Breast · planning guide
Implant, placement, incision and size are four separate decisions. How to prepare each and plan the trip around recovery.
Breast augmentation increases size or restores volume using implants or, in some cases, fat transfer. Korean surgeons discuss implant type and surface, placement above or below the muscle, incision location and size in the consultation. Each choice affects recovery, appearance and long-term care, and each should be explained before you decide.
Chest measurements, breast tissue and skin, asymmetry, your lifestyle and goals. The surgeon explains implant options, placement and incision, and often uses sizers or imaging to discuss size. Ask how they arrive at a recommendation.
Ask what implant brand, type and surface would be used and why, and ask for the implant documentation card after surgery. Ask what the surgeon says about long-term monitoring and replacement, and how imaging is arranged.
Clinics commonly describe a supportive garment, an early check-up and restricted arm movement and exercise for a period. Ask when flying and lifting luggage are appropriate and plan accommodation with a companion where possible.
Implant type and brand, placement, incision, anaesthesia, garments and follow-up. Ask for the revision and complication policy in writing, including terms for capsular contracture or implant issues.
Which implant and placement do you recommend for my tissue, and why? Where would the incision be? How do you decide size with me? What does long-term follow-up look like from abroad? What is covered if there is a problem with the implant?
Remote pre-assessment with photos as instructed and your goals in plain words.
Consultations with a shared question list on implant, placement, incision and size.
Written estimates, implant details and the recovery plan collected and compared.
Surgery, check-up and departure clearance scheduled with a recovery buffer.
Patient questions
These answers are coordination guidance, not medical advice. Final treatment decisions should be confirmed directly with the treating provider.
Clinics use a range of brands and surfaces. Ask which the surgeon recommends for you and why, and request the implant documentation card after surgery.
Clinics commonly plan an early check-up and advise on travel and lifting after that. Your surgeon confirms the days for your case; book with flexibility.
Sometimes, depending on tissue and sagging. The surgeon assesses whether a lift is needed and whether the two can be done together or staged.
Implant type, placement, incision, anaesthesia, garments and follow-up. Request a written itemized estimate after the consultation.
