Glamfit Breast Augmentation
with better line, movement, and feel
Breast augmentation that creates breasts as natural and harmonious as your own, with the implant and surgical method optimized for you
Glamfit Breast Augmentation
Body types differ from person to person, as do the desired volume, line, and feel, so high satisfaction comes from understanding the patient's condition and needs in detail before performing breast surgery.
You may think breast surgery simply makes the breasts larger, but the implant must be placed taking into account each person's chest size, degree of sagging, and skin thickness, so it calls for a highly experienced medical team.

Surgical Method
Based on each person's breast condition, size, and shape, and after a thorough consultation with a specialist, we perform one-on-one customized breast surgery using implants such as Sebbin, Mentor, and Motiva.
The implant, incision site, and implant position differ for each person, and surgery that does not interfere with breastfeeding is also possible.

Surgical Methods by Implant Position
-
Under the breast tissue-
AdvantagesDamage to blood vessels and nerves can be avoided during surgery, and because the muscle wraps around the implant, the implant cannot be felt directly, so the breast looks more natural after surgery and capsular contracture is less common.
-
DisadvantagesWith sagging breasts, the area around the fold under the breast can look unnatural, and a double fold line may appear.
-
-
Under the chest muscle-
AdvantagesIt is advantageous for creating a natural breast shape in athletes with well-developed chest muscles, patients with moderate breast ptosis, and patients with obesity.
-
DisadvantagesWhen there is very little breast tissue, the implant may be felt, and capsular contracture is more likely.
-
-
Dual planeThis combines the advantages of the two methods above. For any breast shape, adjusting how much of the implant is exposed beneath the mammary tissue, as in the illustration, creates the most natural-looking breast possible. Today, dual plane breast augmentation is performed as standard practice.
Surgical Methods by Incision Site
-
Underarm (transaxillary) incisionAn incision of about 3–4 cm is made in the crease of the armpit, and a pocket is created for the implant.
-
AdvantagesBecause the incision is in the crease of the armpit, the scar is small and hard to notice. Damage to the blood vessels and nerves around the nipple is reduced, so nipple sensation is well preserved, and the surgery is short and relatively simple, which allows for a fast recovery.
-
DisadvantagesThe surgical view is somewhat limited, and dissecting down to the lower part of the breast is technically demanding.
-
IndicationsBecause the scar can be hidden in the armpit crease, this method brings high satisfaction, especially among women who are sensitive about scars, as is common in Korea, and it is currently the most frequently performed method.
-
-
Inframammary fold incisionAn incision of about 3–4 cm is made along the hidden fold under the breast.
-
AdvantagesBecause the surgeon operates with a direct view inside the breast, the surgery is more straightforward and precise dissection is possible, so good results can be expected.
-
DisadvantagesA scar remains along the fold under the breast.
-
IndicationsIn Korea, this method has been avoided out of concern about the scar, but with intensive scar care now available, more people are choosing it. It is used for precise correction in revision breast surgery or in cases of severe sagging.
-
Candidates
- You have small breasts and want more volume
- You want to correct asymmetric breasts
- Your breast volume and firmness have decreased after childbirth and breastfeeding
- You want revision surgery because of side effects such as capsular contracture after breast surgery
- Your breasts lack volume because of well-developed chest muscles
Glamfit Breast Augmentation Q&A
-
Do breast implants need to be replaced over time?The implants used today are highly durable, but they do not last forever and may need to be replaced after a certain period. They generally last about 10–15 years, though they may last longer depending on each person's condition.
If problems such as implant rupture or capsular contracture (hardening of the tissue around the implant) occur, replacement or removal may be needed. It is important to monitor the condition of the implant with regular ultrasound or MRI scans. -
Can the breasts feel unnatural after breast surgery?The feel can vary with the type of implant and how it is placed, and the breasts may feel unnatural at first. If capsular contracture occurs, the breast can harden, so massage or appropriate care is needed. When there is enough of your own tissue (fat, skin, etc.) over the implant, a natural feel is more likely. If you want a natural feel, it is important to choose an implant suited to your body type and skin condition.
-
Can the shape change after breast surgery?It takes about 3–6 months for the implant to settle properly, and the shape can change during recovery. To prevent sagging or implant movement, it is important to wear a compression bra early on and avoid strenuous exercise and strong pressure. Over time, the implant settles naturally and adapts to the breast tissue, and the final shape takes form. Breast shape can change with factors such as weight fluctuations, aging, and childbirth, so long-term care may be needed.
