Breast Lift Surgery in Thailand

What Is Breast Lift Surgery?

A breast lift addresses the natural sagging that occurs when skin loses elasticity over time. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, and aging all contribute to breast ptosis (drooping), where breasts lose their youthful position and the nipples point downward.

During mastopexy, your surgeon removes excess skin, repositions the nipple and areola to a higher location, and tightens the remaining breast tissue. This creates a lifted, more youthful contour. The procedure reshapes what you have rather than adding volume. If you want both lift and size enhancement, your surgeon may recommend combining the procedure with breast augmentation.

Good candidates typically have breasts that sag or droop, nipples pointing downward or sitting below the breast crease, stretched areolas, and loss of breast firmness. The procedure works best when you're at a stable weight and have realistic expectations about the results.

What Affects the Final Price

1. Hospital tier and positioning create the most significant price differences. High-volume hospitals like Yanhee offer competitive pricing through efficiency and scale, while specialized surgical centers like Rattinan charge premium rates reflecting focused expertise and boutique service. Both approaches deliver quality results - the choice depends on your budget and preferences.
2. The technique required determines cost within each hospital. Mild sagging needs only peri-areolar incisions with minimal skin removal, keeping prices at the lower end. Severe ptosis requires extensive reshaping with inverted T-scars, more surgical time, and typically a longer hospital stay.
3. Breast size matters too. Larger, heavier breasts require more surgical time and may need additional nipple repositioning, both of which increase the final cost.
4. Combining procedures affects pricing. If you add breast lift to augmentation or have revision surgery, expect combined procedure pricing rather than individual rates for each.
5. Location plays a minor role. Hospitals in tourist destinations like Phuket may price slightly differently than Bangkok facilities, though the gap is usually small compared to other factors.

Surgical Techniques for Breast Lift

Your surgeon selects the incision pattern based on how much lift you need and your breast characteristics. Each technique balances the amount of correction with resulting scar visibility.

• ‍Peri-areolar (Donut) Lift works for mild sagging where the nipple has dropped slightly but remains above the breast crease. The surgeon makes a circular incision around the areola, removes a donut-shaped section of skin, and closes the incision to lift the breast. This leaves a scar only at the areola border, which typically heals well. The technique provides moderate lift without visible scarring on the breast itself.‍
• Vertical (Lollipop) Lift addresses moderate sagging with incisions around the areola and straight down to the breast crease. This allows more skin removal and better reshaping than the peri-areolar technique alone. You'll have a scar around the areola and a vertical line down the breast, but no horizontal scar along the crease. Recovery is similar to the peri-areolar approach.‍
• Inverted T (Anchor) Lift corrects severe sagging or very large breasts. The incisions form an anchor shape: around the areola, vertically down, and horizontally along the breast crease. This provides maximum lift and reshaping capability. While it creates the most extensive scarring, it's often the only technique that can achieve the desired result for significant ptosis. Scars fade over 12-18 months.‍
• Crescent Lift involves a small incision along the upper half of the areola only. Surgeons rarely use this as a standalone procedure since it provides minimal lift. It's sometimes combined with breast augmentation when you need just slight nipple repositioning.

Your surgeon will evaluate your breast anatomy, degree of sagging, skin quality, and desired outcome during consultation. They'll photograph your breasts, take measurements, and show you which technique will achieve the best result for your specific situation.

Planning Your Breast Lift Trip to Thailand

A typical breast lift requires 10-12 days in Thailand, though some patients extend their stay to enjoy more recovery time in a relaxed setting.

Week One: Arrival and Surgery

Arrive 1-2 days before your scheduled procedure. Your initial day includes final consultation with your surgeon, medical photography, and signing consent forms. Hospitals require basic blood work or ECG if not done beforehand to ensure you are fit enough to undergo surgery.

Surgery day itself takes 2-4 hours depending on technique. You'll spend one night in the hospital for monitoring, with nurses checking on you regularly. Most patients feel groggy and sore but manage well with prescribed pain medication.

Days 2-5 post-surgery involve rest at your accommodation. You'll wear a surgical bra continuously and avoid raising your arms above shoulder height. Swelling peaks around day 3-4. You can shower carefully after drain removal (usually day 2-3), keeping incisions dry. Light walking is encouraged but nothing strenuous.

Week Two: Recovery and Follow-up

Around day 7-10, you'll return to the hospital for suture removal and a check of your healing progress. Your surgeon examines the incision sites, assesses symmetry, and confirms you're ready to travel. They'll provide detailed aftercare instructions and may prescribe antibiotics to take home.

Most patients feel comfortable flying home at this point. You'll still have swelling and some tenderness, but the acute recovery phase is complete. Wear your compression bra for the flight and avoid lifting heavy luggage.

Some patients prefer staying 14 days to have an additional follow-up before traveling. This gives extra peace of mind but isn't medically necessary for straightforward cases.

Combining Procedures

If you're considering adding other procedures like liposuction or facial work, discuss this during your consultation. Combining surgeries can save costs and recovery time, but it may extend your required stay in Thailand. Plan an extra 3-5 days for combined procedures.
