ISAPS 2025: Key Takeaways from Dr. Choi's Presentation on 2,130 Breast Augmentation Cases

ISAPS 2025: A Clinical Presentation in Context

At the ISAPS 2025 World Congress in Singapore, Dr. Sangmun Choi presented a six-year retrospective analysis of 2,130 breast augmentation cases using ergonomic implants. The presentation reflects an important part of clinical practice: reviewing a surgeon’s accumulated cases, discussing operative decisions, and exchanging experience with peers.

What a Retrospective Series Can—and Cannot—Show

A retrospective case review can describe the experience of a particular surgeon and practice. It can help identify questions for further study, such as how patient selection, implant choice, surgical plane, and follow-up are approached over time. It does not by itself establish that a technique will produce a particular rate of complications, recovery, or satisfaction for every patient.

For that reason, this reviewed summary does not reproduce broad comparative percentages or imply that a conference presentation guarantees an outcome. Patients considering breast augmentation should discuss their individual risk profile and the limitations of available evidence with a qualified surgeon.

Relevance to Patient Consultation

Dr. Choi’s ongoing practice includes more than 3,000 Motiva-registered breast augmentations and more than 20,000 surgeries overall. He has been recognized as a Motiva Global KOL in 2024, 2025, and 2026. These facts can provide useful context for a consultation, but the practical question remains whether a proposed plan fits the patient’s anatomy, goals, and medical history.

At Ryan Plastic Surgery, the consultation may include examination, measurements, a discussion of surgical planes, and Crisalix 3D simulation when appropriate. Simulation is used to support communication about possible proportion and implant choices, not to promise a result. Where a tissue-preserving Preservé approach is being considered, the surgeon explains whether subfascial planning is suitable in that individual case.

Safety and Follow-up

The surgical setting includes a board-certified anesthesiologist and operating-room CCTV, while Dr. Choi’s single-surgeon model connects consultation, surgery, and postoperative review. Aftercare may include structured clinical review, surgeon-performed ultrasound when clinically indicated, and scar-care support. These components support continuity but do not eliminate the risks of surgery or the need for patient-specific follow-up.

The Appropriate Takeaway

The 2,130-case presentation is best understood as evidence of sustained clinical engagement and academic exchange. It should encourage informed questions, not replace them. Patients should ask how a surgeon’s experience relates to their own anatomy, the procedure being considered, recovery planning, and long-term care.
