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

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.

Customized Surgery #3


Surgical Technique for Mild Gigantomastia

Periareolar Incision Technique

For cases where the areolar circumference exceeds 4 cm, an incision is made around the areola to remove excess glandular breast tissue and redundant skin, thereby reducing breast volume.

Because the scar is confined to the area around the areola, this technique leaves the least visible scarring. It also helps preserve the natural shape and function of the breasts. The procedure is relatively simple, involves less bleeding, and allows for a faster recovery.

Breast Reduction Q&A

A. The appearance of scars after breast reduction surgery varies depending on the incision technique used. At our clinic, we perform breast reduction surgery using the vertical incision technique in most cases. This leaves a straight-line scar around the areola and extending downward beneath it. Over time, typically after six months or more, the scar gradually fades and becomes less noticeable.

A. Since pain is generally not severe after breast reduction surgery, it usually does not significantly interfere with daily activities. However, a surgical drain may be placed for around 3 days to prevent fluid from accumulating in the space created inside the breast. We recommend resting until the drain is removed.

A. The duration varies depending on the extent of breast reduction and the surgical technique used, but the procedure generally takes approximately 3 to 3.5 hours.
