Textured

INCISION LOCATION

Transaxillary approach (Armpit incision)

This method allows surgeons to have a direct view of the surgical site to be careful and precise with implant placement. It also allows for the surgeon to handle the breast tissue directly for better implant adaptation. The disadvantage of this method is that the operation may take longer depending on the size of patient’s areola. It is recommended for those with an areola size of 2.5cm or larger.

Breast augmentation using Motiva implants costs on an average of USD$12,000 (WON₩13,900,000; PESO₱626,668).

Q & A

A: When breast implants are inserted, a thin film consisting of scar tissues is formed around them. This film is called capsule. All patients who undergo breast augmentation using breast implants experience this. Capsular contracture refers to a phenomenon that the capsule becomes abnormally thick.

If the patient experiences severe capsular contracture, the breasts may change into the shape of a ball. Severe capsular contracture makes the breasts firm and unnatural.

Capsular contracture may occur when the surgical sites are filled with blood or infected. The patient may experience capsular contracture due to severe rejection reactions, depending on their condition. Massage therapies are required after an operation to prevent this from happening.

A: You can still breastfeed after breast augmentation as breast implants are placed under the mammary glands or pectoralis major muscles. There is no impact on the mammary glands and lactiferous ducts involved in breast milk production. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about breastfeeding and breast cancer screening after an operation.

Post-operative massage and care methods vary depending on the type of implant used.

If you have an operation with a smooth-type implant, it is best to start light exercise with an active massage from the beginning of the surgery. After 4 to 5 days after the surgery, you will start to massage your own and you will be guided to massage at home.

If you use textured implant, it is best to not massage or exercise until 2 to 3 weeks after surgery.

There are some individual differences in the recovery period after surgery but it is usually possible to to eat or wash on the day of surgery.

Since it is possible to carry out daily activities of office work in 3- 4 days after surgery. So breast augmentation usually carried out on weekend.

After 4 to 5 days after surgery, you can move your arms freely. Light exercise will help you recover but don’t overdo it.

Some clinics use compression garments instead of compression garments bandages can be ineffective due to the difficulty of applying uniform pressure can flow down or become loose during activity.

Compression suits can be operated without any discomfort because they can stabilize the surgical site even if the movement is large.

There is no particular rule in bra wearing after surgery. However, it is important to avoid deformations of the implants as the implant is pushed up due to the wearing of an inappropriate bra. Therefore, the clinic will guide you to pay attention to selection and wearing of bras until 1 month after surgery.
