Apgujeong Breast Reduction Surgery: Refer to the Appropriate Incision Method for Each Patient

Hello. We are Mary Plastic Surgery Clinic, pursuing natural and beautiful changes.

Compared with the past, perceptions of cosmetic surgery have become more positive.

I think that is because it is a way to improve fundamental complexes in modern society, where appearance is seen as a form of competitiveness.

In particular, among women, more and more people are undergoing breast surgery to regain confidence.

Many people used to think that breast surgery only included augmentation procedures, but on the contrary, there was also Apgujeong breast reduction surgery.

Looking at the body types of East Asian people in general, most did not have particularly developed breasts.

However, there are also people who feel burdened because their breasts are too large, so they may hope to correct the breast shape.

That said, breast surgery involves a relatively large surgical area, and to expect a complication-free result, it must be performed with careful consideration of the patient’s individual characteristics, including the surgical equipment, anesthesia, and aftercare.

Today, I will introduce the incision methods used in Apgujeong breast reduction surgery.

Who is a candidate for breast reduction surgery?

✅ When the breasts are large and sagging, making you look congested

✅ When you are experiencing mental stress because of large breasts

✅ When the weight of the breasts causes neck or back pain

✅ When sagging breasts cause skin problems

✅ When you want to improve to a breast line that suits your body shape

If your breasts have always felt uncomfortably large and have become a complex, you may want to consider breast reduction surgery.

Apgujeong breast reduction surgery is a procedure that removes part of the enlarged breast tissue to create a beautiful breast of an appropriate size.

In the past, full breasts were popular, but today, some people choose to reduce them to a size and proportion that suits their body type.

It is said that because many Hollywood actors have undergone it, more people have begun to consider reduction surgery.

Apgujeong breast reduction surgery is not simply about reducing breast size; it also requires careful care, such as lifting breasts that have sagged due to weight and preserving nipple sensation and physiological function.

Particularly in cases classified as macromastia, various problems can occur in addition to appearance issues.

It can also help improve back pain, spinal deformity, eczema, and stretch marks under the breasts.

What about scars from Apgujeong breast reduction surgery?

This type of breast reduction surgery can be performed using different methods depending on the size, shape, areola position, and degree of sagging.

Because it is a procedure that must be performed through incisions, many people express concern about scars.

To minimize scarring as much as possible while still creating a beautiful breast line, establishing a 1:1 customized surgical plan is key.

✅ Areolar incision method

The areolar incision method is performed by making an incision only around the areola of the nipple, like removing the contents from a pouch and tightening the opening again.

Because the scar is limited to the area around the areola, this is one of the methods that leaves fewer scars, and it makes it easier to preserve breast shape and function, with less bleeding and a relatively quick recovery.

✅ Inverted-T incision method (Omega incision method)

For moderate to severe macromastia in which breast enlargement and sagging occur at the same time, this Apgujeong breast reduction surgery method includes an areolar incision and extends downward in an inverted-T shape.

The immediate post-surgery shape is highly satisfying and the results are relatively balanced, but because the scar area is larger, careful scar care after surgery is necessary.

✅ Vertical incision method

This is an intermediate method between the areolar incision and the inverted-T incision. Compared with the inverted-T incision, it leaves fewer scars and can be performed for moderate to more extensive breast reduction.

However, because the shape immediately after surgery may differ from the final result, it is a high-difficulty procedure that requires an experienced medical team.

Where is a good place for Apgujeong breast reduction surgery?

As mentioned earlier, breast incision surgery is considered difficult because the scar area is relatively large and the surgical area itself is also large.

That is why it is important to check whether the medical team has extensive experience before surgery.

At Mary Plastic Surgery Clinic, which has experience in various cosmetic procedures including breast reduction surgery, we strive to create a firm breast line that suits the body’s proportions.

In some patients, the breasts may not be symmetrical.

Therefore, considering the outcome, we can analyze both breasts and establish a separate surgical plan for each side.

In particular, since this is an area where blood vessels, glandular tissue, and nerves are intricately developed, we work to reduce tissue damage through precise dissection using FULL HD endoscopy.
