Anyone not satisfied with his/her body due to having a narrow pelvis
Male to female transgender patients who wish to correct a naturally male form and produce more curvature in the hip/thigh region
Anyone planning to receive adjuvant hip surgeries and want to accentuate their effects
Anyone who wants a permanent solution through a single surgery, rather than temporary procedures such as fillers or fat transfer
Anyone who is struggling to achieve an hourglass figure by working out, and wants an immediate outcome of pelvic augmentation
Risk of malposition, and asymmetric positioning
Only alters the lateral aspect of thigh width and not the pelvic width
Augmenting the thigh soft tissue makes the waist look lower and the legs shorter, especially when wearing jeans
Liposuction only removes fat from the waist, which can never change the pelvic bone figure
Fat does not stay, and with time, the injected fat would get absorbed by the body, requiring new and costly injections
Lack of firm fixation can cause stress failure due to pressure coming from belts, pants, weight, etc.
It is a widening of pelvic bone width, instead of hips or thighs, which leads to a more aesthetic body shape by making the legs look longer and waist higher
Easily Removable and has no effect on reproductive organs
High resistance to stress from belt or pants during ambulation
Immediate and definite pelvic augmentation effect
Firm fixation means there is minimal feeling of irritation, and no need to worry about displacement or deformity
You can walk right after the surgery, but the pain in the wound can occur for two to three days. You may slowly resume exercise at a less intense pace after two weeks, and return to normal activity by 6 weeks after surgery. The recovery time may vary depending on the patient's condition and the size of the prosthesis. Dr. Won will discuss resumption of activities with you on an individual basis.
Small incisions (less than 5cm) are made inside the panty line, keeping the scars hidden when dressed in underwear.
After surgery, symptoms of numbness in the front of the thigh (hypoesthesia) may occur, but most of them are expected to subside within six months. Also, like any other surgeries, there is a risk of bleeding, infection, and re-surgery. Complications such as pneumonia and respiratory problems can be caused by anesthesia.
You will be asked to come in 1 week, a month, and three months after the operation for a checkup. If you live far away or are in another country, your condition will be examined via email with x-ray photos you will take from your nearby hospitals. Also, there is no need for any replacement procedures as the implant is almost permanent. It is easily removable as well.
Although the hospitalization period is 3 days, we recommend patients to travel to Korea for at least 5 days since recovery varies depending on the individual and doctor's recommendation.

Uniportal surgical method is performed with a single incision that is less than 1cm whereas biportal method(the conventional surgical method) is performed with bigger incisions and it is inevitable to make incisions in bones, muscles and ligaments
Uniportal method has a measurably shorter recovery time
Uniportal method is minimally invasive with maximum effect
Uniportal method can be applied to treat cervical disc herniation and/or stenosis since cervical spine has the smallest vertebral body in our spine where space is limited for 2 surgical devices to enter
Uniportal method offers better clinical outcomes and minimal tissue damage/trauma
Uniportal method is performed under local anesthesia
Uniportal method has lower risk of relapse or complications
| Uniportal(1-portal) | Biportal(2-portals) | |
|---|---|---|
| Surgical Method | Endoscope and treatment device are inserted into one portal. | Endoscope and treatment device are inserted into each of 2 incisions, respectively. |
| No. of Incisions | 1 | 2 |
| Size of Incisions | less than 1cm | 2cm per incision |
