Breast surgery

Breast augmentation with implants

Implant size and shape are chosen from breast base width, tissue thickness and overall body proportion, along with a submuscular or subglandular pocket.

Who it suits

  • Small breasts or deflation after breastfeeding
  • Breast asymmetry
  • Wants a clear size increase in one operation

Technique highlights

  • Base width measured before implant selection
  • Inframammary, axillary or periareolar approach per case
  • Periodic ultrasound follow-up

Surgical steps

  • Consultation and breast measurement
  • Implant placed sub- or supra-muscularly
  • Compression garment and scheduled follow-up

Recovery & aftercare

  • One night of inpatient care for implant surgery
  • Compression garment worn as prescribed
  • Recommended stay in Korea of 7-10 days
  • No heavy lifting or intense exercise for 4-6 weeks

Risks & things to consider

  • Results depend on the individual's anatomy, skin condition and after-care
  • Always disclose medical conditions, medication and allergies before treatment
  • Every procedure carries risks and possible complications; consult a specialist before deciding

Frequently asked questions

Can I breastfeed afterwards?

Usually yes, especially with an approach that avoids the glandular tissue.

Do implants need replacing?

Modern implants have no fixed replacement interval, but regular checks are needed and replacement follows any problem.
