Breast Lift in Seoul, Korea
Breast lift (mastopexy) in Gangnam, Seoul at Marble Plastic Surgery: raise and reshape sagging breasts, with or without implants.
Typical ranges for breast lift; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is a breast lift?
A breast lift (mastopexy) is surgery that raises sagging breasts by removing excess skin, reshaping the breast tissue and repositioning the nipple. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, it is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon and can be combined with augmentation or reduction.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight change and aging stretch the skin envelope so the breast and nipple sit lower. A lift restores position and shape but does not add volume, so an implant is added when upper fullness is also wanted. The incision pattern depends on the degree of sagging.
Who is a breast lift for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- Nipples that sit at or below the breast fold
- Breasts that have lost shape after pregnancy or weight loss
- Stretched skin or enlarged areolae
- Stable weight and no plans for further pregnancy soon
How a breast lift is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon measures nipple position and skin excess, explains the incision pattern (around the areola, vertical or anchor) and whether an implant would help.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Lifting and reshaping Excess skin is removed, the breast tissue is reshaped and secured higher, and the nipple and areola are moved to the new position while staying attached to their blood supply.
- Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.
Recovery and aftercare
Swelling and bruising improve over two to three weeks. A support bra is worn during healing, and scars fade gradually over several months.
- At least 8 post-operative care sessions
- Ultrasound and radiofrequency therapy to help prevent capsular contracture
- 1-month preventive prescription
- Annual complimentary ultrasound check
- Compression bra

Frequently asked questions
Will a breast lift make my breasts bigger?
No. A lift changes position and shape. If you want more volume, augmentation with an implant or fat grafting can be done at the same time.
What scars does a breast lift leave?
Depending on the technique: a circle around the areola, a vertical line below it, and sometimes a line in the breast fold. Scars usually fade considerably with time and care.
Can I breastfeed after a breast lift?
Many women can, because the nipple remains connected to the underlying tissue, but it cannot be guaranteed.
Who will perform my procedure at Marble Plastic Surgery?
