A single day is enough to make us a little larger.

‘A single day is enough to make us a little larger.’ -Paul Klee
Breast augmentation is a procedure that gives fuller volume to small breasts. It does more than increase size — it can also resolve concerns such as asymmetry between the two breasts or dissatisfaction with breast shape.
Regardless of the above, anyone unhappy with their current breast size or shape can be considered a candidate for breast augmentation.

Because I conduct thorough pre-operative consultation and planning, I aim to complete surgery within one hour, and for patient comfort I minimize sutures, drains, and the like.

For straightforward breast augmentation, most patients go home the same day; depending on whether you have a desk job or a field job, expect to return to work around day 3 to 7. Wound care and treatment take place at week 1, and post-operative laser care is provided in 5 sessions.

The surgeon and post-surgery care: more important than the implant
Which implant you choose matters — but what matters even more is Who performs your surgery The head director, trained in plastic surgery at Seoul National University with over 20 years of experience, and experienced Seoul National University-trained specialists personally perform every procedure. With this extensive experience, we maintain a private care system that minimizes pain and discomfort even after surgery. Your beautiful body and peace of mind are our highest priority.

Incision Parts
Incision site
Inframammary incision
An incision of about 3–4 cm is made in the fold under the breast, giving a wide surgical view and easy pocket creation for the implant. It is the incision I use most often, and I frequently use it for complex revisions and surgeries requiring extensive correction.
Transaxillary incision
An endoscopic technique performed through an incision of about 3–4 cm in an armpit crease. Over time the scar blends in as an armpit fold, but recovery tends to take longer. Arm movement may be slightly uncomfortable right after surgery.
Periareolar incision
This method makes an incision of about 2cm around the darker-pigmented areola, making pocket creation easier and allowing relatively free arm movement. As it is known to carry an increased risk of capsular contracture, we use it only in limited revision cases.

Position of Breast Implants
Implant placement
Subfascial placement
This technique places the implant beneath the mammary gland, between the fascia and the muscle. It is my preferred approach because it causes less pain, allows faster recovery, and feels natural to the touch. If the skin is very thin, a hybrid technique that covers the implant with fat grafting may be needed.
Dual plane placement
The lower portion of the chest muscle is divided and the implant is inserted so that it sits under the pectoralis major in the upper breast and under the mammary tissue in the lower breast. It was widely used in the past, but nowadays it is used only in limited cases where the skin is very thin.
Submuscular placement
The implant is placed under the chest muscle, in a separate pocket from the mammary tissue — suitable when skin and breast tissue are scarce. This method is rarely used nowadays.

Implant types
There are currently hundreds of implant types in production.
When choosing an implant, rather than relying only on company advertising or other people's reviews, it is important to objectively weigh the pros and cons of the various implants and, through consultation with me, choose the one that suits you best.

Motiva
Thanks to the rheological behavior of its gel, the breast falls naturally when you stand and spreads naturally when you lie down. In addition, Motiva's fine, precise shell manufacturing technology gives it an ergonomic SmoothSilk™ shell with a high level of safety.
BluSeal®
BluSeal® is Motiva's own special technology that can lower the risk of capsular contracture caused by silicone gel bleeding outside the implant. It also allows close monitoring of the implant's condition, including rupture and cracks.
Naturalness
The highly viscoelastic silicone gel responds to gravity like real breast tissue — spreading naturally when you lie down and settling into a teardrop shape when you stand — making the breast look real and feel soft.
Safety information assurance
Motiva's Q Inside Safety Technology is a safe, implantable unique device identifier (UDI) that makes breast implant information verifiable, assuring the patient's safety information.
SmoothSilk™ shell
Crafted with SmoothSilk™ shell manufacturing technology, its uniform, finely detailed surface texture removes worries about capsular contracture from friction or allergic reactions to unwanted foreign matter.
Mentor
Mentor MemoryGel Xtra is a safe implant whose internal silicone and outer shell — the part in direct contact with the body — are both FDA-approved for safety. Precision filling technology allows the amount of silicone gel to be adjusted to each patient's body type and preference, and it comes in two types: a soft-textured smooth type and a uniformly textured micro-textured type.
Natural feel, fuller volume
The implant's sides are designed soft while the upper portion is firmer, so along with a soft feel, upper-pole collapse (dimpling) is reduced, maintaining full volume longer.
A wide range of implant sizes
You can select the implant's diameter and projection, and Mentor's own Precision Filling technology finely adjusts the volume of silicone filler to achieve ideal fullness.
Type selectable
Two types are available to suit your goals: a smooth type, whose sleek surface allows natural movement and feel after the procedure, and a micro-textured type, whose uniform texture helps it settle in stably.
High safety
Both the silicone inside the implant and the outer shell are FDA-approved for safety, earning a high level of trust.
Sebbin Integrity
The Sebbin Integrity implant is backed by over 30 years of experience and technology, recognized for strict, comprehensive quality control through European CE and ISO certification and by the KFDA. With its highly durable, resilient Nano Skin™ Touch and memory gel, you can expect a natural shape and soft feel.
High durability and viscoelasticity
Composed of a biocompatible 8-layer shell, it withstands external pressure with a low rate of capsular contracture, and its integrated Shell and Gel construction provides strong adhesion, reducing concerns about filler exposure.
Natural movement and feel
With its smooth Nano skin™ surface and soft, resilient memory gel (Everlast Gel™), it has elasticity and fluidity similar to the human body, delivering natural movement and a soft touch.
4 implant types
With an expanded choice of four implant types, a customized implant can be selected for each individual's body type.
