Implant Breast Surgery Methods

Transaxillary Incision
An incision of approximately 2–3 cm is made along the inner crease of the armpit to insert the implant. BongBong Plastic Surgery uses specially designed endoscopic equipment and a minimally invasive surgical technique developed in-house, resulting in minimal bleeding and reduced postoperative pain.

Inframammary Fold Incision
The implant is inserted through an incision along the natural crease beneath the breast. Compared with other incision methods, this technique allows a faster return to daily activities and is preferred by homemakers, athletes, and celebrities. The scar may be visible when lying down, but it becomes barely noticeable after approximately two years. BongBong Plastic Surgery also provides a Scar Treatment Program to minimize the appearance of scars.

Periareolar Incision
The implant is inserted through an approximately 1.5 cm incision around the areola, where the skin is naturally darker. The advantage is that the scar is barely noticeable, while a possible drawback is a slight decrease in nipple sensation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is implant breast augmentation?
Implant breast augmentation uses an implant selected to suit your body shape and desired size, shape, and feel to enhance small or sagging breasts with a natural-looking result.
How long does implant breast augmentation take, and what is the recovery setup?
The procedure takes about one hour under general anesthesia. Hospitalization is not required, and stitches are removed after seven days.
What incision options are available for breast implants?
Options include a transaxillary incision in the armpit, an inframammary-fold incision beneath the breast, and a periareolar incision around the areola.
What should I know about a transaxillary incision?
A 2–3 cm incision is made along the inner armpit crease to place the implant. It uses endoscopic equipment and a minimally invasive technique intended to minimize bleeding and postoperative pain.
What should I know about an inframammary-fold incision?
The implant is placed through an incision in the natural crease under the breast. This option can allow a faster return to daily activities, though the scar may be visible when lying down before becoming much less noticeable over time.
What should I know about a periareolar incision?
The implant is placed through an approximately 1.5 cm incision around the darker skin of the areola. The scar can be difficult to notice, but there may be a slight decrease in nipple sensation.
Which breast implant types are available?
Available options include Bounce, SEBBIN, MENTOR, and MOTIVA implants. The choice is based on your body shape and your preferences for size, shape, and feel.
Can nipple sensation change after implant surgery?
Yes. Sensitivity may temporarily increase or decrease, with occasional tingling or numbness while nerves recover. Sensation can fluctuate for about six months to one year before gradually returning to normal; permanent loss is described as very rare.
Will breast implants make my breasts sag more?
Implant surgery itself does not cause or speed up sagging. Over time, natural loss of skin elasticity can contribute to sagging, so moisturizing and wearing gentle supportive underwear are recommended.
Why might my arm feel numb after an armpit-incision procedure?
Because the arms remain extended during surgery for more than an hour, some people—especially those with poor circulation—may have temporary numbness or reduced sensation. It is expected to recover over time.
What is hybrid breast augmentation?
Hybrid breast augmentation combines implants with your own fat grafting to add implant volume while improving areas that could look or feel less natural with implants alone.
Who may consider hybrid breast augmentation?
It may be considered for people with a very flat chest, a slim body type, upper-body slimness relative to the lower body, asymmetrical breasts, chest-wall differences, dissatisfaction after fat grafting alone, noticeable implants, or a desire for more natural-looking cleavage.
How long does hybrid breast augmentation take?
Hybrid breast augmentation takes about one hour under general anesthesia. No hospitalization is required, and stitch removal is scheduled after seven days.
What fat-graft survival rate can I expect with hybrid breast augmentation?
Fat-graft survival varies by individual characteristics. The stated averages are 65% for conventional fat grafting and 75% for Basic Cell fat grafting. Maintaining a nutritious diet and avoiding excessive dieting soon after surgery may help support graft survival.
Are there side effects from fat grafting?
Fat grafting should use an appropriate amount of fat distributed evenly rather than placing too much at once, with the goal of achieving satisfactory results without complications.
