Now two months after surgery, I am quite happy with the shape of my new eyelids
The medical team members are so friendly and helpful. Although I speak zero Korean, I can sense their passion and empathy, which dramatically reduced my anxiety to go through the surgery. They are very supportive from the right beginning to the end when I left Seoul. And big thanks to the assistance from Yena, who provides detailed before and after care instructions rather than just working as an interpreter. Now two months after surgery, I am quite happy with the shape of my new eyelids. They look much younger and alert.

The competence, careful attitude and attention to every little detail is what I really liked
I would like to thank my doctor for his careful attention to my difficult situation. The competence, careful attitude and attention to every little detail is what I really liked. Now I am still recovering and the final result is still far away, but I believe that everything will be fine. I would like to mention my coordinator-translator Jena. She is a very nice girl who helped me during my stay. Kind, nice, responsible and competent. She made me feel very comfortable. Thank you very much to the doctor, Jena and the clinic staff for everything. I will definitely recommend to my friends.

Jimena here on Bookimed have been the best!! She always check up with me if I was feeling okay, and gave me a lot of support! I really appreciate that❤️ so Himena is the best!!
First, I wanted to say that Jimena here on Bookimed have been the best!! She always check up with me if I was feeling okay, and gave me a lot of support! I really appreciate that❤️ so Himena is the best!! The doctor Young min at Very Good plastic surgery is great! He has a a lot of expertise and experience, he’s the head m chef of the clinic as well. But, Tanya at the clinic she didn’t give me any support at all she was suppose to be there for me and give me support, I did a huge surgery , jaw reduction and a chin reduction, so the doctor cut in my bones. So when I woke up I was in sooo my agony and pain I’ve never felt anything like it in my entire life, it felt like I had a screwdriver penetrating my temples slow back and forth, it was terrible, instead of being there for me saying everything went good etc they just started to scream “stop crying” wouldn’t even bother to ask why I was crying or if I was having any pain at all The nurses told me “ you paid for this cosmetic procedure you put yourself in this situation “ when I ask for pain killers. She also told me “I’ve never seen anyone like you, in this much pain, I won’t give you more” like I was lying? I’ve never had death anxiety before but I thought I was going to die. The sent me home 24h after surgery I was super swollen and scared, I felt betrayed of everyone. I was alone in this country. When I showed my inspiration photos to Tanya the translator/assistant she laughed. Even after surgery she didn’t give me any support, I felt in the way, like I was a problem for them. But it was some good nurses as well x. Love Matilda

Doctors perform the breast reduction in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. The procedure is conducted for 1-3 hours under general anesthesia. A doctor makes the incision and removes excess fat, skin and a part of the mammary gland in some cases.

A patient stays in the Hospital for 1 day after the surgery. Then a woman is dismissed. She needs to visit a doctor every 3 days until the stitches are removed. A patient can return home in 10 days after the breast reduction.

The pain disappears in 4-5 weeks, the swelling - in 2-12 months after surgery.

I was in Severance on May 27, 2019 at a reception by the oncologist's homolog, and on the same day mammography and ultrasound of the mammary glands were done. For the conclusion they said to come on June 5th. I want to say a big thank you to my coordinator Lydia, I went everywhere, translated, sat and waited in queues with me. Service at the highest level! Today, on June 5, I came back to the homologue and she looked at the pictures and said that all is not well worry. And in Russia, they saw a tumor from somewhere. I was also given a disc with ultrasound and momography and a conclusion in paper in English. Thank you all and thanks to bookimed.com! This is not a hoax, really help people. I wanted to share a photo of the clinic and the coordinator, but something is impossible to expose them.

FAQ about Breast reduction in Republic of Korea

Why do people choose breast reduction in South Korea?

South Korea is among the top destinations to get plastic surgery in the world. Esthetic operations are so common here that locals often present them as gifts to relatives or friends. Among the reasons why international patients go to South Korea for a breast reduction are the following:

  • Affordable price. The cost of breast reduction in South Korea is considered a mid-level. However, you will pay for breast reduction 1.5-2 times less in South Korea than for the same procedure in the USA.
  • Experienced doctors. Korean plastic surgeons permanently improve their skills, invest in their education, perform hundreds of surgeries, and are members of the international societies. All these make them one of the most experienced specialists in the world.
  • Latest technologies. Due to the permanent practice, Korean breast reduction doctors apply only the latest technologies knowing in this field. So, a patient can be sure of the quality and safety of the procedure.

How is the procedure performed?

Breast reduction on South Korea is performed following the strict international standards. Breast reduction is conducted in 2 main manners according to the size of excess tissues to be removed.

When a patient needs to reduce the breast just a little, a doctor makes "lollipop"-like incision (around the areola and vertically beneath of the breast). To remove a significant amount of sagging skin, fat, and glandular tissue, a plastic surgeon performs "anchor"-like incision (the same as lollipop one but one more incision goes along the breast crease). Breast reduction is managed under general anesthesia in most of the cases.

An operation takes 1.5-5 hours depending on its complexity. Then, you need to stay in the clinic for 1-2 nights to control the recovery process.

How long do I need to stay in Korea?

Plan that you trip to South Korea will take about 5-6 days. This term will be enough to have a consultation with a doctor, pass all medical tests, have surgery, and get one more follow-up consultation with a plastic surgeon who will check the healing process and give recommendations.

How long does recovery take?

Just after breast reduction, you will be prescribed to wear a compression garment for 2-3 weeks to reduce swelling and speed up the recovery. You can return to work (if it is not physical) in 1-2 weeks after breast reduction surgery. You need to limit your physical activity and avoid picking up heavy things for 4-6 weeks.

You can estimate the outcome after breast reduction in South Korea in about 2-4 months. The final result you will observe in 6-12 months after surgery.

What affects the breast reduction cost in South Korea?

The price of breast reduction in South Korea is not stable. It depends on the following factors:

  • Clinic's brand reputation. Korean plastic surgery clinics that are well-known within the country and far beyond its borders may ask for a higher cost of breast reduction. As a rule, they care about their reputation and value each patient. So, you can be sure of the quality of medical services they provide. However, always check out reviews and before&after portfolio to estimate the outcome.
  • Doctor's experience. The specialists who work hard to improve their skills and become the best in breast reduction surgery, perform hundreds of operations, may ask for a higher fee. Usually, such doctors invest a lot of money in their professional development.
  • Surgery complexity. Breast reduction may be less or more complex — some patients need to reduce the breasts just a little, while others require an extended operation. Due to this, the price for breast reduction may be changed significantly.
  • Extra services. Planning your trip to South Korea for breast reduction, take into account such as expenses as transfer, accommodation, language assistance.
