WOOA Plastic Surgery · HM Tower, 492 Gangnam-daero, near Sinnonhyeon and Gangnam Stations
At WOOA Plastic Surgery, breast augmentation adds size, shape and fullness using either implants or the patient’s own fat. The aim is never volume for its own sake, but curves that sit in proportion with your frame and look and feel like your own.

What Is Breast Augmentation at WOOA?
Breast augmentation reshapes and enlarges the breasts so they suit your overall silhouette. Before planning, WOOA’s breast team looks at the width of the breast base, tissue thickness, skin elasticity, the distance from the collarbone and how the breasts move during daily life. Volume can be added with:
- Implants: a good choice when tissue is thin or a clear increase in size is wanted.
- Fat Transfer: your own fat, chosen when a softer feel and gentler contour are the priority.
The goal is a balanced outline from the front, side and oblique views, and even when lying down – attractive in clothes and natural without them.
Why Choose WOOA for Breast Augmentation?
- Triple-Plane Method: WOOA’s own pocket technique, designed to lower the risk of animation deformity seen with the conventional dual-plane approach and to reduce post-operative pain.
- Natural I-Line Cleavage: a tailored pocket design and precise dissection keep the breasts neither too far apart nor unnaturally close.
- Minimal Dissection with Full HD Endoscopy: less tissue damage and bleeding, a faster recovery and a lower chance of capsular contracture.
- Short Incisions & Scar Care: compact incisions, with follow-up scar treatment from WOOA Dermatology.
Incision Options & Implants at WOOA
Incision Approach:
- Armpit (Axillary): hidden in the underarm crease – suited to those worried about scars, with little sagging or a less defined breast fold.
- Breast Fold: placed in the crease under the breast – suited to a clear fold line, lower-set breasts or those wanting a quick recovery.
Implant Choice:
- Motiva Ergonomix: soft, viscoelastic gel with Blue Seal technology and an embedded UDI chip for traceability.
- Mentor Extra & Mentor Boost: FDA-approved cohesive gel implants, available in smooth or micro-textured versions.
Safety Standards at WOOA
Every operation is planned and carried out with patient safety first, including:
- A board-certified anesthesiologist on site for every surgery.
- Pre-operative breast ultrasound to check the internal condition of the breast.
- Disposable instruments, university-hospital-level sterilization and dantrolene on hand for emergencies.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation may suit you if you:
- Feel your breasts are small for your body shape.
- Have noticed sagging or lost volume after childbirth.
- Want a discreet, natural-looking result and to help choose your own implant.
How Is Breast Augmentation Performed at WOOA?
WOOA’s breast augmentation follows a structured journey, from detailed planning through to long-term aftercare. Here is what each stage involves:
1. Assessment & Planning
- A breast ultrasound and examination assess the internal condition of the breast, and the implant is selected to match your individual breast shape. You can try different implant options during consultation.
2. Anesthesia
- Anesthesia is managed throughout by a board-certified anesthesiologist on site, with intercostal anesthesia used to improve comfort.
3. Incision & Pocket Creation
The implant is inserted through either:
- The armpit crease, or
- The breast fold.
Using Full HD endoscopy, the surgeon creates the pocket with minimal dissection.
4. Triple-Plane Placement
The implant is positioned using WOOA’s Triple-Plane Method, which aims to:
- Reduce animation deformity when the chest muscles move.
- Limit outward rotation, bottoming out and displacement of the implant.
The result is a natural shape with less discomfort after surgery.
5. Closure
The incision is closed with medical-grade glue, so no stitches need to be removed later.
6. Recovery and Aftercare
The lead surgeon monitors your progress directly after surgery. Aftercare includes:
- Wearing WOOA’s custom support bra for about a month.
- Scar ointment from two weeks and, where helpful, scar laser treatment later on.
- Regular check-ups to catch any issues early.
What to Expect During Recovery
- Gentle walking is usually possible around two weeks after surgery.
- Take extra care with activity for about one month; avoid upper-body strength training for three months.
- A support garment is worn for roughly one month, with an upper band for 2–4 weeks.

The breasts can feel firm at first and gradually soften as the tissues settle around the implant. Implant choice, placement and technique all shape how natural the final result feels, which is why WOOA puts so much weight on careful planning.
FAQs
Which Is Better: Implants or Fat Transfer?
It depends on your body and goals:
- Implants: usually advised when tissue is thin or a clear increase in size is wanted.
- Fat Transfer: suited to those who prefer a softer feel and more subtle contour.
Your surgeon will recommend the best option once your body type and available fat have been assessed.
How Is the Right Implant Chosen?
Shape, projection, surface texture and placement are chosen around your anatomy, including breast base width, tissue thickness and skin elasticity. You can also try different implants during consultation.
What Is the Recovery Time After Breast Augmentation?
Most patients can take gentle walks after about two weeks, with care advised for up to one month. Timing varies with implant type, placement and how you heal.
