Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Couldn't be more happier
Sorry I didn't keep updating while in Bangkok but there was too much to see and do. I arrived home last night and even though everything went really well while away there is nothing better than coming home.
I had a driver meet me at the airport just like planned through Destination Beauty. I'm so glad Richard (my driver) was there as it was a bit over whelming travelling on my own and going to a different country when I'm not well travelled at all.
Somerset was lovely. This is where most people stay when going through Destination Beauty and I really suggest people who are coming on there own for surgery to stay there as they have their office in the same building so always on hand plus you get to meet other people who are over there for the same reason.
While over in Bangkok for my BA I also decided to see the dentist. They organised all this for me and made sure I got to all 4 appointments to have my partial plate.
My BA consult was scheduled for 10am the following day, with surgery set for 1.30pm. You have all the tests eg x-rays and bloods done before you actually see the Doctor. Dr Angkana was really lovely and I felt very comfortable with her. I didn't find out much regarding her as a surgeon as I couldn't find many reviews so I was slightly nervous.
She suggested I have the implants put over the muscle due to my ptosis and that drains would be fitted. I never mentioned what size I was thinking of (thanks to the rice test) but she was on the same wave length as me. I had to squeeze the implants under a really tight white tshirt that they made me put on and I got a bit of a fright. 355cc on right and 385cc on left looked huge! This was the first time I doubted what I was doing as they seemed so big. I knew my husband would love me to be that size, but I knew I wouldn't be comfortable going that big. I tried on 355cc and 325cc and to me, they looked the same. This is where I put all the trust into my surgeon. She did more measuring and said the bigger size would fill my breast better as well as the width was more suitable. I decided to go with her decision (355 and 385cc), even though I was worried they would be too big.
After I was settled into my hospital room at piyavate hospital (which was really lovely) I didn't have to wait long before I was wheeled away for surgery. The only thing I found strange with the whole procedure was that I never got to meet the anaesthetist before surgery. At the end of the day, everything went really smoothly. All the nurses were lovely and made me very comfortable while I was lying on the operating table waiting for everything to start.
I woke up in not too much pain and was only really sore for the first 2 nights that I stayed in hospital. The drains came out the following afternoon which I was happy about as they were just a pain, especially when I needed to go to the toilet. I didn't get to see my new boobies until I got back to the apartment as I was wrapped in bandage. I have to say, I was so relieved that they didn't look as big as what they did when I tried on the implants at my consultation.
The following morning after being discharged from hospital, I was out sight seeing and shopping. I couldn't believe I was catching trains and tuk tuks pretty much after surgery. Wearing my supportive bra which I had already bought before coming over was a godsend.
I had the best time while in Bangkok, and having the surgery didn't stop me doing anything while over there. The only downside was the dentist appointments, as they were scheduled normally at 1pm so I was always picked up at noon, and that stopped me having full days of doing things. Looking back, maybe this was a good idea, as It made me not overdo it. I met some lovely ladies too :)
My follow up appointment with Dr Angkana the day I was scheduled to fly out went really well. I thought I was having my stiches out (my wound's were covered with water proof dressing the whole time) but in fact I only had internal stitches, and she was really pleased how well they looked.
I had no bruising at all from surgery. She taught me how to massage my new breasts and suggested I do that 20 minutes twice a day and to do that for the first couple of years. Actually, if I do it everyday for the lifetime of my implants, that would be even better apparently.
I'm still a bit bloated but that could be because of the huge buffet breakfasts I had over there every day lol. I put on 2Kg's but that includes the weight of the twins :) That's what I keep telling myself lol
I would highly recommend going through Destination Beauty, especially if you are doing it alone. You can even go as part of a tour but I needed the cheaper option due to our finances.
I'm so happy with my results. I feel perky and full and hope they don't go down in size as now, I kind of wish I had gone maybe one size bigger, only because with clothes on, they look exactly the same as when I used to wear my full on padded bra. Naked though, I think they are just the right size for me.
I can't believe how much more happier I feel, and especially when I wear my new partial dentures I can smile again properly! Having issue uploading photos but will keep trying.

5 more sleeps
I had my first 'freak out' last night. Not so much regarding the surgery, but more how things will be at home. My husband says that I have nothing to worry about, and I know he is right, but I can't help it. I will be missing my sons first Football tournament of the year which I'm gutted about but I know that there will be plenty more. With me going on my own I really shouldn't be worried about how things are going at home as I have an amazing husband and I know he will take care of everything. I just need to concentrate on healing (and shopping). The kids gave me their wish list tonight lol so once I feel up to it I will be doing lots of shopping. I've started packing but might need to take some things out or I won't be able to bring all the presents back. I always pack like I will be away from home for 2 months!
I have decided to add a photo as reading every body's reviews and seeing their photos has really helped me prepare for my surgery. As you can see I have deflated boobies and can't wait to have them filled again. Will update once I have arrived in Thailand :)
