What is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breasts that are excessively large for your body frame can shift your center of gravity forward due to their weight, causing neck and back pain. They may also lead to eczema beneath the breasts and in skin folds. Above all, overly large breasts can make styling difficult and affect how clothes fit and look.
BongBong Plastic Surgery’s breast reduction surgery removes a portion of excess breast tissue to create a natural, ideal breast size that is well-proportioned to your body shape.

Breast Surgery Incision Techniques at BongBong
Customized Surgery #1
Surgical Technique for Moderate to Severe Gigantomastia
Vertical Incision Technique
A technique that allows for reduction of the breast through a long, straight vertical incision extending downward from around the areola.
Compared with other surgical techniques, it results in less scarring and may allow breastfeeding after surgery. It is also suitable for correcting significantly enlarged breasts.
This technique is designed to preserve sensation in the nipple area.
Customized Surgery #2
Surgical Technique for Severe Gigantomastia
“O”-Shaped Incision Technique
Also called the Anchor Method, an “O”-shaped incision is made from the nipple to the inframammary fold, after which excess glandular breast tissue and skin are removed and the nipple position is adjusted.
This technique offers predictable results and is particularly effective for significantly enlarged breasts. It also has the advantage of preserving nipple function. However, a drawback to this technique is that it leaves more noticeable scarring after surgery.

Bong Bong
657 Nonhyeon-ro, Gangnam District
- I visited Bongbong’s Wellness Center on a busin
- I traveled from California for breast augmentation, and the team made coordination via WhatsApp super easy. Thanks to Dr. Park’s ultrasound-guided sizing … More and drain-free no-touch technique, recovery was fast and my results look and feel completely natural at two months.
- While visiting Seoul on a business trip, I consulted Bongbong’s Basic Cell / Wellness Center for chronic fatigue and aging skin. Unlike typical clinics … More that just push quick fillers or superficial lasers, Bongbong operates a dedicated regenerative center with comprehensive diagnostic facilities.
My consultation was deeply informative; the anti-aging specialist walked me through my lab work and explained the science behind stem cell therapy in very realistic, approachable terms. The care took place in a quiet, private VIP suite that felt very calm and restful. Their aftercare was especially impressive—using their hyperbaric oxygen chamber helped noticeably with post-procedure recovery and stamina. Within a few weeks, my energy levels improved and my skin felt significantly firmer and healthier. A very professional and well-equipped medical center.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is breast reduction surgery?
Breast reduction surgery removes unnecessary breast tissue from large or sagging breasts and reshapes them to create a more natural, balanced breast line that suits your body type.
Why might I consider breast reduction surgery?
Breasts that are disproportionately large can shift your center of gravity forward and contribute to neck or back pain. They can also cause eczema beneath the breasts or in skin folds, and may make clothing fit and styling more difficult.
How long does breast reduction surgery take?
The procedure generally takes about 3 to 3.5 hours, although the exact duration depends on the amount of reduction needed and the incision technique used.
What type of anesthesia is used?
Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia.
Will I need to stay in the hospital?
Hospitalization is not required.
When are stitches removed after surgery?
Stitches are typically removed 10 to 14 days after surgery.
What incision techniques are available for breast reduction?
The available techniques include vertical incision, O-shaped incision, and periareolar incision. The approach is selected based on the degree of breast enlargement and your individual needs.
What is the vertical incision technique?
The vertical incision technique uses a long, straight incision from around the areola downward. It is used for moderate to severe breast enlargement, may result in less scarring than other methods, and is designed to preserve nipple sensation. Breastfeeding may also be possible after this technique.
What is the O-shaped incision technique?
The O-shaped incision technique involves an incision from the nipple to the inframammary fold. Excess breast tissue and skin are removed, and the nipple position is adjusted. It is particularly suited to severe breast enlargement and can preserve nipple function, but it may leave more noticeable scars.
What is the periareolar incision technique?
The periareolar technique places an incision around the areola to remove excess breast tissue and skin. It is used for mild breast enlargement when the areolar circumference exceeds 4 cm. Because the scar is limited to the areola area, it is the least visible option and generally involves less bleeding and a faster recovery.
What scars can I expect after breast reduction surgery?
Scarring depends on the incision technique. A vertical incision is used in most cases, leaving a scar around the areola and extending straight downward beneath it. The scar usually fades and becomes less noticeable over time, typically after six months or more.
What is recovery like after breast reduction surgery?
Pain is generally not severe and usually does not greatly interfere with daily activities. A surgical drain may be used for about three days to prevent fluid buildup, and you should rest until the drain is removed.
