Press Release Summary: Bangkok Hospital recently unveiled a special package that
offers breast reduction surgery for as little as 30% of the cost in the US. The
package could benefit over 113,000 women worldwide that have the procedure each
year.

Press Release Body: Bangkok Hospital recently unveiled a special package for breast
reduction patients, offering the surgery at as little as a third of the cost in the
US.

Elective patients can access breast reduction surgery at Bangkok Hospital for a
special price of 120,000TB, or around US$3,400 at current rates. This is 30% lower
than the minimum cost in the US, according to the Consumer Guide to Plastic Surgery.
It can be up to 70% lower than the maximum cost, depending on which state the
surgery is performed in.

The package includes:
# 1 nights accommodation on the surgical floor
# Operating Room charges
# Routine medication, medical equipment and medical supplies
# Anesthesia charges, including anesthesiologist, pre-anesthetic drugs, anesthesia
and medical gas
# Surgeon's fees

Advisory bodies frequently tell patients to ensure that a low-cost package will cost
as much as it claims, by ensuring that it covers the doctor's fee, the anesthesia
fee, and the facility fee: these are all included in Bangkok Hospital's package.

Breast reduction surgery alleviates chronic pain of the head, neck, back and
shoulders for thousands of women each year. It can also ease irritation of the skin
by brassiere straps, and allows physical activity that was previously impossible.
Plastic surgeons advise that "the psychological impact [of having very large,
pendulous breasts] should not be underestimated".

Breast reduction is often covered by medical insurance, and Bangkok Hospital is able
to deal with foreign insurance companies on a patient's behalf.
