What is breast augmentation?

Breast Implants known as mammoplasty is a cosmetic plastic surgery technique using implants to increase the size, shape and alter the textures of the breasts. Augmentation mammoplasty is applied to correct congenital defectsof the breasts and the chest wall. As an elective cosmetic surgery, primary augmentation changes the aesthetics– of size, shape, and texture– of healthy breasts. For some women, breast augmentation is a way to feel more confident. For others, it’s part of rebuilding the breast for various conditions.

What are my options for breast augmentation?

  • Saline Breast Implants

Saline implants consist of a silicone shell that is filled with sterilized saline after surgical placement. This option is ideal for women with a fuller chest who want dramatic results. While some women feel that saline implants may not look or feel as natural as other types, they can still be a great option depending on your body type and aesthetic goals.

  • Silicone Breast Implants

Silicone implants are the most popular choice for breast augmentation in Seattle. Pre-filled with silicone gel, they require a slightly larger incision than saline implants but are often favored for their natural look and feel. Silicone implants are less likely to ripple or wrinkle, making them a top choice for many women.

  • Gummy Bear Breast Implants

Gummy bear implants are a cohesive gel-based option known for their durability and shape retention, even in the event of a rupture. Available in both round and anatomical shapes, these implants provide a structured yet natural look. Your cosmetic surgeon will help you decide on the best shape to meet your aesthetic goals during your consultation.

  • Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

For women seeking a more natural approach, fat transfer breast augmentation offers a mild enhancement without the use of implants. This procedure involves liposuctioning fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs, purifying it, and injecting it into the breasts. Benefits of this method include minimal scarring, a lower risk of complications, and a more natural look and feel.

What is special about breast augmentation at Wooa

At Wooa Plastic Surgery & Dermatology in Seoul, the advanced HD endoscopic method is utilized to ensure optimal results for breast implant procedures. This innovative approach minimizes damage to fascia and muscle while reducing bleeding, allowing for a safer and more precise surgery. The technique eliminates the need for a hemovac and promotes faster recovery with fewer complications.

  • HD Endoscopic Method
    The 100% endoscopic technique ensures minimal trauma to surrounding tissues, providing a smooth surgical process with less pain and discomfort during recovery.
 
  • Almost Scar-Free Results
    The incisions are carefully placed along the natural creases of the armpit, ensuring they are barely visible. To further minimize scarring, body adhesives are used to replace traditional sutures, resulting in a clean and subtle appearance post-surgery.
 
  • Trusted Results with Expert Care
    Dr. Woojung Kim, a highly experienced surgeon with over 20 years of expertise in breast augmentation, performs two to four procedures daily. As the only surgeon in Seoul to introduce the HD endoscopic technique, Dr. Kim ensures reliable outcomes and significantly reduces the risk of side effects, giving patients confidence in their results.

Considerations for your customized breast augmentation

The top surgeons at Wooa will tailor your procedure to your unique body type and aesthetic goals. When designing your customized breast augmentation, we will consider:

  • Body Proportions
    The patient’s overall body shape and chest dimensions are carefully analyzed to ensure the implants complement their natural proportions and create a harmonious appearance.
  • Desired Breast Size and Shape
    During the consultation, patients share their goals for breast size and shape. This helps the surgeon recommend the appropriate implant type, size, and projection to achieve the desired look.
  • Type of Implant
    Patients can choose between saline, silicone, or cohesive gel (“gummy bear”) implants based on their preferences for texture, feel, and durability. Each type offers distinct benefits tailored to individual needs.
  • Incision and Placement Options
    The surgeon considers the best incision location (e.g., armpit, under the breast, or around the areola) and implant placement (above or below the muscle) based on the patient’s anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.
  • Skin and Tissue Quality
    The elasticity and thickness of the patient’s skin and breast tissue are evaluated to determine the most suitable implant size and placement method, ensuring natural-looking and long-lasting results.
