Dr. Chang Jae-hoon and the Medical Team

The Body Plastic Surgery is led by Dr. Chang Jae-hoon, a board-certified plastic surgeon whose clinical focus includes breast surgery.

Dr. Chang is a lifetime member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons and the Korean Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. He has also participated in domestic and international plastic surgery conferences and professional education related to breast implants.

The clinic identifies Dr. Chang as a Motiva Key Clinic Expert. He has also participated in professional programs involving Mentor breast implants.

Other members of the medical team include plastic surgeons Dr. Lee Hoon-joo, Dr. Kwon Jung-oh and Dr. Lee Jae-wook. The clinic also states that an anesthesiology specialist is present to oversee appropriate surgical anesthesia and patient monitoring.

Patients should confirm which surgeon will perform their consultation, operation and postoperative care.

Personalized Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is not determined by implant size alone. The surgeon must consider the patient’s chest width, breast tissue, skin elasticity, nipple position, rib-cage shape and overall body proportions.

During consultation, the surgical plan may include decisions about:

• Implant brand and model
• Implant width and projection
• Incision location
• Implant placement
• Correction of existing asymmetry
• Nipple and areola position
• Desired upper-pole fullness
• Natural versus more defined volume
• Postoperative recovery and monitoring

The goal is to select an implant that fits the patient’s anatomy while creating an appropriate and balanced breast shape.

Motiva Breast Implants

Motiva implants are among the breast implant options available at The Body Plastic Surgery. Different Motiva models vary in shape, surface characteristics, projection and movement.

They may be considered by patients seeking:

• Natural movement
• Customized implant dimensions
• Balanced upper and lower breast volume
• A breast shape suited to an active lifestyle
• Implant selection based on chest measurements

The choice of Motiva does not eliminate the risks associated with breast augmentation. Patients should discuss implant rupture, capsular contracture, displacement, infection, sensory changes and the possibility of future revision.

Mentor Breast Implants

The clinic also provides Mentor breast implants. Available implant types and profiles should be confirmed during consultation.

The surgeon may compare Motiva and Mentor according to:

• Implant width
• Projection
• Gel characteristics
• Desired breast shape
• Existing breast tissue
• Skin elasticity
• Patient preference
• Previous breast surgery

No implant brand is automatically the best choice for every patient. Selection should be based on anatomy, clinical judgment and informed patient preference.

Fat-Transfer Breast Augmentation

Fat-transfer breast augmentation uses fat collected from another body area, processed and injected into the breasts.

This option may be considered by patients who want:

• A modest increase in breast volume
• Softer, natural-feeling enhancement
• Correction of localized contour irregularities
• Improvement of selected asymmetries
• Body contouring combined with breast enhancement

Not all transferred fat survives permanently. Some volume is naturally absorbed during healing, and additional sessions may be required.

Possible risks include fat necrosis, oil cysts, calcification, infection and asymmetry. Patients must also have enough donor fat for the planned procedure.

Breast Revision Surgery

Breast revision is more complex than primary augmentation because the surgeon must account for implants, scar tissue, capsule formation and changes to the breast envelope.

Revision surgery may be considered for:

• Capsular contracture
• Implant rupture
• Implant displacement
• Bottoming out
• Double-bubble deformity
• Rippling or visible implant edges
• Breast asymmetry
• Unsatisfactory implant size
• Changes following pregnancy or weight loss
• Pain or discomfort
• Desire for implant replacement or removal

The operation may involve implant exchange, capsule treatment, pocket adjustment, internal support, breast lifting or fat grafting.

The final surgical plan can only be confirmed after examining the breasts and reviewing previous implant information.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat and skin to create a smaller and more proportionate breast shape.

It may be considered by patients experiencing:

• Neck, shoulder or back discomfort
• Shoulder grooves from bra straps
• Skin irritation beneath the breasts
• Difficulty exercising
• Clothing limitations
• Breast asymmetry
• Emotional discomfort related to breast size

The incision pattern depends on the amount of reduction, breast shape and degree of sagging. Scars are permanent but generally mature and fade over time.

Breastfeeding ability and nipple sensation may be affected, so patients should discuss future pregnancy and breastfeeding plans before surgery.

Breast Lift for Sagging Breasts

A breast lift, or mastopexy, raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning breast tissue and the nipple-areola complex.

It may be performed alone or combined with:

• Breast augmentation
• Breast reduction
• Implant replacement
• Fat grafting
• Correction of asymmetry

A lift alone does not necessarily create significant upper-breast fullness. Patients who want both elevation and additional volume may require implants or fat transfer.

Breast Asymmetry Correction

Breast asymmetry can involve differences in breast size, shape, inframammary-fold position, nipple position or chest-wall structure.

Treatment may require different procedures on each side, such as:

• Different implant sizes
• Breast augmentation on one side
• Reduction on the larger side
• Bilateral lifting with different adjustments
• Fat grafting
• Nipple or areola correction

Perfect symmetry cannot be guaranteed, but individualized planning can improve balance.

Nipple and Areola Surgery

The Body Plastic Surgery provides selected nipple and areola procedures, including:

• Nipple reduction
• Correction of inverted nipples
• Areola reduction
• Nipple or areola asymmetry correction

The technique depends on anatomy, desired change and the importance of preserving sensation or breastfeeding potential.

Gynecomastia Surgery for Men

Gynecomastia surgery addresses enlarged male breast tissue caused by excess glandular tissue, fat or both.

Treatment may involve:

• Liposuction
• Direct removal of glandular tissue
• Combined gland removal and liposuction
• Skin removal in more advanced cases
• Nipple and areola repositioning when necessary

A physical examination helps determine whether the fullness is primarily fatty or glandular. Patients may also require medical evaluation if hormonal, medication-related or other health factors are suspected.

MTF Breast Augmentation

The clinic lists breast augmentation for transgender women. Treatment planning considers chest width, skin elasticity, existing tissue, nipple position and the desired degree of feminization.

Patients should discuss hormone use, medication, previous procedures and their preferred breast shape during consultation. Implant selection and surgical technique may differ from those used for cisgender female patients because chest anatomy can vary.

FTM Chest Surgery

FTM chest surgery may involve breast-tissue removal and chest contouring to create a flatter, more masculine chest.

The surgical method depends on:

• Breast size
• Skin elasticity
• Nipple position
• Amount of excess skin
• Desired scar pattern
• Need for nipple grafting or repositioning

Patients should discuss scar placement, nipple sensation, contour irregularities and the possibility of revision before surgery.

Liposuction and Body Contouring

The Body Plastic Surgery provides liposuction for localized fat that is resistant to weight loss.

Potential treatment areas include:

• Abdomen
• Flanks and waist
• Upper arms
• Back
• Bra-line area
• Thighs
• Hips
• Knees
• Calves
• Double chin
• Other suitable localized areas

Liposuction improves body contour but is not a weight-loss treatment. Results depend on fat distribution, skin elasticity and postoperative lifestyle.

Mini Liposuction

Mini liposuction targets a smaller, localized area and may be appropriate when the patient does not require extensive fat removal.

It may offer a more limited procedure and recovery than large-volume liposuction, but suitability depends on the treatment area and desired degree of change.

Tummy Tuck and Abdominal Lifting

A tummy tuck may be considered when the abdomen has loose skin, separated abdominal muscles or contour changes that liposuction alone cannot correct.

The procedure can address:

• Excess abdominal skin
• Lower-abdominal overhang
• Muscle separation
• Changes following pregnancy
• Loose skin after significant weight loss
• Abdominal fat combined with skin laxity

A tummy tuck leaves a permanent lower-abdominal scar and generally requires more recovery than liposuction. The position and length of the scar depend on the extent of correction.

Body-Lift Surgery

Body-lift surgery removes and reshapes excess skin following major weight loss, pregnancy or age-related changes.

Depending on the patient’s needs, treatment may involve the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs or other areas. Larger operations require careful evaluation of general health, nutritional status and recovery support.

Facial Plastic Surgery and Nonsurgical Treatments

Although breast and body procedures are its primary focus, The Body Plastic Surgery also provides:

• Double-eyelid surgery
• Ptosis correction
• Rhinoplasty
• Facial lifting
• Thread lifting
• Botox
• Dermal fillers
• Selected skin treatments

Availability and the responsible surgeon should be confirmed when booking.

Anesthesia and Surgical Safety

The clinic states that an anesthesiology specialist is present and that emergency-response and monitoring equipment are available.

Before surgery, patients should disclose:

• Current medication and supplements
• Previous anesthesia reactions
• Allergies
• Smoking and nicotine use
• Cardiovascular or respiratory conditions
• Blood-clotting disorders
• Pregnancy or possible pregnancy
• Previous breast or body operations
• History of deep-vein thrombosis
• Use of hormone medication

Preoperative testing, fasting and medication instructions depend on the procedure and anesthesia method.
