What is a breast lift?
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate and reshape sagging breasts for a more youthful and firm appearance. It involves removing excess skin, tightening the surrounding tissue, and repositioning the nipples to improve overall contour and symmetry. This procedure is commonly sought after by individuals experiencing sagging due to aging, weight fluctuations, or pregnancy. A breast lift focuses on enhancing shape and position but does not significantly alter breast size, though it can be combined with implants or reductions if desired.
What are the different types of breast lift?
There are several types of breast lift techniques, and Dr. Woojung Kim will guide you in choosing the one that best fits your unique needs. The different options include:
Crescent Lift: Ideal for individuals with minimal sagging, this technique involves a small incision along the upper edge of the areola. It results in minimal scarring and is commonly combined with breast augmentation to enhance results.
Donut Lift: Similar to the crescent lift, this method is suitable for mild sagging. It involves a circular incision around the areola and can also be used to reduce the size of the areola. This lift is often paired with breast augmentation.
Vertical or Lollipop Lift: Designed for those with moderate sagging, the lollipop lift reshapes the entire breast by removing excess skin and tightening the tissue. It involves a circular incision around the areola and a vertical incision down to the base of the breast, creating a “lollipop” shape.
Anchor Lift: For individuals with significant sagging or excess skin, the anchor lift is the most comprehensive option. It includes an incision around the areola, a vertical incision down to the breast crease, and a horizontal incision along the base of the breast. This technique is often combined with breast reduction for patients requiring both lifting and size reduction.

How does the procedure work?
Dr. Woojung Kim at Wooa Plastic Surgery tailors each breast lift procedure to meet your individual needs and aesthetic goals. Depending on the degree of sagging and the amount of excess skin, Dr. Kim may recommend one of the following techniques:
- Periareolar “donut” incision: This involves an incision around the edge of the areola and is suitable for mild sagging.
- “Lollipop” incision: An incision is made around the areola with an additional vertical incision extending down to the breast crease, making it ideal for moderate sagging.
- Wise pattern “anchor” incision: This technique includes an incision around the areola, a vertical incision to the breast crease, and a horizontal incision along the breast crease. It is best for cases of severe sagging and provides the maximum lift.
Once the incision is made, Dr. Kim skillfully lifts and reshapes the breast tissue, creating a firmer and more contoured appearance. Excess skin is removed, the remaining skin is tightened, and the nipple is repositioned to achieve a more youthful look.
Who are suitable candidates for breast lift?
How long does it take to recover from a breast lift?
Most patients can return to light daily activities within a week, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Swelling and minor discomfort are common during the initial recovery period, and full results are typically visible after a few months once the breasts settle into their new shape.
Will there be visible scars after a breast lift?
While all surgical procedures involve some scarring, modern techniques aim to minimize the appearance of scars. The extent of scarring depends on the type of incision used, such as a “donut,” “lollipop,” or “anchor” incision. Scars usually fade significantly over time and can often be concealed under clothing and swimsuits.
How much does it cost for a breast lift in Korea?
The cost of a breast lift in Korea typically ranges from $6,000 to $12,000 USD, depending on several factors, such as the complexity of the procedure, the technique used, and the clinic’s reputation. If combined with other procedures like breast augmentation or reduction, the overall cost may be higher.
