Breast Augmentation: Shape and Touch Are Basic, Safety Is Essential!

Are you considering breast augmentation?

Breast surgery is often considered a procedure with a high level of satisfaction after surgery, but concerns about the surgery itself and the financial burden of breast augmentation surgery are also relatively greater than with other cosmetic surgeries. In particular, there can be a large price gap by hospital, ranging from the 2 million won range to the 10 million won range, so you may be wondering even more. If so, what should you consider for a safe and successful breast surgery result?

First of all, it is important to accurately understand your own body type. For example, in cases of naturally small breasts or volume loss and sagging caused by childbirth and breastfeeding, breast surgery should not simply aim to increase breast size. It must consider both aesthetic and functional aspects. Therefore, from the preoperative examination onward, it is necessary to clearly communicate your personal needs for change to the medical team through sufficient consultation, and the procedure should be carried out based on a systematic system that includes implant selection, design, and aftercare tailored to those needs.

Essential checklist before breast augmentation!

✅ Whether the medical team has extensive experience, know-how, and rich clinical experience in this high-difficulty surgery

✅ Whether a ONE-STOP SYSTEM is in place, from preoperative testing to breast examinations

✅ Whether collaborative treatment is being carried out with specialists in each field (plastic surgery, anesthesiology and pain medicine, surgery, radiology)

✅ Whether a variety of implants are available

✅ Whether personalized aftercare is possible after surgery

To improve convenience for patients' travel routes, View Plastic Surgery has established a ONE-STOP system from consultation to examination and treatment, allowing you to receive private 1:1 consultations and care without inconvenience. In addition, there is a separate floor dedicated to breast augmentation, making consultations possible in a more comfortable atmosphere.

In-house screening center

With its own screening center, the clinic operates a safe surgery process and a systematic aftercare system through a one-stop system, from preoperative testing to postoperative examinations, all within one building.

From consultation to screening, surgery, recovery, and care

Pre- and post-surgery tests are carried out through an optimized system.

Breast screening: breast ultrasound, mammography, mammotome

*Screening is performed directly by a general surgeon.

*Whether breast screening is performed or not varies depending on the individual.

View Plastic Surgery offers the advantage that patients preparing for breast augmentation do not need to look for a separate hospital for breast screening; they can receive pre- and post-breast augmentation screening all at once within View Plastic Surgery through a ONE-STOP system.

The "View" premium breast screening is conducted directly by a general surgery specialist dedicated to breast diseases, who checks for breast cancer and breast lesions through pre- and post-breast augmentation examinations. If there are breast lesions that require treatment, surgery from biopsy to removal is possible using mammotome equipment used at university hospitals. After breast surgery, regular follow-up is performed through mammography and breast ultrasound to check the condition of the implant, capsular contracture, and the presence of breast cancer, and corresponding diagnosis and preventive care are provided.

View's systematic breast augmentation

1. UIU Design

A full UU line for the breast shape, a natural I line for the cleavage

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

2. VIEW's technique through years of clinical experience

View Plastic Surgery's breast surgery is carried out through collaboration between experienced plastic surgery specialists with extensive experience in breast augmentation and a high understanding of breast cancer reconstruction, along with general surgery (breast screening) medical staff. This makes it possible to perform not only breast augmentation but also reconstruction surgery, breast implant removal, and revision breast surgery.

In addition, through the know-how and technique accumulated over years of clinical experience, the breast pocket is dissected in a 360° multidimensional way to create a natural shape not only from the front but also from the side. Two-thirds of the implant is placed under the muscle and one-third under the glandular tissue, allowing the muscle to cover the implant once, which can result in a soft touch similar to real breasts.

3. One-day breast augmentation

Because the surgery time is short, tissue damage is reduced, minimizing swelling, bruising, bleeding, and pain. Since no drain is worn, 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, taking into account your usual lifestyle pattern, individual chest size and skeletal structure, and the breast shape and size you want.

CASE 01. Inframammary fold incision

Recommended when quick recovery is desired. The surgery involves making a 3 to 4 cm incision along the inframammary fold and inserting the implant.

CASE 02. Axillary incision

Recommended when scar visibility is a concern. The surgery involves making a 2 to 4 cm incision along the axillary crease and inserting the implant.

5. Precise dissection, minimizing pain

Through high-resolution FULL HD endoscopy, a clear field of view is secured, and only the space needed for the implant size is precisely dissected, reducing damage to blood vessels and tissue, preventing capsular contracture, and minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. This results in less bleeding and reduced postoperative pain. In addition, Calr Funnel 2 is used to help prevent infection that may occur during surgery and to insert the implant safely and smoothly, causing relatively little irritation.

Introduction to View's various implants

Motiva breast implants spread naturally when lying down and change into a naturally downward shape when standing, allowing them to have a shape closest to real breasts. The silk surface made of nanoparticles reduces inflammation and foreign-body sensation caused by friction, and capsular contracture or allergic reactions are rare.

In addition, the implant surface is equipped with BlueSeal technology, which allows the product's safety status to be checked visually, further enhancing safety.

Mentor implants are complete products that include not only the internal silicone but also the shell, and their safety has been verified through approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). By adjusting the volume of the silicone filler, breast circumference and size can be adjusted to suit various cases, and even patients with a smaller chest 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 with an increased fill rate to reduce the dimple phenomenon in which the upper part of the implant sinks and the rippling phenomenon in which wrinkles form on the implant, resulting in an implant with a natural feel and shape.

Sebbin has a smooth surface and a form-stable gel, giving it a feel and elasticity closest to the human body, while also reducing implant-related side effects. In addition, Sebbin Integrity is safe even under 40% more pressure than international standard specifications, and its memory-type gel stretches softly and recovers naturally, with high integrity in that it remains safe even after strong impact.

With a variety of sizes and shapes, there is a wider range of choices, allowing personalized breast shapes to be created. Since the shell and gel are integrated into one piece, the risk of filler exposure is very low.

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 equipment and a safety system that can respond quickly to emergencies. In addition, with safe surgery as its basic principle, the clinic places patient safety as its top priority and continues to make efforts so patients can undergo surgery with greater peace of mind by introducing a real-name surgery certification system.

Safe anesthesia system

View Plastic Surgery has an anesthesiology and pain medicine specialist always on-site at the clinic, continuously monitoring the patient's condition from preoperative preparation through postoperative recovery.

The anesthesiology and pain medicine specialist selects the appropriate anesthesia method according to the patient's overall condition, medical history, and type of surgery before the operation, monitors the patient during surgery, and prepares for emergencies that may occur during the procedure. During the recovery stage after surgery, the specialist monitors possible postoperative side effects. This reduces the risk of accidents during surgery and allows for appropriate and prompt response to postoperative side effects, making surgery safer.

Aftercare system after breast augmentation

In breast augmentation, the surgery itself is important, but satisfaction can also vary depending on ongoing care and examinations after surgery. Aftercare is especially important because, depending on the aftercare, the implant can settle more stably and quickly into a more beautiful shape, the feel can improve, and problems such as capsular contracture can be prevented.

"View" breast augmentation provides radiofrequency care after surgery to reduce swelling and promote blood circulation, and also offers 1:1 premium aftercare. In addition, the clinic helps patients maintain healthy and beautiful breasts through breast care education so they can perform self-care at home as well as guidance from the medical institution, along with regular checkups.
