What is Pelvic Plasty?

Pelvic Plasty is a surgical procedure that can increase the size of the naturally narrow pelvis.

The pelvic bone of individuals born with a small and narrow skeletal structure
can be widened using a surgical method, transforming the body into an ideal hourglass figure.

Pelvic Plasty FAQ

How is the recovery process like?

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.
Where is the incision located and how big are they?

Small incisions (less than 5cm) are made inside the panty line, keeping the scars hidden when dressed in underwear.
What are the common risks and complications?

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.
Do I need to come in for post-surgery checkups?

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.
How long do I need to travel to Korea for Pelvic Plasty?

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.
