Chief Complaint

Procedure
Implant augmentation. Procedure was selected after consultation, suited to body type and thoracic-cage morphology.
Post-operative Course
Operated by Dr. Junghyun Nam (Director). Design accounted for thoracic-cage morphology.
Edema subsided from around day 14 post-op, and midline cleavage formed over time. Contour stabilized.
