Facing a second surgery you didn’t plan for is stressful enough, and an Australian revision quote often makes the cost feel out of reach, especially after what you already spent the first time. That’s usually when people start looking at what the same procedure costs in Vietnam.
COS MEDCONNECT coordinates breast revision surgery in Ho Chi Minh City for Australian clients, so here’s a straight answer on the cost.
How Much Does Breast Revision Cost in Vietnam vs Australia?
In Australia, more complex breast revision surgery typically starts from around $11,000 AUD and can exceed $20,000 AUD.
In Vietnam, the surgical fee starts from $4,000 AUD for implant removal, or $8,500 AUD if you’re replacing them, confirmed exactly after your surgeon assesses your case.
Once you add your recovery package, return flights, and a visa, most clients can expect a total trip somewhere in the $8,000 AUD to $12,000 AUD range. The exact figure depends on which procedure you need.
See our full cost breakdown for a Vietnam surgery trip for how those add up.
Breast Revision Pricing in Vietnam:
As every revision case is unique, the cost will depend on the procedures required. Below are our indicative surgical fees through COS MEDCONNECT:
Procedure | Surgical fee (from) |
Implant removal (explant) | $4,000 AUD |
| Implant removal and replacement | $8,500 AUD |
| Capsular contracture or complex revision | Personalised quote |
Removing implants without replacing them is the simpler path: less surgical time, no new implants to account for. Replacing them costs more, since you’re paying for the new implants and the extra surgical time to place them.
Why Breast Revision Costs Less in Vietnam
Revision surgery in Vietnam is cheaper because the hospital lease, the surgical team’s salaries, and every other running cost behind the scenes are priced for Vietnam, not Australia.
Your surgeon is just as qualified, and the implants cost the same, wherever you are. The gap sits entirely in what it takes to keep a hospital running day to day.
Is Breast Revision in Vietnam Safe?
Yes, COS MEDCONNECT works only with surgeons who hold specialist training in plastic and reconstructive surgery, in hospitals licensed by Vietnam’s Ministry of Health.
Revision cases, including working around existing scar tissue and a prior implant, are reviewed in detail with your surgeon before you travel.
Breast Revision Recovery: Vietnam vs at Home
Recovery timing depends on your case. Straightforward removals often clear for flying sooner, while removal and replacement or more complex revisions can run up to 14 days. Your surgeon confirms the exact timeline once they’ve assessed you.
You don’t have to recover alone either. Bringing someone with you is an option, and your coordinator checks in daily on top of that throughout your stay.
Once you’re home, follow-up continues at six weeks, three months, six months, and twelve months, so your recovery is monitored well past the trip itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can breast revision surgery correct?
Revision can address capsular contracture, implant rupture, displacement, asymmetry, and changes after pregnancy or weight fluctuation. It also covers removing implants entirely or swapping them for a different size or profile.
Will my breasts look flat after implant removal?
Appearance after removal depends on your tissue, implant size, and how long they were in place. Your surgeon discusses what to expect for your individual case, and a lift can sometimes be considered alongside removal.
How long do I stay in Vietnam for a revision?
Most clients stay 8 to 14 days. Your surgeon confirms when you are cleared to fly home rather than working to a fixed date.
