Breast Implants

Key Takeaway: Modern breast augmentation in Korea has shifted toward high-tech silicone gels like Motiva Ergonomix 2 and Mentor Boost, which prioritize gravity-responsive movement. The goal is ""Natural Dynamicism,"" where implants transition from a round shape when lying down to a teardrop slope when standing.

The Evolution of Implant Technology

The current landscape of breast surgery in South Korea is defined by a move away from the ""obviously operated"" look toward anatomical harmony. Surgeons primarily utilize 6th-generation cohesive silicone gels that offer maximum elasticity with a ""no-ripple"" guarantee, even for patients with very thin skin. To ensure the highest safety standards, clinics now employ the ""No-Touch"" Keller Funnel technique—a sterile delivery system that propels the implant into the pocket without skin contact—virtually eliminating the risk of bacterial biofilm and capsular contracture.

The Korean Innovation: Hybrid & AI Planning

Achieving the perfect fit in 2026 relies heavily on AI-driven 3D simulations (such as Divina or Crisalix), which allow patients to visualize exact volume outcomes based on their unique ribcage width and skin tension. For those seeking the ultimate soft touch, Korean surgeons often recommend Hybrid Breast Augmentation. This technique combines a structural implant with autologous fat grafting around the cleavage and upper pole, ""shading"" the edges of the implant to create a seamless, undetectable transition between the chest wall and the breast.

Top 3 Premium Implant Types in Korea (2026)

• Motiva Ergonomix 2: The current ""Gold Standard"" known for its Supersoft gel and built-in Qid® microchip for digital safety tracking.
• Mentor MemoryGel Boost: A top choice for those desiring ""Upper Pole Fullness,"" providing a firmer, more youthful lift and high projection.
• Sebbin Integrity: A French-made favorite used specifically for slim patients; its high-density gel minimizes visible rippling in the cleavage area.

Tip: Ask your surgeon about the ""Dual-Plane"" placement method—it places the top of the implant under the muscle for a smooth slope and the bottom under the tissue for a natural ""bounce.""
