Breast augmentation perfectly tailored for an active lifestyle

Tissue Preservation Brast Augmentation What is tissue-preserving breast augmentation?

The breasts are supported by the chest wall by round ligament tissue. This is a technique devised by the renowned American Dr. Hammond that enlarges the breasts by naturally inserting breast implants into that ligament tissue.

  • 01

    The implant is delicately inserted beneath the mammary tissue or into the partial subfascia space without damaging the pectoralis major muscle at all.

  • 02

    The entire process is performed under general anesthesia and does not involve touching the muscles, making it particularly suitable for women with an active lifestyle who enjoy exercise.

  • 03

    This method is designed to insert the implant into the ligament structure, minimizing bottom-out and ensuring the implant sits in a structurally stable position. However, due to individual variations in the size of the ligament space, the insertable implant volume may be limited to approximately 250cc. (This varies depending on the thickness of the rib cage and tissues.)

  • 04

    In particular, it has the advantage of high shape stability because it secures space by finely dissecting only the necessary range along a very thin and hard layer called the ‘Partial Subfascia’ rather than a simple submandibular layer.

  • 05

    This surgical method is a realistic and efficient option for those who are hesitant about general anesthesia or desire breast augmentation that allows for a quick return to daily life.

key POINT Key Points of Tissue-Preserving Breast Augmentation

  • Underline stability

    Because it is inserted into the ligaments surrounding the breast, the likelihood of bottoming out after surgery is very low.

  • Zero pectoral muscle damage

    Since there is no damage to the pectoralis major muscle, there are no restrictions on exercises that involve significant upper body movement after surgery.

  • Stable pocket structure

    With a design that minimizes tissue dissection and provides precise support, the shape remains consistently uniform even with minimal use of a compression bra after surgery.

  • Prevention of implant movement and deformation

    Since the implant is not inserted beneath the pectoralis major muscle, animation deformity does not occur.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS Recommended target

  • CHECK 01 Active lifestyle individuals concerned about pain and recovery time

    Tissue-preserving breast augmentation features a smaller dissection area and minimizes tissue damage, resulting in less burden and faster recovery.
    The time required to return to your usual exercise routine, such as running, weight training, or yoga, is short.

  • CHECK 02 For those who prefer a natural shape over a large size

    It is well-suited for those who seek natural lines that harmonize with their body shape rather than excessive volume. It is particularly satisfying for those who desire a soft volume of around 250cc or prefer a "feeling like my own breasts."

  • CHECK 03 For those who find it difficult to take a long vacation and want a quick recovery

    It is especially suitable for those who find it difficult to take a long vacation due to the short recovery period. You can return to your daily routine, including work and childcare, with a quick recovery.

  • CHECK 04 Those who wish to avoid general anesthesia

    This is suitable for those who find general anesthesia burdensome and prefer a lighter and more comfortable sedation anesthesia. It involves less surgical stress and allows for faster recovery on the same day.

surgical method Surgery method

The surgery is performed by encapsulating the implant within the ligaments surrounding the chest.
This method is designed to allow the implant to blend naturally with the body's anatomical structure.

  • 01

    We proceed with the design considering chest width, curves, and nipple position.

  • 02

    Delicately dissect only the necessary area beneath the mammary tissue or into the partial subfascia.

  • 03

    The implant is inserted so that it settles stably into the ligaments surrounding the chest.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. Since it does not damage the pectoralis major muscle, there is no animation deformity of the implant during upper body exercises.

  • Tissue-preserving breast augmentation is the method most optimized for natural volume (usually around 250cc, though it may increase depending on the rib cage) because implants are inserted into the surrounding ligament tissue. It is particularly well-suited for those who desire a "natural look like their own body" rather than large volume.

  • Various implants such as Motiva, Mentor Extra, and Mentor Boost are available, and the most natural and stable combination is selected by analyzing body type, skin thickness, and chest width.

  • No. Tissue-sparing breast augmentation is performed only through an inframammary fold incision.
