What is Breast Augmentation?

The female breast has been a symbol of feminity for decades. Thus, the focus is giving importance to its aesthetic form. The ideal size and shape of the breast can depend upon the individual’s build. Female breasts do not grow to the same size and shape; sometimes, some individuals have smaller than average breasts, colloquially referred to as flat-chested. They feel disappointed about the development of their breast. That’s why they resort to correction and reconstructive surgery.

Breast Augmentation is the reconstruction of the breast to balance the body profile into a proportionate figure. It enlarges the chest using the power of evolving medical devices such as breast implants. Since its introduction in the 1960s, breast augmentation has been a commonly performed cosmetic surgery. It has been proven clinically safe and effective in bringing volume and fullness to the once flat-chested with countless studies and research. With the correct assessment and the proper surgical techniques, breast augmentation can produce a positive outcome for the body image.

Are You A Good Candidate?

Seoul Guide Medical recommends breast augmentation surgery to those who:

  • are concerned about their small breasts and want to enhance this
  • have asymmetrical or uneven breast size
  • have experienced physical change due to weight loss or breastfeeding
  • are looking for more breast volume
  • have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery

Those who want to correct sagging breasts due to weight loss or pregnancy with breast surgery need to know that implants alone might not work. In some cases, you may need breast lifting as well.

Also, having realistic expectations is essential in this procedure. The surgeon may choose a different size, placement, or different type of implant from your choices. However, you do not need to be alarmed, for they have made calculated decisions depending on your body type. Our highly qualified surgeons have the best intentions, and they want what is best for you, more natural and realistic results.

How Do We Choose The Right Breast Implants For You?

At Seoul Guide Medical, we value your choices. We take into consideration your opinions. And we guide you to the right and best options available. Many breast implants are available in the market made of various base materials. However, some are not durable and are substandard. We offer only the best implants made of top-tier and high-quality products. Through implant simulation, a perfectly designed implant will be chosen for you by our esteemed doctors. Our board-certified plastic surgeons will be helping you decide what is right and what looks best on you. Silicone gel implants dominate the global market with the continuous development of their design and functionality.

Types of Breast Augmentation Implants

There is quite a variety of types that is available in the market. Depending on the feel, size, and shape, there will be a breast implant that perfectly fits you. The core of a successful breast augmentation is selecting the right breast implant. Although saline implants are also available, most plastic surgeons recommend medical-grade silicone gel implants. Silicone implants are said to be much more durable than saline ones.

The optimal breast implant comes in a size that would be appropriate to your body in terms of weight, skin thickness, body shape, and your needs and wants. For example, 150 cc – 200cc equals roughly 1-1.5 cup sizes, and for thin patients to get 300 cc implants would not look ideal to them. No matter how big your ambitions are, we focus on implants that can give you a more natural and realistic look. Having the right fit would not hinder your daily activities, and you will have long-term satisfaction with the size that best suits you. Each type of breast silicone implant comes in different shapes and surface textures.

1. Shape

It is ideal for those who already have sufficient lower half breast tissue but require more volume in the upper half of their chest. It provides a fuller and curvier look giving a more prominent cleavage. The implant filler material will spread outwards when you lay down, but the shape will remain similar whether standing or laying down.

Ideal for women with less breast tissue, anatomically shaped implants with more volume in their lower half. The look created is one of a gently sloping curve towards the nipple as natural breasts have. These implants provide less of a round look in the top half.

2. Surface

These are softer in feel and rounder in shape. Once implanted, you can move around more freely during activity because it is similar to natural breast tissue. Most patients choose this type of implant because of its natural look.

These were primarily introduced to maintain abreast implants position once filled, but the clinical use seemed to show a decreased incidence of capsular contracture. Most textured implants are round and teardrop-shaped as it mostly adheres to the breast tissue because of their surface design.

FAQs

When Can I Return To My Normal Daily Life After Surgery?

Generally, you can return to your daily routine after one week; however, it depends on your definition of a daily routine. When your everyday life consists of a light workload such as desk and office work, one week of recovery time will be enough for you. But if your routine consists of a heavy workload such as walking and traveling daily, your recovery time may be longer than usual. We recommend that you consult and discuss what is best for you with your physician before your discharge.

 

Will There Be Side Effects After My Breast Surgery?

Like any major surgery, there will always be risks. Your doctor thoroughly discusses these risks and precautions before you undergo breast surgery. Boob jobs in Korea are generally safe procedures with minimal side effects. Side effects after your breast surgery include bruising, swelling, and pain. Capsular contracture is also a widely known complication of breast augmentation surgery where the capsular firmness is formed around the breast implant. Postoperative massage can help reduce the risk of capsular contracture. At Seoul Guide Medical, our surgeons are experts in minimizing such side effects.

 

When Can I Start Wearing A Bra?

There are no specific rules prohibiting patients from wearing a bra after their breast surgery. However, it is essential to note that incorrect wearing of bras immediately after your boob job may cause unnecessary constriction leading to a distorted breast shape. Therefore, we recommend that wearing your bras should be put off for a month. Instead, you should wear a fixable bra at least 14 days after your boob job. Much later, you can also opt to use nipple pads or tapes that are becoming a trend nowadays.

Breast Augmentation – Your Guide by Seoul Guide Medical

By | Plastic Surgery | No Comments

Have you ever wanted more voluptuous breasts? Breast Augmentation is a surgery specially designed for people who seek to enlarge their breasts, correct their asymmetry and more!

Breast augmentation surgery can come in the form of breast implants and breast fat grafting. The former provides more of a size increase and options. The latter provides a smaller size increase and has limitations. This article, carefully written by the experts at Seoul Guide Medical, contains everything you need to know about breast enlargement surgery.

What Is Breast Implant Augmentation?

Breast implant augmentation, also known as mammoplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure where a surgeon reshapes, reconstructs and or enlarges the breast with an implant. This creates an aesthetically pleasing chest area according to the needs and wants of the patient. An alternative method to increase breast size is via fat grafting which is also known as breast fat transfer. Fat is taken from another part of your body, via liposuction, and is processed and grafted into the needed areas. This can result in a half or one cup size increase usually and requires two fat grafting sessions done more than 4 weeks apart and less than 12 weeks apart. Studies have shown that breast augmentation has the highest satisfaction rate of any plastic surgery procedure with implants being the go to method over fat grafting. A study done by Figueroa-Hass used the Female Sexualty Function Index and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale to examine differences before and after breast augmentation surgery. The study found a massive increase of 76% in self-esteem and self-confidence. Sexual satisfaction increased 57%, sexual arousal increased 81% and sexual desire increased 78.6% after breast augmentation surgery. 

What To Expect From The Surgery

There are a few things to consider when planning out breast augmentation: implant location, the kind of implant used, the texture, the size of the implant, the incision point, the patient’s body limitations and the patient’s wants. If you want to see how the progression of implants works, click here to see the results after 5 weeks, click here to see different results after 1 week  click here  and click here to see our patient’s 2 year update after her implants. 

Implant Placement

Breast implants can be placed below or above the pectoral muscle wall. If the implant goes behind (or under) the muscle, it is called submuscular placement. Alternatively, the implant can be placed above the chest muscle and this is known as subglandular placement. 

 

What’s Better? Over the Muscle or Under the Muscle Placement?

The best placement method for breast implants is the one that is right for you. There is no placement that is best for everyone. Submuscular (over the muscle) places the implant behind the pectoralis major muscle (chest muscle). At Seoul Guide Medical, we recommend that this is a good option for women with small amounts of natural breast tissue. Because the breast implant is placed underneath the muscle, the implants will be supported by that muscle and be covered by the muscle and the additional breast tissue over that muscle. This will lead to more natural results for patients with little natural breast tissue. It is important to note that for patients with severe sagging of the breasts (caused by breastfeeding or aging), under the muscle placement may not be ideal. This is because the muscle sits on the upper portion of the chest and if the breasts have drooped past the chest muscle then placing implants below the chest muscle will cause the implants to look too high in relation to the natural breast tissue. In this case, above the muscle implants are more advisable. You should note that this is a more intensive surgery than above the breast implants and will require a slightly longer recovery time and can be a bit more involved. For women who are competitive bodybuilders and will be doing heavy weight chest exercises, above the muscle implants will be better. 

Subglandular or above the muscle implants only uses the body’s natural breast tissue to cover the implant. For women who have a high amount of natural breast tissue, this option is more ideal. In order to have natural looking implants, having enough coverage of the implant is crucial. If there is enough fat tissue to cover them, then an over the muscle approach can be used. If there is not enough fat tissue to cover the implants then an under the muscle placement should be used. Because the chest muscle is not operated on, there is less discomfort after surgery. There is also no risk for bodybuilders with this approach. You should note that this method has a bit more risk in terms of wrinkles, folds and rippling risk when compared to under the muscle placement as the chest muscle provides more coverage. Issues like those mentioned above are more likely to happen with patients who have little breast tissue naturally. 

Breast Implant Incision Methods 

There are 3 main areas where plastic surgeons can make incisions from: the breast fold, the areola and the armpit area. There is an option from the belly button but this is not normally done as the results can be hampered due to the complexity of the surgery. 

  • Breast fold, or inframammary incision

This incision is made underneath the breast fold. The breast naturally folds above the abdomen. An incision underneath the breast fold is the most straightforward method, allows for a shorter surgery and recovery time and can accomodate any size of implant that the body will accept. This incision method is also recommended for revision surgery cases  or if you want to have larger implants. This method has the lowest rate of complications. The scar fades over time but will be slightly noticeable if you look closely. Luckily you only see it when the breast is lifted and you are looking straight ahead or up at the breasts.

  • Areola, or Periareolar Incision

The incision is made along the nipple area (usually along the lower half). This incision creates a scar that follows the areola making it almost invisible. This is because the incision is made along the line where the color naturally changes from lighter skin to darker nipples and thus the scar is hidden well. Recovery is quick and there is less pain associated with this placement after surgery. This method is usually reserved for placing smaller implants and you have a risk of loss of sensation in the nipples.  

  • Armpit, or Transaxillary Incision

The incision is made in the armpit folds, which makes sure the scar is virtually invisible and hidden away. This method has limitations on implant size but is great if you are worried about excess scarring. Patients with more melanin (more pigment in their skin) will show more scarring than those with less melanin. Thus, patients who are worried about scarring should consider this method.

Types of Breast Implants

There are different types of breast implants a doctor can use. Seoul Guide Medical can determine what implant would suit your body best during your on-line and in-clinic consultations.  As with implant placement and incision points, there is no one best type of implant for everyone. What is best is what suits your body best. Click here and here to watch two different patients’ processes and their explanations. 

Different Shapes

Although there are variations, you can consider that there are two main shapes to choose from:

  • Round
  • Teardrop (anatomical)

Women who already have sufficient lower half breast tissue but require more volume in the upper half of their chest are ideal candidates for round shaped implants. This round shape creates more volume in the upper half and thus more cleavage. It provides a fuller, curvier look. Women who initially have more breast tissue are ideal candidates for round implants over women with naturally little breast tissue. When you lay down, the implant filler material will spread outwards but the shape will remain similar whether standing or laying down.

Women who have less breast tissue naturally are good candidates for teardrop shaped implants. These are anatomically shaped implants with more volume in their lower half. The look created is one of a gently sloping curve towards the nipple as natural breasts have. These implants provide less of a round look in the top half. For women who want to have the absolutely most natural implants in terms of movement and feel then Motiva may be a good option. These implants follow your natural movements. When you lay down, the implant holds a round shape and when you stand up they form a natural looking sloped silhouette. They are also extremely natural to the touch. You should note that these implants will cost you more than other implants but it may be worth it to you.  

Different textures

A breast implant can be smooth or  textured. 

Smooth Type

The smooth type breast implant is very soft to the touch and can move within the breast implant pouch created by the surgeon during surgery. This means that the movement can mimic natural breast movement better. 

Smooth breast implants are described by plastic surgeons as being the softest feeling. They can move within the breast implant pouch, which may provide more natural movement.

On the other hand, textured breast implants cause scar tissue to develop and stick to the implant, which makes them less likely to move and shift position.

Silicone gel-filled and saline implants can be smooth or textured because the texturing is on the surface of the implant, regardless of what the implant is filled with.

This implant type feels soft to the touch and can rotate inside the breast pocket. It’s easy to place, and it’s also easy to correct if there are any complications. 

Textured Type

With this implant, the breast implant is textured. This allows the surrounding tissue to connect better with the implant and fixes the implant in place. 

What is great about this type of implant is that there’s not much possibility for the rupture of the implant and capsular contracture. Capsular contracture can occur when the implant’s scar tissue causes the implant to deform. It can affect the form, texture, and feeling of the breast. With a textured type breast implant, the chance of this happening is low. The shape change possibility is also common.

Which type of implant is the best for you can be best decided through a careful examination by one of the plastic surgeons. 

Different inside textures 

Now that we have talked about the outside texture let’s also talk about the inside texture. There are two types of texture used for the implants. 

  1. Saline
  2. silicone gel

In Korea, it’s not common to use saline implants. It has been used in the past, but breast implants have improved a lot, and there are better alternatives now. Here is where the silicone implants come in. 

Silicone implants mimic the feel of actual breast tissue and, therefore, a more natural breast. Also, if the implants happen to rupture, which doesn’t happen very often, you won’t notice it at first. The implant would reduce in size with the saline implants, and you’d see it right away. With the silicone ones, the silicone isn’t a liquid, so if by any chance happens to rupture, the silicone will stay inside the breast pocket, and the size will not reduce.

Alternatives to implants

A commonly used method for people who don’t want a significant change but a very minor one, fat transfer surgery could also be an option. Fat is taken from the back of your thigh or belly and transferred to the breast area. This gives you a very natural but slim improvement, like 0,5 or 1 cup size up. If you are thin and don’t have enough fat to transfer, this method is challenging to perform. 

Am I the Right Candidate?

Breast augmentation surgery is recommended to those who:

  • have small breasts and want to enhance this
  • have asymmetrical and/or uneven breast size
  • have small and/or sagging breasts due to breastfeeding
  • have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery

Those who have sagging breasts and want to correct this by breast augmentation need to know that implants alone might not work. In some cases, you may need breast lifting as well.

Also, having realistic expectations is essential in this procedure. The surgeon may choose a different size, placement, or different type of implant depending on your body type. If this happens, don’t be alarmed since they have the best intentions in mind, and they are looking for the most natural results.

What Is the Best Option For Me?

As you can see, there are different things to think about when getting breast implants. These are all options that can be combined or not. Remember, the ultimate goal is to have natural-looking breasts, and what works for someone else might not work for you, and vice versa. A consultation with a certified plastic surgeon is always needed before deciding on a type of breast implant.

At Seoul Guide Medical, we are happy to help and assist in your choice. We work together with only the top 1% of plastic surgeons, ensuring your complete safety. We go with you to every consultation and advise you on the most suitable choice for you.

What Is The Surgery Time and Recovery Period for Implants

The placement of the implants takes about 1-3 hours. You will be under general anesthesia, which means you’ll be asleep during the surgery, and therefore it won’t be painful.

  • After 2-3 days, it’s possible to continue to shower and enjoy your everyday life. This could differ if you got the under the breast incision or around the areola incision.  
  • About 2 weeks after the surgery, the stitches will be removed. We will give you some tips on taking care of your breasts after the surgery, which will usually include using a prescribed scar cream and wearing the right bra. After the surgery, you’ll have to wear a garment to support your breasts. Still, after 2 weeks, you can either wear a sports bra or a bra with a long enough underwire to give your breasts the support they need to heal in the right place. We’ll also check the progress in this aftercare session and give you a high-frequency treatment to quicken the healing progress. Please note that in some cases, there are no stitches to remove.
  • 1 month after the surgery, you’ll get another progress check, and swelling of the breasts starts to go down. At the clinic, we also use an ultrasound device to see if the healing progress on the inside of the breasts is also improving. 
  • After 3 months, most of the swelling should be gone, but it isn’t until 1-2 years until you’ll see the end result. 
  • After 6 months till 1 year, we examine your breasts on the outside and inside to make sure everything is healing the way it should, and we work on scar laser management.

What Are The Costs?

It really depends on what kind of surgeon you choose, the surgery length, its complexity, the type of breast implant and more.  We’ve seen cases go from anywhere from 4000 USD to 20,000 USD. It’s really hard to narrow the pricing range past this point without having a detailed consultation with our staff.

FAQ

Will The Silicone Implants Rupture If I Lay On My Stomach?

The silicone implants undergo a lot of testing. The test includes a lot of things and also heavy resistance tests. An example can be where the testers throw something serious on the implant and see whether it ruptures or not.

How Much Time Do I Need to Go Back to Work?

This question isn’t easy to answer since it depends on what kind of job you have. If you have a position where you sit behind your desk, you don’t need much recovery time. On the other hand, if you have a job where you walk around all day and require lifting of any kind, the recovery time is longer. Always discuss this with your plastic surgeon to be entirely sure when you’re able to go back to work.

What Are the Side Effects of Breast Surgery?

Breast augmentations are very safe procedures, where only a few patients experience side effects. Side effects can include bruising, swelling, and some pain. For the first few days, you will be on pain medication to ensure you’re as comfortable as you can be.

Breast Augmentation Incision Types in korea

Breast Augmentation – Incision Types

By | Plastic Surgery | No Comments

To fully understand Breast Augmentation, general knowledge of the different incision techniques used during Breast Augmentation surgery is very helpful. Every woman who chooses to undergo Breast Augmentation has different desires but also a different body type. Depending on the type of implants, size, and breast anatomy, a different technique will be applied to reach the desired result of every individual. 

Inframammary Fold
Trans-axillary Incision Technique
Periareolar Technique,
Transumbilical

What are Breast Augmentation and Incision Types?

Breast Augmentation, also known as mammoplasty, is cosmetic plastic surgery for breast enlargement, delivering an aesthetically pleasing breast area. This procedure is prevalent among women of all ages, as it boosts up one’s self-image and self-confidence. There are different types of implants, such as Silicone Implants or Saline Implants coming in all shapes and sizes. For more detailed information about Breast Augmentation, please read our article on this topic here.

Breast Implants play a considerable role in the decision of what exact Incision Technique will be used during Breast Augmentation Surgery. There are four unique approaches to insert an Implant. An inframammary fold incision (FMI) is an operative technique where the incision is made in the crease under your breast. One of the most popular approaches is the trans-axillary incision positioned under the arm. Another popular incision technique is called the periareolar incision around the nipple. Lastly, a precise method is the Trans Umbilical Breast Augmentation Incision Technique (TUBA), where the incision is made through the belly button.

Benefits of each Breast Augmentation Incision Type

Every Breast Augmentation Incision Type has its advantages. The plastic surgeon considers each benefit to decide on which Incision method will be the best for the patient. 

The Inframammary Fold

The inframammary fold incision allows more favorable visibility and operational control. The operative time using the FMI technique is shorter compared to other incision types, and recovery is enhanced. There is also a very low rate of complications or reapportions.

The trans-axillary incision

The trans-axillary incision is a technique many patients opt for since there is minimal to no visible scarring. The scar near the armpit is so small that it is impossible to see. The results are optimal with a shorter healing time. 

The periareolar incision

The periareolar incision allows the exact placement of the implant as the surgeon works directly through the nipple. Besides, there is minimal scarring hidden between the areola and skin, making the scar blend in naturally. 

The transumbilical technique

The transumbilical technique type is less invasive than it appears at first. It has the advantage of a single, well-hidden, remote incision. The surgeon can control the position of the implant by outside visualization, avoiding any deformities. There is far less scarring and a shorter recovery time than with the other three incision types. 

Breast Augmentation Process: Incision Types

Every Breast Augmentation Incision has a different approach while being performed. Depending on the type, size, and shape, the procedure process varies from patient to patient using the most suitable implant insertion technique. All incisions are marked before applying general anesthesia. The incision is closed using sutures.

  • First, the inframammary fold is a general approach that is used during Breast Augmentation Surgery and Breast Augmentation Revision Surgery. The incision is made under the breast, and the implant is inserted vertically. It is mostly used with anatomically shaped implants because they allow the surgeon to place the implant properly and reposition it as needed. This incision type preserves the anatomy if the milk ducts. Keep in mind that there will be a temporary scar underneath your breast fold. This incision is advised for patients who have already had children or are a little older since there will be a small amount of natural sag in the breast, which allows the incision to be well hidden. 
  • The trans-axillary incision technique is made in the armpit area. This method nowadays is done together with an endoscope camera for more precise performance. A small cut will be done to the armpit, and a channel will be created to the breast. The implant is inserted through the channel and precisely positioned. There is no interference with nerves or vessels. This type of incision technique is more complicated than the previous one as the incision is farther than the previous method. However, thanks to the endoscope camera, the results are also great-looking. Trans-axillary incision is ideal for patients with minimal ptosis, asymmetric, or tubular breasts that do not opt for very large implants. It is also often used for thin women and younger women that have little to no breast sag. 

 

  • The most commonly used incision method in Breast Augmentation and Breast Augmentation Revision Surgery is the periareolar technique, also known as the nipple incision. The incision is made at the point where the areola and skin meet. This allows for the tiny scar that will be made to blend in and practically be invisible. The implant will be inserted while being rolled up in a sleeve to avoid bacterial infections. Once the implant is in its place, the sleeve will be removed. As the periareolar technique is so close to the breast, the surgeon can perfectly insert the implant. 

 

  •  Lastly, the final method is the transumbilical approach through the belly button. The incision is made in the rim of the belly button. An endoscope camera is used to create a tunnel under the skin, up to the backside of the breasts. As the skin on the belly is more elastic than on other body parts, mainly where different incisions are carried out, a tunnel can be created without problems. The implant is inserted by rolling it up and pushing up through the tunnel until it is in the correct place. TUBA incision technique has less recovery time and scaring as the other three types of incisions. TUBA is an excellent approach for correcting tubular breast deformity, and it is also a very safe and effective method to use during Breast Augmentation. Keep in mind that TUBA incision is rarely used and can be used only with Saline Implants as they can be filled after the implant is inserted. 

The right incision type will be chosen during a consultation with the plastic surgeon. He will consider the implants, the patient’s anatomy, and the patients’ desire to deliver the best breast augmentation results possible with minimal to no scarring.
