Breast Augmentation

Choose an implant that is appropriate for your body type to complete a more beautiful breast. Creating an elastic body line that accommodates all sizes, shapes, textures, and activities.

Breast Surgery

Aside from cosmetic result, breast surgery plays an important role in completing a beautiful body.
If you are not satisfied with your current breast size or shape, or if your breast shape has become deformed as a result
of childbirth, disease, or trauma, you may want to consider cosmetic breast surgery.

Breast surgery can be divided into two types:breast augmentation, in which the shape and size of the breast are adjusted
by inserting implants or fat transfer, and breast reduction & lift surgery, in which the breast is reduced, lifted, and reshaped.

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to increase the breast size, which can be from the placement of an implant, or less commonly through fat transfer. It is important to plan surgery after accurately diagnosing individual physical characteristics such as the location and size of both breasts, the shape of chest, the location of nipples and creases under the breast (inframammary fold), and the degree of skin thickness and mammary gland development.

Braun's breast augmentation is more than just cosmetic, so the surgery is planned after meticulously understanding how the breasts function. It is especially important to carefully consider various options for breast augmentation, such as implant selection, incision site, and the location where the implant will be inserted.

Breast Augmentation Incision Method

01 Transaxillary (Armpit incision)

It is a technique for implant placement that involves making a 3 to 4 cm incision in the armpit crease. The incision scar is barely visible and there is less risk of infection or side effects such as loss of nipple sensation. It is especially recommended for women before childbirth because it preserves mammary glands and does not affect the lactiferous duct.

02 Periareolar (Areolar incision)

It is a method of inserting an implant by incising the line beneath the areola, which has a dark skin color. This incision results in minimal pain and the scars won’t be noticeably visible. The route for inserting the implant is short, making it easy to secure the field of view while also correcting sagging breasts. However, if the areola is small and the patients plan to breastfeed, this method is not suitable.

03 Inframammary (Incision below the breast)

A 3 to 4 cm incision along the crease line under the breast is made, resulting in less pain and bleeding and a quicker recovery. The good results are to be expected because the field of vision is easily secured during surgery, so this incision is commonly used for revision breast surgery. The scar is concealed by breast tissues in stand position. Nowadays, it is the most preferred incision method.

Surgical Procedure

01 Subglandular

Because it preserves the original breast structure, it has no effect on breast function and allows for a quick recovery. Furthermore, the position of the line under the breast can be safely aligned during surgery, capturing the shape beautifully.

02 Submuscular

If the pectoral muscles are developed, the implant can be placed between the breast tissue and the pectoral muscles. The surgery has the advantage of being simple and effective for sagging breasts, but it must be managed carefully due to the possibility of capsular contracture.

03 Dual plane

Part of the implant is under the muscle, and the other part is under the glandular tissue. By adjusting the crease line of the pectoralis major muscle, the Dual Plane insertion method allows for a more natural breast shape. Because this is a highly complex procedure, it must be carried out by a skilled plastic surgeon.

01 Submuscular placement

Because it preserves the original breast structure, it has no effect on breast function and allows for a quick recovery. Furthermore, the position of the crease under the breast can be safely aligned during surgery, capturing the shape beautifully.

02 Submuscular placement

If the pectoral muscles are developed like athletes, the implant can be placed between the breast tissue and the pectoral muscles. The surgery has the advantage of being simple and less bleeding, but it must be managed carefully due to the possibility of capsular contracture.

03 Part of it under the muscle, part of it under the glandular tissue (Dual plane)

Dual plane is a procedure where the implant is partially located behind the pectoralis muscle and partially behind breast tissue. By adjusting the cutting level of the pectoralis major muscle, the Dual Plane insertion method allows for a more natural breast shape. Because this is a highly complex procedure, it must be carried out by a skilled plastic surgeon.

Checklist Before Undergoing Breast Augmentation

Before surgery, carefully select the size and shape of your breasts that is suitable for you.

Breasts must be evaluated from a variety of angles, including size, shape, symmetry, degree of sagging, width, and movement.You must know the overall shape of your breasts, whether or not there is sagging, and whether or not there is a lack of volume.

Cheak 01

If the breasts are sagging, it is recommended that a breast lift (mastopexy) be performed at the same time.

Cheak 02

If the breasts lack volume, an implant of the appropriate size should be chosen to fill the gap.

Cheak 03

If the breasts are sagging and lack volume, it is necessary to improve both simultaneously in order to create a beautiful breast shape.

Analyzing your thoracic shape accurately and selecting the best surgical method

Each person has a unique chest shape, and the shape of the chest has a significant impact on the outcomes of breast surgery. As a result, rather than blindly followingtrends, it is possible to achieve successful surgical results by carefully analyzing the shape of the thorax.

Cheak 01

Average shape of the thorax has a smooth cylindrical shape that is centered on the sternum in the middle of the chest, with no bony protrusions.

Cheak 02

Pigeon Chest :The sternum in the middle of the chest protrudes significantly more than the ribs on both sides bird breasts, making it difficult to bring the breast bones together.

Cheak 03

A hollow chest is characterized by a depressed sternum in the middle of the chest in comparison to the ribs on both sides. The breastbones can come together, but it maylook unnatural.

Cheak 03

If there is an asymmetry of the thorax, an appropriate implant should be selected to compensate for this during breast augmentation surgery.

Different Types of Breast Implants

Motiva

It is a premium implant that, through ergonomic manufacturing and design, embodies the natural shape and form of an implant, and even feels and moves like real, natural breasts.Recommended for those who value soft, naturaltexture and movement.

a. Forms a round breast shape that naturally spreads even when lying down.

b. Natural breast shape similar to real breast tissue using gel with high viscosity and elasticity

c. Motiva's unique blue seal, which can check the safety status of the product, minimizes the spread of the gel to other parts of the body.

d. A unique identification device (UDI) can be inserted in the body to check breast implant information to ensure patient safety (optional).

Motiva would be recommended in the following cases:

- Those who prefer a soft texture

- Those who want natural movement of the breast

MENTOR

These implants are manufactured in a variety of sizes and textures to accommodate the size and condition of the breasts of women of various body types.It provides a design that reflects each person's different tastes through precision charging technology.

a. Ideal volume and asymmetry correction for each individual body shape

b. The FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) has approved the implant for the safety of both the inner silicone and the outer shell.

c. Precision filling technology allows you to adjust the amount of silicone gel in the implant to suit the size of each breast.

d. Avoiding the “dimple” symptom where the upper area gets sunken and the texture and the shape is very natural.

Sebbin

The elasticity of the inner gel and the human body-friendly outer skin allow for natural touch and volume.It has 30 years of innovation and excellent safety due to a safe 8-layer outer shell that is 40% thicker than the international standard.

FAQ

Do I need to wear a surgical drain after breast augmentation?

- Surgical drains are not used unless there is a high risk of bleeding.The surgical drain, on the other hand, allows blood to escape in the event of unexpected and continuous bleeding, and it can be considered a safety device that prevents capsular contracture and lowers the likelihood of revision surgery.The blood bag may or may not be worn depending on the patient's surgical progress and condition, such as the amount of bleeding.

When can I depart Korea?

Departure and boarding are possible from the 2nd day after surgery after checking for bleeding and wounds. You can choose the length of your stay in Korea by keeping in mind that all treatments and removal of stitches will take between 10 and 14 days.

Will the surgery have an impact on breastfeeding?

- Breast augmentation surgery does not directly affect pregnancy, childbirth, or lactation.Submuscular or dual plane incisions will not affect mammary gland tissue if the surgery is performed with precision and care, and implant insertion is also performed safely.

How long does the pain last?

- The pain varies from patient to patient and method of surgery, but it is common for the pain to last for 1-2 days and to gradually diminish over time.

When can I resume my daily activities?

- Daily activities can be resumed 2 days after the surgery.

Are there any scars?

- Scars differ depending on the surgical method used and the patient's skin condition.However, scar care is now done in conjunction with surgery, so it is no longer visible.
