00:00:01.275 --> 00:00:04.375
SHINYU CLINIC

2
00:00:04.375 --> 00:00:06.025
(Hesitates)

3
00:00:06.025 --> 00:00:07.375
The staff at our hospital say...

4
00:00:07.375 --> 00:00:08.724
After getting a job here...

5
00:00:08.724 --> 00:00:10.674
[Why are there so many people with large breasts?;;]
They didn't know there were so many people with large breasts

6
00:00:10.674 --> 00:00:11.624
Like, "Why are there so many people

7
00:00:11.624 --> 00:00:12.774
with large breasts in our country?!"

8
00:00:12.774 --> 00:00:14.524
They say they've never seen anyone like that before

9
00:00:14.524 --> 00:00:16.174
There are many hospitals that do breast augmentation

10
00:00:16.174 --> 00:00:17.224
There are so many across the country, but

11
00:00:17.224 --> 00:00:19.324
[There aren't many hospitals for breast reduction]
There are only a few places nationwide that do breast reduction

12
00:00:19.324 --> 00:00:21.123
There are only a few cases each year

13
00:00:21.123 --> 00:00:22.623
[Specializing in reduction]
Hospitals like ours that do it all the time are

14
00:00:22.623 --> 00:00:23.473
practically non-existent

15
00:00:23.473 --> 00:00:24.423
Even university hospitals

16
00:00:24.423 --> 00:00:25.723
might seem like they do a lot of breast reduction

17
00:00:25.723 --> 00:00:27.073
but university hospital plastic surgery departments

18
00:00:27.073 --> 00:00:29.423
focus on reconstructive or special surgeries

19
00:00:29.423 --> 00:00:31.073
If you go to a university hospital for a double eyelid surgery...

20
00:00:31.073 --> 00:00:32.823
[All the residents gather to watch the surgery]
All the residents go to watch

21
00:00:32.823 --> 00:00:34.672
because it's such a rare surgery

22
00:00:34.672 --> 00:00:35.672
But around here...

23
00:00:35.672 --> 00:00:37.572
[Near Gangnam Station, it's common lol]
A single hospital might do ten a day

24
00:00:37.572 --> 00:00:38.672
Back to the main point!

25
00:00:38.672 --> 00:00:42.022
There are hardly any hospitals that do breast reduction or lift

26
00:00:42.022 --> 00:00:43.322
so when it comes to reduction

27
00:00:43.322 --> 00:00:44.722
it's about reducing the breast size

28
00:00:44.722 --> 00:00:45.872
The question is how to reduce it

29
00:00:45.872 --> 00:00:47.272
The traditional method is...

30
00:00:47.272 --> 00:00:48.921
called the '오' shaped incision

31
00:00:48.921 --> 00:00:50.521
It's a surgical method that's over 100 years old

32
00:00:50.521 --> 00:00:52.321
It's just a simple cut

33
00:00:52.321 --> 00:00:53.571
PD) How is it an '오'? (Please explain in detail)

34
00:00:53.571 --> 00:00:54.321
(Startled)

35
00:00:54.321 --> 00:00:56.971
[Incision around the areola in a circle]

36
00:00:56.971 --> 00:00:59.971
[Inverted T incision below]
It's called an Inverted T, meaning the T is flipped upside down

37
00:00:59.971 --> 00:01:01.071
Like this

38
00:01:01.071 --> 00:01:03.470
[A clear Korean '오' shape]
The scar looks like this, but it's an '오'

39
00:01:03.470 --> 00:01:05.470
Got it!

40
00:01:05.470 --> 00:01:07.620
It might seem like the incision stops there, but actually

41
00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:09.420
[An incision across the breast]
it almost connects all the way here

42
00:01:09.420 --> 00:01:12.020
And it doesn't stop there

43
00:01:12.020 --> 00:01:13.220
[Quite common in reality...]
Many people have scars that go this far

44
00:01:13.220 --> 00:01:13.970
PD) Oh my...

45
00:01:13.970 --> 00:01:14.920
It's no joke...

46
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:17.219
That's why there are so few hospitals that do breast reduction

47
00:01:17.219 --> 00:01:18.719
Because the scar is so large...

48
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:20.369
Nonetheless, people with excessively large breasts

49
00:01:20.369 --> 00:01:21.719
suffer so much

50
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.369
they say they don't mind if they get damaged

51
00:01:23.369 --> 00:01:25.419
A lot of people visit me and ask for reduction

52
00:01:25.419 --> 00:01:26.469
(Feeling sorry for them)
and say they don't care about the scarring

53
00:01:26.469 --> 00:01:28.069
The pain that comes from

54
00:01:28.069 --> 00:01:29.968
having large breast is inexplicable...

55
00:01:29.968 --> 00:01:32.318
You guys might not understand

56
00:01:32.318 --> 00:01:34.918
or the viewers might not understand too lol

57
00:01:35.518 --> 00:01:38.118
Showing the scarring side effects

58
00:01:38.118 --> 00:01:40.368
(Patient that underwent horizontal incision)
Patients get scared when I show this image to them

59
00:01:40.368 --> 00:01:42.767
and ask "was the surgery done at this hospital?"

60
00:01:42.767 --> 00:01:45.667
(We don't do '오' incision...)
so I wrote it down that it wasn't, they asked so many times

61
00:01:45.667 --> 00:01:46.467
I don't do it like this

62
00:01:46.467 --> 00:01:48.417
I heard this from other female doctor at the breast surgery department

63
00:01:48.417 --> 00:01:50.617
and I learned that there's minimal scarring from horizontal incision

64
00:01:50.617 --> 00:01:53.117
[Took a note of it lol]
I learned that from her

65
00:01:53.117 --> 00:01:55.317
You can't ignore the gravity with horizontal incision

66
00:01:55.317 --> 00:01:56.267
It will open eventually

67
00:01:56.267 --> 00:01:59.267
You can tape the incision for couple months

68
00:01:59.267 --> 00:02:01.566
but it can't handle more than a year

69
00:02:01.566 --> 00:02:02.666
[Horizontal incision will keep opening]
It will open eventually

70
00:02:02.666 --> 00:02:04.316
It's because of the gravity

71
00:02:04.316 --> 00:02:05.766
and human body is made like this

72
00:02:06.016 --> 00:02:08.766
(Patient with an extreme '오' incision)
This patient visited me couple days ago and had this much of scarring

73
00:02:08.766 --> 00:02:10.515
[A case with good surgery even with extreme scarring]
but I complimented how well the surgery was done

74
00:02:10.515 --> 00:02:13.165
The patient said she's satisfied with the surgery

75
00:02:13.165 --> 00:02:14.815
[1. Scarring from armpit to back]
But her breast is here but the scarring goes from the armpit to her back

76
00:02:14.815 --> 00:02:16.015
and you can't see this clearly now but

77
00:02:16.015 --> 00:02:17.615
[2. Extreme scarring]
the scarring is extreme

78
00:02:17.615 --> 00:02:20.815
[3. Scars not fading even after 2 years..]
And she said she goes for laser removal even after 2 years of surgery

79
00:02:20.815 --> 00:02:22.115
(Feeling bad)
This can't happen forever

80
00:02:22.115 --> 00:02:24.315
I thought she'd have to stop the laser treatment

81
00:02:24.315 --> 00:02:27.164
and do scar revision surgery for a much better look

82
00:02:27.164 --> 00:02:30.264
We do partial numbing and sew it again

83
00:02:30.264 --> 00:02:32.564
(Please do scar removal asap..)
She can't do the laser treatment forever

84
00:02:32.764 --> 00:02:34.664
(Patient who looks she has no problems when sat up right)
The picture looks good from this angle right?

85
00:02:34.664 --> 00:02:36.264
but you can see her scar when laid down

86
00:02:36.264 --> 00:02:39.063
[Looks fine when sat up right]
You might think she looks okay when sat

87
00:02:39.063 --> 00:02:41.213
but the scars show when laid down...

88
00:02:41.213 --> 00:02:43.413
She visited me after 9 months of surgery due to inflammation

89
00:02:43.413 --> 00:02:45.913
[Surprised (the screen's not frozen)]
There's a picture of it but I'd say this is acceptable

90
00:02:45.913 --> 00:02:47.813
so it's best to not create any kind of scarring in the first place

91
00:02:47.813 --> 00:02:49.713
They say laser and good sewing will not cause any problems

92
00:02:49.713 --> 00:02:51.112
but there's no such thing as that for human body

93
00:02:51.112 --> 00:02:52.812
[Can't resolve the scarring issue]
You can't change it even if you undergo the reduction procedure

94
00:02:52.812 --> 00:02:54.712
Then how do YOU do perform the surgery?

95
00:02:54.712 --> 00:02:56.312
[Has never done reduction surgery before...]
I started doing it because patients kept flooding in for it

96
00:02:56.312 --> 00:02:58.412
They said they wanted to do reduction surgery but scared of scarring

97
00:02:58.412 --> 00:02:59.062
So I...

98
00:02:59.062 --> 00:03:00.962
(To minimize scarring) he recommended breast cancer method!

99
00:03:00.962 --> 00:03:02.312
I did the cresent incision

100
00:03:02.312 --> 00:03:04.961
and did the reduction like how I'd do for a breast cancer surgery

101
00:03:04.961 --> 00:03:07.861
I don't know if it will be pretty... I don't know... I said

102
00:03:07.861 --> 00:03:09.461
But it made them happy

103
00:03:09.461 --> 00:03:11.761
Surely it's the first case so the shape wasn't that pretty

104
00:03:11.761 --> 00:03:14.411
just satisfied that it went smaller without scarring

105
00:03:14.411 --> 00:03:16.161
Oh? Should I do some research?

106
00:03:16.161 --> 00:03:17.411
So (related to reduction) I started studying

107
00:03:17.411 --> 00:03:19.260
I changed the way breast cancer surgery was done

108
00:03:19.260 --> 00:03:21.110
It took me years to just change it

109
00:03:21.110 --> 00:03:23.060
[To minimize the scar and side effects I did research for a long time]
Because if you cut the blood vessels

110
00:03:23.060 --> 00:03:24.060
the breast dies

111
00:03:24.060 --> 00:03:26.410
Looking at the blood vessel direction and knowing where to cut in

112
00:03:26.410 --> 00:03:28.010
took me years to calculate this

113
00:03:28.010 --> 00:03:29.510
It wasn't easily invented

114
00:03:29.510 --> 00:03:31.710
Q. Is it only you that knows the surgical way of not making scars?

115
00:03:31.710 --> 00:03:32.809
[Nondisclosure?!!]
That is why I don't make it public

116
00:03:32.809 --> 00:03:34.359
Doctors are smart so they can copy it easily

117
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:36.859
It has been years and I still can't announce it

118
00:03:36.859 --> 00:03:39.359
I'll make it public when I retire

119
00:03:39.809 --> 00:03:45.733
Go see another video
