Breast Surgery in Korea


Before Korean plastic surgery captured the world's attention, Koreans believed that Breast Augmentation was only for people in the west. Maybe Korean girls did not want to have large and unnatural looking breasts that Pamela Anderson carried. It was one of the last ones on their touchup do-to list because Korean ladies believed that breast surgery results would come out too obvious. However, that has changed after celebrities and advocates started showing off their plump and natural looking breasts on TV and the Internet. Over the years, Korean breast specialists have developed surgery techniques that fit your body while minimizing scars and bleeding. Because of this, South Korea has experienced a surge in number of customers, and many of them are Asians. From Singapore customers who want doctors with more experience, to Asian Americans who desire to have bigger breasts that look natural and harmonious now fly to South Korea for breast surgery.

Certainly breast surgery is different from facial surgery in the sense that breast surgery can help a woman become look more feminine and fashionable. Between Breast Augmentation (making it big) and Breast Reduction (making it small), there is an ultimate rule called "balance". Since the left and right balance is crucial, Korean breast specialists will always customize your specific case and combine various surgery techniques for the case. As breast augmentation is becoming more commonplace among women in their 20's and 30's in Korea, more clinics jumped on the bandwagon and achieved more hands-on experience than any other nation in the world. In addition, Korean breast surgeons have focused and developed other breast surgery like breast reduction and breast reconstruction, for which doctors in Singapore and Taiwan come to Korea to learn the magical skills. As the media often claims, just like that, Korea is becoming the centre of plastic surgery in the world.

3. When will it get natural after having breast augmentation?

Your breast getting natural and being able to resume normal activities are two different things. Although your chest might feel tight for 2-3 weeks, you will be able to resume your life 2 weeks after surgery. You will be advised to avoid any strenuous activities for 1-2 months, and after that first recovery phase, you will be able to wear your swimsuit with no problem. Your breasts will start to get natural after 3 months and almost seamlessly natural throughout the year.

4.Can I have other facial surgeries at the same time?

Yes and No. Although you "can" have both breast and facial surgeries on the same day, Seoul TouchUp suggests that you take another day for your facial surgery. You will be exhausted after breast surgery and it would be very difficult to manage face and breasts at the same time during recovery. It is also not good to be under general anaesthesia for a long period of time. Please have a talk in more detail with your surgeon or surgeons in Korea for the best surgery schedule.

5.Will Korean breast surgery leave scars?

Yes but scars will fade over time. For most cases, Breast Surgery incision sites are 1.underneath your breasts 2.around your nipples 3.under your armpits. Although there are methods that can minimize or hide scars, scars will be left on the incision site. This is where Korean doctors especially shine. After discussing the method with your surgeon in Korea, you will choose your incision method. In order to minimize scars and swelling, Korean surgeons make minimal incisions (2-3cm) with endoscopic breast surgery approach.
