Breast Augmentation Consultation Question List

Breast Augmentation Consultation Question List

Breast augmentation is not merely a surgical procedure for external change; it is a delicate process that requires comprehensive consideration of each patient's body type, chest structure, skin condition, and even lifestyle.

Melon Plastic Surgery is well-known for analyzing individual concerns through thorough consultations with patients and providing customized solutions. Below are essential questions to ask during a consultation and Melon Plastic Surgery's differentiated approach to each.

1. What surgical method is suitable for me?

In breast augmentation, surgical methods vary depending on the patient's physical condition and desired results. Implant placement (subfascial, submuscular, etc.) and surgical approach (axillary, inframammary fold incision) must all be tailored to the patient's individual circumstances.

Melon Plastic Surgery's Approach

Chief Director Kim Ju-won thoroughly analyzes the patient's chest structure and skin condition to design a surgical method that yields the most natural and stable results.

We recommend the optimal surgical method by reflecting the patient's long-term lifestyle, including exercise habits and occupational characteristics.

We focus on methods that minimize scars and maximize aesthetic results for each patient.

2. Which implant is most suitable?

Implant selection is one of the most crucial factors in breast augmentation. It requires considering not only size and shape but also feel, safety, and long-term durability.

Melon Plastic Surgery's Approach

Our clinic uses Motiva, Mentor, and Sebbin brand implants, all approved by the US FDA, and recommends the optimal implant based on the patient's needs and physical conditions.

We primarily use implants with a natural feel and excellent long-term stability, offering a wide range of sizes and shapes to broaden patient choice.

We use ‘sizers’ to simulate size and feel, allowing patients to directly experience the differences between implants.

3. What results can I expect after surgery?

It is important to accurately match the patient's expectations with the actual possibilities of the post-surgical results. To achieve satisfactory results, the patient's body type, chest structure, and skin condition must be thoroughly analyzed before surgery.

Melon Plastic Surgery's Approach

We use high-resolution endoscopes for precise implant insertion and maximize aesthetic results with designs that emphasize the natural curves of the chest.

Patients can preview the expected results with ‘sizers’ before surgery, increasing post-surgical satisfaction.

Through 1:1 consultations, we thoroughly align patient expectations with realistic possibilities and provide designs that consider long-term outcomes.

4. Are there any side effects or complications?

Capsular contracture, inflammation, and displacement are some of the side effects that can occur after breast augmentation surgery and require careful attention. Skilled techniques and systematic management are necessary to minimize these.

Melon Plastic Surgery's Approach

Our clinic uses a Keller Funnel during surgery to insert implants in a sterile state, minimizing the possibility of infection.

We support patient recovery through prescribed medications to prevent capsular contracture, Capsulitis equipment to stabilize the feel, and post-operative care programs.

We continuously monitor each patient's condition to prevent potential problems before they arise.

5. What kind of care should I receive during the recovery process?

The post-surgical recovery process significantly impacts the results of breast augmentation. It includes various elements such as wearing the correct functional bra, scar management, and preventing capsular contracture.

Melon Plastic Surgery's Approach

We provide post-surgical compression bras and Venus brand V-fit sports bras tailored to each patient's condition, using only new products to ensure hygiene and comfort.

We offer a ‘Melon Box’ containing various products, including Capsulitis management for improved feel and ointments for scar management.

We regularly check recovery status with RF high-frequency management and ultrasound examinations, providing customized care.

6. How are surgical time and safety ensured?

Surgical time significantly affects patient recovery and the likelihood of inflammation. Melon Plastic Surgery performs precise and safe surgery within the shortest possible time to avoid overstraining the patient's body.

Melon Plastic Surgery's Approach

The average breast augmentation surgery time is around 1 hour, and Chief Director Kim Ju-won's skilled technique ensures patient safety.

Surgical instruments are maintained in a thoroughly sterile environment, and non-disposable instruments are meticulously sterilized before use.

We utilize high-resolution endoscopes and precise implant insertion techniques to minimize the possibility of inflammation.
