Felt it was time to have an upgrade and I had heard many positive stories about having it done in Thailand so I looked into it and my consultant was very helpful and made the whole process a breeze.
So I arrived on the 2nd Feb and had my consult and surgery on the 3rd. I felt my consult went really quickly..like 10 minutes and Dr NJ hardly made eye contact with me..he was in and out so naturally I had all these questions come up while I waited 3 hrs for my surgery. I asked the nurses if I could see Dr NJ before my surgery so I could ask these questions and also confirm he wasn't following the lines he drew on me as the line on my left from my collarbone to nipple was not straight like the one on the right. Time came to be wheeled into surgery and again I asked if I could see the doc and they said yes. As I'm laying on the table while they are setting up for surgery the anaesthesiologist came in and said you ready to go under...I said no I'm meant to be seeing the Doctor before hand as I have a few questions, he had a weird look on his face and walked out of the room and came back after 5 minutes saying he just spoke to Dr NJ on the phone and he is in his car on his way and either I get put under now or he will postpone the surgery!! Well I just burst into tears!! The anaesthesiologist manage to calm me down and tried to answer my queries the best he could and reassured me he was the best and I shouldn't worry so I agreed and went under.
Woke up after surgery in sooooo much pain. I vaguely remember him coming in to see me afterwards but I didn't see him for another 6 days after that as he came to remove my drains before I checked out of hospital.
Was so happy to get back to my hospital but I was still in a lot of pain for the remainder of my stay in Thailand.
Had my final consult the day before I flew back home to have my stitches removed. Arrived at my scheduled time with Dr NJ. After 30 minutes of waiting I asked the nurses how much longer until he arrives. They said they just spoke to him and he is on his way in. Another 40 minutes passed and the nurses told me to head into the room and get undressed. Well it wasn't Dr NJ who walked in but some young doc who had a look, says I'm fine and that the nurse will remove the stitches and left. The nurse removed my stitches and because around my nipples they where bleeding a bit I asked for steristripes so they could help keep my wounds from opening up...she said no I don't need them! I was over it all and just wanted to leave and go home!
Well within a few days I got a hematoma on my left breast and on my right one the wound opened up. I went and saw my doctor back home and he couldn't believe they didn't give me any steristripes.
After 3 months of visiting my doctors twice a week my wounds have healed...although I'm still having stitches stick out of my wounds on occasion things are a lot better then they were. But since they have settled I can noticeably see that my left nipple is approx 1-1.5cm lower then my right!
I have been contacting Destination Beauty since my return home and emailing them pictures as well as querying why Dr NJ signed off on my Medical Certificate when he wasn't even present for my final consult and I have had no responses...just keep getting the run around. It's like once they get their money they no longer want to deal with you!!!

Same thing happened to me with Doctor N, my nipples are different heights and sizes, it makes my breasts look so weird! He didn't remove my stitches either, the nurse and another surgeon did and I was never given steri strips either. The flight home was unbearable because breast wounds were chafing against the support bra because they weren't covered! I have had so many problems back home with spitting stitches and infection. I honestly thought I'd be fine because I was told that Doctor N was the best, but he really does not care. He has done that many surgeries that he is almost robotic in the way he works. He wants you in and out as quickly as possible, no questions asked. I am looking to have mine redone as soon as possible as I keep getting infections and my breasts are still sore 6 months out! Something's not right in there, God knows what he's done. Just need to get the money and I'll be going in for my second breast op here in Australia. I'm sorry for everything that's happened to you! Glad you're finally healed and well

Robotic is a pretty accurate description!
I'm sorry to hear about your experience and I too will be having mine redone here in Australia once I have the money which is hard as I spent $9000 on this procedure.
I will not be recomending him to anyone!!
My scars are healing but I'm constantly checking them for stitches popping out and the whole experience over their was horrible and will take a while to get over.
I'm sorry again and I hope you can get it all corrected and be happy as soon as possible :)

Thank you! Same to you! I hope your next op goes will and you are happy with your results :) I won't be recommending him to anyone either!

I am sorry to hear that and hope you will heal better.
I nearly chose Dr N but decided on Dr Chi bcos of the attn i get.
Irregardless of how much you spent, doctor you picked should also have contact with you.
My surgeon answered all my question via email and in person and even tell me things that i have forgotten to ask before surgery.
In fact my doctor till today still keep in contact with me to check on my 2weeks, 1mth,3mth and etc post op via email. I met my doctor before surgery twice for at least a gd 30min. After surgery, even when my doctor was truly busy he check on me.
Perhaps every surgeon is diff but i feel Dr N should really at least make time especially after you feel that your ba isnt going well.
Sending u hugs

Do you have before and after pics? My nipples are slightly uneven as well but before surgery, they were even worse! Its normal to have odd breasts. My Australian doctor is very happy with Dr NJ's work. Spitting stitches completely normal, even for surgery in Australia...

I do have pics but I'm not too comfortable putting them up. I actually never really noticed that they where uneven until Dr N said in my consult and said he would fix it. Now that's all I can see...it's like he has made it worse.
I haven't had any more stitches pop out put now I have 3 spots around my nipples where I know stitches still are that every few weeks go yellow and when I squeeze them a lot of yellow/white stuff comes out...it's like popping a massive white head :/
Also still had no reply from destination beauty from my phone calls or emails!!

I had similar experiences with Dr Narongdej. I would never recommend him to anyone. He really doesn't care, he's rude and he just does the job necessary to get the money and get you out of there. I really hope he comes undone one day.

There is a tv show called Dr. Death (based on true stories) This guy sounds as dodgy as that one on the show :( shocking infact bloody disgusting! <3 <3 You both deserve better.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It will be helpful to other members considering this surgery. I hope you get support from this community.
