Slim Body Type and Breast Augmentation Surgery
What Is the Best Way to Do It?

When people with a slim body type consider breast augmentation surgery, the biggest concerns are whether the results will look unnatural after surgery, whether the edges of the implant will show, and whether it will feel awkward when touched.
These concerns become even greater the thinner the subcutaneous fat and glandular tissue are. For this reason, rather than simply increasing the size, it is very important to choose a method suited to the body type and to plan the surgery with tissue protection in mind.

In cases with little body fat and thin skin, breast augmentation surgery using only implants has a relatively higher chance of making the implant contour visible through the skin or causing the so-called “rippling” phenomenon, where the edges show during movement. Also, if the skin cannot stretch enough, pressure or discomfort may continue after surgery, so for a slim body type, reinforcing the tissue rather than simply enlarging it can be seen as more important.

Autologous fat grafting is a method that can provide a natural feel and appearance, but in a slim body type with insufficient body fat, the amount of fat that can be harvested is limited, and the survival rate after grafting also varies greatly from person to person. Since multiple procedures may be needed to create the desired volume, standalone fat grafting is not always the best answer for a slim body type.

Biovol breast surgery is an advanced method that goes beyond the existing implant-centered approach. It is characterized by using acellular dermal matrix (ADM), which is tissue with the cells removed, to reinforce the breast tissue. This ADM is naturally replaced over time by the patient’s own tissue, so while it serves as a protective layer around the implant, it also helps create a softer and more stable volume.

The ADM used in Biovol is known to be the same raw material used in L&C Bio’s skin booster product, Ellavie Re2O, and it is a material that has already been clinically proven in dermatology, plastic surgery, and general hospitals in terms of promoting collagen regeneration and tissue stability. By applying this material to breast surgery, it is possible to expect safer and more predictable results even for a slim body type with thin skin and limited tissue.

Biovol is not a method that simply inserts a larger implant without consideration. Instead, it is performed by combining the implant and ADM while taking into account each patient’s chest wall structure, skin elasticity, and the distribution of glandular tissue and fat. Because of this, the upper and lower contours of the breasts can connect more naturally after surgery, and the result can minimize an artificial appearance even in a slim body type.

Because the ADM gently wraps the implant and naturally integrates with the surrounding tissue, it helps reduce the possibility of feeling hard to the touch and alleviates discomfort caused by movement. This is an important factor not only in daily life but also in the silhouette under clothing and long-term satisfaction.
For breast augmentation surgery in a slim body type, it is more important than anything else to create a result that harmonizes with the body rather than simply aiming for more volume. From this perspective, fourth-generation Biovol breast surgery, which considers tissue reinforcement and stability at the same time, can be a reasonable option for a slim body type. Please remember that the most important part is going through enough consultation to find the method that suits you best.
