Breast Examination

 Breast Examination

Dr. Jaebeom Seo from Banobagi Plastic Surgery Clinic

Before breast surgery, such as breast augmentation, reduction surgery, or autologous fat grafting, many people are only thinking about the implant selection or the incision site, expecting what it will look like after surgery. However, some people receive unexpected results from the breast examination prior to surgery and are bewildered.

The reason is that breast tumors are quite often found during breast examinations. We don't take breast examination seriously in our stride, but if we receive the result before surgery, we may feel relieved and worried at the same time thinking that it's fortunate to find early while also worried about whether the operation will be affected.

If a breast tumor is found, it is safer and better to remove it before surgery. Also for the case of breast augmentation using implants, it has to be checked first if there’s an abnormal lesions through mammography and breast ultrasound. If something abnormal is found, performing the necessary biopsy, removal procedure, and treatment before surgery is necessary. 

In the case of autologous fat grafting to the breasts, calcification of fat may happen after breast augmentation, and it is difficult to distinguish early calcification from micro-calcification which is a sign of breast cancer. For this reason, it is often used to obtain data through pre-operative examination and to differentiate it from breast cancer when calcifications are discovered. In breast reduction surgery, pre-operative ultrasound test is used to identify mammary gland tissue, fat mass, etc. to find a suitable surgical method, as well as to secure data through preoperative examination because there is a possibility of breast tissue changes and calcifications after surgery.

Even after breast plastic surgery, check-ups are essential. The reason is that it is possible to find out whether the implant is damaged, how the position of the implant is, whether capsular contracture has not occurred, and what is the cause of edema after surgery. In addition, it is necessary for checking the thickness of the film, early diagnosis of complications, and diagnosis of breast diseases and breast cancer.

Dr. Jaebeom Seo from Banobagi Plastic Surgery Clinic said “Breast examination is essential for breast health before and after breast surgery. It is recommended to undergo a breast surgery in a well-equipped clinic with examination equipment and systems, and to receive regular examinations.”

Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery

Scar? Sausage-shaped Double Eyelids?!

People do not want to look too artificial or unnatural after plastic surgery that they got to improve their concern. Especially, in the case of double eyelid surgery, many people have a vague prejudice that it should be performed using non-incisional method rather than incisional method for a natural result.

Non-incisional method is a method of overlapping the eyelids by making a knot with a thread along the line designed without incising the skin. On the other hand, incisional method is a method of incising the eyelids along the line designed and also removing excessive muscle and fat then fixing remaining muscle and skin together.

 

 

Because incision sounds and feels heavy, a lot of people are afraid that it will leave scars or result in sausage-shaped double eyelids. But, there is no significant difference in surgical results of a surgeon with excellent surgical skills, whether it’s incisional or non-incisional. Experts say that incisional method is rather more advantageous when eyelids skin sagging is severe or if there’s a lot of fat.

 

 

Dr. Yoojung Lee from Banobagi Plastic Surgery Clinic said that incisional double eyelid surgery has many advantages in being able to make various lines and create brighter and clearer eyes. The biggest misconception is that scars remain with incisional method, but incisional method can also create a result as natural as non-icisional method. Dr. Lee also said determining how good or bad an eye specialist depends on the difference in how naturally the incisional method is performed.

Scars made from the incision will look obvious only right after the surgery, but it gradually fades away over time and become almost inconspicuous after about 6 months. Swelling is most severe for around 2-3 days, and then subsides naturally over time. Returning to daily life is possible after about 3 to 5 days, and the stitches are removed after about 5 to 7 days.

Dr. Lee also said “It is a misconception to think that incisional double eyelid surgery usually leave a thick scar and swelling is difficult to recover because it lasts a longer time. If a specialist with abundant experience performs the surgery, worrying about scarring and longer recovery time can be reduced by making the incision natural enough.” In addition, she advised that if you decide to undergo incisional double eyelid surgery, you must carefully consider the skill and know-how of the surgeon then choose a hospital.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision Rhinoplasty

Dr.Kyungho Ko from Banobagi Plastic Surgery Clinic said “As the nose is in the center of the face, so surgery should be performed considering of overall ideal ratio.”

Among various plastic surgeries, many people consider undergoing ‘nose job’ because it can improve the overall appearance, impression, and image with just a slight change in mm. As nose is in the center of face, surgery should be performed considering the ideal ratio to achieve satisfactory results harmonizing with the facial features.

Sometimes the nose becomes even shortened and inflamed with contracture when implant is forcibly inserted to raise the nasal bridge higher. Then revision rhinoplasty will be needed. The nose is very small in size, but the internal structure is complicated with bones, cartilage, and soft tissues intricately mixed in it. So rhinoplasty is a difficult surgery dealing the complicated internal structure of the nose, and revision rhinoplasty is even more difficult since structural and tissue changes already occurred from the previous surgery. Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly analyze the reason of revision surgery and the cause of side effects before diagnosing surgical plan.

Rhinoplasty revision cases can be classified into problems with nasal tip, nasal bridge, and implants. In the case of nose tip problem, the tip of the nose raised through surgery become gradually lower over time. The symptom appears when the cartilage is weak and the length of the collumella is short, and revision is required to extend the nasal septum itself or to strengthen the collumella. If the tip of the nose is lifted due to contracture, it is a side effect due to inflammation after nose job. After sufficiently removing the problematic tissue, the remaining tissue should be released and corrected. Revision can also be performed for the case that nasal tip is still dull even after the previous nose job by collecting or trimming cartilage again.

Revision is needed if the nasal bridge is too high, the width of the bridge feels too wide or narrow, and the bridge looks crooked. Just because the bridge of the nose is high doesn’t mean pretty at all, it may rather look too plastic. If you are dissatisfied with the height, it is necessary to correct it to an appropriate height in consideration of proportion with overall features. The width and shape from the front view should be determined according to the ratio from the starting point of the eyebrows and should be symmetrical.

A typical implant problem is when the implant is visible. If the skin is thin or the implant placed is too thick, it may be seen through the skin. Occasionally, some patients complain discomfort as they feel the implant moving on the bridge of the nose. This is because the implant inserted does not match the shape and line of the nose bridge, so it should be inserted in the correct position or replaced. Also when cartilage inserted at the tip of the nose is crooked or visible, it can be corrected using autologous tissue.

As indicated above, there are different cases that require revision rhinoplasty. It is essential to thoroughly analyze the cause, determine the cause of the side effects or dissatisfaction, and diagnose suitable surgical method. So it is important to choose a clinic and specialist with abundant know-how in rhinoplasty as the surgical method and materials used differ depending on the individual’s condition, even for similar cases.
