Oversized Breast Correction in Seoul | Gangnam CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic & Cost

What is Oversized Breast Correction Surgery?

Oversized breast correction surgery, also known as breast reduction or reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure that reduces the size and weight of overly large breasts. Excessively large breasts can cause physical discomfort such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as emotional distress or limitations in physical activity. The surgery removes excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a lighter, more proportionate breast size.

At CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, our board-certified plastic surgeons perform breast reduction procedures that prioritize both medical relief and aesthetic refinement. Using advanced techniques, we reshape and lift the breasts to ensure natural contours, improved symmetry, and minimal scarring.



Who is a Good Candidate for Oversized Breast Correction Surgery?

You may be a good candidate for breast reduction if you:

✔ Experience chronic back, shoulder, or neck pain due to heavy breasts
✔ Have posture problems or skin irritation under the breast fold
✔ Feel self-conscious or emotionally distressed by breast size
✔ Struggle to find properly fitting clothing or bras
✔ Are in good general health and have realistic expectations

At CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic, your consultation includes a physical assessment and discussion of your goals. In many cases, breast reduction is combined with a breast lift (mastopexy) to restore a youthful and lifted shape. The result is a more comfortable, proportionate figure with improved quality of life.

How is Oversized Breasts Correction Surgery Performed?

1. Consultation & Evaluation

• Detailed physical examination and breast measurements to assess volume, symmetry, and sagging (ptosis)
• Discussion of symptoms such as back pain, shoulder grooves, skin irritation, or discomfort during activity
• Review of surgical goals, desired breast size, and scarring preferences
• Pre-operative imaging and lab tests ensure suitability for surgery

2. Surgical Approach

• Performed under general anesthesia in a hospital setting
• Breast Reduction Surgery (Reduction Mammoplasty) involves removal of excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin
• The nipples are repositioned to a higher, more youthful location, and the areola may be resized if enlarged
• Common incision types: “lollipop” (around the areola and vertically down) or “anchor” (with an additional horizontal incision in the breast fold)
• Internal sutures are used to reshape and support the newly contoured breasts
• Surgery duration ranges from 2.5 to 4 hours depending on the amount of reduction

3. Recovery & Aftercare

• Swelling, bruising, and soreness are normal for the first 1–2 weeks
• A surgical bra or compression garment is worn for several weeks to support healing
• Drains may be placed temporarily to prevent fluid buildup and are removed after a few days
• Avoid strenuous arm activity and lifting heavy objects during the early recovery phase
• Follow-up visits monitor scar healing, symmetry, and overall breast shape

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery Timeline:

• Initial Recovery: 1–2 weeks for swelling and bruising to subside
• Suture Removal (if non-absorbable): Around 10–14 days
• Return to Work/Daily Activities: 1–2 weeks depending on the job
• Final Shape & Scarring Fading: Gradual over 3–6 months

Proper care—including scar management, gentle massage, and wearing support garments—is essential for long-term results and minimal scarring.
