What are the Pros and Cons of Subfascial Breast Augmentation? 345 Plastic Surgery Dr. Han Kyu-nam's Presentation at the Breast Surgery Research Society Symposium

Hello. This is 345 Plastic Surgery. On Saturday, December 14th, the '2024 4th Symposium' hosted by the Breast Surgery Research Society of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons was successfully held. This conference was a meaningful event where specialists in the field of breast surgery gathered to share the latest insights and clinical data.<\/p>

In particular, at this symposium, Dr. Han Kyu-nam of 345 Plastic Surgery was invited as a speaker<\/strong> and delivered an in-depth presentation on 'Subfascial Breast Augmentation,' one of the core techniques in breast surgery.<\/p>

Dr. Han Kyu-nam Presents the Pros and Cons of Subfascial Breast Augmentation<\/h2>

<\/figure>

Dr. Han Kyu-nam selected 'Subfascial Breast Augmentation; Pros and Cons'<\/strong> as the topic for his presentation. The placement of the breast implant has a decisive impact on the naturalness of the result and the speed of recovery, making it a topic that is discussed very deeply among specialists.<\/p>

What is Subfascial Breast Surgery?<\/h3>

While traditional surgical methods placed the implant directly under the mammary gland tissue (subglandular) or under the chest muscle (submuscular), subfascial breast augmentation<\/strong> is a method of inserting the implant under the 'fascia,' a thin and tough membrane that wraps around the muscle.<\/p>

• Double Protection:<\/strong> It increases stability by adding an extra layer of protection for the implant with the fascia, compared to just the mammary gland tissue.<\/li>
• Muscle Preservation:<\/strong> The implant is placed between the fascia and the muscle without cutting or damaging the pectoralis major (chest muscle).<\/li>
• Natural Results:<\/strong> The shape is natural because the implant is not significantly affected by muscle movement.<\/li><\/ul>

  Who is Subfascial Breast Augmentation Suitable For?<\/h2>

  Rather than applying the same surgical method to all patients, it is important to establish a plan that fits individual physical conditions and lifestyle habits. Dr. Han Kyu-nam emphasized that the subfascial approach can be a good alternative in the following cases.<\/p>

  • Those who want the movement and shape of their breasts to be natural rather than artificial<\/strong><\/li>
  • Those who frequently use their chest muscles<\/strong> due to exercise or occupational characteristics<\/li>
  • Those who have a great fear of pain<\/strong> that may occur after surgery<\/li>
  • Those who need a quick return<\/strong> to work or daily life<\/li><\/ul>

    The Standards for Safe Breast Surgery Pursued by 345 Plastic Surgery<\/h2>

    The systematic medical care system unique to 345 Plastic Surgery, shared through the presentation, is based on the following principles.<\/p>

    1. Personalized Golden Ratio Design<\/h3>

    Rather than a uniform size enlargement, we proceed with a customized design optimized for your body type through meticulous body measurements. This is the most fundamental step to increase post-operative satisfaction.<\/p>

    2. Progressive Reduction of Side Effect Possibilities<\/h3>

    By combining Dr. Han Kyu-nam's skilled techniques with advanced implants, we strive to lower the possibility of major concerns in breast surgery, such as capsular contracture (hardening around the implant) or animation deformity (the implant shifting during muscle movement).<\/p>

    3. Systematic Aftercare and Quick Recovery<\/h3>

    By reducing bleeding through delicate and clean dissection techniques, we minimize the discomfort of wearing blood drains or highly compressive garments and support a smooth recovery.<\/p>

    <\/figure>

    Dr. Han Kyu-nam stated, "Academic presentations are a valuable time to organize past clinical cases and consider ways to provide safer and more satisfactory results to patients," promising to continue providing high-quality medical services through ongoing research activities.<\/p>

    If you have any concerns or questions about breast surgery, we recommend establishing the most suitable surgical plan for yourself through a thorough consultation.<\/p>

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What kind of surgery is subfascial breast augmentation?

    Subfascial breast augmentation is a surgical method that involves inserting implants under the 'fascia,' a thin, tough membrane that surrounds the breast muscle. It is characterized by not incising or damaging the pectoralis major muscle, and by providing an extra layer of protection for the implant with the fascia, rather than the mammary gland tissue, to enhance stability.

    What are the advantages of subfascial breast augmentation?

    The biggest advantage is less pain and faster recovery due to no muscle damage. Additionally, because the implant is not significantly affected by the movement of the breast muscle, the possibility of animation phenomenon is low, resulting in a natural shape and movement.

    Who is subfascial breast augmentation suitable for?

    It is suitable for those who frequently use their chest muscles due to exercise or occupational characteristics. It can also be a good alternative for those who have a great fear of post-operative pain or need a quick return to daily life due to work.

    Do I have to wear a drainage bag after surgery?

    No, it is not mandatory to wear a drainage bag. By minimizing bleeding through delicate and clean dissection techniques, the discomfort of wearing a drainage bag or heavily compressive shapewear can be reduced, allowing for a more comfortable and faster recovery.
