[Star Daily News = Reporter Gyu-jun Hwang] According to statistics from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), breast augmentation ranks first among the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures worldwide. 

However, the truth is that breast surgery is a demanding procedure and, in terms of cost and other factors, is not an easy decision. Breast augmentation can be performed using one's own tissue through fat grafting or using implants; each method has its advantages and disadvantages, so the method can be chosen according to the desired result. Most people choose implant-based surgery, which allows them to select the desired breast shape and size. However, since this method involves inserting an implant inside the breast, satisfactory results can only be achieved by carefully weighing the options with safety as the top priority. 

Recently, the range of choices has widened with implants that offer not only proven safety but also various shapes and a natural feel. Since body proportions, body type, and preferences differ from person to person, it is important to choose the shape, size, and feel most suitable for you through systematic consultation with a specialist. 

Dr. Dong-yeon Hwang of NANA Plastic Surgery said, "When achieving a natural shape is the top priority, a teardrop implant is used; when upper-pole volume is lacking and improving it is the priority, a round implant; and when feel is the main focus along with volume, micro-textured implants such as Motiva or BellaGel Micro are chosen. There is no single best implant—the optimal implant differs for each individual depending on the amount of mammary tissue and the size and shape of the chest wall—so consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in breast augmentation is the most important thing." 

In addition, before breast augmentation, rather than rushing into surgery simply because a clinic offers low prices, it is necessary to carefully review the clinic's breast augmentation reviews and check whether post-surgical satisfaction is high. Since breast augmentation is among the most complex plastic surgeries, the results and satisfaction can vary depending on the proficiency of the specialist performing the surgery, so information about a specialist with extensive surgical experience is an essential factor to check.
