Breast Augmentation in Thailand
MTF Surgery at APS Gender Care

Breast augmentation is one of the most frequently requested gender-affirming procedures for trans women. For many MTF patients, developing a feminine chest is central to feeling at home in their body — and surgical augmentation offers results that hormones alone may not fully achieve, particularly for patients who begin transition later or who simply want more fullness and projection than natural development provides.

At APS Gender Care in Bangkok, breast augmentation is performed by Dr. Rapeepat Sapruangthong (Dr. Tee), a specialist in breast augmentation, facial lipolifting, rhinopasty, and eyelid surery surgery with extensive experience across MTF and FTM procedures. APS offers four premium silicone implant options — from the trusted Mentor range to the technologically advanced Motiva Ergonomix — giving patients a wide choice of feel, shape, and projection level.

Unlike general cosmetic surgery clinics, APS approaches breast augmentation with a deep understanding of the MTF body. Trans women often have a broader chest wall, narrower existing breast tissue, and different shoulder-to-hip proportions than cisgender women — factors that directly influence implant selection, sizing, and placement. Dr. Tee accounts for all of these during your consultation to achieve the most natural, proportionate, and feminine result for your specific anatomy.

MTF Breast Implant Options Available at APS Bangkok: Explained

Mentor Silicone Implant

The Mentor silicone implant is one of the most established and widely used breast implants in the world. Made by a leading global manufacturer with decades of clinical data, Mentor offers a reliable, soft feel that closely resembles natural breast tissue. Its smooth surface is designed for consistent, predictable results across a wide range of body types.

One of Mentor’s key strengths is its range of projection profiles — from low to high — making it adaptable for patients with different chest widths, tissue coverage, and shape preferences. If you want a natural, feminine result without a particularly dramatic change in projection, Mentor provides an excellent, trusted foundation.

For MTF patients, Mentor is particularly well-suited to those seeking a soft result that feels and looks naturally feminine — a chest that simply belongs, without drawing obvious attention to the implant itself.

-Long clinical track record — trusted worldwide
-Multiple projection profiles for versatility
-Soft, natural feel

CONSIDERATIONS

-Less adaptive movement than Motiva options
-Does not adjust shape based on body position

Motiva Silicone Implant

Motiva implants represent the next generation of silicone breast implants, engineered with a focus on natural feel, long-term safety, and aesthetic refinement. Their defining feature is the SilkSurface — an exceptionally smooth outer shell designed to minimize friction against surrounding tissue, reduce the risk of capsular contracture, and feel as close to natural breast tissue as possible.

The Motiva gel is formulated to be soft and responsive, giving the breast a natural quality when touched or moved. Motiva’s shape profile is specifically designed to enhance upper-pole fullness — giving the chest a rounded appearance from the top — while still looking proportionate and natural rather than overly augmented.

For MTF patients seeking a modern implant that prioritizes feel and natural aesthetics, Motiva is one of the most consistently requested options at APS. The result reads as naturally feminine rather than surgically enhanced — which is exactly what many trans women are looking for.

SURFACE

SHAPE FOCUS

Very soft, adaptive

ADVANTAGES

-SilkSurface reduces capsular contracture risk
-Exceptionally soft, natural feel
-Enhances upper-pole fullness naturally

-Excellent choice for natural-looking MTF results

CONSIDERATIONS

-Higher price point than classic Mentor
-Does not adapt shape by body position (that is Ergonomix)

Mentor Extra Gel (High-Projection)

Mentor Extra Gel is a firmer, higher-projection version of the classic Mentor implant. While the standard Mentor prioritizes softness and natural feel across a range of projection levels, the Extra Gel formula uses a denser gel that provides greater structure, shape retention, and projection — resulting in a fuller, more defined chest appearance.

This implant is designed for patients who want a more noticeable augmentation result: a chest with clear fullness and visible shape rather than a subtle natural enhancement. The higher projection means the breast extends further forward from the chest wall, creating a rounder, more prominent profile.

For MTF patients who want a confident, feminine shape with clear visual impact — rather than the understated look of softer implants — Mentor Extra Gel delivers structure and definition alongside the trusted Mentor quality. It is a strong choice for patients with a broader chest wall who want the implant to make a visible statement.

SURFACE

Smooth silicone

PROJECTION

High — more defined shape

FEEL

Firmer, structured

ADVANTAGES

-High projection for a defined, fuller shape
-Greater shape retention than softer gel options
-Trusted Mentor manufacturer quality
-Good for patients wanting a more pronounced result
-Works well on broader chest frames

CONSIDERATIONS

-Firmer feel — less soft than standard Mentor or Motiva
-More noticeable result — not for patients wanting subtle enhancement

Motiva Ergonomix

The Motiva Ergonomix is the most advanced breast implant option available at APS — and one of the most sophisticated implants currently available anywhere. What sets it apart from every other option is its position-adaptive gel technology: the implant changes shape based on how you are positioned. When you lie down, the gel redistributes and the breast appears rounder and fuller. When you stand up, the gel settles downward and the breast naturally takes on a soft teardrop shape. This is exactly how natural breast tissue behaves.

This adaptive quality means the Motiva Ergonomix consistently produces the most natural-looking and natural-feeling result of any implant on the APS menu. In clothes, the silhouette looks feminine and proportionate. Without clothes, the shape responds to gravity and movement in the same way natural breasts do — something fixed, static implants cannot achieve.

For MTF patients who prioritize the most realistic outcome possible — patients for whom naturalness in every situation is the top priority — the Ergonomix is consistently the most sought-after choice. It combines all the benefits of the Motiva SilkSurface (very smooth, very soft, low capsular contracture risk) with the added dimension of true positional adaptation.

SURFACE

SilkSurface (very smooth)

UNIQUE FEATURE

Position-adaptive gel

SHAPE

Round lying, teardrop standing

ADVANTAGES

-Most natural look and movement of any implant option
-Behaves like natural breast tissue in all positions
-SilkSurface — very smooth, low capsular contracture risk
-Combines advanced technology with soft, natural feel
-Top choice for patients prioritizing complete naturalness

CONSIDERATIONS

-Premium price point — most expensive option at APS
-Subtle, natural result — not for patients wanting dramatic volume

★ Dr. Tee’s note on the Ergonomix: “The Ergonomix is the implant I most often recommend to patients who want to forget they have implants at all. In every position, in every outfit, the result simply looks like their body. For trans women in particular, that level of naturalness can be deeply meaningful.”

Fat Grafting — A Natural Alternative for Subtle Volume

In addition to silicone implants, APS also offers breast augmentation via fat grafting — a technique that uses your own body fat, harvested by liposuction from areas such as the abdomen or thighs, and transferred to the breast to add volume naturally.

Fat grafting is a good option for patients who prefer not to use implants, or for those wanting subtle enhancement rather than a significant size increase. Because it uses your own tissue, there is no implant, no foreign material, and no implant-related maintenance. The results feel entirely natural — because they are your own body.

The key consideration with fat grafting is volume: the technique can add approximately 200ml per breast per session, which corresponds to roughly one cup size. For patients wanting a more significant augmentation, implants are the more appropriate choice. Fat grafting can also be combined with implants in some cases to improve soft-tissue coverage and natural contour — Dr. Tee will advise on this during your consultation.

Breast Augmentation Surgery and Recovery at APS Bangkok

Breast augmentation at APS is performed under general anaesthesia with a 1-night clinic stay. Implants are placed either subglandularly (above the muscle) or submuscularly (beneath the pectoral muscle), depending on your anatomy, tissue coverage, and implant choice. Dr. Tee will explain the recommended placement during your consultation.

Most patients are discharged the following morning and begin their recovery in their hotel close to the clinic. We recommend a stay of 10–14 days in Thailand in total. This allows for initial swelling to reduce, wound checks, suture removal at 7–10 days, and a pre-departure assessment before flying.

A surgical bra or compression garment is worn for 4–6 weeks post-surgery to support healing and maintain implant position. Light activity resumes after 1–2 weeks. Strenuous exercise, lifting, and upper-body workouts are avoided for 6 weeks. Final implant shape and positioning settles over 3–6 months as swelling fully resolves.

APS provides daily nurse visits during your Bangkok recovery, a complete post-operative care guide, and remote follow-up access after you return home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Augmentation at APS Thailand

What breast implants are available for MTF patients at APS Thailand?

APS Gender Care offers four premium silicone implant options for MTF breast augmentation in Bangkok. We offer Mentor (classic, soft, versatile — available in multiple projection profiles). We also offer Motiva (next-generation SilkSurface implant with enhanced upper-pole fullness). Another implant type is Mentor Extra Gel (firmer, higher-projection option for patients wanting a more defined shape). Finally, we also offer Motiva Ergonomix (the most advanced option, featuring a position-adaptive gel that behaves like natural breast tissue — rounder when lying down, teardrop-shaped when standing). Dr. Tee will recommend the most suitable option based on your chest anatomy, existing tissue, body proportions, and aesthetic goals.

How much does breast augmentation cost in Thailand at APS?

Pricing varies by implant option. APS sends full pricing before your consultation — no commitment required to receive it. As a general guide, implant prices at APS range from entry-level Mentor through to the premium Motiva Ergonomix. All packages include surgery, general anaesthesia, 1-night clinic stay, and post-operative nursing care during your Bangkok recovery. To receive the current price list, contact APS via the consultation form below.

Which breast implant gives the most natural result for trans women?

The Motiva Ergonomix is widely regarded as the most natural-feeling and natural-looking implant available. It’s Dr. Tee’s top recommendation for patients whose primary goal is naturalness in every situation. Its position-adaptive gel responds to gravity in the same way natural breast tissue does — appearing rounder when lying down and settling into a teardrop shape when standing. Moreover, for patients wanting a softer natural look without the adaptive technology, the standard Motiva with SilkSurface is also an excellent choice. The “most natural” option depends on your specific anatomy — Dr. Tee assesses this during your free consultation.

How long do I need to stay in Thailand after breast augmentation?

We recommend staying in Thailand for 10–14 days after breast augmentation at APS. This covers your 1-night clinic stay, initial recovery, daily nurse visits, suture removal at 7–10 days, and a pre-departure medical check before you fly home. Long-haul flying within the first week is not recommended due to swelling and the risk of complications. APS arranges accommodation options close to the clinic and provides daily nursing support throughout your Bangkok recovery stay.

What is the difference between Motiva and Motiva Ergonomix?

Both Motiva and Motiva Ergonomix share the same SilkSurface outer shell and soft, adaptive gel. This means they give a similar feel when touched. The key difference is in how they behave with body movement. The standard Motiva maintains a consistent shape in all positions. The Ergonomix uses a more fluid, position-responsive gel that redistributes based on gravity.It appears rounder and fuller when lying flat, and naturally settles into a softer teardrop shape when upright. The Ergonomix more closely mimics the behaviour of natural breast tissue. Both are excellent choices — the right one depends on how much natural positional movement matters to you.

Can I combine breast augmentation with other procedures at APS?

Yes, in many cases. Common combinations at APS include breast augmentation with vaginoplasty, facial feminization surgery (FFS), or body contouring procedures. Combining surgeries requires careful planning to ensure patient safety and optimal recovery. Dr. Tee and APS’s leading sex change vaginoplasty surgeon Dr. Ae will assess whether a combination is appropriate for your health profile. Same-session combinations are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Is fat grafting a good option for MTF breast augmentation?

Fat grafting is a good option for patients who want subtle, natural volume enhancement without implants. However, it has a clear limitation in terms of size: approximately 200ml per breast per session, equivalent to roughly one cup size increase. It is best suited to patients who want modest augmentation and prefer a fully natural approach. For patients wanting more significant augmentation or a specific shape outcome, implants remain the more effective choice. In some cases, fat grafting can be used alongside implants to improve soft-tissue coverage and contour. Dr. Tee will advise on which approach suits your anatomy and goals.
