Abstract

There is a growing interest in breast augmentation surgery, which can most effectively maximize femininity, among modern women around the world. However, breast augmentation surgery is considered one of the most terrifying surgeries many women are afraid of, as many cases of its side effects have been reported. As a way to provide a complementary method to deal with it, this study investigated the effects of a non-surgical breast enhancement program by stretching soft tissue of the breast. According to the results, there was no change in body weight and breast elasticity, but there were marked increases in breast cup size, breast diameter and volume of the women who used this program. The external soft tissue expansion system was found to be effective in Korean women's change of breast shape. On the other hand, users should use this system regularly for some period of time, and this would limit their social activities. Therefore, for the effective use of this system, its users should make individual efforts.

오늘날 현대 여성들은 여성성을 가장 극대화할 수 있는 가슴 성형에 대한 여성들의 관심은 더욱 커지고 있다. 그러나 유방 확대술은 부작용에 대한 논란이 지속되고 있으며 많은 사람들이 두려워하고 있는 수술 중의 하나이다. 이러한 부분을 보완하고자 본 연구는 한국여성 23명을 대상으로 E사의 비수술적인 유방 확대 프로그램인 가슴 스트레칭 기기를 10주동안 사용하여 가슴이 형태적 변화를 연구하였다. 실험 결과로 체중의 변화는 없었으나 가슴의 컵 사이즈 확대, 유방 직경 증가, 유방 부피가 증가하였으며 가슴 탄력의 변화는 거의 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 가슴 외부 연부조직 확장 시스템이 동양인 한국 여성에게 가슴의 형태적 변화에 도움이 되는 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나 이 시스템은 일정 기간 사용 시간을 준수하기 위해 사회적인 생활에 제약을 받을 수 있으며 개인적인 노력이 뒷받침되어야 한다.
