Breast surgery

Breast reduction & asymmetry correction

For breasts large enough to cause shoulder pain, or clear asymmetry, excess tissue is reduced, the areola repositioned and both sides balanced.

Who it suits

  • Shoulder or back pain from breast weight
  • Markedly different breast sizes
  • Accompanying ptosis

Technique highlights

  • Areola repositioned to the new proportion
  • Scars planned to hide under the breast fold
  • Both sides balanced in one operation

Surgical steps

  • Measurement of size and areola level on both sides
  • Excess tissue removed and the breast lifted
  • Compression garment and scheduled wound review

Recovery & aftercare

  • One night of inpatient care for implant surgery
  • Compression garment worn as prescribed
  • Recommended stay in Korea of 7-10 days
  • No heavy lifting or intense exercise for 4-6 weeks

Risks & things to consider

  • Results depend on the individual's anatomy, skin condition and after-care
  • Always disclose medical conditions, medication and allergies before treatment
  • Every procedure carries risks and possible complications; consult a specialist before deciding

Frequently asked questions

Will there be significant scarring?

Reduction leaves more scarring than augmentation, but it is planned around the areola and under the fold.

Does it affect breastfeeding?

It can, depending on how much tissue is removed; tell the surgeon if you plan to have children.
