Top surgery in Seoul, Korea
Top surgery consultation in Gangnam, Seoul at Marble Plastic Surgery: chest masculinization planned privately with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
Typical ranges for top surgery; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is top surgery?
Top surgery (chest masculinization) removes breast tissue and reshapes the chest to create a flatter, more masculine contour. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, suitability, technique and required documentation are discussed privately at consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
The technique depends on chest size and skin elasticity. Smaller chests can be treated through an incision around the areola; larger chests usually need a double-incision approach with repositioning of the nipple. Scar placement along the chest muscle border helps the result look natural.

Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
