Asia Medical Tourism Analysis (2008 – 2013)
 
 Asia medical tourism industry has been growing with a double digit CAGR and expected to reach US$ 8.5 Billion by 2013. Thailand and India vie with each other for the medical tourism crown. Thailand’s prices are a bit higher on average than India’s, with the main advantages being a better overall tourist experience and more bundling of services. In 2008 Thailand has treated the highest number of international patients compared to any other Asian countries. But its market share of Asia medical tourist arrivals and medical tourism market is declining year on year is a matter of concern.

 India advantages are that it is the cheapest of any of the world medical tourism destinations, while being the equal of the other major destinations in terms of quality of staff, equipment and healthcare procedures. With many brand new state of the art hospitals and western trained doctors it is easy to see why it is a leader in medical tourism. In 2008 India market shares in Asia medical tourist arrivals was 18.7 percent and it is expected to rise further to nearly 25 percent by 2013.
 
 In comparison to this South Korea is planning to develop an island into a healthcare hub with all the latest healthcare facilities by 2011. The island will be a two-hour flight from five major Asian cities Seoul, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Tokyo. Malaysia is concentrating on neighboring countries like Indonesia Singapore for its growth going forward. The international patient arrivals to Malaysia are expected to grow with a CAGR of 29.27 percent for the period of 2009 to 2013.

Breast Augmentation , Breast Enlargement : Medical Tourism in the Philippine

Breast Augmentation; Affordable Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Philippines

Breast augmentation, technically known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that enhances the size and shape of a woman’s breast with the use of breast implant (silicon or saline). The procedure also enhances breast contour and volume after pregnancy. Breast implant is composed of silicon gel or saline within a silicon shell. Breast implant is different from silicon oil. Most Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon all over the world doesn’t do silicon oil injection of breast to enhance breast size and volume. This technique is condemned both locally and internationally by most surgeon, since the result are unpredictable and compounded by numerous complications such as extrusion, skin necrosis and infection. Patients should not allow them self to be subjected to this procedure, because the risk for unwanted complication is very high and result are deforming or unpredictable. Most surgeon uses Breast Implant which is composed of material that is non toxic, non allergenic, non teratogenic and biocompatible to human tissues and thus have less risk for any unwanted results and with more predictable outcome.

I perform my Breast Augmentation procedure under deep sedation with local anesthesia or general anesthesia. The procedure can be done either as an outpatient surgery or patient can be admitted or confine for a day or two in a hospital, depending on the surgeon and patient’s preference. Weather the procedure will be performed as an Out-Patient or as a Hospital procedure, preoperative laboratory and medical clearance is required. The surgery usually takes one to two hours to complete. The breast implant can be inserted through an incision at armpit or breast folds or at the areolar border. Each choice of incision site has its own advantage and disadvantage in terms of scar cosmesis and nipple sensation. And among the three incisions the transaxillary approach has the best scar cosmesis since it is concealed and nipple sensation is well preserve. But it is advisable to the patient to further discus this issue if ever scaring will be a significant concern. After the procedure there will be some swelling and mild bruising that last for several days to few weeks and this is only a transient changes. Patient is required to wear breast binder for 3 to 6 weeks. This will hold the breast implant in place during the healing process and also help control the swelling. Sutures are removed after 7 to 10 days.
