Features of Banobagi Breast Reduction

Breast Reduction should have meaning beyond simple cosmetic improvement. Breast hypertrophy involves not only cosmetic dissatisfaction but also health and psychological concerns, and improvement is necessary as it can especially cause Skin Conditions or strain on the spine.

Point 1. Surgery that considers overall body balance

Breast hypertrophy is often accompanied by upper-body obesity. An appropriate size is determined according to body proportions, and when necessary, upper-body Liposuction is performed to consider overall body balance and health.

Point 2. Surgery tailored to your body shape

Based on extensive Breast Augmentation experience, an appropriate procedure is performed according to each individual's body shape to relieve everyday discomfort.

Point 3. Precise surgery and scar care

Fast, precise surgery minimizes tissue damage, while intensive scar care in collaboration with dermatology helps manage postoperative marks.

Point 4. Close monitoring by an anesthesiology and pain medicine specialist

An anesthesiology and pain medicine specialist personally administers anesthesia and monitors the entire process from before to after surgery.

Surgical Methods

A surgical method is selected according to the patient's desired results.

Liposuction Breast Reduction

This method reduces size by removing fat from the Breast. Although the procedure time is short and there is little concern about scarring, the breasts may appear saggy after surgery if they are severely enlarged and the skin is significantly stretched.

O-Shaped Incision Breast Reduction

This is a representative method of Breast Reduction. It offers the advantage of preserving Nipple sensation and repositioning the Nipple, but surgical marks may remain along the Inframammary fold and below the Nipple.

Areolar Incision Breast Reduction

This method involves making an incision around the Areolar area and reducing the tissue inside the Breast. Because the incision is made only around the Nipple, scarring is minimal and barely noticeable, and Breast function is hardly affected.

Vertical Incision Breast Reduction

This method reduces Breast tissue after making an incision of approximately 4–5 cm below the Areolar area. It complements the advantages and disadvantages of the O-shaped incision and areolar incision, with a shorter procedure time for faster recovery and easier shaping of the Breast.

Combined Upper-Body Liposuction — Banobagi Dual Slim

If Breast Reduction alone is not sufficient, upper-body Liposuction can be performed together. Removal of accessory breast tissue creates a cleaner breast line, while improving the upper abdomen, lower abdomen, and flanks helps contour the abdomen smoothly.
