WOORI Implant Removal Surgery

What makes Woori implant removal surgery special?

REASON 01

"Checkups are mandatory, not optional."

In the case of implant removal surgery, a checkup must be performed before and after surgery for safety.

REASON 02

“When symptoms are suspected, serous tumors and film specimens are examined.

When symptoms of an unhealthy film are suspected, a serous xenograft or fine needle inhalation can be performed.

What is anaplastic large cell lymphoma?

When an implant is inserted into the body for reasons such as breast augmentation, a tough film is formed around the implant as part of self-protection measures against foreign matter.
This is usually referred to as the film.

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a type of lymphoma that develops in this membrane.

  • Cause

    The exact cause of anaplastic large cell lymphoma is unknown.
    However, in the case of anaplastic large cell lymphoma associated with a breast implant, it is estimated that it may be associated with chronic inflammation caused by a rough-textured implant.

Incision Site for Breast Implant Removal Surgery

The incision is generally performed through the existing incision site for removal and replacement surgery in consideration of the scar that will remain due to the previous breast augmentation.

However, if the patient wishes, the implant can be removed and replaced with an incision in a place other than where the existing incision is.

Baseline Incision

This is a particularly good way to create a pretty shape with less pain and relatively quick recovery.
It is an incision method that was previously avoided because of scars, but recently, intensive care for scars has become possible. It has now become an option that many people choose as the breast covers the incision made along the line under the breast.

Armpit Incision

This has the advantage of leaving scars that are difficult to see. It can reduce damage to blood vessels and nerves during surgery, and there is little risk of infection or loss of sensation in the nipples.
The operation time is not long, which means that recovery is also relatively quick.

Areola Incision

Since an incision is made in the center of the pocket where the implant will be placed, it is easy to secure the field of view; the short path allows for easy comparison.
This method has many advantages, such as also being used to improve sagging breasts and little possibility of asymmetry.
