Breast augmentation in Korea - implant brands and recommendations?
I am planning to get breast augmentation in Korea. I know that Korean surgeons typically aim for more natural-looking results compared to Western preferences. What implant brands are commonly used in Korean clinics? I have heard of Motiva, Mentor, and Bellagel. Are there differences in quality and safety between these brands? I am looking for a natural teardrop shape rather than very round. What size is typically recommended for someone who is 165cm and 52kg? Also, is the surgery typically done under local or general anesthesia in Korea?

Korean breast augmentation does tend toward natural, proportionate results. Motiva, Mentor, and BellaGel are all used; Motiva and Mentor are widely regarded for their safety records and warranties, while you should specifically ask a clinic about the current regulatory status and track record of any brand they propose before deciding. For a natural teardrop look, surgeons consider implant profile and base width relative to your chest more than a single 'size' number — for a 165cm/52kg frame this is very individual, so rely on sizing/3D simulation at consultation rather than a fixed cc figure. Augmentation is typically done under general anesthesia in Korea. Bring reference photos of the natural outcome you want.
