Breast Augmentation Patient 16

Female patient in her 20s underwent an awake revision breast augmentation to improve the appearance of her breasts. She wanted fuller volume with a smoother, more natural shape. Her prior surgery was performed elsewhere, and she specifically sought Dr. Kim for his awake approach to revision breast implant surgery. The revision breast augmentation was performed using only local anesthesia (no general anesthesia, no IV sedation, no intubation), allowing her to remain fully awake and comfortable throughout the procedure.
Dr. Kim’s awake breast augmentation avoids the risks associated with general anesthesia, including life-threatening blood clots and memory loss. His minimal bleeding method significantly minimizes the risk of capsular contracture, a condition where scar tissue causes the breast to harden and distort. His approach leads to faster recovery, minimal downtime, and more natural-looking, softer results. Dr. Kim’s advanced breast technique includes creating an internal bra using the patient’s own tissue to support the implants, improving long-term results and breast shape.
