00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.025
Breast reduction is the highlight of all breast surgeries!

2
00:00:02.025 --> 00:00:03.075
People say that for a reason

3
00:00:03.075 --> 00:00:06.375
breast reduction is both technically difficult and really important

4
00:00:06.375 --> 00:00:08.024
To be honest, there are less than 10 hospitals

5
00:00:08.024 --> 00:00:09.224
throughout the nation

6
00:00:09.224 --> 00:00:10.424
There are reasons

7
00:00:11.624 --> 00:00:15.124
SHINYU CLINIC

8
00:00:15.124 --> 00:00:17.923
PD) You handle breast reduction, lift, and others

9
00:00:17.923 --> 00:00:20.573
PD) How much experience do you have in breast reduction?

10
00:00:20.573 --> 00:00:23.173
It's been over 15 years since 
I first performed breast reduction surgery

11
00:00:23.173 --> 00:00:23.873
I was poor at it

12
00:00:23.873 --> 00:00:25.773
It took 7 hours when I performed the first breast reduction..

13
00:00:25.773 --> 00:00:27.472
[(Sunken) slimmer]
It was so challenging that I lost 3 kg after the surgery

14
00:00:27.472 --> 00:00:30.122
I've gained experience since 7 to 9 years ago

15
00:00:30.122 --> 00:00:31.972
And I've performed lots of breast reduction 
for 5 to 6 years recently

16
00:00:31.972 --> 00:00:35.072
Doing perfect surgery is more important 
than performing lots of surgeries!

17
00:00:35.072 --> 00:00:37.272
As you know, practice makes perfect

18
00:00:37.272 --> 00:00:40.171
My teacher is the professor Lee Eun-suk

19
00:00:40.171 --> 00:00:41.521
According to her

20
00:00:41.521 --> 00:00:43.521
Breast reduction is the highlight of all breast surgeries!

21
00:00:43.521 --> 00:00:44.571
People say that for a reason

22
00:00:44.571 --> 00:00:47.871
breast reduction is both technically difficult and really important

23
00:00:47.871 --> 00:00:49.520
Honestly, there are likely less than ten places nationwide

24
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:50.720
that really do breast reduction surgery

25
00:00:50.720 --> 00:00:51.920
There are reasons

26
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.170
This is because the surgery is challenging 
and anyone never gets used to doing it

27
00:00:55.170 --> 00:00:58.670
PD) Isn’t it true that how much you reduce depends on the person?

28
00:00:58.670 --> 00:00:59.969
When it comes to breast cancer surgery

29
00:00:59.969 --> 00:01:01.069
it's done after removing the part around the cancer

30
00:01:01.069 --> 00:01:03.269
The easiest cancer surgery: Breast Cancer Surgery

31
00:01:03.269 --> 00:01:03.769
But...

32
00:01:03.769 --> 00:01:05.269
There are risks of nipple necrosis

33
00:01:05.269 --> 00:01:06.669
Breast reduction of any size can be possible

34
00:01:06.669 --> 00:01:08.269
But after breast cancer surgery

35
00:01:08.269 --> 00:01:10.119
there are possibilities of nipple necrosis

36
00:01:10.119 --> 00:01:12.019
But with breast reduction, you’re still

37
00:01:12.019 --> 00:01:13.818
removing tissue just like in breast cancer surgery

38
00:01:13.818 --> 00:01:15.668
So the real concern is whether blood flow to the nipple

39
00:01:15.668 --> 00:01:16.518
can be maintained

40
00:01:16.518 --> 00:01:18.418
So if nipples and areolas are removed

41
00:01:18.418 --> 00:01:20.318
there will be risks..

42
00:01:20.318 --> 00:01:21.617
Even Professor Lee Eun-suk said

43
00:01:21.617 --> 00:01:23.667
“I don’t really see why the nipple is so important”

44
00:01:23.667 --> 00:01:25.367
Because it would be easy surgery if there are no nipples

45
00:01:25.367 --> 00:01:27.367
Why does nipple necrosis happen?

46
00:01:27.367 --> 00:01:28.167
No one knows

47
00:01:28.167 --> 00:01:30.067
If the larger part of the breast is 
removed during breast cancer surgery,

48
00:01:30.067 --> 00:01:31.767
there must be higher risks of nipple necrosis

49
00:01:31.767 --> 00:01:33.566
Like this, if the breast reduction part is larger

50
00:01:33.566 --> 00:01:35.966
and the more sagging breast is removed

51
00:01:35.966 --> 00:01:37.416
[Larger surgical areas]
When blood vessels are running through the area

52
00:01:37.416 --> 00:01:39.266
[can disrupt blood vessels and cause tissue necrosis]
and the shape of the breast changes,

53
00:01:39.266 --> 00:01:41.616
those vessels can get compressed or bent

54
00:01:41.616 --> 00:01:44.565
and that’s when problems like necrosis can happen

55
00:01:44.565 --> 00:01:45.665
So you have to do it in moderation

56
00:01:45.665 --> 00:01:49.365
PD) In your opinion, what counts as a successful breast reduction?

57
00:01:49.365 --> 00:01:50.515
There are statistics

58
00:01:50.515 --> 00:01:52.115
It's based on the patient's body shape

59
00:01:52.115 --> 00:01:53.465
A long time ago, the anesthesiologist said

60
00:01:53.465 --> 00:01:54.664
Before they came into the operating room

61
00:01:54.664 --> 00:01:56.314
everyone's breasts were different

62
00:01:56.314 --> 00:01:58.414
[Huh..? The breasts look the same after the surgery..?]
but after the surgery, everyone goes out similarly

63
00:01:58.414 --> 00:02:00.464
That's the ideal shape

64
00:02:00.464 --> 00:02:02.314
This is called Sternal Notch

65
00:02:02.314 --> 00:02:03.564
'Sternal Notch'
The sternum area corresponding to the bottom of the center of the neck

66
00:02:03.564 --> 00:02:04.414
I guess so in Korean

67
00:02:04.414 --> 00:02:09.064
[Ideal breast]
18-23cm in distance from the sternal notch to the nipple

68
00:02:09.064 --> 00:02:10.213
I think it's the most appropriate

69
00:02:10.213 --> 00:02:11.413
You have to match it to that extent

70
00:02:11.413 --> 00:02:13.113
But if you're short, of course

71
00:02:13.113 --> 00:02:16.612
[What if you're a short patient?]
15 to 16cm high to fit the body type

72
00:02:16.612 --> 00:02:17.312
The plastic surgery textbook says that

73
00:02:17.312 --> 00:02:18.462
an equilateral triangle shape is ideal

74
00:02:18.462 --> 00:02:20.212
but in reality, that makes the breasts look too wide and flat

75
00:02:20.212 --> 00:02:22.812
So in our case, we do an isosceles triangle

76
00:02:22.812 --> 00:02:24.412
You might not really look closely at your own chest,

77
00:02:24.412 --> 00:02:26.562
but when you see yourself undressed, 
the breast extends from the nipple

78
00:02:26.562 --> 00:02:29.561
all the way to the front edge of the armpit

79
00:02:29.561 --> 00:02:31.061
[Due to Breast Sagging]
In reality, a lot of people have nipples

80
00:02:31.061 --> 00:02:33.961
that point downward and sit below the waistline

81
00:02:33.961 --> 00:02:35.261
In those cases, we need to bring it back up

82
00:02:35.261 --> 00:02:37.111
I don't pull it too much and pull it in moderation

83
00:02:37.111 --> 00:02:38.861
[The most important thing is the design of the surgery!]
So, you need to design well before surgery

84
00:02:38.861 --> 00:02:41.160
Design is almost everything

85
00:02:41.160 --> 00:02:42.610
I used to get over-corrected a lot in the past

86
00:02:42.610 --> 00:02:44.660
[Even after surgery, sagging still can happen..]
It does sag a little over time and you can't avoid it

87
00:02:44.660 --> 00:02:46.910
Since I said I'll do A/S for 10 years

88
00:02:46.910 --> 00:02:48.910
So, I had to over-correct it as a routine

89
00:02:48.910 --> 00:02:51.009
Complaining that it went up too high..

90
00:02:51.009 --> 00:02:52.109
So, I don't overdo it..

91
00:02:52.109 --> 00:02:54.309
If they're really disappointed

92
00:02:54.309 --> 00:02:56.059
 I raise it up again

93
00:02:56.059 --> 00:02:57.109
So, I recently had another surgery

94
00:02:57.109 --> 00:02:58.859
for someone after 8 years

95
00:02:58.859 --> 00:03:00.558
In the meantime,

96
00:03:00.558 --> 00:03:02.358
she gave birth and breastfeeding

97
00:03:02.358 --> 00:03:05.008
[A simple reoperation to remove the saggy breast!]
The skin underneath had stretched, like loose leather

98
00:03:05.008 --> 00:03:06.858
So in that case, I simply removed a bit more skin

99
00:03:06.858 --> 00:03:08.358
Such a procedure is a simple one

100
00:03:08.358 --> 00:03:10.357
The breast shape is a little different from person to person

101
00:03:10.357 --> 00:03:11.157
In my case

102
00:03:11.157 --> 00:03:15.007
These days! 
People hate the shape of their breasts spreading outward

103
00:03:15.007 --> 00:03:17.157
People used to say that their breasts 
spread out on the side are pretty

104
00:03:17.157 --> 00:03:19.107
But now, they like the shape 
where the breast only comes out forward

105
00:03:19.107 --> 00:03:22.607
I open the breast up to the front armpit line

106
00:03:22.607 --> 00:03:24.206
and pull it in from the outside to the inside

107
00:03:24.206 --> 00:03:26.656
[It's the difference between other hospitals and ours!]
I think that's the big difference

108
00:03:26.656 --> 00:03:28.056
Bring your soul together!!

109
00:03:28.056 --> 00:03:29.656
I'm proud of this

110
00:03:29.656 --> 00:03:31.456
I don't think there's a hospital like this

111
00:03:31.456 --> 00:03:37.780
