Surgical Expertise: Comprehensive Breast Procedures at Dite

Breast Augmentation (Implant Surgery)

Dr. Lee specializes in various incision methods, including underarm (axillary) and under-the-breast (inframammary) folds. He is an expert in "Dual-Plane" placement. This technique places the implant partially under the muscle, which provides a more natural look and reduces the risk of the implant being felt through the skin.

Breast Lift and Reduction

For patients dealing with sagging (ptosis) due to aging or pregnancy, Dr. Lee performs advanced breast lifts. He removes excess skin and reshapes the breast tissue to create a firmer, higher profile. Similarly, for those suffering from the physical pain of overly large breasts, his reduction techniques focus on removing weight while maintaining nipple sensation and a beautiful shape.

Advanced Technology and Safety at Dite Plastic Surgery

1. Full HD Endoscopic Surgery: Dr. Lee uses a tiny camera to see inside the breast pocket during surgery. This allows for extreme precision, meaning he can avoid damaging nerves and blood vessels. This results in much less bruising and a faster recovery.
2. 3D Imaging Simulations: Before the surgery, patients can see a digital preview of their potential results. This helps in choosing the right implant size (such as Motiva or Mentor) to ensure the final look matches the patient's expectations.
3. Strict Safety Protocols: Dite maintains a 0.1% infection control protocol. Every surgery is monitored by an on-site, full-time anesthesiologist to ensure the patient’s vitals are stable throughout the entire procedure.

The Patient Journey: What to Expect

The Consultation

During your initial meeting, Dr. Lee analyzes your ribcage width, skin elasticity, and nipple position. He takes the time to explain which implant type and size will look most natural on your frame. This is the time to discuss your goals and ask any questions about the process.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery is a vital part of the success of your surgery. Dite Plastic Surgery offers a "Rapid Recovery System" designed to get you back to your life quickly.

• Days 1-3: Focus on rest. Minimal discomfort is managed with prescribed medication.
• Days 7-10: Most external stitches are removed, and you can begin light walking.
• Weeks 4-6: You can slowly resume exercise and see your final breast shape begin to settle.

Dite also provides specialized post-op care, including LED deswelling therapy and scar management lasers, to ensure the incision lines fade beautifully.
