Breast augmentation at Ruby Plastic Surgery
Full volume, a natural shape and a natural feel!
POINT 01
Satisfying in size, shape, feel and movement.
A size and shape that fit the patient exactly, a natural feel as if it were your own from the start, and dynamic movement that follows posture: all are satisfied.
POINT 02
Using an endoscope allows refined, precise surgery.
Refined dissection with an endoscope minimizes damage to existing tissue and allows more accurate and precise surgery.
POINT 03
Aftercare program
Through systematic aftercare, we provide customized care to ease bruising, swelling and scarring quickly and help you return to daily life quickly.
Precise surgery with our Full HD endoscope
A Full HD endoscope is used for dissection, minimizing damage to existing tissue and allowing more accurate and precise surgery.
Small incision
Surgery through a small incision lowers the burden of scars.
Minimal nerve and vessel damage
A view secured with an endoscope minimizes nerve and blood vessel damage.
Shorter surgery, quick recovery
Relatively short surgery time and quick recovery are possible.
Pre-surgery consultation and body analysis
Because each person wants a different size and shape, we gather your requirements through sufficient consultation, analyze your body shape and establish a thorough surgical plan.
01 Precise analysis of the patient's body shape
By accurately and precisely analyzing the patient's body shape, we determine the optimal breast volume for that body shape.
02 Analysis of optimal breast proportions
We analyze the patient's breast shape, position and angle from many angles to find the ideal breast volume and line.
03 Analysis of the patient's needs and preferences
We vary the size and shape of the implant according to the patient's preferences and requirements.
04 Analysis of the optimal implant for the patient
We keep many types of implants and choose the exact implant that suits the patient's condition and needs.
FDA-approved Mentor Xtra Gel
Mentor Xtra Gel is an implant designed by adjusting the amount of silicone gel to each size through Precision Filling technology.
Fitted to body and taste
Various implants create a natural yet full line, even for Korean women with a narrow chest width.
Less upper-pole collapse
Designed to reduce upper-pole collapse (dimple).
Natural feel and shape
Designed as an implant with a natural feel and shape.
Features of Mentor Xtra Gel
Distinctive volume
A higher fill rate provides a fuller, more filled volume for the same breast width.
Side edge line
The side edge line is designed as a soft curve, so there is a low chance of rippling, where the implant surface can be felt wavy at the edge of the breast.
Natural feel
A soft cohesive gel gives a soft, natural feel.
Safety proven for both inner silicone and outer shell
It is designed with a strong outer shell that prevents leakage and rupture of the inner silicone gel, and a soft, cohesive silicone gel that does not flow like a liquid.
A line-up of products in various sizes
Various sizes are available so you can choose an implant that suits your body shape and preferences.
Mentor lifetime warranty policy
If someone who received Mentor implants in Korea needs revision surgery because of a defect in the implant, we support replacing the implant.
Surgical methods by implant position
Breast augmentation varies according to the implant insertion position and incision site. Above all, it is important to apply the surgical method that suits you.
Above the muscle
Method The implant is inserted beneath the mammary gland tissue above the chest muscle (pectoralis major).
Advantages In athletes with well-developed chest muscles, moderate breast ptosis, or obesity, a natural-looking breast can be created, and the implant is less affected by chest muscle movement.
Disadvantages In people with little breast tissue or a thin build, the implant may be felt, and the chance of capsular contracture is higher, so management is needed.
Below the muscle
Method The implant is inserted below the chest muscle (pectoralis major), performed through an endoscopic axillary incision.
Advantages Damage to blood vessels and nerves can be avoided during surgery, and because the muscle covers the implant, it cannot be felt directly, so the breast looks more natural after surgery and capsular contracture is less common.
Disadvantages In sagging breasts, the inframammary fold may look unnatural and a double fold may appear.
Dual-plane insertion
Method A space is created between the tough fascia covering the chest muscle and the chest muscle, and the implant is placed there.
Advantages It is currently the most commonly performed method, and by adjusting how much of the implant is exposed beneath the mammary gland tissue, the breast can look as natural as possible.
Disadvantages It is more difficult and demanding than conventional methods, so it requires know-how and technical skill.
Surgical methods by incision site
The incision site changes where the scar sits, how recovery goes and when each method is used.
Inframammary incision
Method An incision of about 4-5 cm is made along the hidden fold beneath the breast.
Advantages Because surgery is done while directly viewing the inside of the breast, it is comfortable, allows accurate dissection, has a short operating time and is relatively simple, so quick recovery can be expected.
Disadvantages A scar remains along the inframammary line.
Application In Korea it has been avoided because of the scar burden, but recently, as intensive scar care has become possible, many people choose it. It is performed to correct breast revision cases or severe breast sagging with precise surgery.
Axillary incision
Method An incision of about 4-5 cm is made in the armpit crease, and a pocket for the implant is created.
Advantages Because the incision is in the armpit crease, the scar is small and hard to notice, and damage to blood vessels and nerves around the nipple can be reduced, helping maintain nipple sensation.
Disadvantages The surgical view is somewhat limited, and dissecting down to the lower breast is technically not easy.
Application Because the scar can be hidden in the armpit crease, it has high satisfaction among women who are sensitive about scars, as in Korea, and is currently the most commonly performed method.
Periareolar incision
Method A small incision of about 1.5-2 cm is made along the lower edge of the dark areola, and the implant is inserted.
Advantages Because the incision is made at the center of the pocket where the implant will be placed, surgery is easy, and unlike the axillary incision, no unnecessary surgery or dissection is done in the armpit, so there is less pain and swelling after surgery and recovery tends to be faster.
Disadvantages If the areola is small (2.5-3 cm or less), it is hard to use this method, and a decrease in breastfeeding ability or sensation may rarely occur.
Application Because the scar is placed on the breast and breastfeeding may rarely be affected, it is not a recommended method for unmarried women, but a periareolar incision is needed in revision cases or severe sagging.
Prefer no implants? Augment with your own fat
Fat is suctioned from areas where it is not needed and grafted into the breasts, creating a natural shape and soft feel. There is no foreign-body sensation, and because there is no incision, the burden of surgery is lower.
Multi-layer fat-grafting breast augmentation
Fat is injected evenly in several layers to enlarge the breasts.
Fan-shaped fat injection
Creates a natural, teardrop-shaped breast volume that is fuller toward the bottom.
Delicate injection that protects the mammary glands
We protect the mammary glands and inject evenly throughout the breast.
Focus on graft survival
Because fat cells are suctioned in their original form, there is less tissue damage and the graft survival rate can be improved (varies from person to person).
Contouring the donor area
Unneeded fat from the harvest area is moved directly to the breasts for a two-in-one effect.
Natural feel
Because your own tissue is used, the shape and feel are very natural, as if they were originally yours.
