Is breast augmentation good? What type of augmentation is good? Before making a decision to undergo breast augmentation, it’s not just about focusing on whether the results will look beautiful. Will the newly enhanced size be as big as imagined? However, there are important things to know, such as choosing silicone, postoperative self-care, and here are 5 important things you should know… that you may not know yet!

  • Midline Incision Line of Silicone” is crucial, making the breasts look natural.

Many people understand that making new breasts look natural depends on the shape and postoperative care, such as breast massage. However, in reality, the crucial factor in making the augmented breasts look natural is the “midline incision line of silicone.

If it’s not mentioned, you may not know that the process involves measuring the original breast base to compare and select a “midline incision line of silicone” that closely resembles the original breasts. This helps ensure that the new breasts do not look like blocks and can be recognized as the result of augmentation.

  • New breasts can be small or large, not necessarily measured in CC volume.

When it comes to breast augmentation surgery, whether a person is considering it for themselves or someone around them, the first thing that often comes to mind is “the size of the silicone in terms of CC volume.” It is commonly believed that the choice between small or large breasts depends on how many CCs of silicone are inserted. However, in reality, after determining the midline incision line size of the silicone, the physician will compare it with the size chart of the chosen silicone brand. This will determine the profile or projection (how far it projects forward) of the silicone. Only then will you know “how many CCs of silicone we will augment,” which means that the volume of silicone may not be the main unit of measurement when selecting the size.

  • Placement of Silicone” is another factor to minimize the appearance of block-like new breasts.

Although the midline incision line size of the silicone helps make the new breasts look natural, the “placement of silicone” is also considered a crucial factor. For example, in the case of submuscular breast augmentation, where the silicone is placed under the muscle, the muscle will press against the upper edge of the silicone, helping the silicone have a teardrop shape. This makes the breasts look flat and smooth, resembling natural breasts.

  • After breast augmentation surgery, massage is unnecessary.

Due to concerns about postoperative complications and tightness in the chest, many people place special importance on massaging their chests after surgery. Some people massage themselves, while others go to massage parlors. However, do you know that with current breast augmentation techniques, which often involve placing silicone under the muscle, “there is no need to massage the chest after surgery”? This is because the stretching and tightening of the muscle above the silicone, which occurs during arm stretching exercises, provide a gentle massage to the silicone. Another thing to be extremely cautious about is that many people massage their breasts themselves… but they may do it incorrectly, leading to the risk of misshapen breasts.

  • Self-care after surgery is equally important as care after breast augmentation.

After a complete week has passed since the surgery and the incisions have healed, patients often mistakenly believe that they can engage in normal activities. However, the reason why a follow-up appointment for suture removal is scheduled exactly seven days after the surgery is that if the sutures are left in for longer, they can leave visible scars. So, the removal of sutures does not necessarily mean that the incisions have healed well. It is important to be cautious and avoid lifting the arm above the head, lifting heavy objects, or forcefully and rapidly moving the arm back and forth, as these actions can cause the incisions to reopen and increase the risk of infection.

When planning for surgery, in addition to choosing the location and considering the cost of the procedure, we should gather other important information as well. This includes the surgical techniques, types of silicone used, self-care before and after surgery, and scheduling a consultation with a plastic surgeon to inquire about all the details before making a decision. This is another crucial aspect that should not be overlooked.
