Enhancing Your Confidence with Breast Augmentation at WIH Hospital

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast size, improve shape, and enhance body proportions. Patients choose this surgery to:

• Improve breast symmetry
• Achieve a more feminine or balanced silhouette
• Restore volume after pregnancy or weight loss

At WIH International Hospital, breast augmentation is a personalized journey to enhance both shape and confidence. Led by Dr. Chettasak Tulayaphanich (formerly known as Dr. Chettawut), our procedures focus on achieving natural, balanced results through two safe and effective techniques: breast implants, used in about 90% of cases, and fat transfer, chosen in approximately 10%.

Breast implants are ideal for achieving fuller volume with precise shape and projection. They offer long-lasting results and are suitable even for patients with minimal natural breast tissue. However, they do involve a small incision and require long-term monitoring, as they are foreign materials.

Fat transfer, on the other hand, uses your own body fat to subtly enhance the breasts while also slimming another area of your body. This method offers a soft, natural look without implants, though it’s best for those with adequate fat and realistic expectations, as some of the fat may reabsorb over time and volume increase is moderate.

Whichever option you choose, our team is here to help you achieve a result that feels just right for you.

Breast Implants Shapes

Today, round implants are by far the most commonly used shape for breast augmentation. The previously popular anatomical (teardrop-shaped) implants have largely fallen out of favor due to the risk of implant rotation, which can lead to malposition and asymmetry.

Round implants are now available in two major styles depending on the brand:

• Static Round Implants: Such as those from Mentor, maintain a consistent round shape regardless of body position. They offer reliable fullness, especially in the upper pole, and are often chosen for patients who desire a lifted or voluminous look.
• Ergonomic Implants: Such as Motiva Ergonomix® (Ergonomic 1) and Motiva JOY® (Ergonomic 2), are made with a softer, adaptive gel that allows the implant to change shape with natural body movement. When standing, they resemble a teardrop shape by settling more volume in the lower pole; when lying down, they redistribute more evenly. This dynamic behavior closely mimics real breast tissue, offering a very natural look and feel without the structural risks of fixed anatomical implants.

Breast Implants Profiles (Projection Levels)

Implants are available in various projection levels, which determine how far the implant extends forward from the chest wall. This factor significantly influences the final breast shape and how prominent the enhancement appears.

In clinical practice today, the most commonly chosen profiles are Moderate or Moderate Plus in Mentor, and Demi or Full in Motiva. These profiles offer a balanced projection that flatters most body types without looking overly exaggerated.

Low profile implants have a wider base and subtle forward projection, typically suited for patients with a broad chest who prefer a gentle, natural slope. On the other end of the spectrum, high or extra-high profile implants provide more forward projection with a narrower base—ideal for petite frames or patients seeking a rounder, fuller upper pole.

Selecting the right projection level is just as important as choosing the size or shape. At WIH, Dr. Chettasak will guide you toward the most proportionate and natural-looking outcome based on your anatomy and goals—ensuring your result fits your body, not just your cup size.

Popular Breast Implant Brands Used in Thailand

Thailand is recognized as one of the leading destinations for breast augmentation in Asia, and the country’s top plastic surgeons work with internationally trusted implant brands that meet strict global safety standards.

The two most popular breast implant brands used in Thailand are:

Motiva® is widely used across premium hospitals and clinics in Thailand due to its natural feel, advanced safety features, and soft-tissue-like behavior. Its Ergonomix® and JOY® (Ergonomic 2) models are designed to move and settle naturally depending on body position.

Patients can register their implants using the official MotivaImagine® App, which provides digital verification of implant details, warranty coverage, and authenticity. At WIH Hospital, our nursing staff will assist you with the registration process during your recovery, ensuring your Motiva implant is properly recorded and linked to your personal care file for long-term safety.

Mentor® is an American brand under Johnson & Johnson, is one of the most established breast implant brands used worldwide and trusted for its long-term reliability. It offers a broad range of shapes and projection levels, with a more structured feel, ideal for patients seeking a fuller, well-defined breast contour. It is FDA-approved and highly popular in Thailand for both primary and revision cases.

Both brands are available at WIH Hospital and are selected based on each patient’s anatomy, goals, and preference — with a strong focus on safety and natural results.
