Sagging Breast Correction in Seoul | Gangnam CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic & Cost
What is Sagging Breast Correction Surgery?
Sagging breast correction surgery, also known as breast lift or mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure that lifts and reshapes breasts that have lost firmness and elasticity. Sagging (ptosis) can occur due to aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. The surgery removes excess skin, repositions the nipple, and reshapes the breast tissue to restore a youthful, uplifted contour.
At CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, our board-certified plastic surgeons perform breast lift procedures using advanced techniques that minimize scarring while achieving natural, long-lasting results. For patients who also desire added volume, the breast lift can be combined with implants or fat grafting for enhanced fullness and shape.
Who is a Good Candidate for Sagging Breast Correction Surgery?
You may be a good candidate for breast lift surgery if you:
✔ Have breasts that appear droopy, elongated, or deflated
✔ Notice your nipples point downward or fall below the breast crease
✔ Experience a loss of breast volume and firmness
✔ Are in good overall health and maintain a stable weight
✔ Have realistic expectations and do not plan significant weight changes or pregnancy soon
At CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic, we provide personalized consultations to assess your degree of ptosis, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals. Whether performed alone or with augmentation, our goal is to restore a perky, youthful silhouette with natural proportions that suit your body.

How is Sagging Breast Correction Performed?
1. Consultation & Evaluation
• Thorough breast assessment to determine the degree of sagging (ptosis), skin elasticity, nipple position, and volume loss
• Discussion of goals—whether to restore youthful perkiness, lift the nipple, or combine with volume enhancement
• Evaluation for mastopexy (breast lift) alone or in combination with implants or fat grafting
• Digital imaging or simulation may be used to visualize expected outcomes
2. Treatment Approach
• The surgical plan is customized depending on the severity of sagging and desired volume:
–
Breast Lift Surgery (Mastopexy): Removes excess skin and reshapes breast tissue to elevate the nipple and restore a youthful contour
–
Implant + Lift (Augmentation Mastopexy): Combines silicone or saline implants with lifting to restore both firmness and fullness
–
Fat Grafting with Lift: For patients seeking a natural enhancement with minimal volume increase and lifted positioning
• Incision patterns include periareolar (around the nipple), vertical (“lollipop”), or anchor-shaped, depending on ptosis grade
• Performed under general anesthesia, the procedure typically takes 2 to 3.5 hours
3. Recovery & Aftercare
• Swelling, bruising, and mild tightness are expected for the first 1–2 weeks
• Supportive surgical bras are worn continuously for several weeks to maintain shape
• Drains may be placed temporarily depending on the extent of tissue removal
• Avoid sleeping on your stomach, raising arms overhead, and vigorous activity for the first few weeks
• Follow-up visits monitor healing, scar progression, and breast positioning
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery Timeline:
•
Swelling & Bruising: Peaks in 3–5 days, improves within 2–3 weeks
•
Return to Work/Daily Life: 7–10 days for most patients
•
Final Shape & Lifted Appearance: Visible within 1–2 months, with continued refinement over 3–6 months
•
Exercise & Heavy Lifting: Resume after 4–6 weeks
Strict adherence to post-op instructions—including scar care, bra support, and posture—is essential to maintain surgical results and minimize complications.
