Breast Lift at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic
If you’re looking to reverse the effects of gravity, aging, weight fluctuations, or breastfeeding on your breasts, a breast lift—also known as mastopexy—might be the solution. This cosmetic procedure is designed to elevate and reshape sagging breasts, restoring a youthful and perky appearance.
At top-tier clinics across Seoul, especially in Gangnam’s cosmetic surgery district, board-certified plastic surgeons offer customized breast lift procedures using advanced techniques. Whether you want to restore firmness, reposition the nipples, or improve symmetry, Korea is home to some of the most experienced surgeons in Asia for breast rejuvenation.
Why Consider a Breast Lift?
Over time, the breasts may begin to lose their shape and firmness due to:
- Aging and skin elasticity loss
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Weight gain or significant weight loss
- Genetics or naturally drooping breasts
A breast lift addresses these concerns by tightening the surrounding tissue and removing excess skin, giving the breasts a more youthful profile without necessarily increasing their size.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
You may benefit from a breast lift in Korea if you:
- Are physically healthy and at a stable weight
- Experience sagging or stretched skin around the breasts
- Feel your nipples point downward or fall below the breast crease
- Are satisfied with your breast size but want a more lifted look
- Do not plan significant weight changes or future pregnancies
During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your anatomy, discuss your goals, and help determine whether a breast lift alone—or in combination with augmentation or reduction—best suits your needs.
Types of Breast Lift Techniques
Korean plastic surgery clinics offer several techniques depending on the degree of sagging and your desired outcome:
- Crescent Lift: Minimal lift for mild sagging; incision around the top half of the areola.
- Peri-Areolar (Donut) Lift: Incision around the areola; ideal for moderate lifting and nipple repositioning.
- Vertical (Lollipop) Lift: For more significant sagging; involves incisions around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease.
- Anchor Lift: Most dramatic lift; incisions around the areola, vertically down, and along the breast crease.
Each method has its own benefits, and Korean surgeons are highly skilled at choosing the technique that leaves the least visible scarring while achieving your aesthetic goals.
What to Expect During Surgery
Breast lift surgery in Korea is typically done under general anesthesia and takes 2–3 hours depending on the extent of the procedure.
Key steps include:
- Marking the desired lift level and nipple position
- Removing excess skin
- Reshaping and lifting the breast tissue
- Repositioning the areola, if needed
- Closing incisions with sutures and applying dressings
Many clinics also offer the option to combine a breast lift with implants (augmentation mastopexy) if you also wish to enhance volume.
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients can go home the same day as surgery. Recovery time varies, but common guidelines include:
- Wearing a surgical or support bra for several weeks
- Avoiding heavy lifting or intense exercise for 2–4 weeks
- Swelling and bruising typically resolve within 2–3 weeks
- Final results become visible over the course of 2–3 months
Top clinics in Korea provide multilingual aftercare support, making it easier for international patients to manage their healing process.
Natural, Long-Lasting Results
A well-performed breast lift enhances your silhouette while maintaining the natural look and feel of your breasts. Korean surgeons are known for their refined aesthetic sense and precision, often achieving outcomes that look elegant and harmonious with your body frame.
While a breast lift doesn’t stop aging, results typically last for many years with proper care and stable weight.
