What the clinician needs to assess
Assessment considers breast development, tissue quality, health, previous breast procedures and realistic expectations. Discuss pregnancy plans, breastfeeding concerns, family and personal breast history and existing screening. The proposed size should be evaluated in relation to the available tissues and long-term trade-offs.

Explore procedure & clinicsUnderstand the proposed method
Implant augmentation: Adds volume with a device and entails implant-specific risks and long-term follow-up.
Fat-transfer augmentation: Uses harvested fat; candidacy and achievable volume differ from implants.
Augmentation with lift: May address both volume and position in selected patients, with additional scars and operative scope.
Discuss risk before consent
Risks include infection, bleeding, altered sensation, pain, scarring and an unsatisfactory position or shape. Implant-specific issues include rupture, capsular contracture and additional surgery. FDA information also addresses BIA-ALCL, reports of other cancers around implants and systemic symptoms. Ask for device-specific written risk information, without assuming that approval in one country establishes Korean authorization.
Agree the follow-up plan
Dressings or a support garment may be used, with individualized restrictions on lifting and upper-body activity. Obtain instructions for wound care and signs that warrant prompt review. Implant care extends beyond early healing: request a written surveillance plan, device records and an explanation of possible future costs and operations.
