I am writing this article for those in situations like the above.

If you are thinking of having surgery around the end of this year or early next year, you probably feel even more rushed.

But since the decision you make now will also determine how you look 5 or 10 years from now, I hope you will take your time and be careful.

Drawing on our experience of performing over 3,000 breast augmentation procedures last year, let me share the traits of a place that does breast surgery well.

At the end, I have also included precautions you should know for your consultation, so please read all the way through.

1. Whether it is a place devoted

solely to breast surgery

Source

The human body is designed to mount an inflammatory response against a foreign material such as an implant.

That is why side effects like capsular contracture can occur after implant surgery.

This is not a problem that can be solved by the surgeon's skill alone. 'An environment devoted solely to breast surgery' - environmental factors like this are what determine the risk of side effects.

Resident bacteria live on the face.

These resident bacteria usually cause no problems, but in an operating room they can become a source of infection.

Moreover, once released, resident bacteria can travel through the air and enter other operating rooms.

If only for the safety of your surgery, look closely for a place that performs breast surgery exclusively.

2. Whether it is a place that treats

no areas other than the breast

Source

Having discussed the surgery itself above, I would now like to talk about the aftercare side.

With facial surgery, aftercare focused only on the face is often perfectly fine.

But breast surgery is different.

Aftercare for breast surgery

must not focus solely on

the recovery of the breasts themselves.

Getting breast augmentation means living with two implants for the rest of your life.

Since you carry the weight of two implants for a lifetime, the effects can extend to your body posture as well

- Shoulders rounding forward under the weight of two implants

- Straight neck or forward-head (turtle neck) posture

- Pain starting from the trapezius / neck / shoulders and spreading onward, and so on..

Beyond aftereffects like these, future breast examinations can also become an issue.

With implants in place, mammography - which compresses the breast - inevitably feels burdensome from the patient's point of view.

The body changes caused by implants, future breast examinations, and so on..

To have this changed post-surgery life properly cared for, I would recommend a place that treats no areas other than the breast.

Body posture changes caused by implant weight

→ Managed with Pilates / manual therapy / physical therapy

A place that does breast surgery well

For the past 2 years, we held Q&A sessions on the topic of breast surgery in mom-community forums.

We answered questions not only about breast surgery side effects, but also from those weighing important life stages such as childbirth and pregnancy.
