Gangnam Breast Surgery Clinics? 2 Precautions Missed by Those Who Had Implants Removed Due to Complications

Gangnam Unni / Babitalk / Seongyesa, and more..

Even browsing the reviews every day,

I still can't get a feel for

which clinic I should go to..

I've seen posts where someone did the legwork

and put together a rundown of clinics,

but wouldn't that be advertising too?

My doubts just keep growing.

A breast surgery clinic in Gangnam —

where on earth should I go?

Hello! We are U&U Plastic Surgery, a clinic that performs breast surgery only.

This article was not written simply to promote our clinic.

At present, we limit each doctor to 3 surgeries / 6 consultations per day.

Since it is hard to help everyone who wants breast surgery, we are writing this to offer advice to those searching for a breast surgery clinic in Gangnam.

This article is based on 20 years of research experience, so we hope you will read it closely.

1. Does the clinic perform breast surgery only?

Unlike surgery on other areas, breast surgery is often performed under general anesthesia. (*for breast augmentation)

So even in terms of anesthesia alone, there is bound to be a gap in capability between clinics that perform breast surgery only and those that do not.

Unlike other cosmetic procedures, breast surgery carries an unusually high risk of infection. You can see this in the fact that the most typical complication of breast surgery is 'capsular contracture'.

The breast also contains the pectoralis major muscle, mammary gland tissue, and more. That is why we want to stress partnering with a clinic that considers the unique nature of the breast.

2. Is the aftercare

skewed toward the breast alone?

The complications you have looked into — capsular contracture / implant rupture / rippling — are, we assume, all factors confined to the breast.

But the complications of breast surgery

do not visit the breast alone.

On this point, we would like to talk about changes in body posture.

Getting breast augmentation means carrying more than 500g of extra weight on your chest for the rest of your life.

When that happens, your body's center of gravity inevitably shifts forward.

To hold back that forward-shifting center of gravity, your neck and shoulders come under greater strain.

Your posture changes: the shoulders roll forward, the neck straightens into a 'flat neck', and so on.

Because of these postural changes, it is not uncommon for implants to be removed due to musculoskeletal pain, sometimes even progressing to disc problems.

Due to back/neck disc pain that developed after breast surgery,

a patient considering implant removal

The chest is the center of our body.

So when the breast changes, your posture and more change in reaction to it.

We recommend that you, too, check whether a clinic's aftercare is skewed toward the breast alone.

-> so we built a system that handles it entirely in-house.
