How Is Breast Augmentation Performed for Pectus Carinatum?

The center bone of the chest is relatively protruding, creating a body shape in which the chest faces outward. In many cases, the chest appears spread out more than in the average person, which can also make the breasts look smaller.

Especially in the case of pectus carinatum, there is an important point to consider even when undergoing breast augmentation surgery. Let’s take a look together with Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery today!

Can people with pectus carinatum also have breast augmentation?

YES! It is possible.

However, because of the body shape characteristic of pectus carinatum, the center of the chest protrudes outward, so if the implant is chosen incorrectly, it may be pushed outward after breast augmentation, making the breasts appear even farther apart.

Since they may become even wider apart and create an artificial and awkward appearance, it is important to accurately assess each person’s body shape, chest wall, and degree of protrusion and choose an implant that suits you.

The most important thing is the implant that suits me!

The larger the implant volume, the stronger the pressure it receives and the higher the chance it will spread outward, so it is important to place an implant in a size and shape that fits your chest wall.

Considering the body shape characteristics of pectus carinatum, a teardrop-type implant that naturally adds volume from top to bottom is helpful for creating a natural line, but an accurate diagnosis is essential to account for individual body shape.

What is more important than choosing an implant?

Choosing the medical team.

Because the implant shape or size may vary depending on each person’s body shape, chest wall, and degree of protrusion, and because the considerations for breast augmentation surgery can differ from person to person, a careful and skilled medical team’s diagnosis is necessary.

At Apgujeong Seoul, trusted medical professionals in each field with years of know-how perform the surgery carefully.
