1. Medication/Injection Prescription for Capsular Contracture Prevention

One of the common complications that can occur after breast augmentation is capsular contracture. Capsular contracture is a condition where the tissue around the implant abnormally hardens, causing the implant's shape to deform and leading to pain. Melon Plastic Surgery prescribes medication to prevent capsular contracture. Patients take medication for about 1 week up to 3 months post-surgery to alleviate the capsule formation reaction and prevent capsular contracture. Early management is crucial, so medication and injection prescriptions help ensure stable breast recovery.

2. Skin Recovery Management with Omega Light Laser

Swelling, bruising, and pain in the breast area after surgery are natural parts of the recovery process. To quickly alleviate these and promote skin regeneration, Melon Plastic Surgery performs Omega Light Laser treatment. The Omega Light Laser promotes micro-blood circulation, reducing swelling and bruising, and aids in collagen and elastin production. This helps increase breast skin elasticity, relieve pain, and provides skin regeneration effects.

3. Intensive Breast Care with Capsulitis

Capsulitis is a breast care device that gently softens hardened tissue experienced by patients after breast surgery. This device promotes micro-blood circulation, reducing post-surgical swelling, bruising, and pain, and can quickly improve inflammatory reactions and prevent capsular contracture. Additionally, Capsulitis management helps maintain breast tissue with a softer and more natural feel. It plays a particularly important role in the early recovery phase after surgery and greatly contributes to maintaining breast health and a soft feel in the long term.

4. Breast Skin Management with RF High Frequency

RF high frequency is an effective treatment for reducing breast swelling and inflammation and improving skin elasticity after surgery. By using high-frequency energy to promote blood and lymphatic circulation, it quickly reduces swelling in the surgical area and lessens inflammatory reactions. This helps the breast skin recover more smoothly and elastically, and also speeds up the recovery process.

5. Curas Scar Laser and Scar Injections

To minimize potential scars after breast augmentation, Melon Plastic Surgery combines Curas Scar Laser and scar injections. The Curas Scar Laser helps remodel deep skin tissue, promoting the regeneration of scar tissue. For deep or wide scars, scar injections may be combined as determined by the surgeon to optimize treatment. This scar management minimizes post-surgical scars, providing smoother and more natural breast results.

6. Breast Shape Management with Compression Garments

Post-surgical compression garments play a crucial role in helping breast implants settle stably. They prevent implant displacement and sagging, helping to maintain the breast's shape. Melon Plastic Surgery provides custom compression garments tailored to the patient's body type and surgical results, allowing for more stable management of breast shape. Compression garments should be worn for at least one month, and the wearing period is adjusted thereafter based on the patient's condition.

7. Ultrasound Examination for Abnormal Signs

It is important to continuously check the condition of the implants even after surgery. Melon Plastic Surgery conducts regular ultrasound examinations to confirm the implant's position and check for rupture, helping to detect abnormal signs early and respond quickly. Ultrasound examination is a non-invasive and safe method that accurately assesses the implant's condition without causing discomfort to the patient.

8. Swelling Management with Prescribed Medication

Post-surgical swelling is a natural part of the recovery process, but excessive swelling can cause discomfort. To alleviate this, Melon Plastic Surgery provides prescribed medication for swelling. This medication helps quickly reduce swelling in the surgical area and promotes recovery, assisting patients in returning to their daily lives. It is important to take the medication exactly as directed by the medical staff.

Post-Surgical Recovery Care Process

Melon Plastic Surgery's recovery care is customized according to the patient's skin condition and symptoms. Generally, regular management is received from the first week after surgery, for one month, and up to one year.

1 week post-surgery - Omega Light Laser and breast packs are used to alleviate initial swelling and pain.

2 weeks post-surgery - Cryolab breast packs are used for more effective management of swelling and bruising.

3 weeks post-surgery - Omega Light Laser and RF high-frequency management help with breast elasticity and skin recovery.

1 month post-surgery - Capsulitis and scar management (scar laser, scar injections) begin to promote breast softness and scar reduction.

2 months post-surgery - Continuous Capsulitis and customized scar management are performed.

6 months post-surgery - Additional scar laser and scar injections are performed to minimize scars and maintain a stable breast shape.

Up to 1 year post-surgery - Regular check-ups continuously monitor the breast condition, and necessary care is provided.
