Umnagumo Breast Reduction & Mastopexy

Breast reduction with mastopexy in Gangnam, Seoul (Korea) at Umnagumo is a combined volume-reduction + lift procedure that simultaneously addresses pain, neck and shoulder strain, bra-strap grooving, intertriginous skin irritation, ptosis, and postural imbalance caused by excessively large breasts — issues that often persist for years before patients seek surgical care.

Because reduction and lift are performed together, the amount of glandular tissue removed and the lift design must be decided in parallel — not sequentially. Multiple incision lines (periareolar, vertical, and sometimes inframammary) converge at the nipple-areola, making suture-tension management, blood-supply preservation along the pedicle, and structured scar care more demanding than in primary augmentation.

Preserving nipple-areolar sensation and lactation function requires precise dissection that respects the milk-duct system, the dominant intercostal nerve branches, and the vascular pedicle that keeps the nipple-areola viable after repositioning. Pedicle choice (inferior, superomedial, or central) is decided based on the lift distance, glandular density, and your priorities around feeding and sensation.

At Umnagumo, every reduction-mastopexy procedure is performed personally by a plastic surgeon with 25+ years of experience, in collaboration with board-certified anesthesiology specialists managing safety in high-complexity, longer-duration cases. Over 12,000 cumulative breast surgery cases inform precise tissue-resection weight, lift-design geometry, and lift-line planning — and the same depth of care extends to international patients travelling to Korea for the procedure.

By reducing weight and elevating the nipple-areola to its anatomically correct position, this is a high-complexity functional + aesthetic procedure that delivers a lighter, firmer line, comfortable daily life and exercise, and balanced body proportion (individual results may vary).
