Many women struggle with the physical and emotional discomfort caused by overly large breasts. Breast reduction surgery is a transformative procedure that can relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance self-confidence.
At Evita Clinic, we specialize in creating proportionate, natural-looking results tailored to your unique body shape.

Excessively large breasts can lead to several issues, including:

  • Chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain
  • Skin irritation and rashes under the breasts
  • Postural issues and difficulty in physical activities
  • Struggles with finding well-fitting clothes and bras
  • Emotional distress and self-consciousness

Our expert surgeons at Evita Clinic provide personalized recommendations, ensuring that your breasts complement your body’s natural proportions, helping you achieve comfort and confidence in your daily life.

VARIABLE APPROACH

Key Elements of Breast Reduction Surgery

Breast reduction primarily involves three key components: glandular tissue, fats, and skin. The proportions of these elements vary among individuals, and an in-depth consultation with Dr. Jeon is essential to determine the appropriate balance for your surgery.

Glandular Tissue

For patients who plan to have children in the future, it is crucial to preserve enough glandular tissue to allow for adequate breastfeeding. Our surgical approach considers this factor to maintain optimal breast function post-surgery.

Fat Reduction

In cases where breast size is influenced by excess fat, especially in patients with obesity, liposuction is often used to remove a portion of the fat. This method allows for a more refined contour and proportionate reduction.

Skin Management

Skin removal and reshaping are the most intricate aspects of breast reduction. The extent of skin excision varies depending on skin elasticity and the degree of sagging. Our expert surgeons meticulously design incisions to achieve the best aesthetic outcome while minimizing scarring.

By carefully considering these three elements, we tailor each procedure to the individual’s unique anatomy and goals, ensuring a well-balanced and natural-looking result.

What to Expect: Procedure & Recovery

Surgery Process

  • Duration: Approximately 2–4 hours under sleep anesthesia.
  • Techniques: Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed, and the breasts are reshaped to create a proportionate look.
  • Nipple Repositioning: If necessary, the nipple-areola complex is moved to a higher position while preserving sensation.

Recovery Timeline

  • 1–2 Days: Initial discomfort and swelling managed with medication.
  • 1 Week: Resume light activities; avoid heavy lifting.
  • 4–6 Weeks: Swelling significantly reduces; return to normal daily activities.

Breast Reduction Surgery – Frequently Asked Questions

What is breast reduction surgery?

Breast reduction surgery is performed when breast size becomes excessive due to overdevelopment of glandular tissue during puberty or weight gain.
The procedure reduces breast volume and weight by removing excess gland, fat, and skin to improve body proportion.
In cases where breast sagging occurs after childbirth without excessive volume, a breast lift alone may be sufficient.

Patients who experience neck, shoulder, or back pain, skin irritation, or daily discomfort due to large breasts may be good candidates.
Candidates should be in good general health and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

Breast reduction and breast lift use similar skin incision patterns.
However, breast reduction additionally removes glandular tissue and surrounding fat to decrease breast volume and weight.
Breast reduction improves both breast shape and size, while a breast lift focuses on reshaping without reducing volume.

Scarring is one of the main disadvantages of breast reduction surgery.
The breast area moves continuously with breathing, similar to the neck or elbow, making scars more noticeable in some patients.
Proper postoperative scar management is therefore essential for optimal results.

The ability to breastfeed after breast reduction depends largely on how much glandular tissue is removed.
When a significant amount of gland tissue is excised to achieve the desired breast size, milk production may decrease after childbirth.
Patients planning future pregnancy or breastfeeding should discuss this thoroughly before surgery.

Many patients experience relief from neck, shoulder, and back pain after breast reduction due to decreased breast weight.
Patients with very large breasts often have limitations in running or high-impact exercise, which frequently improve after surgery.
Overall posture, daily comfort, and physical activity satisfaction commonly improve.

Yes, international patients can undergo breast reduction surgery in Korea.
Because postoperative monitoring and recovery are important, a minimum stay of at least two weeks in Korea is recommended.
During this period, wound healing, scar care, and recovery progress are carefully evaluated.

One of the most critical aspects of breast reduction and lift surgery is preserving blood circulation and maintaining the safety of the nipple–areola complex.
Dr. Francis Jeon is a board-certified thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon with advanced anatomical and physiological expertise in this area.
He exclusively focuses on breast-centered body contouring surgery, prioritizing both functional safety and balanced aesthetics.
