    Default I went to Bumrumgrad in Thailand for boobs

    and did not get them done :-(

    I had an appointment for a consultation with a PS named Dr.Poomee, and he had me reserved for surgery the folowing day.

    Basically I was indicisive about Silicone or Sailene, and when I asked his opinion, he said I was like 'If you are not sure then don't do it'.

    And I'm like, uh, I just don't want Silicone, and then he was like 'Think about it more and come back." (this was his last 2 days before a 1 month holiday).

    So basically I wasted a huge trip for nothing.

    And he persuaded me not to do the surgery. And he knew I went all that way just to meet him.

    Ugh.

    Why did you decide to go to Thailand? Where are you now, if you don't mind me asking?

    I am in Egypt now.

    I know a french lady and he did her boobs and they are great. I researched him and didn't find any dirt.

    It sucks I had a 10 hr flight both ways, and paid all that money to get there, and then he kind of flaked out on me.

    I still don't really understand why he was reluctant.

    Everything was going really well until I asked him specifically what responsability he would take if anything went wrong. Almost immediately after he answered that question [he would waive his fees for a re-do, but I still pay hopsital charges), he said that he didn't want to do it because I don't seem sure I want it.

    And after a PS impies in any way he doesn't want to do it, it would be suicide to go ahead, I got a bad feeling from how the consult went anyway...

    Well best bet is to go with your intuition. But I say a Dr. who tries to persue you to get it done, probably has a higher chance on fucking up.

    Yeah, to me it seems better for him to tell you to wait on it than for him to try to convince you on what you want.

    Well maybe he didn't want you to get them because you were indecisive. I think PS should be something you really want and know for sure its the right thing for you. Like already knowing the pros and cons of saline vs silicone.

    I know the pros and cons, but I was expecting to benefit from his experience and get his opinion on what was best for me.

    I didn't say I don't know the difference, TigersMilk, try to read first.

    Basically, this doctor followed proper medical ethics !!! Plastic surgeons aren't car salesman after all. From his point of view, you were not coming across as a patient who had totally made up their mind about implants. Additionally, you came across as a 'negative' patient by asking the surgeon about financial details in the event of complications (as opposed to asking hospital business staff). Especially in a popular plastic surgery 'destination' like Bumrungrad, the hospital and the plastic surgeons have enough eager and positive patients to keep them busy, thus they have absolutely no reason to put themselves into a position of 'forcing' or 'selling' a reluctant patient on their services - or for that matter taking on a patient with an apparent negative mindset who is more likely to complain about less than perfect plastic surgery results.

    Well read Melonies advice again.

    Because of your indecisiveness he didn't want to sell you on saline vs. silicone. He is probably already busy enough and didn't want a patient to who is already indecisive to be unhappy with results.

    Hes used to dealing with patients who already know what they want.

    Such as when I go I know I want to get cohesive gel under the muscle.

    Did you tell him what results you wanted? Like did you know if you wanted real or fake looking?

    I know a few girls who have gone to Thailand for BA's and had fantastic results but they went in knowing exactly what they wanted, they told the PS and the PS told them exactly what they needed to do and they got the results they wanted.

    If you sound even somewhat hesitant then the PS will advice against surgery because they don't want you to go through with something without knowing exactly what you want.

    I think he just wanted to start his vacation early. Just my HO. If he couldn't take the time to explain to you, in person, what he thought the pro's & cons were... that is not beyond the scope of a consultation.

    Lots of people get nervous before they get their boobs done. I was nervous. Being a little shaky at the last minute doesn't mean you don't know if you want to do it. She flew 10 hours for goodness sake. She was just looking for reassurance from her doctor that saline was the right choice for her.

    That's kind of it in a nutshell. Yes it sucks that you went all that way, but if you look at it from his point of view, he was doing the right thing.

    I think he was worried about you going after him if you were not happy. That question combined with your indecisiveness was enough to make him back off

    Thank you.

    And Melonie, this doctor sets his own prices independent from the hospital. And when I tried to get details on price & policy from the Admin department I was told to contact him directly.

    Hey 242_fair . I was thinking about getting my breasts redone in Thailand, I know a woman from there and she raved about how great they are at BA's and about the huge price difference from canadian prices. Did you get quoted a good price?

    It was about 2700 Euro. 120k baht.. you can check on xe.com what the exchange was to USD.

    This Dr's prices are different (more) than all other Dr's at that hospital.

    But after this experience I would not suggest you do it there. There is too much risk in complications and having to fly all the way back. The trip is long and hours sitting in a plane with a hematoma would not be fun. I met a lady in the waiting room who came from abroad with a bloody sack under her tit and she was in bad condition, and I just could not imagine doing that.

    If something went wrong here in Egypt there is nobody here to fix it, and if something went wrong in Canada I might not be financially or physically able to fly back to Thailand for help.

    No no I like your opinions! I am trying to put some thought into what happened in the last 48 hours, and this helps.

    I was just calling Melonie the know-it-all, not you.

    Cally, I told him I wanted 225cc, natural looking, just to fill in my breast tissue.

    Heh....Well then I will proceed....

    http://www.implantforum.com/mentor/s...-implants.html
    Heres a link I found to silicone vs saline sizes when it comes to 225 cc's. Since you can't over fill silicone ones because they are already full imo silicone would be best. Well of course depending on going over or under. If over then silicone b/c the less chance of rippling. etc etc.

    Well my little extra tid bit:

    I got my BA with salines overfilled 425 and 410 in april 06 and I have ripples already. They are not visible when I bend over, pole tricks or any of that but I can feel them. No one else says they can feel them....yet that is. So I would strongly suggest to go with silicone.

    Wow, let's try not to be so snotty here, yah? If anyone has good info on BA's I'm willing to bet it's Melonie, and secondly, I'm pretty certain at no point did she insult you, she just offered her opinion on why the doc would do that, which is what you asked for in the OP......
