Breast Revision Surgery

Although there was no Eight
in the beginning, there is an
Eight at the end.

Reoperations are more difficult than primary
operations, thus in order to avoid repeated
reoperations, hospitals should be chosen more
carefully and the procedure should be carried out
by a plastic surgeon with substantial surgical
expertise. Find the best strategy to ensure your
satisfaction.

Breast revision surgery is
advised after six months

It is advised to proceed once the prior
operation has healed for roughly six months.
The breast tissue stabilizes and begins to have
some form approximately six months after breast
surgery. After this time, it is advised that a precise
diagnostic be done in order to identify the cause of
the problem.

Various reasons and
surgical methods of
breast revision surgery

¹
Asymmetry

By changing the size of
the implant
and replacing
it, or by carefully
exfoliating the area
where the
implant will be
placed, the size of
the
space where the implant
will be
inserted can be
adjusted in cases
where
there is a difference in the
size
or shape of both
breasts and the line
under the breast.
²
A dissatisfaction of
the size or shape

If the size and shape
are not ideal,
it is quite
possible that the
implant's
size was
altered, the available
area
was insufficient,
or the implant was
displaced as a result of
poor
exfoliation.
Therefore, the area will
changed up or the
implant is
changed.
³
Capsular
contracture

By removing the film
and replacing
the implant
at the same time,
problems such inflam-
mation with
breast stiff-
ening and pain,
hematoma
from excessive bleeding,
foreign substances,
inappropriate
detachment
during surgery,
inadequate
management after
surgery, constitution, etc.
may be
resolved.
⁴
The implant
can be felt

When physiological
saline is used during
surgery, the implant may
be perceptible from the
top section if it is not
filled to the recommended
level. Reoperation in this
instance entails switching
out the implant with a
cohesive gel (kogel)
implant.
⁵
Implant rupture

It is difficult to detect an
implant rupture or
internal component leak
until there is an outward
change, and in severe
situations, it is
accompanied by pain and
swelling. Therefore , the
ruptured implant has to be
taken out and replaced as
soon as possible

In certain instances of revision surgery
for capsular contracture, the implant is replaced
alone
without removing the film, though this
should only be decided after consulting with a professional.

Individualized
safety type
based on expertise

Air-UNTACT SYSTEM

Implant insertion with minimum air contact

It is a method for properly positioning the implant
with little pressure
and without touching it.
The implant may be placed with
just a little incision,
minimizing bleeding and tissue damage

while also minimizing postoperative pain
and capsular contracture.

4K FULL HD ENDOSCOPE

Precise dissection without damage to blood vessels
and nerves up to the lower chest area

The 4K HD endoscope, which can inspect even
the tiniest blood vessels and nerves,
is used up to
the bottom of the chest to delicately exfoliate only the
exact design area
in order to create a dry pocket
that is the proper shape and size.

360-degree exfoliation is carried out for a beautiful
curvature of the breast
in order to avoid broadening of
the sternum or lowering of the implant.

DUAL-PLANE 3D

Tactile sensation determined by
implant placement and method

In this procedure, the implant is wrapped up
and down by inserting
the upper part beneath
the muscle and the lower half under the fascia.

It is possible to generate a soft feel and a natural
underlining of the
breast even while laying down
with this method, and there is minimal
change in shape.
It also has an incredibly low incidence of
capsular
contracture.

3D VECTRA

3D ultra-high resolution body line scanning
for design prediction

Prior to surgery, we take exact measurements of
each patient's body form,
including breast volume,
nip distance, and asymmetry. Through careful
analysis
of these measurements, the existing body line and
structure are
verified in three dimensions.
By anticipating certain surgical outcomes,
such as
the size you want and implants that fit your body type,

you may evaluate and confirm the matching
breast form in advance.

The best procedure is
one that is safe.

Possession of differentiated
medical technology and
advanced surgical equipment

With 20 years of specialized
knowledge, plastic surgeons,
many of whom are Yonsei University
graduates, provide
individualized
care both before and after 1:1
operation.

Surgical safety
assurance system

The Eight Plastic Surgery Clinic
contains an
uninterruptible
power supply (UPS) that
reliably
delivers energy, dantrolene to

prevent malignant hyperthermia,
and a syringe
pump to regulate
the pace of intravenous infusions.

An air shower system
and
an aseptic
clean room

We remove dust from the body
with a complete
aseptic clean
room system to avoid the entrance

of tiny microorganisms and an
air shower before
entering
the operation room so that we are

aseptically clean when we enter.

⁴

Dual monitoring &
resident anesthesiologists

There is a resident anesthesia
expert who
uses ETCO2
to evaluate breathing during

surgery and continuously
monitors anesthesia.

Program for
postoperative treatment
to accelerate recovery

The kind of operation determines the treatment strategy,
as well as the time, interval, and progress that may be
managed. In order to optimize the advantages of surgery
and minimize side effects, Eight runs a post-surgical
care program for each part.

SCAR MANAGEMENT

In order to limit the amount of scarring after surgery, skin suture tape
and a specific coating agent for bacterial protection are used.
A scar management program appropriate for the healing period,
such as scar laser and vitamin moisturizing management, is used to treat it.

SKIN REGENERATION

It is possible to manage for a variety of reasons by irradiating the
irritated area after surgery with the wavelength and intensity of light
that is appropriate for the therapeutic purpose, such as Heallight
and Smartlook. It is a wise management to do promptly.

SWELLING MANAGEMENT

Using high-frequency equipment, swelling is handled in accordance
with surgical items and individual conditions in order to reduce pain,
swelling, and bruising. It aids in restoring the softness and elasticity
of toughened skin.

BREAST IMPLANT WARRANTY

Implant warranty insurance will be provided to deal with problems
that might occur after surgery. A free revision or reoperation is
provided if an issue arises within a year. For a period of up to ten years,
the implant will be replaced without charge in the event of rupture or
capsular contracture stage 3–4.
