Women who want more volume in their breasts often consider breast surgery for various reasons, such as being born with smaller breasts and feeling less confident, or feeling stressed when dressing because they lack volume.

Before undergoing breast surgery,

there are many questions about breast augmentation, such as which implant to use, what size to choose, and where the incision should be made.

I will explain these in this post today.

Before surgery

  1. Types of implants

Motiva: A next-generation implant designed with ergonomics to achieve a more natural shape and feel than existing breast implants.

Mentor: An FDA-approved breast implant with excellent safety.

(It creates ideal volume and a natural feel even for Koreans with a smaller chest circumference.)

Sebbin: Suitable for Asians with a narrow rib cage, and with a smooth surface and shape-memory gel, it offers a feel and elasticity most similar to the human body.

There are many types of implants, and in the case of Mentor, there are options such as Mentor Boost, Mentor Extra, and Mentor Classic Smooth.

Because everyone wants a different shape and feel, choosing an implant should also be done carefully.

Also, even with the same size, body shape and bone structure differ from person to person, so the breast size can look different.

However, thinking that choosing the implant well is all that matters is a big misunderstanding.

Especially for a first surgery, factors other than the surgery itself play a major role in the outcome, so in addition to the implant type, various physical factors such as the incision site, skin thickness, rib cage size, and the proportions of the existing body shape must harmonize well for the breast volume to look balanced.

The patient introduced today prioritized the feel, so the procedure was done with Mentor Extra.

  1. Incision site

For those who wear sleeveless clothing often or do not want the scar to be visible in the armpit, the incision is made under the breast or around the areola.

If they are not very concerned about the scar, the incision may be made in the armpit.

  1. Cost

The cost of breast augmentation varies depending on many factors, such as the condition of the breasts, the type of implant, and the surgical method.

Therefore, carefully checking the details during a hospital consultation is helpful for the surgery.

After breast augmentation, the appearance right after the first surgery may feel unnatural, but as time passes,

it goes through a process of becoming more natural, and once the implants settle well,

you can achieve soft and beautiful breasts.

Please do not rush and give it enough time to wait, as that helps the recovery process.

Also, because this is a major surgery that changes not only volume but also the body shape and tissue,

it is important to understand exactly what style you are pursuing and what your body shape is,

and then plan the surgery through sufficient consultation with a breast specialist.

At Marble Plastic Surgery, breast specialist Director Seo Il-beom provides customized care and services through detailed consultations.

※ Results may vary depending on the individual's condition.
