As glamorous figures have come into favour, people showing off beautiful breast lines and volume keep appearing across the media.
Go online and you can easily find photo spreads of models, broadcasters and racing models with full breasts, and on television there are plenty of celebrities introduced as “innocent glamour” or “bagel girls”. Because East Asian builds tend to be small and slight, celebrities used to have skinny figures as well, but the trend now leans towards a Western body shape.
With everyone showing off a figure full of volume like this, women with small breasts sometimes feel anxious that “only mine are small”. If the breasts are far smaller than average, this atmosphere can bring stress and insecurity, and confidence as a woman can drop and leave a person feeling withdrawn.
Unlike shapewear, breast surgery can change the actual breast size dramatically, and it is one method women consider at least once to overcome this insecurity. According to specialists, visits to plastic surgery clinics for breast surgery consultations rise sharply in autumn and winter in particular, when the body is less exposed.
Dr. Yoosuk Chung of TheLINE Plastic Surgery said, “Because the breast is an important part symbolising womanhood, it is important to decide carefully whether to have surgery through a consultation with specialist medical staff,” adding, “Since many patients worry about pain and the recovery period, easing that burden with a systematic surgical plan using advanced medical equipment is what raises satisfaction with breast surgery.”
The Harmonic Scalpel, an advanced medical device used in cardiac surgery, cancer resection and other operations requiring precision, is also used effectively to minimise side effects of breast surgery and shorten the recovery period. Dissection, incision and haemostasis can be carried out in one step, and because unnecessary incision is reduced, there is less bleeding and pain, which further raises surgical safety.
Wearing a drain to remove pooled blood after surgery, or being admitted overnight to control pain, can be skipped and normal daily activity is possible the same day, which suits working women in particular, and it also helps prevent side effects such as capsular contracture.
Teardrop breast surgery, which creates a natural teardrop-shaped breast line, is a representative operation using the Harmonic Scalpel. It is preferred because the spread, movement and feel when moving or lying down are natural and because a more ideal breast line can be created.
Dr. Inseok Shin said, “If you want teardrop breast surgery in autumn or winter with little pain and fast recovery, it is best to choose a dedicated breast surgery centre equipped with a state-of-the-art system on the level of a university hospital,” adding, “A place where you can receive individually tailored consultation from specialist medical staff and where a systematic treatment system is in place is also worth recommending.”
