Breast Augmentation in Incheon: 2 Things to Know If You Don't Want Your Implants Removed Within 5 Years
Hello — we are U&U Plastic Surgery, a clinic devoted exclusively to breast surgery.
This article was not written simply to promote our clinic.
For those preparing for a consultation, we wrote this article to offer advice based on the questions we have received in mom-community forums.
To begin with, we are located not in Incheon but in 'Apgujeong, Seoul'.
It does not have to be us — please review the points below as you prepare for your consultation.

U&U Plastic Surgery currently keeps to the principle of 3 breast surgeries / 6 consultations per surgeon per day.
As a result, there are people we cannot help directly, so we share the material below.
Over two years in mom-community forums,
we held Q&A sessions on breast surgery —
this is the collected volume.

Below, we would like to share the criteria to look at when visiting a breast surgery clinic in Incheon.
If you keep them in mind, you will be able to reduce the risk of complications such as capsular contracture.
1. Does the aftercare
cover more than just the breast?
Source
Many people who undergo breast augmentation end up having their implants removed or undergoing revision surgery.
Why is that?
Source
You might assume that complications such as capsular contracture or implant rupture are the main causes.
In reality, however,
many cases stem from failing to adapt to life after breast augmentation —
leading people to remove their implants
and undergo revision surgery.

Life after breast augmentation?
This does not refer to surgical after-effects.
It refers to the changes that come simply from having at least 500 g of extra weight added to your chest.
A prime example is postural change.
Source
Once implants are placed, the body's center of gravity inevitably shifts forward.
As a result, the shoulders roll forward and the neck straightens, putting strain on your posture. At first, the neck and trapezius become stiff and painful; later, this can progress to a herniated disc.
Another example is change in breast shape.
Source
The breast is an area constantly subject to gravity.
That is why the look right after the first surgery is difficult to maintain unchanged 3 or 5 years later.
Also, over time, friction between the implant and the tissue inside the breast can lead to a build-up of inflammation.
That is why choosing and wearing the right bra is essential.
Postural changes / choosing and wearing the right brassiere.
Beyond these, there can be more aspects of life you have to adapt to once implants are in place.
So please check whether the aftercare covers more than just the breast.

2. Has the clinic researched breast surgery alone
for more than 20 years?

Breast augmentation is riskier than surgery on other areas, because it is not a procedure that deals only with skin and fat.
Double eyelid or nose surgery mostly involves only skin, cartilage, or part of the bone.
During breast surgery, however, blood vessels, nerves, muscle, and even mammary gland tissue are involved.
On top of that, a foreign object — the implant — must be placed deep inside the body, and general anesthesia is required.
That is why we hope you look closely for a clinic that has spent more than 20 years researching the breast alone.
2000s - listed as an author of breast surgery papers in the Journal of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons
About 10 years ago, our breast surgeons appeared on the TV program 'Let Me In'
For those looking into breast surgery clinics in Incheon, this is everything we have prepared.
We hope what we shared today helps you receive safe surgery and proper aftercare.
