Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first thing to check in breast augmentation?
Rather than simply increasing size, we must first consider how to harmonize your current body proportions. We assess the width and thickness of the rib cage, shoulder line and upper body length, waist-to-pelvis ratio, skin elasticity and tissue flexibility, as well as the distribution of existing glandular tissue and fat. SC301 Clinic prioritizes individual body balance and natural flow during consultations, rather than simply changing the size.
Does making it unconditionally larger increase satisfaction?
That is not the case. If you have a small frame and thin skin, planning for excessively large volume may cause the upper body to stand out too much or create a sense of boundary. Conversely, if you have a somewhat defined upper body frame, choosing too conservatively may not be enough to achieve the desired changes.
What criteria do you use to choose implants?
Satisfaction depends not on a simple comparison of which product is unconditionally better, but on how well it fits your skin thickness and tissue condition. If your skin is thin, care must be taken to ensure no visible boundaries; if there is insufficient existing tissue, the insertion site and space 확보 are important; and if you are highly active, movement and long-term stability must be considered together.
Which should I choose, implants or fat grafting?
Depending on the individual, implant insertion may be more suitable, while in some cases, fat grafting may be better suited for a natural transformation. Rather than following trends or preferences, it is important to make a personalized assessment based on your current body type, fat volume, skin condition, and desired degree of change. At SC301 Clinic, Chief Director Shin Dong-jin examines your body type and tissue condition to explain the advantages and disadvantages of both methods.
What precautions should be taken in the early stages after surgery?
It is necessary to wear compression garments to ensure the implants settle stably, refrain from excessive use of the arms, limit strenuous exercise or lifting heavy objects, manage the wound area and check showering schedules, and undergo regular follow-up checkups.
Does smoking or drinking affect recovery?
Smoking can affect the speed of recovery and tissue condition, and excessive drinking can increase the risk of inflammation, so it is important to examine lifestyle habits in advance.
Can I judge the results immediately after the surgery?
After breast augmentation, swelling, tightness, and heaviness tend to gradually subside over time, but the speed and progression of recovery vary from person to person. Rather than judging the results hastily in the early stages, it is necessary to take sufficient time to observe the progress.
What problems can arise if I turn the volume up too high?
If it exceeds the body's capacity, it can lead to strain on the shoulders and neck, skin sagging and loss of elasticity, discomfort in daily life, and problems where proportions appear awkward over time.
What kind of suggestions would be good to receive during the consultation?
Rather than focusing solely on your desired cup size, it is more realistic and leads to greater satisfaction to receive suggestions on what range is most natural and stable relative to your current body type. SC301 Clinic suggests a range that is most natural and stable for your current body shape, rather than just your desired cup size.
Ultimately, what is the key factor that determines satisfaction?
Every element, from the type of implant, incision method, insertion site, and whether autologous fat grafting is performed, to the recovery plan, must be designed within the individual's body type and conditions. It is not merely a procedure to increase volume, but rather a process of creating a harmonious silhouette by considering the proportions and flow of your body.
