Breast Reduction in Seoul | Gangnam Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic & Cost

What is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a smaller, more proportionate breast size. This procedure is ideal for those experiencing physical discomfort or self-consciousness due to overly large breasts.

Common reasons for breast reduction include:

• Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain
• Shoulder grooves from bra straps
• Skin irritation or rashes under the breasts
• Difficulty finding well-fitting clothing
• Limited physical activity due to breast size
• Desire for a more proportionate body shape

Dr. Kwon at Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic customizes each procedure to achieve natural-looking results while maintaining breast symmetry and sensation.

Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Reduction?

You may be a good candidate if:

• You experience discomfort or pain due to large breasts
• Your breasts limit physical activity or daily life
• You have persistent skin irritation under the breast fold
• You are in good overall health and maintain a stable weight
• You have realistic expectations about the outcome

A consultation with Dr. Kwon will determine the best surgical approach based on your breast size, skin elasticity, and desired results.

Breast Reduction Procedure

Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2–4 hours. The technique used depends on the amount of reduction needed and the patient’s breast shape.

Common Surgical Techniques:

• Liposuction-only Reduction: Suitable for small reductions with good skin elasticity
• Vertical or “Lollipop” Reduction: Ideal for moderate reductions (incision around the areola and vertically down the breast)
• Anchor or Inverted-T Reduction: Used for significant reduction and reshaping (incisions around the areola, vertically down, and along the breast crease)

Key Steps of the Procedure:

• Removal of excess breast tissue and fat
• Reshaping of the breasts for a natural contour
• Repositioning of the nipple and areola to a higher, more youthful position
• Reduction of areola size if necessary

Dr. Kwon carefully tailors the surgery to preserve breast symmetry and create a balanced, natural appearance.

Recovery and Aftercare

• Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for the first 1–2 weeks
• A surgical support bra must be worn to aid healing
• Most patients return to work or daily activities within 10–14 days
• Avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for 4–6 weeks
• Final results are visible as swelling subsides over 3–6 months

Regular follow-up visits at Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic ensure smooth healing and optimal outcomes.
