[Star Daily News = Reporter Gyu-jun Hwang] There are many ways to add missing breast volume, such as creams, massage, fat grafting, and fillers, but breast augmentation, which delivers clear results, is highly preferred. Breast augmentation corrects the shape and size by inserting implants into the breasts, and as medical technology has advanced, the types of implants used have also diversified. 

Representative examples include super silicone and micro-textured implants, and by texture they are divided into the soft smooth type and the firmer textured type. By shape, they can be divided into round and teardrop types.

Among implant types, super silicone is a gel type with excellent viscoelasticity, so a natural breast line can be expected in any posture or movement. Micro-textured implants, which combine the advantages of the smooth and textured types, offer a wide range of size and shape options, a soft feel, and natural movement.

The round and teardrop types, which are distinguished by breast shape, can be chosen according to personal preference or physical condition. The round type is suitable for those who want an overall full breast line, while the teardrop type is suitable for those who want natural breasts or who have thin skin and less developed mammary glands.

Whichever implant is chosen, what matters in breast augmentation is not simply enlarging the breasts but comprehensively considering the line, body type, proportions, and feel. Feel is considered as important as volume in breast augmentation, and the key is to create a 'pocket' that suits the size of the implant and the individual's physical condition. The pocket refers to the space into which the implant is placed.

It should also be kept in mind that side effects such as inflammation, bleeding, damage, and asymmetry can occur. Dr. Dong-yeon Hwang of NANA Plastic Surgery said, "Each implant used in breast augmentation has its advantages and disadvantages, so you should find the implant and surgical method that suit your body through consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon and accurate examinations. I hope you will have a thorough consultation with a surgeon who has extensive surgical experience and excellent proficiency."
