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.

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.

When children think of the beach they think of freedom and fun. Adults, on the other hand have a different perspective. For most of us, there’s the dreaded search for the perfect swimming costume and summery clothing that will show off our best features whilst hiding our worst. Then there’s the actual moment of arriving at the beach and having to remove some of the summery clothing in order to blend in with other sun revelers. Even shorts and tank tops can present a problem, since they seem to be designed to accentuate every single bulge.  This is where plastic surgeons in Thailand can help.

But all is not lost and the battle of bulge finally has a decent opponent…

Lotus Medical’s team of plastic surgeons in Thailand offer a variety of body contouring procedures which in conjunction with a continuing commitment to a healthy lifestyle, that includes good nutrition and adequate exercise, can mean that you are finally able to enjoy the surf and sand.

Liposuction is a good example, for instance. This is a simple and non-evasive procedure and you can usually expect to resume regular daily activities within a week, returning to your normal exercise regimen in three weeks, when 80-85% percent of the swelling has decreased. By the fourth month, all swelling should be gone. Since liposuction uses only small incisions (just large enough to insert the fat-removing tube called a cannula) the scarring is minimal. Liposuction can remove fat reservoirs in hard-to-lose places such as the abdomen, hips and thighs. The firmer and more elastic your skin, the better your liposuction results will be.

Hanging skin will not reshape itself to your new contours after liposuction, so in these cases that skin might have to be surgically removed. A tummy tuck (the nickname for abdominoplasty) removes fat and skin from the middle and lower abdomen. It also tightens the abdominal wall muscles. The results can be dramatic, especially in the case of a severely protruding abdomen. Scarring will occur, but due to the location of the surgery, bathing suits and underwear cover the scars. A tummy tuck is best suited for women and men who are in decent overall shape, but are frustrated by fat deposits or lose skin that just won’t decrease after regular diet or exercise.

Now, thanks to companies like Lotus Medical International and the best plastic surgeons in Thailand, we can offer these life changing procedures affordably and you get a much deserved holiday at the same time. Not only can more people now afford to look better, they can’t afford not to, especially in today’s society where the focus is on looking and acting young.

Lotus Medical is proud to provide customized care to all our clients. We acknowledges that the initial stages when choosing or not to proceed with surgery are daunting but we are there to take you through the whole experience step by step, from the first enquiry to after the surgery when you are back at home. For more information on a customized body contouring procedure or any other aesthetic procedure please contact [email protected] and one of our consultants would be happy to assist you.

I have encountered a lot of girls who have had breast surgery in Thailand.  Of course all of them were so happy and excited  after their surgery. I will definitely feel the same way once I have mine! I just can’t wait to finally say goodbye to push up bras! After that, I can wear my bikini, low cut shirts, and tube dresses with confidence.  After all the struggling of pulling the muscle up, for me to have a nice, “Full” front once and for all, free from insecurities.  That will be me once I get my breast surgery in Thailand.

It’s so wonderful to see women having confidence after the surgery, and sometimes I have to stop them from being too excited. I am not being a buzz kill, but I am just a responsible Medical Host; trying to avoid any inconveniences that may occur if our client will not follow the post operative care advised by their surgeon and by Lotus Medical.

Ladies who were really prepared for the surgery and had the proper expectations were usually the ones recovering faster. So quickly that the next day they will ask me if they can have elephant trekking, go to the beach or have cocktails, or even go shopping and I am shaking my head, “No”.

Phuket, Thailand is undeniably a place that is so hard to resist. Beaches, elephants, mountains, paradise resorts, malls, night markets, and a crazy night life parties. These are really irresistible and sometimes patients need to be reminded on what the purpose of their travel was. We still would want you to enjoy your stay in Phuket, with proper planning for your health & safety in mind, remember that this place will always be here, and you can come back anytime you want for something… an adventure or party vacation. However, your new boobies will go somewhere called the, “The Operating Room” again, if you don’t comply with the Do’s and Don’ts during the first days after surgery.

I will only point out some important details and I will try not to sound like a professor explaining an algebraic equation!

1. Follow the prescribed medications.  Anti-inflammatory is a MUST. Anti-biotic medication is also a MUST. Pain reliever should be AS NEEDED! The strong pain reliever will make you feel a bit sick and moody.
2. Avoid lifting, pushing and pulling.   Let your body heal from the incision/stitches. Let your chest muscles adjust with the new implant and new weight. Avoid excessive use of your arms and chest area, as it may cause irritation, swelling and bleeding. Ouch!
3. Wear a support surgical garment around the clock; always. I know, wearing the granny looking bra is not appealing but, a saggy breast (because you failed to support your chest muscles, because, “Oh, I don’t like wearing that bra, it’s uncomfortable!”)  is also not appealing.
4. Do Not Drink Alcohol. Alcohol may diminish the effect of antibiotics in your body and that’s a FACT. Also, Alcohol can make, if not all, most women, the best cheerleader for the night. Now you’re smiling. I know that “I’ll only drink cocktails” will definitely lead to more mojitos, vodka, long island iced teas, and next thing you know you’re dancing unstoppably then you’ll drink more, because the party ain’t over, which will lead you to altered state of mind, altered balance and then KABOOM!  You fell off and forgot you just had a surgery.. “OUCH! OMG there’s a blood! Bring me to the ER!” That has happened.
5. Sleep on your back. For those who got used to sleeping on their stomach: THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY and not forever. You should sleep on your back with your head elevated for the first 1-2 weeks after surgery to reduce your discomfort and swelling. After 3-4 weeks, you may try to sleep on your side as comfort allows. Progress sleeping on your abdomen as comfort allows as well. Be sure to discuss this with your surgeon as they may proceed at a different pace. Always remember that the first few weeks are very important to sleep on your back- to prevent deformation of the implant and the drooping appearance of the breast
6. Avoid Sun bathing. I know that Phuket means Beach and I know that it is really enticing. But after the surgery, your chest region and breast skin are highly susceptible to sunburn or the formation of irregular, darkened pigmentation. Do you want your breast skin to be the darkest part of your body? Think twice.
7. No to Bouncing, Moving  up and down (breast.) This includes elephant trekking, speed boat, parasailing etc. Again, do not engage in activities that cause your breasts to bounce or move up and down as this can cause excess stretching of the skin. Anyone want stretch marks?

And last but not the least..

8. Rest, but not bed rest. We don’t want you to have a bed sore. Rest is important in the early stages of healing. Walking after surgery is one of the most important things you can do after having a procedure. It may seem like a simple thing, but a quick walk every hour or two can help prevent serious complications like deep vein thrombosis and pneumonia. It can also help prevent one very common and annoying side effect of anesthesia: CONSTIPATION. Walking is a gentle way to return to physical activity and can help promote a return to regular activities.

Having your breast surgery in Thailand is undoubtedly the best option. Aside from choosing the best hospital and the best surgeon to have a successful surgery, what is more important is your safe health compliance after you are out of the theater (Operating Room). That matters most.

I love the movies Freaky Friday, 13 going 30, She’s the Man, Mrs. Doubtfire, etc. They’re all about gender or role or sex reassignment films with no surgery done. More of a magical or funny transformation. As a kid, I always fancied how it feels like to be in someone else’s body. That would be an adventure- to be someone else and hit the UNDO button once you’re tired with the role you’re playing or ask the fairy or the magician to bring you back to your old form- Abrakadabra! I am back!

But what if you have been trapped into someone’s body?  A body that you don’t like or wish you never had and there’s no UNDO button or no fairy that would help you end the spell given by a witch. That would be a struggle. Playing the role you never like is not an easy deal. What could be more frustrated than having the gender identity, expression or behavior which different from the assigned sex at birth? Gender identity is your internal sense of whether you are male or female. When you are transgender, this feeling doesn’t match your actual sex. Your body is male or female, but inside you feel you are really the opposite sex. You feel “trapped” in the wrong body. Since magic, fairies and witch are all fantasies, the only possible solution to end the “spell” is a sex reassignment surgery- to make the body match how he or she feels inside.

Public awareness is on the rise for sex reassignment surgery and I am extremely happy about it. For long years,  many transgender and gender-variant people experienced stigmatization and discrimination as a result of living in a gendered culture into which they often do not easily fit. They did not only experience an inner sense of not belonging but also discrimination, harassment, sometimes lethal violence and denial of basic human rights. Stress is a fact of life. Most of us have periods of stress at various times in our lives. But extra stress can have a serious effect on your health, especially if it lasts for a long time.  I never stopped hoping for  equality and acceptance for the transgender people. Gender freedom – isn’t that what we’re all fighting for with every breath we take? Well, how are we going to win it if we don’t support each other’s right to be different from us? Each person has the right to express their gender in any way that feels most comfortable.
