Breast Implant Removal in Thailand: Prices and Options (2026)

Yanhee International Hospital in Bangkok prints breast implant removal at THB 81,000, with one hospital night. Its separate row for removal through an incision at the breast base, without general anesthesia, is THB 64,000 with no hospital night. Both prices were read 27 October 2026.

Dr Nond Rojvachiranonda's price list prints removal with capsulectomy at THB 130,000 and removal by en bloc technique at THB 220,000, read 27 October 2026. Capsulectomy means removing part or all of the scar capsule around the implant, as described by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Those four rows span THB 64,000 to THB 220,000, but they describe different operations. This page covers the printed prices, capsule terminology and the questions left unanswered by the package pages.

Dollars at ฿33.14 = $1 (European Central Bank reference rates, 22 September 2026) are rounded conversions: THB divided by 33.14, our arithmetic, not a quote. The directory's USD price below is printed in dollars.

What Thai hospitals and clinics print

The prices and package details below were read 27 October 2026. Each row links to the seller or directory that published it; a listing remains a listing even when it carries a hospital's name.

GA means general anesthesia. Dr Nond's list describes its prices as starting figures requiring an official assessment; the removal rows don't set out the full bill.

Yanhee's removal rows don't specify capsule removal or pathology, the laboratory examination of removed tissue. So ask for those terms on the removal quote before treating the price as covering either service.

The Medex page is a marketplace listing for Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute. It doesn't say whether its price covers capsulectomy or en bloc removal. So it can't answer that part of a comparison with Dr Nond's rows.

Preecha's package page also lists interpreter services and optional pickup. It gives more detail about inclusions, but we found no price or capsule-removal policy on it.

We found no patient accounts of breast implant removal surgery in Thailand. There are no patient-paid totals here to compare with the advertised figures.

Clinics cannot pay to be listed or ranked higher on AsiaPatient.

Removal, capsulectomy and en bloc

The FDA describes implant-only removal as taking out the implant while leaving the surrounding scar capsule. It says this requires less surgical dissection and may carry less risk of local complications such as bleeding.

The other method removes some or all of that capsule along with the implant. The FDA's consumer page uses the terms partial capsulectomy, total capsulectomy and en-bloc resection in that discussion, and says to discuss the appropriate method with your surgeon.

Dr Nond's list gives capsulectomy and en bloc separate price rows. The list doesn't say that every removal requires the more expensive technique.

Ask the surgeon to describe the planned capsule work in writing.

The answer should say whether any capsule will remain, what the quoted technique involves and why it is proposed for your case. A price row alone doesn't supply those answers.

Why people have implants removed

The FDA describes removal as either a patient's choice or medically indicated. Its explanations cover complications as well as symptoms whose causes remain uncertain.

Capsular contracture is hardening around the implant. Severe grades III and IV might require another operation, the FDA says. Rupture, a tear or hole in the implant shell, is described on the same implant risks page.

The same FDA page identifies breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) as a T-cell lymphoma that can develop after breast implants. This is a cancer of the immune system, in the FDA's description.

For symptoms affecting the body more broadly, the FDA lists fatigue, memory loss, rash, brain fog and joint pain as potentially associated with implants. It says these symptoms and what causes them are poorly understood.

In some cases, removal of the implants without replacement is reported to reverse these symptoms, according to the FDA.

One study using 2015 to 2018 data from the American College of Surgeons' surgical outcomes database examined 2,231 surgeon-reported capsulectomies. The 2022 study, Complications of Capsulectomies, recorded contracture as the indication in 638 cases (28.6%) and rupture in 403 (18.1%).

That study reported complications in 67 of 2,231 patients, or 3.0%. It wasn't a Thai patient study or a comparison showing whether en bloc was better than other removal methods.

What changes the price

Capsule work has separate prices on Dr Nond's list: THB 130,000 with capsulectomy and THB 220,000 by en bloc technique. The difference is THB 220,000 minus THB 130,000 = THB 90,000, our arithmetic, not a quote for adding capsule work elsewhere.

The list also prints a vertical breast lift at THB 200,000 ($6,035) and fat injection per site at THB 35,000 ($1,056), read 27 October 2026. These are standalone starting prices; it doesn't offer them as additions to an explant package at those rates.

If you're asking about removal with a lift or fat transfer, request a combined quote. We found no price for removal with both a lift and fat transfer as one package.

Hospital nights need their own line. Yanhee states a night for one removal row and none for the no-GA row, while Preecha includes a private-room night in its unpriced package.

Pathology remains unanswered. None of the removal pages we read states that every removed implant or capsule goes to a laboratory, or gives a pathology fee.

Use the missing details in the published rows as questions:

• Does the total cover the surgeon, anesthesia and operating room?
• What capsule work does it cover, and what would change that charge?
• Will any removed tissue be examined, and what does that cost?
• Which tests, medication and follow-up appointments are included?
• What is the charge for an additional hospital night?
• What are the deposit, cancellation and payment terms?

These are questions for the seller. An unanswered line shouldn't be entered as zero in your budget.

Recovery and the trip

Yanhee's price table and Preecha's removal package supply hospital-night information.

Ask the treating surgeon for the expected hospital stay and the follow-up appointment dates before booking the trip. Ask when they expect to assess you for travel and what happens if that date changes.

Preecha lists postoperative care. Ask for a contact for concerns after you return home.

How to check the surgeon

Ask for the operating surgeon's full name and plastic surgery qualification before paying a deposit. The Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons of Thailand (ThPRS) states that membership requires the relevant specialist qualification or recognized expertise (translated from Thai).

Use the Thai plastic surgery societies' directory to search for the surgeon. It also links to the Medical Council's doctor lookup; the directory doesn't say that this link proves each listed surgeon has been cross-checked against the council database.

The ThPRS member search lists full members and warns that some have chosen not to publish their profiles. A missing name doesn't settle the question; ask the society's secretariat to confirm it.

Request the name of the hospital where the breast surgery would happen, plus the surgeon's explanation of the proposed capsule work, before comparing final quotes.

Frequently asked questions

How much is breast implant removal in Thailand?

Yanhee prints THB 81,000 with one hospital night and THB 64,000 for its separate no-GA removal row. Dr Nond prints starting figures of THB 130,000 with capsulectomy and THB 220,000 by en bloc technique, all read 27 October 2026.

These figures cover different procedure descriptions. The Medex figures in the table are listing prices, with less detail about capsule work.

What is en bloc?

The FDA's consumer page uses en-bloc resection in its discussion of removing the scar capsule along with an implant. Ask your surgeon to explain the technique they mean and how much capsule they intend to remove.

How long do I stay?

Yanhee lists one hospital night for its standard removal row, and Preecha includes one in its package. Ask for the follow-up and travel plan before choosing a return date.
