Gangnam Breast Augmentation: Why People Get Breast Surgery After Taking Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Diet Pills

Gangnam Breast Augmentation: Why People Get Breast Surgery After Taking Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Diet Pills

‘I succeeded in my diet, but my breasts are completely deflated ㅜ’

Many of you are taking Wegovy and Mounjaro, aren't you? Many people who visit Melon also take diet pills. It feels like weight loss has become an essential process that goes beyond health management to complete one's style.

However, it's good to know that when you lose weight by taking diet pills, your breasts also shrink. The breasts are a body part with a high fat distribution, so their volume decreases first during weight loss.

The reason people come to Melon is the same. Most cases involve wanting to restore the plumpness of deflated and smaller breasts. They want to add breast volume to a slim figure.

The situations where you succeed in ‘subtracting’ but then want to ‘add’ — today's topic is the correlation between diet and breast augmentation. I am Dr. Kim Joo-won, the chief director of Melon Plastic Surgery, your breast specialist who provides solutions for beauty.

Breast Augmentation | Wegovy, Mounjaro Use: Why Does the Breast Line Collapse?

Wegovy and Mounjaro are cutting-edge medications that increase satiety by regulating insulin, making the approach to and success of dieting easier. On the other hand, the resulting changes in weight can lead to unexpected outcomes, such as a reduction in breast volume.

As the fatty tissue within the breasts rapidly decreases, the cushion that supported the breasts diminishes. Consequently, the upper part of the breasts may appear sunken or saggy. This is because breasts are largely composed of fat, so a reduction in fat means a decrease in volume and a thinning of the overall skin tissue.

When weight drops rapidly, even if you reach your desired weight, it might feel less firm and more like a reduction due to aging. A significant part of this feeling is the reduction in breast volume. Therefore, breast augmentation after dieting should focus less on increasing size and more on restoring lost elasticity and bringing back a plump, three-dimensional look to the upper body.

Breast Augmentation | Designing the Breast Line to Achieve Your ‘Desired Aesthetic’

‘I aim for naturalness, but if my skin has thinned, won't the implant be noticeable?’

What is your desired aesthetic? The beauty I, as your breast specialist, pursue is ‘natural breasts that look beautifully innate.’ Discovering the most beautiful breasts allowed by your natural breast conditions, and then reshaping and designing them – I call this the Melon Breast Solution.

The design direction varies depending on your desired aesthetic. The choice of implant and size can differ depending on whether you want a delicate fit or a healthy, voluminous look. Especially if you are currently taking or have a history of taking diet medications like Wegovy or Mounjaro, you must inform your doctor.

This is because many cases involve thinned skin tissue covering the breasts, making it essential to prioritize ‘naturalness’ in the surgical design. If the tissue is thin and needs reinforcement, implants with a high fill rate can be considered. A high fill rate can also be interpreted as the implant having good firmness. This allows for the implementation of a feeling of full elasticity even in sunken and saggy breasts.

If severe breast sagging occurs after weight loss, combining implant insertion with ‘breast lift’ surgery can be helpful. If the sagging is minor, a lift can be performed through an areolar incision. If it is severe, a lift method involving additional incisions, such as vertical or inverted T-shaped, can be used to create a firm and natural shape.

At Melon Plastic Surgery, we assess the condition of breast tissue, including fat volume and elasticity, through X-rays, ultrasound, and communication with your primary doctor. We also examine breast conditions like chest width and breast pocket to design breasts that achieve the most beautiful balance with your body.

Breast Augmentation | Quick Return to Daily Life, Healthy with Safe and Reassuring Melon Care

‘Can I go to work right after surgery?’

‘I want to have surgery, but I hesitate because I'm worried about a long recovery time.’ This is probably a concern for anyone in a professional career.

At Melon Plastic Surgery, to minimize fear of pain and recovery and facilitate a quick return to daily life, we design pain management from multiple angles through intercostal nerve blocks and pain-free injections administered by an anesthesiologist. This is pain management aimed at preemptively controlling even the stiffness that occurs immediately after surgery.

Recovery time largely depends on an individual's recovery speed, which varies from person to person based on their constitution. While some cases return to daily life within a few days, others require a longer recovery period.

For a safer and more reassuring recovery, Melon offers an ‘8-step Safe and Reassuring Melon Care’ program that closely monitors and manages the entire recovery process. As your breast specialist, I personally check your progress, assess your condition, and provide solutions tailored to your needs. So, if you are a Melonie who had surgery at Melon, please focus only on your body's recovery, not on worries.
