What is breast augmentation surgery?
The surgery augments small or sagging breasts based on an individual’s figure and proportion to make beautiful breasts.

To make natural breasts
01. Select the proper implants considering the chest circumference. Skin texture and current breast volume.
02. Perform precise dissection so blood vessels and nerves are not damaged.
03. Insert the implants into the right position considering the areola and nipple positions.

Type of breast implants

1. Type of implants
It is classified as smooth type and texture type depending on the material surrounding the implants. (Only the texture type is produced because the tear drop implants makes the breasts crooked when the implants are not fixed within the breast).

Classification: Smooth Surface (Smooth Type)

Material: Smooth surface

Surgery features: Secures a large pocket for the surgery so the implants can move within the space.

Advantages: Natural movement and feel

Disadvantages: Require massages for at least 6 months to prevent tissue adhesion.

Recommended for: Those with poor breast elasticity. Those with soft breasts but not much volume.

Classification: Rough Surface (Texture Type)

Material: Rough surface from forming fine grooves on the surface of the smooth type.

Surgery features: Implants are fixed as it fits perfectly into the pocket during the surgery.

Advantages: Implants are firmly secured to the breast tissue and thus have low possibility of capsular contracture.

Disadvantages: Implants can be touched from the surface for small or sagging breasts due to formation of a capsule.

Recommended for: Those having breasts with a certain amount of volume. Those with breasts difficult to massage due to firm breast tissue or muscles.

2. Shape of Implants

The tear drop implants look similar to the breasts with no protruded upper breasts, do not look artificial and have natural volume.

VIEW enables tear drop breast surgery even though the round-shape implants are suitable depending on the patient’s breast condition.

Classification: Tear drop implants
Feature: The tear drop implants are for those who desire breasts with smooth upper part and full volume in the lower part.
Recommended for: Those with short distance between the nipples and the bottom line of the breasts. Those with flat breasts. Those with high breasts. Those with narrow and insufficient chest. Those with sagging breasts.

Classification: Round-shaped implants
Feature: The round-shaped implants are for those who desire a full volume of the entire breast.
Recommended for: Those with proper distance between the nipples and the bottom of the breasts. Those with poor upper part of the breasts. Those with proper breast height. Those with normal chest size. Those with sagging breasts.

Classification: Armpit Incision
Method: Incise 2–4cm of the armpit folds
Advantages: Less scars after surgery and a natural look. Preserves senses with no damage around the nipples. Quick surgery and recovery.
Disadvantages: Slight discomfort in arm movement right after the surgery.

Classification: Nipple Incision
Method: Incise along the lower part of the nipples
Advantages: Easy to secure the space for inserting the implants. Less pain and relatively free arm movement.
Disadvantages: Impossible to perform on small nipples.

Classification: Under Breast Incision
Method: Incise the folds where the breasts naturally fold above the abdomen by 3–4cm
Advantages: Most simple surgery and short surgery time.
Disadvantages: Visible scars when lying down.

—

It is good to receive the surgery from medical specialists with a lot of clinical experience and familiar with endoscopic surgery because the protruded part should be facing forward while inserting the tear drop implants via armpit incision.

VIEW clinic’s medical staff can perform the tear drop breast surgery through armpit incision with accurate understanding of implants and extensive know-how in surgeries. They can perform a precise surgery by securing a wide field of vision through the endoscope.

2. Surgery method depending on the prosthesis insertion point
The surgery method depending on the prosthetic position includes prosthetic insertion above the pectoralis major muscle, beneath the mammary gland, and dual plane above and beneath the muscle.

Classification: Insertion below the muscle.
Method: Prosthetic insertion beneath the chest muscle called the pectoralis major muscle.
Advantages: The most preferred method for a natural feel and a tear drop shape.
Disadvantages: Pain due to the expansion of the breast tissues and muscles and relatively long recovery period.

Classification: Dual Plane (Dual-layered breast augmentation)
Method: Place 2/3 of the prosthetic beneath the chest muscle and 1/3 above the chest muscle.
Advantages: Prevents breasts with double lines where dual-layered lines form
Disadvantages: A difficult surgery that may cause side effects if performed by an inexperienced medical specialist

Classification: Insertion below the mammary gland
Method: Insert the prosthetic right beneath the chest tissues above the pectoralis major muscle.
Advantages: Simple surgery with less pain without muscle expansion.
Disadvantages: Not performed much due to the possibility of capsular contracture.
