Frequently ASKED Questions about BREAST AUGMENTATION Surgery | Breast Specialist Surgeon in South Korea (NANA) answers all the curious questions!
Hi, everyone! I'm back~ :D
Do you guys know that we are having a promotion for breast augmentation at NANA? There are many people asking various questions about breast augmentation. Therefore, I have come up with the most frequently asked questions regarding breast augmentation surgery! 👆
Q) Is there any standard for choosing an incisional method for breast surgeries?
The incision is broadly divided into
inframammary (under the breast) and transaxillary (armpit) incision.
There is no major difference between the
two incisions when it comes to the result of the surgery.
In the case of the transaxillary incision,
as the incision line (mark) can be hidden under the armpit wrinkles scar can be
less obvious after the surgery as it can be seen just like one of those armpit
wrinkles.
Therefore, if you are concerned about the
scar after the surgery, go for transaxillary incision. Whereas, for inframammary
incision, the scar will be exposed a bit more. However, as for the surgical scope,
it essentially leaves the armpit area untouched and is limited to the bottom.
Thereby, the advantage is that the recovery after the surgery is faster and is
less painful.
Q)
Is there any other method other than the transaxillary, and the inframammary
incision?
In the past, the periareolar incisional method was one of the widely used methods but recently due to many reports regarding the increasing possibility of capsular contracture and inflammation, the periareolar incision method is rarely used by breast specialists nowadays.
Q)
When does the breast start to feel softer and more natural?
When the implant is inserted, it takes about 3 months for the pocket to safely form and settle down. Both the shape and the texture may feel hard, firm, or a bit unnatural. But, as the skin gets loosened up and the implant in the body gradually settles down, it will start to feel much softer.
Month 4
Q)
What are the symptoms of capsular contracture?
Capsular contracture is when the breast gets abnormally hard and the shape gets deformed. After having a normal recovery for a duration of time, but all of a sudden the shape of the upper breast starts to get bulged or intensively high riding and your breast becomes abnormally firm, this is a case where we can suspect capsular contracture.
Q) Which has a more dangerous effect on
capsular contracture, alcohol, or smoking?
There’s nothing more or less dangerous. Both alcohol and smoking can delay the recovery of wounds and thus it’s highly forbidden for a month post-op. But, it doesn’t mean that they can increase the possibility of capsular contracture.
Q)
When can we start wearing normal bras?
You wear a compression bra for a month after surgery. Then, you should switch to a sports bra that has more support on the shoulders. At 6 month mark, you can start wearing any normal bra you want.
Q)
What is the difference between Dual Plane Plus and other insertion methods?
The implant goes through the muscles and
the glandular tissue, and the dual plane method means one muscle plane and one
glandular tissue plane which the dual-plane is divided into. This is the
classical method of breast surgery. The Dual Plane Plus method adds a layer of
fascia to that. The dual Plane Plus method gives a huge improvement to the
implant’s feeling and appearance by placing the upper part of the implant under
the pectoral muscle and covering the lower part with fascia which makes the
implant covered twice which is by sub-fascia and sub-glandular layers.
