New Year, Essential for Beautiful Body Management! Creating Voluminous Breasts

New Year, Essential for Beautiful Body Management! Creating Voluminous Breasts

Hello. I am Dr. Kim Joo-won, the chief representative director of Melon Plastic Surgery, your breast specialist with solutions for beautiful breasts.

The new year is a time when many start exercising or managing their diet for a beautiful and healthy body. However, there are cases where people feel down even after losing weight in a healthy way. These are cases where breast volume is lost along with body fat.

Because the body has become more beautiful, the contrast with breasts that have lost elasticity can look unflattering. This is a process many people who desire augmentation actually experience.

‘Can I increase my breast size through exercise?’‘Can people with small upper bodies not have large breasts?’

If you have set a goal for body management in the new year, you will likely also consider how to manage your breasts. Today, I will talk about methods for creating voluminous breasts. Please pay attention if you aim to achieve a healthy weight and beautiful lines.

New Year Body Management | The Relationship Between Weight Changes and Breast Volume

The relationship between weight loss and breast volume is often misunderstood. People usually think that if they lose weight, their breasts will also shrink.

The breasts are a region rich in fat, but they also contain glandular tissue. If fat is lost first during a diet, the fat in the breasts will also decrease, so some volume reduction can occur. However, it doesn't mean that all breast volume is lost just because body weight has decreased significantly.

There are other cases where one might feel that breast volume has decreased. If upper body muscles are used frequently during exercise, the tension in the muscles around the breasts can increase, making the breast volume appear slightly smaller. As I always say, the key to beautiful breasts is balance and harmony with your body, rather than just size.

If your body has become thinner and your weight has decreased through a body management plan, you can consider natural breasts that suit a thin body. If you have built muscle and your body is firmer than before, you can consider breasts that complement a muscular physique. Breast augmentation can also be a good way to refine your body lines as part of your body management plan.

New Year Body Management | Can Sagging Breasts Also Be Improved?

‘Will sagging breasts after childbirth return to normal with a lift?’‘My upper breasts are sunken after breastfeeding; can they be refilled?’

During pregnancy, a woman's body, especially her breasts, develops glandular tissue in preparation for milk production. This process involves active hormone production, leading to the widening of milk ducts and the swelling of glands.

During this process, a woman's breasts expand and enlarge. However, these changes are met with further transformations once breastfeeding ends. As the breasts no longer need to produce milk, the expanded glandular tissue gradually shrinks. Breast sagging is a common occurrence at this time.

Breast sagging occurs as the tissue that expanded due to hormonal influence shrinks. After breastfeeding, the internal breast tissue decreases, but the expanded skin remains, leading to sagging. We often encounter cases where the skin sags downwards, causing the nipple position to also drop.

While cases of maintaining skin elasticity do occur, they are not common. Exercise can strengthen breast muscles, providing some support. However, since muscles cannot replace glandular tissue or tighten stretched skin as before, surgical solutions may be necessary for those who desire noticeable improvement.

New Year Body Management | When Diet Fails to Create Beautiful Lines

You've probably seen many cases where people achieved their desired weight through weight loss, but their bras became loose. When body fat decreases rapidly, the fat layer in the breasts also diminishes to some extent, which can lead to sunken upper breasts or an overall flatter appearance. This can result in dissatisfaction with the breasts.

There are other cases of dissatisfaction as well. For example, when someone successfully builds a firm upper body through strength training, but the flatness of their breasts becomes even more prominent. This is because as upper body muscles develop, breast volume appears in contrast.

When you have achieved beautiful and slender body lines, but your breast line is sagging or smaller, breast augmentation can be a good solution. This is because it can not only fill the reduced volume but also add soft dimensionality to a firm physique. Nowadays, there are more ways to lose weight.

From strength training focused on muscle use to running, yoga, Pilates, and ballet that beautifully sculpt body lines, various diets based on nutrients and countries, sleep and supplement intake, and even liposuction, weight-loss injections, or medication—self-care for a more beautiful and healthy body has become essential.

I often meet people who diligently managed their bodies to become beautiful but felt empty when their breast size decreased. If you share the same concern, it's a good idea to consult with a specialist to assess your current situation and find beautiful lines that suit your body.

New Year Body Management | Volume Design by Body Type and Post-Surgery Recovery Management

Breast volume is an element that contributes to external beauty, but it is also directly linked to the psychological aspect of self-confidence, so it is crucial to achieve good results.

There is a role at each stage of breast augmentation, from communication and surgery to post-operative recovery management, and this is why we consider all stages important. Beautiful and satisfying breasts also boost confidence.

Breast augmentation is not complete until post-operative care is meticulously managed. This is because the operated breast needs time for the implant to settle stably and for the skin and tissues to recover.

The surgeon directly checks the progress at each stage, including tissue stabilization, swelling reduction, feel, shape, and scars, and adjusts the management according to the recovery status to achieve more satisfactory results. At Melon Plastic Surgery, this process takes approximately 6 to 12 months for recovery management.

If you are considering breast augmentation in the new year, please consult with your surgeon. The most beautiful volume solution for your body type lies with your surgeon.

Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does dieting always make breasts smaller?

No, they don't necessarily get smaller. Breasts are made of fat and glandular tissue, so while dieting can reduce fat and thus some volume, the entire breast doesn't disappear.

Can exercise increase breast size?

No, it's difficult to directly increase breast size with exercise alone. Exercise can strengthen the surrounding chest muscles to improve support, but it cannot replace glandular tissue or tighten loose skin.

Can sagging breasts after childbirth be improved?

Yes, they can be improved. After childbirth, hormonal changes can cause the expanded glandular tissue to shrink, leading to loose skin and breast sagging; surgical solutions may be necessary for noticeable improvement.

In what cases can breast augmentation be considered?

Breast augmentation can be a good solution when you are dissatisfied with your breast line after body management, such as reduced breast volume after dieting, upper breast hollowness, or a more prominent flatness of the breasts after strength training.

How important is recovery management after breast augmentation?

Yes, it is very important. Breast augmentation requires time for the implants to settle stably and for the skin and tissues to recover; at Melon Plastic Surgery, recovery is managed by checking progress in stages for about 6 to 12 months.

What is the most important aspect of breast augmentation?

The most important aspect is designing a harmonious volume that suits an individual's body type. Balance with your body is more important than size, and achieving satisfactory results through sufficient consultation with your surgeon is key.
