So, the side that underwent breast cancer surgery is raised
And it looks too imbalanced compared to the other breast
[Breast cancer corrective surgery matches both breasts’ volume and size] Many come in to adjust the opposite breast
But the procedure isn’t simple
[Mastopexy candidates] First, you must be able to lift
Lifting requires reshaping the breast
That means inverting the tissue
And it’s not just about inserting an implant
[Advanced skill needed] You must cut, reattach, and fold the tissue

In my case, after cancer surgery
I underwent corrective surgery
The operated side
is noticeably lifted
Why?
Because cancer surgery
[Much tissue and skin removed] reduces volume and excises a lot of skin
So naturally, the nipple
has little sag left
Thus, a lift is inevitable
With less volume and skin
a lift happens automatically
Is breast cancer reconstruction hard?
Aging causes sagging, so
the operated side is lifted
making it unbalanced with the other
[Breast cancer corrective surgery matches both breasts’ volume and size] Many seek to adjust the opposite breast
But the procedure is not simple
[Mastopexy candidates] First, you must be able to lift
Lifting requires breast reshaping
inverting the tissue
And it’s not just about implants
[Advanced skill needed] You must cut, reposition, and fold the tissue
So, this surgery is not easy
[That’s how tough it is...] No clinic can easily do it
PD: With a breast already lifted from surgery
can it be matched perfectly?
[Not exactly identical...] Perfect symmetry is hard
But if they’re roughly similar
most are content
[Better than nothing] Many opt for it
A slight asymmetry is natural..
As I always say
[Everyone has some asymmetry] Even eyelid and nostril sizes differ
So do ear shapes and finger lengths
Some asymmetry is inevitable, but
[But major asymmetry must be fixed] if one nostril is large
and the other small, it looks odd
If we balance these differences, patients are happy
PD: Those coming in for a lift...
Are there quite a few?
There is increasingly more
There are more and more breast cancer patients
In 1996
There were 3,800 people
But now..
There are over 3 thousand people
[There were so many..] Because in one year
It increased dramatically
I'm sure you've heard a lot about women
Getting breast cancer
How to prevent breast cancer
I think that's more people are coming to our hospital
Because we
Check for breast cancer
Check-up is a must before surgeries
I always check because I get worried
Some other hospitals..
Some university hospitals would say that it's alright
But still
[Can't trust it] I don't trust it so I check it
[I need to check it for myself] That's how I discovered a lot of breast cancer
I even did biopsies during surgeries
And there been cases where I discovered breast cancer through that
You have to be very careful
[If you do breast surgeries, you need to know about breast cancer] Knowing about breast cancer is a basic for someone who does surgeries on breasts
That is the only way you will be able to manipulate the breasts well
If you don't, well..
It becomes dangerous and scary
Even post-surgery
When you come later, we keep looking at the ultrasound
We either cut and put them together, or
Fold and overlap them
Then the breast tissue
The real tissue breast starts to change
The structure changes
[It's not over after the surgery as there is follow-up care!] I look at those things in the ultrasound
And see the areas that I connected
So after breast surgery
After you have a breast reduction or an implant is put in
If you are our patient
Even those who live far away, like Busan or Jeju Island
[The check-ups are very trustworthy] Come back here to get a check-up
Because if you get it done in local hospital
They say the doctors look for too long
They see something
And keep saying something is wrong..
[Not knowing the reason..] They say that they keep looking for a long time
The patient can't help but feel uneasy..
So they come here
Short breast check..
[Showing off himself in the end] There are people who come for a breast exam that ends in a few minutes
It's not easy to come to Seoul
from far away like Gwangju
They have to take a day off
But Koreans
are busy from 3 to 80 years old
[That's true] If they're not busy, they're not Korean
I don't know what I did
but it's hard every day and busy every day (sympathetic lol)
This is Korean
Koreans are all in a hurry
It needs to be done quickly
It's so hard to wait for hours
[It's too hard;;] at the university hospital
So, they came to our hospital
