Chief Complaint
The patient had concerns about the recovery process and post-operative inconvenience, and presented seeking breast augmentation.
Procedure
Implant augmentation (trans-axillary incision). Operated by Dr. Junghyun Nam (Associate Director).

During consultation and follow-up, the axillary scar and breast mobility were continuously assessed.
At approximately 1 month post-op, daily-life discomfort decreased. At the 6-month visit, both mobility and contour were confirmed to be stable.
