Body Proportions You’ll Definitely Regret If You Only Increase the Size

Hello,

This is 글로비성형외과의원.

Breast Augmentation

A clinic that upholds the principles of plastic surgery, 글로비성형외과의원
The most important thing in plastic surgery is adhering to the basics. Procedures should be designed with the patient’s entire life in mind. Both the process and the results must be safe. 글로비 always puts patients first.
Consultation is an important step that leads to surgery. To help you be satisfied with your surgical results, we promise personalized consultations with medical professionals who have extensive clinical experience.
Postoperative care can also be considered an extension of the surgery. We provide personalized care programs to help patients recover quickly.

There are far more people than you might expect who ask us to increase the cc number before breast augmentation.

However, when we look at the common traits of those who ask after surgery, “Why does it look so strange?”,

in many cases, the cause is a size choice that did not take their body proportions into account.

In this article, we will go over the key factors that are easy to overlook when designing proportions,

along with practical information you should know about the recovery process after surgery.

Since this is much more fundamental than cost or before-and-after photos,

we recommend that you read it carefully before deciding on surgery.

Designing Implants to Suit Your Body: What Matters More Than cc

Breast Augmentation

Just make them as large as possible.

Whether it’s 300 cc or 350 cc,

can’t you put either one in?

It is possible to insert them.

It is not impossible.

But whenever I hear that request,

there is one thing I always ask first.

Do you know the width of your rib cage?

The true standard for determining size in breast surgery is

not the cc number, but the width of the rib cage.

If an implant that is too wide is placed in a body with a narrow rib cage,

the breasts may be pushed toward the armpits,

or the implant edges may become clearly visible.

Cases where people say, “They look like balls” or “They look like pot lids”

usually begin here.

Implants have a standard measurement called the “base width.”

This means that even among products with the same 300 cc volume,

some models are wider horizontally,

while others are narrower in width and more projected forward.

Just as shoes that do not fit your foot size look strange no matter how expensive they are,

implants that do not fit the rib cage produce an unnatural result.

In addition, projection—that is, how far the implant protrudes forward—must also be adjusted.

For people with a petite frame and thin skin and tissue,

excessively high projection can make the outline visible.

Therefore, designing these two measurements to suit the body is

the key part of the surgery.

This is why we first measure the width of the rib cage during consultation,

calculate the appropriate implant in advance, and select it accordingly.

It is also why we use a 3D virtual simulation program

to show how the implant may fit your own body before surgery.

If the skin is so thin that the outline is expected to show regardless of which implant is used,

we first recommend considering an alternative rather than surgery.

Our standard is to recommend surgery only when the conditions are in place

to achieve a natural result, even if it is smaller than the desired size.

Know the Recovery Process in Advance to Avoid Unnecessary Concern

Breast Augmentation

If I have surgery after work,

can I go to work the next day?

To be honest, going to work the next day is difficult.

For the first three days immediately after surgery, the breasts are compressed and secured with gauze and bandages,

which can make breathing somewhat uncomfortable and limit arm movement.

It becomes considerably easier only after you visit the clinic on the third day to have the bandages and pain-control injection removed.

Pain varies from person to person, but thanks to the pain-control injection,

many people describe it as a heavy, dull soreness rather than severe pain.

Swelling is usually at its worst on days 2 to 4,

and many people worry during this period that their breasts feel too large or firm.

This is a normal part of the recovery process.

It takes approximately six months for the final shape to settle,

and changes in nipple sensation or tingling sensations can also occur for the same reason,

so there is no need to become overly concerned.

For one week, sleep with your upper body slightly elevated,

as this may help reduce swelling.

Avoid sleeping on your side until after two weeks,

and avoid sleeping on your stomach for six months.

You may shower starting on the third day,

but saunas and baths should be postponed until after one month.

Exercise that places strain on the chest is permitted starting after two months.

As a general rule, alcohol and smoking should be avoided for one month after surgery.

Smoking in particular can constrict blood vessels and prevent antibiotics from properly reaching areas of inflammation,

so special caution is needed.

For a safe recovery, we strongly ask you to follow the no-smoking and no-alcohol guidelines during this period.

When dissatisfaction occurs after breast augmentation,

it is often because an excessive choice that did not suit the patient’s body was made during the preliminary design stage,

rather than because of the surgical technique itself.

Our principle at 글로비성형외과의원 is to transparently explain potential complications and cases in which surgery may not be suitable before proceeding.

If you would like to know how the procedure can be designed to suit your body,

please feel free to contact us.

※ Plastic surgery may cause side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, capsular contracture,

or changes in sensation depending on the individual, so caution is required.
