Breast Lift (Mastopexy) in Korea
“What Is Breast Lift?”
Breast Lift (Mastopexy) is a premium rejuvenation breast surgery that corrects sagging, drooping, or ptotic breasts caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, aging, or gravity. It lifts the breast tissue to a youthful, perky position, repositions the nipple-areola complex to the ideal central point, and removes excess sagging skin to create firm, uplifted, and natural breast contours without necessarily changing breast size.
VIP Breast Lift uses the advanced **Minimally Invasive Vertical (Lollipop) Technique** to minimize scarring, preserve breast sensation and lactation function, and deliver long-lasting, youthful lifting results with natural shape and minimal visible scars.
Doctor’s Message
“Breast sagging is the most common sign of breast aging, affecting confidence and comfort. A breast lift is not about adding or removing volume – it’s about restoring youthful perkiness. At VIP, we customize every lift: using minimal scar vertical technique for mild-moderate sagging, combining with implants if volume is needed, and preserving all breast functions. Our goal is naturally lifted, firm, youthful breasts that look and feel completely authentic.”

Before & After
* Temporary side effects include breast swelling, bruising, mild tightness, or temporary numbness (resolves in 1-3 months). Vertical/areolar incision scars are minimal and fade significantly over 1-2 years. Surgery preserves breast function in nearly all cases, with long-lasting lifting results. Results are permanent (maintained with stable weight), with full perky shape visible after swelling subsides (2-4 months). Wear medical compression bra for 1-2 months post-op and avoid upper body exercise for 2 months. Please discuss all risks with your surgeon before surgery.
Post-Operative Care
- Wear medical compression bra 24/7 for 1-2 months
- Avoid upper body exercise, heavy lifting for 2 months
- Apply cold compresses for 3-7 days to reduce swelling
- Sleep on back (no side sleeping) for 1-2 months
- Avoid alcohol, smoking, and spicy food for 3 weeks
- Keep incision area clean & dry to minimize scarring
- Regular follow-up checks for healing & scar care
