WORTH IT$5,500
Well it has been a while since I have been on here. I have not seen my "before" pictures in such a long time. I was so suprised that my chest was so droppy before! I am so happy that I had this surgery done. I love how my chest looks, I love that my back does not ache and every time I go shopping and am no longer resigned to outfits that will hide a bra but I can wear anything now and it is totally awesome! I would do this again in a heartbeat. Here are some new pictures- although not the best but you can see that my scars have faded a lot.

Well, nothing much to report. Still on the mend and get little aches and pains a few times a day but the girls are looking awesome and I could not be happier. All of my little infections are cleared up and on the mend. I cannot wait to get out of these ugly bras! 1 month more to go in them!!!
In regards to my hernia surgery- that is all healing well but I still have a little "puffy tummy" that I did not have before. When I was last at the doctor (10 days ago) I was weighed and have not gained 1 ounce during this recovery time - so I know that I haven't put weight on- I guess I just need to be more patient with the swelling. It sucks though! Here are some new pictures.

You are so kind and generous to share your journey, highs and lows. I’ve been thinking about having a hernia fixed here but I’m wondering what that part of the operation cost you and if you’re still having swelling from it. That seems like a long time to still be swollen after supposed “less invasive” surgery.

Hi Silvergirl1960,
The surgery for the hernia was 100,000 baht - or around 3,000 USD.
Everything I have read says that the swelling could last up to 6 weeks :( I was hoping that all would be back to normal before then - but who knows? Perhaps it is taking me a little longer because I had all the surgeries done together? - but I can say that I am so happy to not have that hernia anymore!

Hi you look great. I have done some major research and was also looking at Dr pritchet and Dr nond and have decided to go with Dr nond. I would love to know how everything is still going.

Good news to report- wounds are almost all healed! Only one left that I have to put a bandaid on. That makes me very happy. My doctor has advised me to keep the tape on for 2 months. He says that this will make my scars stay flat. So far they are all very flat with no raised parts. The "pleating" is slowly going away as my doctor said it would. For some reason it looks worse in the pictures then it does in reality. I am very happy with my size. All of my old bras fit perfectly - so it seems I have stayed the same size as before the lift at 32DD - which is what I wanted. Now they are just round and full instead of saggy and baggy!
I have been very happy with my Doctor. He has seen me every week and the after care has been great.
My pictures and not very great- I am poor at taking selfies.

You look like you are healing well! Your overall results look great + most importantly you seem happy with it! Congrats. What kind of tape is it that they suggested for minimizing scaring?

Hi breastliftpanama,
I just have the regular white tape that they put on after they remove the stitches. When I asked my doctor about the silicon scar treatment sheets- he says they have not been proven to be effective and does not believe in the cost benefit. He also does not believe in massage for capsuler contracture .

Hello! I'm seriously considering Dr Nond for the same procedure as you. Can you tell me more about St Louis hospital? Were you in a private room? How did you find the nurses? Would you recommend it for me (an Australian, very familiar with Thailand but with no Thai language skills and potentially travelling solo) or should I fork out the extra expense? Bumrungrad has photos but I can't find any of St. Louis to get a feel for it! Thank you!
PS your boobs are what have really pushed me towards Dr Nond. They look AWESOME!!

Hi Jana,
Thank you for the compliment :) I am living here in Bangkok and have been to Bumrungrad several times- I take my 2 little daughters to their pediatrician there. I also had all of my consultations and after care at Dr. Nonds office there. As for St. Louis- everyone was super nice - and although a lot of the nurses did not speak much english we were able to understand each other just fine. The hospital is not as flashy as Bumrungrad but it is not run down or anything either. It was very clean - utilitarian and well run. I had my own private room with a/c, t.v etc and free wifi (just ask for the password) If I had to do it all again I would not hesitate to book again at St. Louis- especially since the savings is so much. And as for Dr. Nond, he is a really nice man and when the time comes (someday in the future) I will have him do my facelift. I highly recommend him.

Excellent - thank you so much! I probably would go St Louis considering the savings. Very pleased to hear that about Dr Nond too. He's my first preference at the moment but I haven't heard back from him yet.

Email is at times slow- the very best way to reach him is to call him on the phone. I have found that to be very true of most people and businesses here in Thailand. They hardly ever get to email in a timely manner but a call on the phone works wonders!
