Bangkok · Cosmetic surgery
Bangkok does a lot of this operation. That volume is why the price is what it is, and it is also why the range is wide — "breast augmentation" covers everything from a straightforward implant in a day clinic to an implant plus a lift in a private hospital with an overnight bed.
This page sets out what the money buys, what changes the figure, what the trip looks like day by day, and what to establish with a clinic before you pay a deposit.
Starting price · Bangkok
฿89,000
What a starting price means. It is the published figure for the simplest configuration of this procedure — the standard implant, technique or materials. Yours may cost more depending on what you need. Thai hospitals quote a fixed package that states the hospital stay it includes.

Breast augmentation places an implant to increase volume and change shape. It is done under general anaesthetic and typically takes one to two hours.
The words cover a wide range of operations. An implant alone is a different procedure from an implant with a lift, and the two are priced and recovered from very differently.
The same procedure name covers different operations. These are the approaches a clinic will offer, and what separates them.
These come up at consultation. Knowing them beforehand makes the conversation shorter and the plan clearer.
Silicone gel, cohesive gel, or saline. Each behaves differently to the touch and in the event of a rupture.
Implants are chosen by base width and projection, not by cup size. A responsible consultation measures rather than guesses.
If the nipple sits below the fold, an implant alone adds volume without correcting position. That is two procedures.
Practice has moved substantially towards smooth in recent years. Ask what the surgeon uses and why.

Video slot. Once a video is registered here it is checked automatically and we are alerted if it disappears.
In writing, in English, before money moves.
A clinic name is not a surgeon. Ask for the individual and their registration.
Make, model, size, profile, and whether it is included in the quoted figure.
Facility fees, anaesthesia, materials, medication, follow-up appointments and take-home items are often quoted separately.
Including if the clinic reschedules, or if the in-person assessment changes the plan.
Ask for the policy in writing: who pays, within what window, and whether it covers a return trip.
A name, a channel, and an expected response time. Aftercare that ends at the airport is not aftercare.
Everything worth settling before you book, before you fly, while you are in Bangkok, and once you are home — including how this goes wrong and how to avoid it. Tick it here, or take it with you.
All of this is settled on paper, before money moves.
Avoidable problems, mostly caused by booking in the wrong order.

No. It is a starting price — the published figure for the simplest version of this procedure. Only a clinic can quote you, and only after examining you and agreeing a plan.
Lower facility and staffing costs, and high procedure volume. It is the same operation, and the major implant and device manufacturers are the same ones used at home.
Around 10 days for most people. The final review and clearance to fly sets the length, not the surgery.
No. Your surgeon sets the date you are fit to fly. Book a flexible return if you can.
No. Clinics working with international patients operate in English. Ask which language your aftercare contact works in.
