Breast lift surgery will improve the position of the bust line it does not improve the size of the breasts. Often breast lift surgery is done at the same time as a breast augmentation surgery. The implants will fill the upper pole of the breasts and in most cases clients will get better results from having both procedures, compared to the results they may have got from having breast lift surgery alone.

Breast lift surgery would benefit women who have a low bust line and women who have experienced changes in their breast through pregnancy, breast feeding, weight-loss or aging.

Having breast augmentation alone will not usually improve the bust line and in some cases it may make it worse. If you are considering having breast augmentation surgery but you’re unsure if you would also benefit from a breast lift, you may be what surgeons call a borderline case. Our breast surgery specialist surgeons here in Phuket are actually sometimes able to improve the bust line for these borderline cases via breast augmentation only. This is great news for those clients who are borderline cases as they are able to improve the size and bust line in one procedure, reducing costs and scaring.

Depending on the severity of your case, there are three types of incisions that can be used for breast lift surgery. If your case is not very severe then the surgeon will make an incision around your nipple, this is sometimes called a ‘doughnut’ incision. The next level of severity would require an incision around your nipple and also a vertical incision from the bottom of the nipple to the breast fold, this is sometimes called a ‘lollipop’ incision. Lastly, for severe cases an ‘anchor’ incision would be used, this is the same as the lollipop incision but an incision is also made along the breast fold.

There are risks involved when undergoing breast lift surgery. Because an incision is made around the nipple there is a chance that your ability to breastfeed will be affected. This is something you need to consider if you are planning a pregnancy and would like to be able to breastfeed.

When having a breast lift you will be required to stay in the hospital for 2 nights as opposed to 1 night for breast augmentation surgery. The recovery time is slightly longer when having breast lift surgery; we recommend that you stay in Phuket for a total of 14 days. When having breast augmentation alone you are required to stay in Phuket for 7 days.

Our surgeons will provide you with a free online consultation to advise you on which procedures would give you your desired outcome. We provide this service free of charge and you are under no obligation to book with us for using this service. You will also have a face to face consultation with your surgeon to discuss further if you would benefit from a breast lift procedure. All the finer details of your surgery such as incisions would be decided in your face to face consultation.

Do you find that even with diet and exercise you cannot achieve the flat stomach you have always wanted? Tummy tuck surgery removes excess skin and fat from the tummy area to create a flatter, younger looking and more taut appearance.

Many people choose to combine tummy tuck surgery with liposuction to help them to achieve that new slimmer waist. You can decide if this is an option for you during your consultation with your surgeon. There are two different ways of doing a tummy tuck and again the best method for you will be decided during your consultation.

Who is tummy tuck surgery for?

Tummy tuck surgery is for anyone who has loose skin around the stomach area that they cannot shift through diet or exercise. Quite often people who have lost a lot of weight will have loose folds of skin around the stomach area and this operation is ideal for them. It is also for used for women who have stretched skin and muscles after being pregnant and who have no more plans to have children. Tummy tuck surgery can restore confidence to people who feel self-conscious due to a flabby overhanging stomach.

What can I expect?

You can expect a slimmer waist with a flatter and tauter appearance. You can expect excellent slimming and shaping results enabling greater self-confidence. The results are usually long lasting as long as you follow a balanced diet and exercise. If you do put on weight following the surgery fatty bulges can appear.

What does the surgery involve?

Tummy tuck surgery is done under general anaesthetic and requires an overnight stay in hospital and usually lasts for 1-2 hours.

In most cases an incision is made from hip to hip just around your bikini line. An incision is also made to free your tummy button. Loose skin and fatty tissue are removed, any damaged abdominal muscles are repaired and a new hole is cut for your tummy button. The incisions are then sutured closed.

Many people choose to have liposuction at the same time as their tummy tuck to create an even smaller waist.

Take a little walk

Immediately after tummy tuck surgery you will be very tired however, your surgeon will ask you to take a walk before leaving the hospital. This will get your body moving after being horizontal for so long. It will prevent deep vein thrombosis and help to get your bowels moving. Which, can be a problem after surgery and whilst taking pain relief medication.

Follow your surgeons post tummy tuck surgery instructions

Rest up it’s not worth hindering your recovery, risking infection, causing bleeding or delaying your healing.

Advice for a quicker and successful recovery after Tummy Tuck surgery

Look after yourself

It’s always wise to follow a healthy lifestyle; if you eat right you will feel right. Before undergoing any type of surgery you should be in good physical health. Start to make healthier lifestyle changes before surgery. It is advised to not smoke or drink alcohol for at least two weeks prior to your tummy tuck surgery. To insure you are covered by our surgical guarantee you must refrain from smoking for 4 weeks prior to and 4 weeks after your surgery. You must stop drinking alcohol for 1 week prior to your surgery and for the complete post-operative period until you have finished your course of antibiotics.

Post tummy tuck surgery compression/support garments

You must wear your compression or support garments when instructed to do so by your surgeon. For tummy tuck surgery you may be advised to wear it for a couple of months so making sure you buy the correct size and a comfortable fit are important. Lotus Medical has sought out good quality garments, we can advise you on where to buy these from. Compression garments aid recovery after having tummy tuck surgery and keep swelling to a minimum; you will get better results from wearing your garment as advised by your surgeon.

1. Research

It’s important to gather as much knowledge about the breast lift and implants procedure as possible. The decision to have breast lift and implants shouldn’t be made lightly. Cosmetic surgery is a permanent change to your body and life. Be aware of the risks and research what the recovery process is likely to involve.

2. Your expectations

Look for before and after images of other women who have had breast lift and implants that relate as closely to you as possible; this will help you to see what is realistically achievable for your body. Our surgeons can do incredible things however, they cannot work miracles. It’s important to have realistic expectations to avoid disappointment.

3. Timing

When you have your surgery is very important, you will need to have sufficient recovery time after having breast lift and implants to ensure you get the desired results and to keep you in good health. Make sure you’re planning your surgery when you are able to take enough time off from work or other commitments. If you are struggling to find a suitable time to have surgery, it’s far better to postpone your surgery than to compromise on the results.

4. Finance

It’s important to understand that some surgeries such as breast lift and implants are not lifelong procedures. It is likely that further down the line you will need or want a second surgery. It is also important to understand the risks involved with cosmetic surgery. Revision surgery after your initial operation is extremely rare but still a possibility. You need to be sure that cosmetic surgery is realistic in terms of your financial circumstances. We do however offer a surgical guarantee which covers any instance that is the fault of the surgeon or hospital.

If you are current in the middle of exploring all about breast augmentation, you will have certainly come across the expression boob greed.

We read lots bout the boob greed trends, this is where post operation breast augmentation patients wish they had decided to have a bigger bust. Is it a situation that most women finds themselves in?

Boob Greed Survey

A popular cosmetic surgery forum, Plastic Surgery Forum Australia, asked their community if they could choose again would they choose a bigger implant, smaller implant or the same size. The results were surprising.

52.63%said they would choose a bigger breast implant
5.265%said they would have chosen a smaller breast implant
42.11%said they would have chosen the same breast implant

It is obvious that the boob greed fiend is maybe real and if you have been contemplating the variation between the two sizes it would be sensible to keep this in mind. Nevertheless, we are all unique and you should possibly ask yourself, would you rather be bigger than anticipated or smaller.

There has always been a long-standing controversy about people deciding to have Breast Implants in Thailand. A lot of the media from overseas have chosen to paint a bad picture in regards to having Breast Implants in Thailand. Why do they do this? Well the simple answer is that the cosmetic surgeons at home do not want to loose business to their rival cosmetic surgeons in Thailand.

For many years women have ignored what has been shown on their local media and after doing their own research or speaking to friends they have decided that having breast implants in Thailand is actually a good option. The highly experienced surgeons here, coupled with the state of the art hospitals and cost effective surgery mean that Thailand has hundreds and thousands of women that have decided to come to Thailand for breast surgery.

Breast Implants in Thailand vs Australia

Recently in Australia one of the companies that offers breast implant surgery decided to lower it’s costs to be more in line with those in Thailand. In order to cost cut they used surgeons with little experience and often women were asked to leave on the same day as their breast surgery after having a general aneasthetic. This is something that just never happens in Thailand and which the surgeons here do not deem to be safe or acceptable. This Institute also made headline news in Australia after three of its patients were hospitalize due to serious illness after surgery, two of them because of errors with aneasthetic.

So something that therefore must be considered by anyone thinking about having breast implant surgery is…………… If deciding to have breast implant surgery and looking for a cost effective option, will you have a better experience if having breast implants in Thailand or is having surgery at home a better option?

‘Most of us nip and tuck daily by wearing Spanx and padded bras, this is just a permanent way to do what we go through every day,’ she said.

The Australian mum went on a medical tour with a Medical Tourism company established for many years.

Ms Briese paid around $9000 AUD for her ‘mummy makeover’ bundle which included breast implants and a tummy tuck in addition to fourteen nights in Thailand.

Her nose surgery cost just over $3600, bringing the total cost for her surgeries to around $12,600.

She is just one of the 15,000 Australians who fly to Thailand each year in search of inexpensive plastic surgery at the hands of expert and extremely well qualified surgeons, frequently a third of the cost of the same procedures in Australia.

Thailand, which once tolerated companies with risky back-street surgeons and precarious practices, is today the center of a thriving multi billion dollar medical tourism industry, which drew in a astounding $4.31 billion in revenue in 2013.

Why would anyone consider having a tummy tuck Thailand!?!

Most patients who are interested in having a tummy tuck look for cosmetic surgeons in heir own country or region.

Face Lift Thailand

Through the advancement and modernization of today’s technology, several ways have been discovered in order to fight signs of aging and maintain a younger looking face and skin. One of the best ways is the Face lift.

What is Facelift? It is a cosmetic procedure, which involves the repositioning of the skin and tightening of the tissue and muscle of the face and neck in order to prevent the signs of aging produced by gravity and reduction in collagen. This is one of the growing trends in surgery in Thailand resulting in several medical centers which offer the this type of surgery.

Although the Face Lift Thailand could not stop your aging process, it can turn your face to look and appear younger than you actual age. The main aim of the surgery is to counter the looseness and sagging in your skin and muscle tissue that makes your face appear younger.

If having Facelift Surgery, surgery alone will not remove all of the wrinkles around the eyes and mouth; so therefore, if you want to achieve the most desirable results, it is better to avail of the additional procedures offered by your trusted medical care center in Thailand. Procedures might include the following: liposuction, eyelid surgery, neck lift, forehead lift, etc.

Before having a Face Lift surgery in Thailandthe surgeon will first assess the patients individually so that they can plan what type of facelift a particular patient needs.

Here are the techniques and approaches to Face Lift surgery that surgeon may apply to their patient:

Short scar facelift
Standard facelift
Foundation facelift or the deep-plane facelift

When planning to undergo Face Lift Thailand, you need to bear in mind some factors to consider for safe and successful results. Along with the assessment that the surgeon does they will also need to identify the factors that affect which technique of facelift is best to use.

They will have to consider the patients age, degree of skin laxity, intensity of jowls, integrity of eye muscles, amount of the sub-mandibular/sub-mental fat or the bulges in the face, fat deposits, and degree of platys-ma bands on the animation and the herniated fat found in lower eyelids.

Patients should try to find the best medical center for Face Lift Thailand , providing the best outcome and service for the international patient having cosmetic surgery. It is important that you choose the center who will make you feel reassured, safe and informed about the proceedings of the Face-lift surgery in Thailand.

As cosmetic surgery continues to gain a wide range of prominence and popularity among people in several countries, its operational cost is not spared in anyway. In recent years, there has been a great migration from several countries in Europe and America to the East for a cheaper liposuction surgery.

Surgery as a life-changing process has now been taken very seriously by a lot of people from different countries. The growth of quality cosmetic surgeons in Thailand is one major reason why the country has rapidly become a remarkable medical tourism nation. This has led to the establishment of several reputable companies and formidable clinics that specialize in carrying out liposuction surgery.

The evolution of liposuction over the last 15 years has been drastically improved by tending to be a very safe and effective surgical process which majorly deals with the removal of excess fat deposits from designated body areas so as to improve body physique, contour and overall body appearance.

Liposuction surgery in Thailand

In Thailand, clients are allowed to make their own choices on the type of liposuction procedure they want. The cannula which is a small stainless steel suctioning instrument is often used to get the job done.

Performing liposuction surgery in Thailand is extremely safe and healthy.

Before the operation a sterile liquid is infused in to the body, this reduces the likelihood of trauma and bruising.

Then the process of excess fat removal is then started by inserting the cannula through tiny inconspicuous incisions into areas that contain excess fat. Fat is extracted either through the use of a canula or a suction pump thereby resulting into an improved and smoother body contour as an aftereffect.

Liposuction is always carried out under a general aneasthetic and patients therefore remain in hospital for one or two nights after their surgery. During recovery a compression garment must be worn to reduce the buildup of fluid at the site of surgery. There is often a small amount of bruising and swelling. The surgeons encourage patients to engage in a short walk of about 1 – 2 miles in the days after surgery. They also ask that patients are here for a full seven days after surgery for proper follow up.

Due to the experience of the surgeons traveling to Thailand to undergo a liposuction surgery can produce better results with less bruising.
