Many women considering breast augmentation surgery often feel physical insecurity and stress due to small or sagging breasts. While more people are visiting plastic surgery clinics to address these concerns, it is important not to rush into surgery and instead carefully consider the type, size, and surgical method of the implant.

In breast surgery, implant selection is a very important factor. Major implant brands currently used in Korea include Motiva, Mentor, and Sebbin, and each implant differs in feel, elasticity, and shape retention. However, no matter how good an implant is, satisfaction may be low and the risk of side effects may increase if it does not suit the individual’s body type and skin condition. Therefore, it is most important to choose an appropriate implant based on personal physical conditions and the desired outcome.

Along with implant selection, another important part of breast augmentation surgery is the surgical method. The methods for inserting breast implants are broadly divided into dual-plane breast surgery and subfascial breast surgery.

What is dual-plane breast surgery?

Dual-plane breast surgery is a method in which the implant is placed half under the muscle and half under the lower part of the muscle, allowing the implant to be covered by the muscle and creating a more natural-looking volume.

• It is suitable for thin, lean body types and can minimize the visibility of the implant.

• Because the muscle covers the implant, it can help maintain a natural breast shape over time.

• However, since part of the muscle must be cut, there may be postoperative pain, and the recovery period may be relatively long.

What is subfascial breast surgery?

Subfascial breast surgery is a method of placing the implant below the muscle. It can create a natural breast line, and because there is less damage to the pectoralis major muscle, recovery is faster.

• Since the muscle is not directly cut, pain is relatively low and recovery can be faster.

• Because the implant is located directly below the muscle, volume can be formed from the breast’s original position.

• However, if the skin is thin, the implant may be visible, so careful consultation is needed.

Which is better, dual-plane breast surgery or subfascial breast surgery, depends on the individual’s body type, skin condition, and desired results. If the skin is thin and the body type is lean, dual-plane breast surgery may be suitable because the implant is covered by the muscle and settles in naturally. And if you want a natural volume or faster recovery, subfascial breast surgery may be suitable because it causes less muscle damage, involves less pain, and tends to have a faster recovery.

It is difficult to say definitively that one surgical method is superior, so it is important to understand these pros and cons and have a thorough consultation with an experienced medical team that can assess your individual condition and needs and establish an appropriate breast augmentation surgery plan.

In addition, post-operative care is very important after breast augmentation surgery. It is essential to choose a hospital with a systematic aftercare program, which can help shorten the recovery period and reduce scars and swelling. Regular checkups are also recommended to ensure the implant remains stable and the breast shape is maintained in the best possible condition.

Above all, the skill and experience of the medical team are the most important factors. Breast surgery is a highly advanced procedure that requires a close analysis of the body structure and individual needs, so a careful decision should be made after sufficient consultation with an experienced medical team.
