How long should I stay in Thailand for Breast Reduction surgery?
It will take at least 10-14 days for you to stay in Phuket Thailand in order to get breast reduction and proper recovery. After that you will be healthy and safe to fly back home.
How is surgery performed?
Breast reduction or reduction mamaplasty in Phuket involves an anchor-shaped incision around the areola extending downward following the natural curve of the crease beneath your breast. A surgeon will remove excess tissue, fat and skin and reposition the nipple and areola into the new position. Underlying breast tissue is reduced, lifted and shaped for new contour of your breasts.
What kind of anesthesia will be used?
Breast reduction cosmetic surgery in Phuket is generally performed under general anesthesia.
What is the pre and post-surgical care?
You will be required to stop smoking, taking any medications and Vitamin, and drinking alcohol for 2 weeks prior to surgery to reduce risks and complications during an operation. After breast reduction, you may expect some pain in a few days and some discomfort in about 1 week. Any post-surgery discomfort can be managed by pain relief medication. You will wear an elastic bandage right after your surgery. Within 1-2 days this bandage will be replaced with a soft support bra that you have to wear all the time for several weeks. Strenuous activities including lifting or pushing anything heavy should be avoided for 3-4 weeks. Temporary loss of feeling in your nipples and breast skin caused by the swelling may appear and usually fade little by little over the next 6 weeks. Your first menstruation after the surgery may cause your breast to swell and hurt and you may also experience random pains for a few months. The surgeon will tell you everything you need to know about post-surgery recovery and it is important that you follow his advice closely to ensure optimal healing.
How is the incision and scar?
The incision is usually in an anchor shape around the areola extending downward following the natural curve of the crease beneath your breast. Breast reduction leaves noticeable, permanent scars. However, your bra or bathing suit can cover this. Scars often remain lumpy and red for months, after which they gradually become less obvious. Sometimes they eventually fade to thin white lines.
What are the possible risks and complications?
Infection and blood clots are very rare complications, but possible, in breast reduction. The risk of blood clots can be reduced by moving around after the surgery. Another possible complication is poor healing, which can result in scar which can be obviously seen. The risk of complications can be reduced with the surgeon’s advise.
