Breast Surgery in Apgujeong? 2 Precautions You Should Know to Avoid Revision Surgery Later.
Hello. We are U&U Plastic Surgery, the clinic that performed 3023 breast augmentation surgeries last year.
To everyone researching breast surgery clinics through various apps and communities, there is one thing we would like to ask.
While doing your homework through reviews,
did you pay close attention
to revision surgery reviews?

We suspect most of you did not. You probably focused mainly on first-surgery reviews when researching clinics.
However, breast surgery
carries a higher risk of complications
than other cosmetic procedures.

That is because placing a foreign body (an implant) inside the body inherently carries a high risk of infection.
A related complication is capsular contracture. It is also one of the most common reasons people end up having revision surgery or implant removal.
We hope that you, at least — the readers of this article — will keep this in mind so that you never need a revision surgery later on.
Below, we will offer our advice on which breast surgery clinic in Apgujeong you should choose.
1. Does the clinic have 20+ years of experience
devoted solely to breast surgery research?

When an implant enters the breast, the human body forms a 'membrane' around it. (* This is called a capsule.)
Capsular contracture is the condition in which this capsule becomes excessively thick.
Abnormal changes in the capsule arise from the factors below.
- Infection during surgery
- Seroma / hematoma formed by fluid or blood remaining right after surgery
- Excessive bleeding during surgery
There are other factors as well, such as implant characteristics, but the point is that the surgeon's skill matters enormously.
That is why we recommend getting a consultation at a clinic that has devoted itself solely to breast surgery research for more than 20 years.

2. Does the clinic also care for the body
that changes because of your new breasts?

'Body-shape changes' are also among the causes of revision surgery and implant removal.
Having two implants in the chest can round the shoulders and cause changes such as a straightened neck, leading to musculoskeletal conditions like disc problems.
As for exercising on your own — those less than a year out from surgery feel anxious, so it is hard to move actively.
That is why aftercare must take into account the breasts as well as the body changes to come.

This is also why we run a 500-pyeong (approx. 1,650 m²) building solely for 'breast surgery'.
We operate only on breasts,
but aftercare must address the whole body — so every facility had to be focused on breast surgery.
