Clinical approach
Anatomy Before Aesthetics
Dr. Choi’s approach to breast surgery begins with the patient’s anatomy rather than a standardized image. Consultation considers breast dimensions, existing soft tissue, symmetry, skin envelope, prior surgery, and the patient’s preferences. Those factors guide the discussion of implant selection, surgical plane, incision considerations, and whether a lift, revision, or hybrid fat-transfer discussion is appropriate.
For patients considering Motiva Preservé, the aim is to consider a tissue-preserving approach that can respect native breast structures and chest muscle function. In suitable cases, this may involve subfascial planning. The choice of technique is individualized; it is not a promise that every patient will have the same recovery, scar, or aesthetic result.
Crisalix 3D simulation can be used during planning to make a conversation about proportion and implant choices more tangible. It supports informed communication but does not replace examination or guarantee a surgical outcome. Dr. Choi emphasizes that a sound decision includes an honest discussion of uncertainty, limitations, and the risks inherent in elective surgery.
