Breast augmentation is a planned surgery in every sense: the decisions made before the operation shape both safety and results. Here is what patients preparing to visit JW Plastic Surgery in Seoul usually think through in advance.
Decisions that happen at consultation
Implant type, size, placement plane and incision site are decided together with the surgeon after examining the chest wall and soft tissue. Patients who arrive with reference photos and a clear sense of their goals — natural proportion versus visible volume — tend to have more productive consultations.
Health checks and scheduling
Pre-operative screening confirms fitness for anaesthesia. Certain medications and supplements may need pausing beforehand, so the medical questionnaire should be answered thoroughly at the enquiry stage. Surgery is then scheduled with enough post-operative days in Seoul for the first follow-up.
Recovery while travelling
A support garment is worn from the first days, and strenuous upper-body activity is avoided for several weeks. Most international patients stay around one to two weeks for initial recovery and follow-up before flying; the clinic provides individual guidance on flight timing.
