Planing on having breast augmentation procedure in Philippines?
Here is some General Information about Philippines:

Philippines Faith

The Philippines is by far the largest Christian country in Asia. The Catholic faith remains the single biggest legacy of three hundred years of Spanish colonial rule. Catholicism is still taken quite seriously in the Philippines. Masses still draw crowds from the biggest cathedrals in the metropolis to the smallest parish chapels in the countryside. During Holy Week, most broadcast TV stations close down or operate only on limited hours and those that do operate broadcast religious programmes. The Catholic Church also still exerts quite a bit of influence even on non-religious affairs such as affairs of state. Mores are changing slowly, however; Filipinos are now slowly accepting what were previously taboo issues in as far as Catholic doctrine is concerned, such as artificial birth control and the dissolution of marriage vows.?

Philippines Breast Augmentation - The Plastic Surgery Procedure

The plastic surgery operation is usually done when the breast reaches its final size after puberty (ages 17-18). Except for cases when there is congenital breast hypoplasia or breast asymmetry in which it can be done earlier (local regulations in Philippines may be applicable).

Philippines breast augmentation - the implants
There are three possible areas for the insertion of an implant for augmentation. The lower fold of the breast is the most common site. It allows full excess and lives a hidden scar. The second site is through the areola. This incision gives the best esthetic results but it is also the only one that goes through the breast tissue therefore the risk of infection and sensation loss is higher. The third one is through the armpits. Some plasit surgeons prefer it because the scar is almost invisible (except for those women who like to wear open close with no sleeves(. The disadvantage of this incision is a slight asymmetry of the breast. The decision usually made individually with each woman and the plastic surgeon (consult local Philippines surgeons).

The augmentation implant can be inserted above or below the chest muscles. The below position considered to be more preferable by most Philippines surgeons. There is less chance of feeling the implant, less chance of developing irregular folds or bumps on the surface of the breast and the implant is less likely to drop. This kind of plastic surgery technique is suitable for women with relatively little extra skin and less fallen breasts.

Most of the implants are made of silicon, and since the FDA determined that they safe for use they are being widely used by most plastic surgeons in Philippines.

Philippines breast augmentation - Tip of the day:
The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons,The not-for-profit organisation established for the advancement of education and practice of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery for public benefit, denounced a website offering free breast augmentations as ‘degrading’ and warned British women that the process was entirely inappropriate for what should be a life-changing decision. The BAAPS have learned that UK women are being lured into joining the ‘myfreeimplants.com’ site, where they post photos of themselves and a personal profile, meant to entice men to donate money to pay for their breast augmentation surgery.

Philippines breast augmentation - shape and size
The augmentation implants come in two shapes: round and pear shape also called "anatomic implants" because their shape resembles the natural contour of the breast. They are more expensive and require larger excision during the breast augmentation plastic surgery procedure.

The size of an implant usually depends on the woman size and proportions, the average size is 300cc. It is believed that smaller implants have lower complications.

Philippines breast augmentation - News update:
A ‘blog’ produced by the National Prescribing Centre (NPC) and posted on its website (NPCi) discusses QRISK – a new cardiovascular disease risk scoring system that was developed specifically for use in the UK. A validation study for this system was published recently in the journal ‘Heart’; the study abstract and the calculator itself can be accessed via the links above. The blog discusses the calculator and the validation study, and discusses its place in comparison with the Framingham method in predicting cardiovascular risk in the general population. The author of the blog concludes (taken directly from the website): “Health professionals should be aware of the ongoing debate, and also that Framingham-based tools may over-predict CV risk in some sections of the UK population, but not others, such as those in high risk groups (e.g. socio-economically deprived, people of South Asian descent, those with a family history of CV events, etc). Even with these caveats, as the draft NICE full guideline on lipid modification says - estimates of CVD risk derived from equations are not an exact science but are better than clinical judgment alone for the estimation of CVD risk. Of course, health professionals need to take into account patient circumstances and wishes. It would be foolish to have an iron rule that (whatever tool is used) someone with a 19.9% predicted risk can never receive prophylaxis, but someone with a 20.1% risk must always receive prophylaxis. The most important thing is to correctly use a validated tool – be it Framingham, ASSIGN or QRISK as a basis for discussion with patients and not to treat on the basis of individual risk factors.” More...
