Breast Augmentation Before and After

Whether you need to enlarge or reduce your breasts, leading Chicago Plastic Surgeon Dr. BYUN uses the very latest techniques to create a balanced look with minimal scarring.

Unlike other plastic surgeons, Dr. BYUN does not employ the anchor technique where a cut is made from the areola and below the areola with a wide cut east to west. Dr. BYUN feels that this results in unnecessary scarring and can lead to an unnatural pancake-like look. Instead, skilled plastic surgeon Dr. BYUN developed the BYUN Vertical Mastopexy Lifting Technique.

A variety of factors such as weight loss, pregnancy, and breast feeding can result in ptotic or droopy breasts. There is no one size fits all solution to this real issue that many women experience. Only an experienced and knowledgeable board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. BYUN has the ability to give such dramatic, natural, and beautiful results.

The last set of pictures illustrates the old and new position of the patient’s nipples. The position of the nipples in relation to the inframammary fold is a critical factor in determining whether a breast lift (i.e., Mastopexy) is required. As you can see, the patient’s nipple position is below the inframammary fold and the nipples are pointing at a 45 degree angle towards the ground. In this case, the nipples must be correctly repositioned above the level of the inframammary fold and the breasts need to be lifted.

For example, the patient above ws a size D cup but after losing weight went down to a C cup. She did not like the look of her breasts after the weight loss. Not only did she want her breastrs lifted but also wanted a more fuller look.

As you can see, Dr. BYUN’s approach has the benefit of less scarring with beautiful and natural results. His artistic work was complemented with breast implants because the patient desired a fuller look.

Breast Implant Misplacement Revision

This patient was unhappy with the results of her breast augmentation procedure that was done by another doctor when she was 21. As you can see, the misplacement of the implants resulted in a very unnatural look where the implants were placed too high on her chest. During her consultation, expert plastic surgeon Dr. BYUN explained all options and made recommendations to best fit her body and give the best result. A large percentage of Dr. BYUN’s cases are to correct the mistakes done by other surgeons.

During the surgery, an incision was made on the lower inframammary fold, the old implant was removed, scar tissue was removed, and adjustments were made to the pocket to achieve good contour. All of this was done endoscopically. New implants were inserted and checked for symmetry.

In order to avoid any additional scars, Dr. BYUN used the previous surgeons incision. However, the previous surgeon’s incision was not ideal for the new implants. Fortunately, the scars should disappear over time.

As you can see, the results of the procedure are dramatic, symmetrical, and beautiful. The patient is very happy with the end result of natural looking breasts.

Patient 3098

Patient 4000

Patient had asymmetry between left and right breasts; the right one is more projected due to the higher chest bone and slightly wider in diameter. With his surgical artistry, Dr. BYUN corrected the asymmetry by inflating the left implant more than the right.

Procedures

Implant: 300 cc inflated to 345 on left breast, 300 cc on right breast
Type: Saline
Incision: Inframammary

Prior to her procedure, the patient had a slight laxity and wider form on the right side of her chest. Dr. BYUN corrected this asymmetry by allowing more room on the left side of the chest, in order to compensate. His ability to envision the body in a balanced form proves to be favorable for patients that have asymmetrical proportions.
