Breast Augmentation with Implants

At PIAF Clinic, we first assess the degree of breast sagging, skin elasticity, fat volume, and chest width.Based on these results, we plan the size and shape of the implants, incision location, and insertion layer tocreate volume that complements the body's overall proportions.

Breast Augmentation with Implants

Proportionate to the body, natural to the touch

Breast augmentation with implants involves placing silicone gel implants beneath the breast tissue to create volume and shape. At PIAF Clinic, we measure the width and height of the breasts, any asymmetry in the chest, and skin laxity before deciding on the size and shape of the implants and the insertion layer. We believe that natural results come from implants that fit the body rather than larger ones, and we plan to ensure enough space around the implants for smooth movement and a soft feel. Results may vary by individual, and detailed plans are determined after consultation and examination.

Types of PIAF Implants

Smooth Type Round Implants

These are round silicone gel implants with a smooth surface. They have less friction with tissue and tend to move naturally. Considered for those lacking upper breast volume or prioritizing a soft feel.

  • Smooth Surface
  • Soft Movement
  • Upper Volume Enhancement
  • Suitability Confirmed After Examination

Micro-textured Implants

These implants have a very fine textured surface, offering a balance between smooth and rough surfaces. Designed to help stabilize in tissue, they are chosen when a balance between feel and position stability is desired.

  • Fine Textured Surface
  • Position Stability
  • Natural Feel
  • Accumulated Safety Data

Teardrop (Anatomical) Implants

These implants have a teardrop shape with more volume at the bottom. Considered for creating a natural slope in individuals with little breast tissue or a slender build, precise space design is crucial due to their directional shape.

  • Natural Slope
  • Considered for Slender Builds
  • Emphasizes Lower Volume
  • Requires Precise Space Design

The Uniqueness of PIAF Implant Surgery

Implant Pocket Design with Extra Space

The space for the implant is made slightly larger than the implant diameter (about 5-10% extra) to allow natural movement within the tissue. If the space is too tight, the feel can be firm, and if too loose, the position can be unstable. The range is determined based on examination results.

  • Space Larger Than Implant
  • Natural Movement
  • Soft Feel
  • Considers Position Stability

Dual Plane Insertion Layer

This insertion method places the upper part of the implant under the pectoral muscle and the lower part under the breast tissue. The muscle covers the upper part, making the boundary less visible, while the tissue envelops the implant for a natural curve. Decided in comparison with fully submuscular or subglandular methods based on tissue thickness and sagging.

  • Upper Part Under Muscle
  • Lower Part Under Breast Tissue
  • Less Visible Boundaries
  • Method Chosen Based on Body Type

Incision Location Tailored to Lifestyle

Incisions are planned in one of the following: armpit crease, inframammary fold, or areolar border. Armpit incisions leave no scars on the breast, inframammary incisions allow precise manipulation, and areolar incisions hide scars in the color boundary. Preferences for scar location, implant size, and future breastfeeding plans are considered.

  • Inframammary Incision
  • Areolar Border Incision

Surgery Starting from Measurements Before surgery, we measure the position of the inframammary fold, the distance between the nipple and the fold, chest width, and skin laxity to determine the volume range of the implants. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, creating space in the insertion layer through the predetermined incision line, inserting the implants, checking for symmetry, and then suturing. Wearing a compression garment and limiting arm use is recommended for about 4 weeks post-surgery, and recovery speed varies by individual.

Precautions for PIAF Breast Augmentation with Implants

  1. 01/It's advisable to thoroughly consult with a specialist before surgery to confirm desired results and current condition, and undergo necessary tests (such as breast ultrasound).
  2. 02/Smoking can hinder blood circulation and delay recovery, so stop at least 2 weeks before surgery.
  3. 03/Avoid taking medications or supplements that can affect blood clotting for at least 1 week before surgery, and inform about any medications you are taking during consultation.
  4. 04/After surgery, keep the wound area clean and follow instructions for dressing changes and prescribed medications.
  5. 05/Avoid excessive exercise, lifting heavy objects, and raising arms high for at least 2 weeks after surgery.
  6. 06/Implants are not permanent, so regular check-ups are recommended after surgery, and contact the clinic if any abnormal symptoms occur.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Q.How is the implant size determined?
We adjust the desired volume within the range measured for breast width, chest size, and skin laxity. The decision is made by trying on a sizer, and excessively large implants compared to body size are not recommended.
Q.Will the implants be noticeable or palpable after surgery?
It depends on the insertion layer, implant shape, and tissue thickness. For those with thin tissue, the dual plane method, where the muscle covers the top of the implant, is considered to make boundaries less visible. Individual differences exist, so guidance is provided during consultation.
Q.What is the recovery period and when can I return to daily activities?
Light daily activities are possible within a few days post-surgery, and sutures are removed around 6-7 days. Wearing a compression garment and limiting exercise is recommended for about 4 weeks, with recovery speed varying by individual.
