    Default Overseas Breast Augmentation

    Hey ladies

    Has anyone had their BA done outside the US? If so would you reccomend it? How much did you pay US dollars? Where the facilities clean? Did you get any infections etc? How long did you stay for follow up appts?Did you like the service of Nurses?

    I know thats alot of questions, I want to have a wealth of first hand experiences before I decide. thanx in advance !!!

    There are a lot of good doctors and hospitals outside of the US that you could have your BA done. However, you must factor in the costs. If anything were to happen that you would need to see your doctor for after returning home, you would incur additional airline and hotel expenses. For the most part, most doctors will not "fix" anything from another doctor. It makes them just as liable for any future problems. Most doctors will insist on taking the implant out and re-doing them...

    There are a lot of things that you need to look into...not JUST cost...but it is a big part of it.

    for what you pay in costs and possible re-do's, just get it done in the usa for 3k.

    the only reason I can see to go abroad is to get silicone.

    tampa is in FL, and they are cheaper down there

    $5000 is still reasonable, I think

    Question: Would you rather have ugly $3k boobs or beautiful $5k boobs? Just save... when it comes to something like this going cheapest is probably not the best answer...

    It sounded good and tempting to me to get silicone boobs in South America. Because it's cheap and yes, there are doctors over there who do an excellent job. But all surgeries have risks. And would be a pain in the butt to waste more money to fly back to have correction(IF needed). Think about it. Unless you plan on staying there for about a month or two.
    Good luck.

    i really don't think 2k is going to make that much of a difference, lol.

    I paid 3200 and he did a damn fine job, i would have paid more (ABSOLUTELY no problem) but i got a referral from a friend who's chest i thought looked great.

    But anyway he does VOLUME surgeries and everything is cheaper in alabama. He is even featured on one of the implant sites, and is board certified w/out any pending lawsuits. This guy knows what he is doing.

    Well, I only paid $4K but that was 3 years ago and he now charges $5500... it also has to do with where you live.. im in CA and EVERYTHING is more expensive here...I would go to Alabama or anywhere in the US.. you CAN find cheap doctors here without going overseas...

    I wonder if he does cohesive gel for 2nd time arounders... gonna check it out...

    I was thinking of going overseas for a cheaper price! I have plenty of frequent flyer miles so I would be flying for free. I have NO problem in paying $5000 for a Fantastic boob job! I just want to make sure I weigh ALL my options. I also don't mind paying less than $5000 for a fantastic boob job. Sometimes these doctors hike the prices up on a cosmetic surgery they were just charging 1k less for a year ago. I know alot of you ladies here have BA and could give me advice.thanx ladies for your comments.

    in defense of doctors who suddenly raise their price....it's because they are probably in demand, and if a surgeon is in demand, he's probably good.

    Jade, would you mind e-mailing me to talk about your experiences in Thailand? I am in need of a revision to my breast lift due to surgeon error and scar contraction. I am interested in Thailand, but I'm a bit nervous about going out of the country... You can e-mail me at ravennablack @ hotmail.com (remove spaces) if you'd be willing to share.

    Thanks!

    There was a thread about this on implantinfo.com today. A girl was talking about her wonderful experience in Thailand. I would visit this site if you haven't already for more info. But overall, even if you want silicone, I'd say stay in the US. There is a doctor here in St Louis who, according to a dancer at my club who used him, will give anyone silicone. I think overall it will still be cheaper to stay in the US. Good Luck! Jenna
