People coming in for a breast augmentation consultation

usually arrive with notebooks or notepads

filled with questions.

Which is better, implants or fat grafting?

Where should the incision be made so the scar is less visible?

How many cc would suit my body type?

These are, in fact, the questions

that are most frequently addressed during the first consultation.

But there is a reason these questions

can feel particularly difficult.

It is because the internet is full of

different opinions and accounts,

making it difficult to determine

which information applies to your individual circumstances.

At 글로비, we will honestly walk you through

key information that can be helpful to know

in advance of your consultation.

How to Choose Between Implants and Fat Grafting

Gangnam Breast Augmentation

Honestly, which one is better?

I heard fat grafting is the trend these days.

This is one of the first questions asked in the consultation room.

Whenever I hear this question,

I think about how confusing it must have been

because the information found online

is often contradictory.

To give you the conclusion first,

there is no answer that one method is unconditionally better.

That is because the two methods differ

in their purposes and suitability for different body types.

With implants, the doctor can precisely design the size and shape,

which makes them effective for reliably achieving

the intended volume.

For people with a relatively slim build

or insufficient fat for harvesting,

implant augmentation may be the more realistic option.

During the consultation, using Crisalix 3D simulation,

you can preview the postoperative silhouette in three dimensions

by implant type and size.

This can help organize vague concerns about size

in a visual way.

Once you see with your own eyes

the result you had only imagined,

the decision becomes much easier.

The greatest advantage of fat grafting

is that it uses your own fat,

so there is no concern about a foreign material

and the texture feels natural.

However, the increase is generally about half a cup to one cup,

so it is better suited to subtle corrections in volume and shape

than to a dramatic change.

By directly checking the skin thickness and the condition of the glandular tissue

in the consultation room, it becomes relatively clear

whether the conditions are sufficient for fat retention.

To be completely honest, we do not recommend fat grafting

to people with very little fat

or unsuitable tissue conditions.

If it would be difficult to achieve a volume close to what you expect,

we will tell you directly at that point

and look together for an approach

that better suits your body type.

Incision Locations:

What to Consider When You Are Concerned About Scars

Gangnam Breast Augmentation

Where should the incision be made to leave less of a scar?

Isn't the armpit incision always better?

Behind these questions, there is usually a feeling like this:

“I wish no one could tell

that my breast had been operated on.”

We fully understand that feeling.

Scarring is an unavoidable part of surgery,

and the key is where and how well it can be concealed.

An armpit incision does not leave a mark directly on the breast itself,

so it may create the least psychological burden.

This method is performed precisely using an endoscope

and is particularly recommended for people who are sensitive about scars

or who are unmarried.

However, if it is difficult to achieve the desired shape through the armpit

because of your body type, the incision method may be changed

after consultation.

Inframammary incisions have become more widely used

as implant sizes have increased in recent years.

After surgery, the scar is barely visible when standing

or wearing clothes,

and this method allows the inframammary fold to be shaped most precisely,

making it advantageous for inserting larger implants

and securing their position.

Periareolar incisions allow the height of the inframammary fold

to be adjusted flexibly during surgery,

so they are especially useful for correcting asymmetry

or in revision cases.

Another advantage is that they make it easier to create sufficient space

and dissect up to the upper part of the breast.

Regardless of the incision method selected, the goal for the final shape

is the same, but the more suitable option may vary

depending on the size of the areola and the structure of the rib cage.

It is difficult to conclude that “the armpit is always better”

before examining your actual body type.

We will explain everything candidly during the consultation

and work with you to find the incision approach

that best suits your individual circumstances.

If a breast augmentation consultation feels difficult,

it may simply be because you have not yet found information

that fits your individual circumstances.

It is 글로비's principle to explain openly

the potential side effects, the advantages and disadvantages of each surgical method,

and whether each option is suitable for the individual.

First accurately checking which method suits your body type now

is the fastest way to achieve satisfactory results

without unnecessary trial and error.

Please feel free to contact us for a consultation.

※ Breast augmentation results may vary depending on the individual's body type, tissue condition, and surgical method. Side effects such as capsular contracture, changes in sensation, and scarring may occur.
