How should you choose a breast augmentation method?
Breast augmentation in Korea includes silicone implants and your own fat. The appropriate choice considers the breast base, existing tissue, skin and desired size together. Before choosing a brand or volume in cc, ask the doctor how much each option can change the shape and what its limitations are.
The choice depends on chest structure, breast tissue, skin elasticity, symmetry, size goals, acceptable scars and health history.
How do silicone implants and your own fat differ?
- Silicone implants: The doctor selects the size, shape, incision location and placement plane based on your breast anatomy.
- Fat transfer: A suitable fat-harvesting area is needed, and the amount of fat retained varies between individuals. It may not suit a large size increase.
How long does surgery take, and when are wounds checked?
Implant surgery often takes about 1–2 hours. If non-dissolving stitches are used, removal may be scheduled around 7–14 days. Fat transfer time depends on the areas treated with liposuction and the amount transferred. Confirm every detail with the doctor.
Frequently asked questions
Does all transferred breast fat remain permanently?
No. Some fat may not remain, and results vary. The doctor should explain the expected volume and the possibility of repeat treatment.
