I know the price of having surgery in thailand is so tempting also to have vacation after the surgery that you can just relax is so nice, but after thinking of the risk, the hassle, the jetlag then to have surgery just nearby i think is the best option.
So.. i have contacted some great surgeons here in Toronto, but the earlier appointment for first consultation i can get is with dr. Lawrence Tong from Yorkville Institute of Plastic Surgery which is this coming Monday, Jan 25. I have to pay cad $150 + HST (so in here we have to pay 13% HST) for the consultation that could be paid towards any of his procedure. (either the surgery or any procedure he has incase im not going to have surgery with him). The price he quoted for BA starts from $ 6,550 - $ 7,800
I was so happy to get a very quick response from him. I can't wait to meet him. So far i read good review about him. So.. i will update again what will happen next.

I read one of the journey of somebody that lives in Toronto and having surgery here. After calculating the cost of surgery, accomodation, etc i realized that having surgery outside of the country with the surgeon that i want is not cheaper except if i go with other surgeon that offered cheaper fee. So i started to look for a local surgeon here. I admired the website of dr Martin Jugenburg which have the most reviews. If you are interested in having BA you should read his website. It's so detail and very educational. So my final two surgeons was Dr. Martin and Dr. Tong.
I emailed them for quotation and also schedule for first consultation. Dr. Tong schedule is available earlier than dr. Martin so i decided to get a consultation with dr. Tong.

So yesterday was my appointment with dr. Tong. I was a bit nervous and excited. He was a nice and friendly doctor. He explained everything about BA , measured my breasts and then he asked me how do i want my breast to look after surgery. I forgot to save the pictures that i like from the website so i asked him to show me pictures of the surgery he has done in the past. then i showed him the one that i like. he also asked me what size do i want it to become. He asked me to try implant size 275cc and 310cc. Basically i like both because they look nicer compare to my tiny boobs. Unfortunately he doesnt have the sample of size 295cc which according to him just 1 tbs difference. So now i just need to decide the type of implant and the size. Saline is the safest and more affordable but the texture is not as natural as silicone. I couldnt compare with silicone since dr. Tong doesnt have the sample of saline. But he said he could order than i can come again and see how it looks like. When i met dr. Tong i also told him that im interested to have nipple reduction which will cost another additional $3,500. Any comments or suggestions?

Sorry it's been a while i didnt write about my journey of getting BA.
After seeing dr Tong I came accross one review from this site about another doctor which was dr. Walter Peters. I went to check his website and was quite impressed with all his achievement (to see more about him you can open this link http://www.drpeters.ca/about.php ) . I was so excited and emailed him right away after i read his site. He replied to my email the next morning.
I got appointment 5 days later which was February 5. Unlike other surgeons i met, he only offer 1 type of implants which is cohesive gel which is the best implants among all type of other implants (you can read the difference of implants in this link http://www.drpeters.ca/procedures_breast_augmentation.php ) The price of procedure with cohesive gel that he offer is way cheaper compare to other surgeons i have met by the way. It's $ 6,800 + tax.
He took picture of my breasts, did measurement, and explain about procedure that i will have if im going to proceed with the surgery. He told me that i would get Cohasive Gel Implants, Subglandular (implants will be placed on top of the muscle, behind the breast tissue) ; Inframammary – Incision will be made in the fold under the breast.
I asked him what date available for me to have the surgery. He told me either March 3 or 10 the earliest. So i was booked for March 3rd.

So a few days before my surgery i was getting nervous if the size i choose it's gonna be to big on me. Then i emailed him about my worry. He replied to me and comforted me that everything would be fine and the size we have chosen were perfect and no need to be worry. And finally the long awaited day had come. I was asked to come at 12.30 pm but there was delayed. So i finally get into the operating room at 4.30 pm. Unlike other surgeon, Dr. Peter prefer to use Twilight Sedation Anaesthesia (instead of totally asleep, patient will only be very relaxed and sedated, the reason is because there is less nausea and less bleeding)
By the way i was asked to not eat or drink after midnight a day before surgery. So i got dizzy around 3 pm on wards. The surgery took about 2 hours. I woke up maybe 2 or 3 times during the surgery but fell asleep again. i could feel a bit pain when they did the stiches or laser im not sure what it was.
After everything was done i was put in the recovery room and stay there for 2 hours. i was asleep for the 2 hours i was there and it just felt like seconds. I met my husband when the nurse put me in the recovery room and fell asleep. Poor hubby he has to wait for 2 hours until i was awake and ready to go home.
As soon as i was inside the car i fell asleep again and woke up when i was arrived home at 9.30 pm. I went to bed right away and fell asleep till 5 am.

I woke up at 5am because i need to pee. They gave me lots of liquid thru infusion on the surgery. At 6 am i woke up again but this time i felt dizzy and feel so hungry. I woke up my husband to help me go to the washroom. I was almost fainted. But i was feeling better after i had oatmeal for my breakfast.

From what i read from this site most of people got the uncomfortable feeling on the 24-48 hours after the surgery. For me the pain is still bareable. i just feel uncomfortable on my breast (because of the bandage and drain) if i have to stand and walk but if i just lay down on bed im ok.
If you want to read more about the drains and the benefit of it you can read in this link http://www.drpeters.ca/procedures_breast_augmentation.php
I didnt do much today just slept, ate, watched tv, slept again but mostly slept all day.

There is nothing much i did just stay at home doing nothing other than slept, ate and watched tv or movie. because of the bandage i still couldnt see the result of my surgery until monday when Dr. Peter will remove the bandage. I got antibiotics and pain killer. I feel more comfortable to hold my breast when i stand and walk just to lessen the pain i felt under my breast. cause there are incision and drain too. i just cant wait to have them removed.
