Breast Augmentation at Cellis Lab Clinic, Seoul

Who is Breast Augmentation for?

Naturally small breasts that limit how clothes fit
Upper-pole volume lost after pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight loss
You want breasts that move and settle naturally when lying down

How Breast Augmentation works

Implant size, profile and position (above or below the muscle) are chosen with sizer tests and measurements, not only by cup size.

Endoscopic dissection allows a precise pocket with less bleeding, and the Keller funnel inserts the implant without touching the skin, which is intended to reduce contamination and contracture risk. Incisions are usually in the armpit or breast fold.

Risks and side effects of Breast Augmentation

Capsular contractureScar tissue around an implant can tighten and harden; precise pocket dissection and implant handling reduce this.
Nipple sensation changeSensation can increase or decrease temporarily; permanent change is uncommon.
Implant rupture or ripplingModern implants are durable but may need replacement over time.
ScarsIncisions are placed in natural folds and fade over 6–12 months.

All medical procedures carry risks. Your surgeon will review your medical history, explain the risks that apply to you and discuss alternatives before you decide.

Breast Augmentation recovery timeline

When	What to expect
Day 0	Surgery and rest in a private recovery room; most patients return to their hotel the same day. Cold compresses start straight away.
Days 2–3	Swelling and bruising usually peak. Keep your head elevated, walk gently and avoid alcohol, saunas and exercise.
Days 5–7	Check-up at the clinic; stitches, splints or tapes are removed where used. Most patients are cleared to fly after this visit.
Week 2	Most visible swelling has eased and many people return to desk work and light make-up.
Months 1–3	Residual swelling keeps settling and the shape refines. Strenuous exercise is usually resumed after 4 weeks.
Months 6–12	The final result is generally assessed at this stage. We follow up online after you return home.

Aftercare tips

Wear the compression garment or surgical bra as instructed, usually for 4–6 weeks.
Avoid heavy lifting and upper-body exercise for about 4 weeks.
Walk gently from the first day to reduce the risk of blood clots.
Avoid saunas and baths until wounds have healed.
Keep your post-operative check-ups, including online follow-up after you fly home.
