Breast Augmentation

Korean breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that offers a transformative solution for those seeking to enhance their breast size, shape, and overall appearance. Whether it is due to genetics, weight fluctuations, or the effects of childbirth, this procedure provides an opportunity to achieve more symmetrical, balanced, and appealing breasts.

At Docfinderkorea, our team of highly experienced, board-certified breast surgeons conduct thorough physical assessments to tailor the procedure to each individual’s unique needs, through meticulous planning, we recommend the most suitable implant type, size, and incision location to ensure optimal results for every patient. Our commitment to safety and precision is evident in the use of full HD endoscopic breast augmentation techniques, which allows for more accurate surgery, less bleeding, less pain, and reduces the chance of capsular contracture. Additionally, in select cases, we may recommend the use of medical-grade skin adhesive to further enhance the aesthetic outcome instead of surgical thread for inframammary fold and transaxillary incision. With the use of topical skin adhesives, stitch removal will not be necessary.

When considering Korean breast augmentation, selecting the appropriate implant shape is crucial in achieving the desired aesthetic outcome. However, what may suit one person’s body may not necessarily flatter another’s.

Factors such as the natural shape of your breast and skin elasticity play a significant role in achieving a natural-looking result. The chosen implants should complement your body proportions and not appear excessively large or small unless intentional. Implants that are ill-suited to your body can protrude unnaturally from the breast wall, resulting in an artificial appearance.

The two most basic shapes are the round and teardrop-shaped implants. While both options can provide beautiful results, they differ in shape, projection, and suitability for individual body types. This blog post aims to shed light on the key difference between round and teardrop implants, empowering you to make an informed decision that aligns with your aesthetic goals and body characteristics.

What Are Round Implants

As the name suggests, round implants are spherical and provide uniform fullness across the breast. They create a fuller, more rounded appearance, with most of the volume distributed towards the center of the breast. Round breast implants give more projection because they stick out further from the body than other implants, often resulting in a more dramatic cleavage.

The round implants are versatile and popular because they provide more lift and cleavage to your breasts. There are two main advantages of round implants. The first is that it has a lesser risk of rotation. The round implants maintain their shape regardless of their position, reducing the risk of implant rotation after surgery. The second advantage is that round implants are generally more affordable compared to teardrop implants, which is a more attractive option for those on a budget.

What Are Teardrop Implants

Teardrop implants, also known as anatomical or contoured implants, have a more natural, sloping contour. They are designed to mimic the shape of a natural breast, with more fullness towards the bottom and a gradual taper toward the top. Teardrop implants provide a subtle and natural-looking enhancement. These implants are available in various shapes and sizes, allowing your surgeon to choose the most suitable option that complements your existing breast shape and body proportions. Women with thin breast tissue or those seeking breast reconstruction after mastectomy may benefit from teardrop implants, as they offer a natural-looking result with minimized risk of visible rippling or implant edges. However, teardrop implants are generally more expensive due to their sophisticated design and the additional required skill it takes to implant them. Accordingly, teardrop implants have a textured shell that is placed to prevent accidental rotation, yet, it can still occur, creating asymmetry in your breasts.

How to Choose Between Round and Teardrop Implants?

Your body type and current breast shape play a significant role in determining the best implant type for you. If you desire a more dramatic enhancement and sufficient breast tissue, round implants may be a more suitable option. On the other hand, if you seek a natural-looking result and have a thinner frame, teardrop implants could be more appropriate. Moreover, consider your aesthetic goals carefully. Are you looking for noticeable fullness and cleavage (round implants), or do you prefer a subtle, natural enhancement (teardrop implants)?

Choosing the Right Implant Type:

• Body Type and Aesthetic Goals: The decision between round and teardrop implants should be guided by factors such as body type, existing breast shape, desired outcome, and personal preferences.
• Surgeon Consultation: Patients should undergo a thorough consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to assess their candidacy for breast augmentation and discuss the pros and cons of each implant type.
• Visualization Tools: Advanced imaging technology and 3D simulations can help patients visualize the potential outcomes of round and teardrop implants, aiding in the decision-making process.
• Patient Satisfaction and Long-Term Results: Studies have shown high levels of patient satisfaction with both round and teardrop implants, emphasizing the importance of realistic expectations and open communication with the surgeon.

Choosing between round and teardrop implants is a personal decision that should be based on a thorough understanding of each option, your body type, and your desired outcome. Round implants offer versatility and fullness, while teardrop implants provide a natural slope and contour. By consulting with a skilled plastic surgeon and carefully weighing your options, you can make an informed choice that leads to beautiful and satisfying results, enhancing your body image and self-confidence. Remember, open communication with your surgeon is key to ensuring the best possible outcome for your breast augmentation journey. Read more about what is breast augmentation in Korea.
