Types of Implants Used in Breast Augmentation
1. Types of Implants

Depending on the material of the implant shell, implants are divided into smooth and textured types.
(Drop-shaped implants, when placed inside the breast, do not stay fixed and may shift, so only textured implants are used.)

Difference Smooth Surface Implant Textured Surface Implant
Image
Material Smooth surface Smooth implant with textured surface outside
Features The surgery creates a space inside the breast, allowing the implant to shift within that space The implant fits snugly and is firmly fixed
Advantages Movement and soft feel The implant adheres closely to the breast tissue, reducing the risk of capsular contracture
Disadvantages To secure the implant to the tissue, a minimum of 6 months of massage is required Thin breast tissue or reduced skin elasticity may make the implant palpable
Recommended For Low elasticity breasts, soft skin, and underdeveloped breasts For breasts that are already full, where breast or chest tissue will harden, making massage difficult
2. Implant Shapes

Drop-shaped implants are designed to resemble real breasts, providing a natural breast shape after surgery.
Dr.Kung's breast surgery team analyzes the patient's breast condition to select the most suitable implant.

Classification Drop-Shaped Implant Round-Shaped Implant

Surgical Methods
1. Different Incision Surgical Methods
Classification Axillary Incision Periareolar Incision
Image
Method Incision of approximately 2~4cm along the axillary fold Incision along the edge of the areola
Advantages Small scar, scars not visible
Maintains a natural shape
Does not damage breast tissue
Quick recovery 		Easy to ensure space for implant placement and arm mobility
Disadvantages Immediately after surgery, the arm will have difficulty moving Cannot be performed for individuals with small areolas
Classification Under Breast Incision
Image
Method Incision of 3~4cm along the fold below the breast
Advantages Simple surgery and short surgery time
Disadvantages Scars may be visible when lying down
2. Surgical Methods Based on Implant Placement Position

Depending on the position of the breast implant, it can be classified into several methods: submuscular implant,
subglandular implant, and the Dual Plane method, which places the implant both above and below the muscle.

Classification Submuscular Implant Dual Plane (for small, asymmetric breasts)
Image
Method Submuscular implant placement Implant placed with 2/3 under the muscle and 1/3 above the muscle
Advantages Soft feel and natural breast shape, preferred by many people The dual plane creates a double fold line
that can prevent the breast from sagging.
Disadvantages Stretching of breast tissue and muscle can cause pain
and longer recovery time		 A difficult surgical method,
so if performed by an unskilled surgeon,
it may lead to complications later
Classification Subglandular Implant
Image
Method Implant placed beneath the breast tissue
above the pectoral muscle
Advantages Simple surgery method as it reduces muscle stretch
Disadvantages This method is less commonly used due to
the potential for capsular contracture.
