Medically reviewed byKikap Kim · Chief Director, Plastic Surgery
Hello. We are U&U Plastic Surgery, a clinic that has devoted itself solely to breast augmentation research.

You have probably browsed countless apps and communities — to the point where hunting for breast surgery reviews became part of your daily routine.
Based on those reviews you may have narrowed down a few clinics, yet you were probably still unsure whether it was right to choose a hospital this way.
And if you doubted whether the reviews themselves could be trusted, choosing where to go for a consultation must have felt even harder.
That is why I am writing this article — to share the criteria for choosing a breast surgery hospital in Gangnam.
It is based on 20 years of research experience, so please be sure to read it through.
1. Is the clinic experienced enough
to perform thousands of breast surgeries a year?

The breast is not made of fat alone. It is layered with skin, fat, mammary gland tissue, muscle, and more.
Also, depending on the structure of your breastbone and ribs (the thoracic cage), your breasts may be naturally prone to projecting outward — or to looking sunken.
Asymmetry of the rib cage, in particular, is more common than you might think. That is why some people have uneven breasts or nipples at different heights.
If these factors are ignored when planning breast augmentation, there is a high chance you will end up considering revision surgery later because of shape problems.
That is exactly why we recommend paying close attention to how much experience a clinic has with breast surgery in particular.
2. How extensive is the aftercare?

Having explained the structure of the breast above, let me now explain how the whole body changes after breast augmentation.
With implants, most patients choose a volume of at least 200cc.
That means, on average, about 500g of added weight across both breasts.
This shifts the upper body's center of gravity forward.
In other words, your body shape changes: the shoulders roll forward / the neck flattens into a straight neck, and so on.
Beyond chronic shoulder stiffness, this can even lead to herniated discs in the lower back or neck.
So even though it is breast surgery, we recommend looking for a clinic whose aftercare covers the whole body.

Gangnam breast surgery
For 2 years, we ran a Q&A on breast augmentation in mom-community forums.
We answered questions not only on breast surgery complications, but also from those weighing important life stages such as childbirth / pregnancy.
U&U Plastic Surgery currently keeps to a principle of 3 surgeries / 6 consultations per surgeon per day.
Still, hoping to help those interested in breast augmentation, we share a selection of the most frequently asked questions from the Q&A.
