Breast Surgery Methods Differ by Body Type!? Learn More in Detail

When considering breast augmentation, the first factor that comes to mind may be “size.” However, in reality, the surgical method, implant selection, and incision site can vary depending on a person’s body type and skeletal structure.

This is because, beyond simply making the breasts larger, creating a natural line and harmonious proportions is the more important point.

What if you have a slim upper body?

For a generally slim upper body, the skin tissue is often thin and breast gland development is limited, so the implant may be more noticeable. In such cases, choosing the placement to protect the internal tissue is important. In general, methods such as under the muscle or dual-plane may be used, and when selecting the shape or material of the implant, options that provide a softer feel may also be considered.

What if your shoulders are broader than your hips?

For a body type with broad shoulders and narrow hips, the upper body may stand out, so an implant that is too large can instead disrupt the proportions. In this case, a moderate volume and a natural shape are important for achieving balance, and the key is to design the line while considering the appropriate width and projection.

What if you have a short waist and a short torso?

When the upper body is short, the breast position may form relatively higher, so caution is needed to avoid pressure on the upper body or imbalance depending on the implant position and shape. In such cases, careful planning of the inframammary fold position and the extent of the incision is required.

What if you have a lot of abdominal fat?

When there is a lot of fat in the abdomen and the upper body is more voluminous than the lower body, adding breast volume may cause the center of gravity to shift upward. In this case, rather than simply increasing the size, an approach that adjusts the volume while balancing the body is important. Combining the procedure with fat grafting is sometimes mentioned, but this should be decided according to the individual’s condition.

Customized surgery, so the important thing is “individual design”

In the end, breast augmentation is not simply about making the breasts “bigger,” but about making them “suitable for my body and natural.” The surgical method should be selected by comprehensively considering each person’s body type, skin thickness, breast position, desired image, and more, and this is something that should be fully discussed and decided through a consultation.

Breast augmentation: finding the method that suits me comes first!

Even if the same breast surgery method is used, the results can be completely different depending on the body type. That is why analyzing the body type and carefully designing the surgical method accordingly is more important than anything else.

It is the ideal choice to accurately communicate your condition and goals through a direct consultation and then develop the surgical plan according to the guidance of the medical staff.
