THE BREAST RECONSTRUCTION

BREAST RECONSTRUCTION AFTER MASTECTOMY

why THE plasic surgery clinic, Korea?

Renowned breast reconstruction authority, Dr.Ock Jae-jin, former Seoul Asan Hospital Surgeon, pioneers a two-step approach for breast reconstruction at THE Plastic Surgery Clinic. In the first stage, he utilizes tissue expanders to gradually stretch the skin, creating ample apace for subsequent implant placement. After achieving optimal tissue expansion, the second stage involves placing the expander with implants, resulting in restored, elastic, and voluminous breasts. 

Breast reconstruction involves replacing lost breast tissue with implants. When insufficient skin is available to accommodate the implants, a tissue expansion procedure is initially performed. Dr. Ock introduces a saline solution gradually, expanding the tissue until there is sufficient volume. Subsequently, the expander is removed, and implants are inserted in a surgery that aims to achieve symmetry with the opposite breast. Breast reconstruction surgery not only addresses asymmetry but also considers aesthetic aspects such as shape and size.
