Breast Augmentation Shape and Touch Are Essential, but Safety Is a Must!

Are you considering breast augmentation?

Breast surgery is often considered a procedure with a high post-surgery satisfaction rate, but concerns about the operation and the financial burden of breast augmentation costs are also relatively greater than with other cosmetic surgeries. In particular, because prices vary widely by hospital, from the 2 million KRW range to the 10 million KRW range, it is natural to feel even more uncertain. So, what should be considered for a safe and successful breast surgery result?

First of all, it is important to accurately understand your body type. For example, if the breasts are naturally small, or if there is volume loss and sagging due to childbirth and breastfeeding, breast surgery should not simply aim to increase breast size. It must consider both aesthetic and functional aspects. Before surgery, through examinations and sufficient consultation with the medical team, the individual’s needs for change should be communicated accurately so that the appropriate implant selection, design, and aftercare are carried out based on a systematic system.

Essential checklist before breast augmentation!

• Is the medical team highly experienced, with long-term expertise and abundant clinical experience in this difficult procedure?

• Does the hospital have a ONE-STOP-SYSTEM from preoperative testing to breast screening?

• Is collaborative care being carried out by specialists in each field (plastic surgery, anesthesiology and pain medicine, general surgery, radiology)?

• Does the hospital have a variety of implants?

• Is individualized aftercare available after surgery?

To make it easier for patients to move between departments, View Plastic Surgery is set up so that consultation, testing, and treatment can all be received in one stop, allowing private one-on-one consultations and care without inconvenience. In addition, there is a separate floor dedicated to breast augmentation, making consultations available in a more comfortable atmosphere.

In-house screening center

With its own screening center, the hospital operates a one-stop system from preoperative tests to postoperative checkups in one building, providing safe surgery and a systematic aftercare system.

From consultation to screening, surgery, recovery, and management

Pre- and postoperative tests are performed with an optimized system.

Breast screening: breast ultrasound, mammography, MammoTome

*The screening is performed directly by a general surgeon.

*Whether breast screening is performed may vary by individual.

View Plastic Surgery has the advantage that patients preparing for breast augmentation do not need to separately find a hospital for breast screening, and can receive pre- and post-breast augmentation screening all at once within View Plastic Surgery in a one-stop manner.

The "View" premium breast screening is performed directly by a general surgeon specializing in breast disease. Through pre- and post-breast augmentation screening, it checks for breast cancer and breast lesions. If treatment is needed for a breast lesion, surgery ranging from biopsy to removal is possible using the MammoTome equipment used at university hospitals. After breast surgery, regular follow-up examinations using mammography and breast ultrasound are performed to check the condition of the implants, capsular contracture, and the presence of breast cancer, and diagnosis and preventive care are provided accordingly.

View's systematic breast augmentation

1. UIU Design

Full UU breast shape, natural I-line cleavage

At "View," after comprehensively checking the patient’s height, chest circumference, ribcage shape, and degree of sagging, the clinic completes beautiful breasts with the most suitable method and implant for each individual, using volume proportions and techniques tailored to the current breast condition and personal preferences.

2. VIEW's technique built on long clinical experience

Breast surgery at View Plastic Surgery is carried out through collaboration between experienced plastic surgery specialists who are highly knowledgeable about breast augmentation and general surgery (breast screening) medical staff with a strong understanding of breast cancer reconstruction, making not only breast augmentation but also reconstruction surgery, breast implant removal, and breast revision surgery possible.

In addition, through the know-how and techniques accumulated over years of clinical experience, the breast pocket is dissected in a 360-degree multidimensional manner to create a natural shape not only from the front but also from the side. By placing 2/3 of the implant beneath the muscle and 1/3 beneath the glandular tissue, the muscle covers the implant once, allowing for a soft feel similar to real breasts.

3. One-day breast augmentation

Because the surgery time is short, tissue damage is reduced, which reduces swelling, bruising, bleeding, and pain. Since no drainage bag is used, recovery is faster and same-day discharge is possible.

4. 1:1 customized surgery

Through close consultation with the medical team, "View" recommends an incision method that can create the most beautiful breast shape by considering everyday lifestyle patterns, individual chest size and skeletal structure, and the desired breast shape and size.

CASE 01. Inframammary fold incision

Recommended for those who want a faster recovery. The surgery inserts the implant after making an incision of about 3 to 4 cm along the inframammary fold.

CASE 02. Axillary incision

Recommended for those concerned about visible scars. The surgery inserts the implant after making an incision of about 2 to 4 cm along the armpit crease line.

5. Precise dissection, minimized pain

Through high-resolution FULL HD endoscopy, a clear field of view is secured so that only the space appropriate for the implant size is precisely dissected, reducing damage to blood vessels and tissue, preventing capsular contracture, and minimizing bleeding and postoperative pain by reducing damage to surrounding tissues. In addition, using Keller Funnel 2 helps prevent infections that may occur during surgery and allows the implant to be inserted safely and smoothly with relatively little irritation.

Introducing View's various implants

Motiva

Motiva breast implants naturally spread when lying down and naturally fall downward when standing, allowing them to have a shape closest to that of real breasts. The nano-textured silk surface reduces friction-related inflammation and foreign-body sensation, and capsular contracture or allergic reactions are rare.

In addition, the implant surface is equipped with "BlueSeal" technology, which allows visual confirmation of the product’s safety status, further enhancing safety.

Mentor

Mentor implants are finished products that include not only the inner silicone but also the outer shell, and their safety has been verified through approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). By adjusting the amount of silicone filler, the chest circumference and size can be customized for various cases, and even those with a smaller chest frame can expect a fuller volume effect.

Mentor MemoryGel Xtra is designed with a strong shell that prevents leakage and rupture of the internal silicone gel and increases the fill rate to reduce dimple formation, where the upper part of the implant appears sunken, and rippling, where wrinkles form on the implant, resulting in a more natural shape and feel.

Sebbin

Sebbin has a smooth surface and form-memory gel, giving it a feel and elasticity most similar to the human body while reducing implant side effects. In addition, Sebbin Integrity is safe even under 40% more pressure than international standard specifications, and its soft, stretchable, and naturally restoring memory-type gel offers the advantage of high shape integrity, remaining safe even after strong impact.

Because it comes in various sizes and shapes, the range of options is broader, allowing for individualized breast shapes, and since the shell and gel are integrated into one piece, the risk of filler exposure is very low.

The 19-story ALL-IN-ONE smart building "View"

View Plastic Surgery is a 19-story ALL-IN-ONE smart building, equipped with university-hospital-level medical devices and a safety system that can respond quickly to emergencies. In addition, with safe surgery as its basic principle, it always places patient safety first and continues to make efforts to provide greater peace of mind by introducing a real-name surgery certification system.

Safety anesthesia system

A specialist in anesthesiology and pain medicine is always present at View Plastic Surgery, continuously monitoring the patient's condition from preoperative preparation to postoperative recovery.

The anesthesiology and pain medicine specialist selects an appropriate anesthesia method based on the patient's overall condition, medical history, and the type of surgery before the operation, monitors the patient during surgery, and prepares for any emergency situations that may occur during the procedure. During postoperative recovery, the specialist monitors for possible side effects after surgery. This reduces the risk of accidents during surgery and allows for appropriate and rapid response to potential postoperative side effects, enabling safer surgery.

Post-breast-augmentation aftercare system

Breast augmentation is not only about the surgery itself; satisfaction can also vary depending on ongoing care and checkups after surgery. With aftercare, the implant settles more stably and quickly into a more beautiful shape, the feel improves, and problems such as capsular contracture can be prevented. That is why postoperative care is especially important.

For View breast augmentation, high-frequency care is provided to reduce swelling and promote blood circulation after surgery, and one-on-one premium aftercare is also provided. In addition, not only does the medical institution provide guidance, but breast care education is also offered so that self-care can be done at home, and regular checkups help maintain healthy and beautiful breasts.

Development and launch of corrective underwear after surgery with scientific design

View Plastic Surgery X VENUS

The first domestic lingerie brand "Venus" and the breast augmentation leader "View Plastic Surgery" have come together to develop and launch postoperative corrective underwear (G300, G301) in 2024, incorporating the in-depth opinions of a plastic surgery specialist and the design based on the long-accumulated know-how and scientific planning of VENUS.

No. 1 in implant usage for breast augmentation

View Plastic Surgery has become a hospital with the highest domestic usage of Mentor breast implants for two consecutive years and the No. 1 hospital in Motiva usage, giving it abundant clinical experience and surgical know-how, so more refined and satisfying breast augmentation results can be expected.

The high volume of implant use also means a high level of anatomical knowledge and clinical experience regarding implants and breast augmentation, and it also has the characteristic of being able to perform appropriate surgery by understanding each patient’s breast condition and physical characteristics.
