Breast reduction is the highlight of all breast surgeries!
People say that for a reason
breast reduction is both technically difficult and really important
To be honest, there are less than 10 hospitals
throughout the nation
There are reasons
SHINYU CLINIC
PD) You handle breast reduction, lift, and others
PD) How much experience do you have in breast reduction?
It's been over 15 years since I first performed breast reduction surgery
I was poor at it
It took 7 hours when I performed the first breast reduction..
[(Sunken) slimmer] It was so challenging that I lost 3 kg after the surgery
I've gained experience since 7 to 9 years ago
And I've performed lots of breast reduction for 5 to 6 years recently
Doing perfect surgery is more important than performing lots of surgeries!
As you know, practice makes perfect
My teacher is the professor Lee Eun-suk
According to her
Breast reduction is the highlight of all breast surgeries!
People say that for a reason
breast reduction is both technically difficult and really important
Honestly, there are likely less than ten places nationwide
that really do breast reduction surgery
There are reasons
This is because the surgery is challenging and anyone never gets used to doing it
PD) Isn’t it true that how much you reduce depends on the person?
When it comes to breast cancer surgery
it's done after removing the part around the cancer
The easiest cancer surgery: Breast Cancer Surgery
But...
There are risks of nipple necrosis
Breast reduction of any size can be possible
But after breast cancer surgery
there are possibilities of nipple necrosis
But with breast reduction, you’re still
removing tissue just like in breast cancer surgery
So the real concern is whether blood flow to the nipple
can be maintained
So if nipples and areolas are removed
there will be risks..
Even Professor Lee Eun-suk said
“I don’t really see why the nipple is so important”
Because it would be easy surgery if there are no nipples
Why does nipple necrosis happen?
No one knows
If the larger part of the breast is removed during breast cancer surgery,
there must be higher risks of nipple necrosis
Like this, if the breast reduction part is larger
and the more sagging breast is removed
[Larger surgical areas] When blood vessels are running through the area
[can disrupt blood vessels and cause tissue necrosis] and the shape of the breast changes,
those vessels can get compressed or bent
and that’s when problems like necrosis can happen
So you have to do it in moderation
PD) In your opinion, what counts as a successful breast reduction?
There are statistics
It's based on the patient's body shape
A long time ago, the anesthesiologist said
Before they came into the operating room
everyone's breasts were different
[Huh..? The breasts look the same after the surgery..?] but after the surgery, everyone goes out similarly
That's the ideal shape
This is called Sternal Notch
'Sternal Notch' The sternum area corresponding to the bottom of the center of the neck
I guess so in Korean
[Ideal breast] 18-23cm in distance from the sternal notch to the nipple
I think it's the most appropriate
You have to match it to that extent
But if you're short, of course
[What if you're a short patient?] 15 to 16cm high to fit the body type
The plastic surgery textbook says that
an equilateral triangle shape is ideal
but in reality, that makes the breasts look too wide and flat
So in our case, we do an isosceles triangle
You might not really look closely at your own chest,
but when you see yourself undressed, the breast extends from the nipple
all the way to the front edge of the armpit
[Due to Breast Sagging] In reality, a lot of people have nipples
that point downward and sit below the waistline
In those cases, we need to bring it back up
I don't pull it too much and pull it in moderation
[The most important thing is the design of the surgery!] So, you need to design well before surgery
Design is almost everything
I used to get over-corrected a lot in the past
[Even after surgery, sagging still can happen..] It does sag a little over time and you can't avoid it
Since I said I'll do A/S for 10 years
So, I had to over-correct it as a routine
Complaining that it went up too high..
So, I don't overdo it..
If they're really disappointed
I raise it up again
So, I recently had another surgery
for someone after 8 years
In the meantime,
she gave birth and breastfeeding
[A simple reoperation to remove the saggy breast!] The skin underneath had stretched, like loose leather
So in that case, I simply removed a bit more skin
Such a procedure is a simple one
The breast shape is a little different from person to person
In my case
These days! People hate the shape of their breasts spreading outward
People used to say that their breasts spread out on the side are pretty
But now, they like the shape where the breast only comes out forward
I open the breast up to the front armpit line
and pull it in from the outside to the inside
[It's the difference between other hospitals and ours!] I think that's the big difference
Bring your soul together!!
I'm proud of this
I don't think there's a hospital like this
