Breast Augmentation in Vietnam
Breast Implants Planned for Your Body, Your Proportions and Your Goals
Breast augmentation is one of the most personalized cosmetic surgery procedures.
Some patients want a subtle increase that looks naturally proportional to their body. Others want more upper breast fullness, cleavage or a noticeably fuller shape. Some want to restore volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight loss.
There is no single implant size, shape or surgical technique that is right for everyone.
At Dr. Koko Vietnam, breast augmentation planning begins with your existing breast anatomy, chest proportions, tissue characteristics and the result you want to achieve.

Quick Answer
Breast augmentation in Vietnam uses breast implants to increase or restore breast volume and change breast shape.
Your surgeon may consider:
• Your current breast size and shape
• Chest and breast width
• Existing breast tissue
• Skin characteristics
• Breast asymmetry
• Implant size and dimensions
• Implant profile and projection
• Implant type
• Implant placement
• Incision approach
• Your preferred result
• Whether a breast lift should also be considered
International patients can begin with a free online consultation before travelling to Vietnam.
Send your photos, height, weight, relevant medical information and examples of the result you like. The surgeon can perform an initial assessment and our team can explain the proposed treatment, individual quotation and recommended treatment schedule.

What Can Breast Augmentation Change?
Breast augmentation can increase breast volume, but volume is only one part of the result.
Depending on your anatomy and implant selection, surgery may change:
• Overall breast size
• Breast projection
• Upper breast fullness
• Breast proportions
• Cleavage appearance
• Breast shape
• Balance between the breasts
• Proportion between the breasts, waist and hips
• Volume lost after pregnancy or weight change
The result depends on both the implant and the breast tissue covering it.
This is why choosing an implant from a photo or a number alone is not enough.
Who May Consider Breast Augmentation?
Patients may seek consultation because they:
• Naturally have smaller breasts
• Want more breast volume
• Want greater upper breast fullness
• Want more visible cleavage
• Have lost volume after pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Have lost breast volume after weight loss
• Have breast asymmetry
• Want different body proportions
• Want to restore previous breast volume
• Already have implants and want a different size or result
Your surgeon must assess whether breast augmentation is appropriate for your individual case.
What Kind of Breasts Do You Want?
This is one of the most useful questions to think about before your consultation.
Do you want:
Subtle and Natural?
A moderate change that remains close to your existing proportions.
Natural but Fuller?
More volume and shape while maintaining balanced proportions.
More Upper Fullness?
A fuller appearance in the upper part of the breast.
More Cleavage?
Greater central fullness may be one of your goals, although your natural chest anatomy strongly influences how close the breasts can sit.
A More Noticeable Result?
Some patients intentionally prefer a fuller and more projected appearance.
There is no universally correct aesthetic choice.
Tell us what you like.
Reference photos are useful because words such as “natural,” “full” and “big” can mean very different things to different people.
Natural vs Fuller Breast Augmentation
Two patients with the same implant volume can look completely different after surgery.
Why?
Because the final appearance is influenced by:
• Height
• Weight
• Chest width
• Rib cage shape
• Existing breast tissue
• Breast base width
• Skin characteristics
• Implant dimensions
• Implant profile
• Implant placement
This is why we do not recommend choosing implants based only on another patient's cc.
Choosing Your Breast Implant Size
One of the first questions patients ask is:
“How many cc should I get?”
CC describes implant volume.
It does not tell you everything about how the implant will look on your body.
For example, implants with similar volume may have different:
• Widths
• Heights
• Profiles
• Projection
The surgeon needs to match the implant dimensions to your anatomy and goals.
Why Bigger Is Not Always Better
A larger implant does not automatically create a better result.
Implant selection needs to consider whether your tissues can appropriately accommodate the proposed implant.
Your surgeon may consider:
• Breast width
• Chest dimensions
• Skin characteristics
• Existing breast tissue
• Desired projection
• Long term tissue considerations
• Overall proportions
The objective is not simply to fit the largest possible implant.
The objective is to select an implant that makes sense for your anatomy and the result you want.
Can I Choose My Cup Size?
You can tell us your current bra size and the approximate size you hope to achieve.
However, bra cup sizes are not standardized between brands or countries.
For this reason, surgery cannot reliably guarantee an exact postoperative cup size.
A better consultation usually combines:
• Your current size
• Your desired increase
• Your body measurements
• Reference photos
• Implant dimensions
• Surgeon assessment
Breast Implant Width
Implant width is particularly important because the implant needs to relate appropriately to your breast and chest dimensions.
Two patients asking for the same volume may need different implants because their breast widths are different.
This is one reason final implant planning should be confirmed after an in person examination.
Implant Profile and Projection
Implant profile describes how far the implant projects relative to its width.
Depending on the implant system, different profile options may be available.
A higher profile does not automatically mean a better or more attractive breast.
The appropriate projection depends on your:
• Chest width
• Existing breast tissue
• Desired fullness
• Implant width
• Overall body proportions
Round Breast Implants
Round implants are commonly discussed in breast augmentation.
Their final appearance is influenced by more than the implant shape itself.
Implant dimensions, profile, placement and your existing breast tissue all contribute to how the breast looks after surgery.
A round implant does not automatically mean an obviously “round” or unnatural result.
Motiva Breast Implants
Many international patients specifically ask Dr. Koko Vietnam about Motiva breast implants.
Motiva offers different implant options and dimensions designed for different patient requirements.
If you are interested in Motiva, tell us during your consultation.
However, choosing a brand is only one part of breast augmentation planning.
Your surgeon still needs to determine:
• Appropriate implant dimensions
• Suitable projection
• Surgical placement
• Incision approach
• Whether your tissues are suitable for the result you want
Ask About Motiva During Your Free Consultation
Motiva Ergonomix
Some patients ask specifically about Motiva Ergonomix after researching implants online.
If this is the implant you are considering, tell our team.
The surgeon can assess whether the available dimensions and characteristics are appropriate for your anatomy and desired result.
Do not choose an implant simply because it is popular on social media or because another patient had a good result with it.
Which Breast Implant Is Best?
There is no universal “best breast implant.”
A suitable implant is one that makes sense for your anatomy, goals and surgical plan.
When comparing implants, your surgeon may consider:
• Manufacturer
• Implant dimensions
• Profile
• Projection
• Implant characteristics
• Available sizes
• Your breast tissue
• Your desired result
Ask why a particular implant is being recommended for you.
Breast Implant Placement
Patients often see terms such as:
Over the muscle
Under the muscle
Dual plane
These describe different relationships between the implant and surrounding breast and muscle structures.
Each approach has different considerations.
The appropriate placement depends on factors such as:
• Existing breast tissue
• Tissue coverage
• Implant dimensions
• Chest anatomy
• Desired result
• Surgeon assessment
One placement is not automatically best for every patient.
What Is Dual Plane Breast Augmentation?
Dual plane is a surgical concept involving a relationship between the implant, breast tissue and chest muscle.
It may be considered for selected patients depending on their anatomy and surgical goals.
Seeing the term “dual plane” online does not mean you automatically need it.
Your surgeon should explain the proposed implant plane and why it is being recommended for your case.
Where Is the Breast Implant Incision?
Different incision approaches can be used for breast augmentation.
The planned incision depends on your surgical technique and surgeon's assessment.
Your surgeon should explain:
• Where the incision will be
• Why that location is recommended
• Expected scar position
• How to care for the incision during recovery
All surgical incisions create scars.
Scar appearance usually changes as healing progresses, but completely invisible scars cannot be guaranteed.
Breast Asymmetry
Almost everyone has some natural difference between the two breasts.
Asymmetry may involve:
• Breast volume
• Breast width
• Breast shape
• Nipple position
• Breast fold position
• Chest wall shape
• Skin
• Existing tissue
The surgeon may plan each breast individually when appropriate.
Surgery may improve selected differences, but perfect symmetry cannot be guaranteed.
Can Different Implant Sizes Be Used?
In selected cases, different implant dimensions or volumes may be considered when breast asymmetry is significant.
However, using different implants is not automatically the correct solution for every asymmetry.
The surgeon needs to identify why the breasts look different before deciding how to address it.
Do I Need a Breast Lift or Just Implants?
This is an important question, particularly after pregnancy, breastfeeding or major weight loss.
Implants add volume.
A breast lift addresses breast position and excess skin through a different surgical approach.
Some patients may be suitable for:
• Breast implants alone
• Breast lift alone
• Breast implants combined with a lift
If significant sagging is present, simply choosing a larger implant may not solve the underlying concern.
Breast Augmentation With Lift
For selected patients, breast augmentation and breast lift may be considered together.
This can be appropriate when the patient wants additional volume but also has breast position or skin concerns that implants alone may not adequately address.
Combination surgery involves additional considerations, including incision planning, scars, tissue condition and recovery.
It should only be recommended after individual assessment.
Breast Augmentation After Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can change:
• Breast volume
• Skin
• Breast position
• Nipple position
• Breast symmetry
Some patients primarily lose volume.
Others develop both volume loss and breast sagging.
This is why two mothers requesting “breast augmentation” may receive completely different treatment recommendations.
Tell your surgeon about previous pregnancies and breastfeeding during consultation.
Breast Augmentation After Weight Loss
Weight loss can reduce breast volume and may leave different amounts of loose skin.
Your surgeon needs to determine whether your main concern is:
• Loss of volume
• Loose skin
• Breast position
• Shape
• A combination
Implants alone are not automatically appropriate for every patient after major weight loss.
Breast Augmentation for Petite Patients
Petite patients sometimes worry that breast implants will look too large or unnatural.
Body size alone does not determine whether breast augmentation can look proportional.
Implant dimensions can be selected according to chest width, existing tissue and the patient's desired result.
For a petite frame, careful implant selection is particularly important because relatively small differences in implant dimensions can produce noticeable changes in proportions.
Breast Augmentation for International Patients
You should not need to travel to Vietnam just to find out whether breast augmentation may be suitable for you.
Start online.
International patients can send photos and information before booking their surgery trip.
This is particularly useful for patients travelling from countries such as:
• Australia
• Indonesia
• Singapore
• Malaysia
• New Zealand
• Other international destinations
Your location does not change the need for individual medical assessment. Read the International Patient Guide before planning your treatment trip.

Pre-Surgery Health and Safety Assessment
Before breast augmentation surgery, your surgeon will review your medical history, current health, breast anatomy, previous procedures when relevant and treatment goals to determine whether surgery is appropriate for you.
Any necessary examinations or pre-operative tests will be arranged according to your individual case. Your surgeon will also explain the proposed implant plan, surgical approach, recovery and important considerations before you decide whether to proceed.
What Is Capsular Contracture?
The body naturally forms scar tissue around a breast implant.
In some patients, this capsule can tighten around the implant.
This is known as capsular contracture.
The severity and symptoms can vary.
If you already have implants and are concerned about hardness, shape changes, discomfort or another implant related issue, you may need a breast implant revision assessment.

Can Breast Implants Rupture?
Breast implants are medical devices and can fail or rupture.
Breast implants should not be considered lifetime devices.
Patients should understand the implant information provided to them and follow appropriate medical recommendations regarding future monitoring.
Breast Implants Are Not Lifetime Devices
Having breast augmentation does not mean you will automatically need replacement at one exact number of years.
However, implants are not considered lifetime devices.
Future surgery may become appropriate because of:
• Implant related complications
• Changes in breast tissue
• Aging
• Pregnancy
• Weight changes
• Personal preference
• Desire for different implant size
• Implant removal
Breast Implant Revision
Already have implants?
You may need a different consultation pathway.
Breast implant revision can be considered for concerns such as:
• Changing implant size
• Capsular contracture
• Implant position
• Rupture concerns
• Asymmetry
• Rippling
• Changes after pregnancy or aging
• Implant removal
• Implant replacement

Breast Augmentation Recovery
Every patient's recovery is different.
During early recovery, you may experience:
• Swelling
• Tightness
• Tenderness
• Bruising
• Temporary changes in sensation
• Temporary differences in breast position
• A breast shape that looks different from the final result
Breasts need time to settle as tissues heal.
Do not judge your final result during the early postoperative period.
Support Bra and Garment
A postoperative support bra or garment may be recommended according to your surgical plan.
Follow the instructions provided by your surgeon regarding:
• How long to wear it
• When it can be removed
• Showering
• Sleeping
• Activity
Do not change your postoperative routine based only on advice from another patient's social media experience.
Sleeping After Breast Augmentation
Your surgical team will provide instructions about sleeping position during early recovery.
These recommendations can depend on your procedure and healing.
Follow your individual postoperative instructions rather than assuming one sleeping position or timeline applies to every patient.
Exercise and Gym After Breast Augmentation
Returning to exercise should be gradual.
Walking and normal daily activity are different from:
• Heavy lifting
• Upper body training
• Running
• High impact exercise
• Chest exercises
The appropriate timing depends on your procedure and recovery.
Ask your surgeon before returning to strenuous exercise.
How Long Should I Stay in Vietnam?
International patients should allow enough time for:
• In person consultation
• Medical assessment
• Surgery
• Early recovery
• Follow up appointments
Your recommended stay depends on your treatment plan and early healing.
Our team can explain the expected schedule during your online consultation before you finalize your flights.
When Can I Fly Home?
Your return travel should be based on your procedure, recovery and follow up requirements.
Do not choose your flight date solely because another breast augmentation patient flew home at that time.
Your surgical team will advise you according to your individual case.
Breast Augmentation Frequently Asked Questions
What Breast Implant Size Should I Choose?
Implant size should be selected according to your chest dimensions, breast tissue and desired result.
CC alone is not enough to determine the right implant.
How Many CC Do I Need?
There is no standard number.
The same implant volume can look very different on patients with different bodies.
Can I Choose My Cup Size?
You can tell the surgeon the approximate size you want, but an exact bra cup size cannot be guaranteed because sizing varies between brands.
Can I Send Inspiration Photos?
Yes.
Reference photos are useful for explaining the breast shape, fullness and proportions you like.
They are communication tools rather than guarantees that your result will be identical.
Do You Have Motiva Breast Implants?
If you are interested in Motiva or Motiva Ergonomix, tell our team during your consultation.
Available implant options and suitability should be confirmed for your individual treatment plan.
Which Implant Brand Is Best?
There is no single implant brand that is automatically best for everyone.
Your surgeon should consider the implant characteristics, dimensions, your anatomy and your desired result.
Is Under the Muscle Better?
Not necessarily.
Implant placement should be selected according to your anatomy, tissue coverage, implant plan and surgeon assessment.
What Is Dual Plane?
Dual plane is a surgical approach involving the relationship between the implant, breast tissue and chest muscle.
It may be appropriate for selected patients but is not automatically required.
Do I Need a Breast Lift?
Some patients need implants only.
Others have significant breast sagging or skin concerns and may benefit from a breast lift, either alone or with implants.
The surgeon needs to assess you before making this recommendation.
Can Breast Implants Fix Asymmetry?
Breast augmentation may improve selected differences, but perfect symmetry cannot be guaranteed.
Can I Breastfeed After Breast Augmentation?
Breastfeeding ability after breast surgery varies and cannot be guaranteed.
Tell your surgeon if future breastfeeding is important to you.
Will I Lose Nipple Sensation?
Changes in breast or nipple sensation can occur after breast surgery.
These changes may be temporary or, in some cases, persistent.
Discuss this risk with your surgeon before surgery.
Do Breast Implants Need to Be Replaced Every 10 Years?
There is not one automatic replacement date for every patient.
However, breast implants are not lifetime devices and future monitoring or surgery may become necessary.
How Much Is Breast Augmentation in Vietnam?
There is no single quotation appropriate for every patient.
Your implant selection, anatomy, surgical technique and whether additional treatment is required can affect the treatment plan.
After consultation, our team can provide your individual quotation.
Can I Get a Quotation Before Flying to Vietnam?
Yes.
International patients can start with a free online consultation.
After an initial assessment, our team can provide information about your proposed treatment and individual quotation before you finalize your trip.
Can I Have Breast Augmentation and Another Procedure Together?
Selected procedures may sometimes be combined, but combination surgery is not automatically appropriate.
The surgeon needs to consider your health, procedures involved, expected surgical time and recovery requirements.
When Can I Fly Home?
The recommended travel schedule depends on your procedure and early recovery.
Your surgical team will advise you according to your individual case.
