1. Breast Reduction in Korea

There are 2 big parts in breast reduction : correcting the degree of saggyness and the size of your breasts. If the former is done alone, it is called "breast lift", and if they are done together, it is called "breast reduction". Both are quite common in Korea, so you can find numerous breast specialists. However, what makes Korean plastic surgeons great is that Korean surgeons focus on leaving less scars and creating more natural-looking breast shapes. Sometimes, instead of vertical incisions (Inverted T), liposuction or underneath your breast incisions technique will be used to minimize scarring. Also, some Korean women have small and saggy breasts. In this case, if breast augmentation doesn't fix the problem, breast lift and breast augmentation are done together to bring back more feminine looking breasts. Since consultation through pictures can tell half of the story, Seoul TouchUp recommends you to come to clinic and have in-person consultation with a doctor in Korea.
