First, let us address what you are most curious about: the cost of sagging breast surgery.

The approximate price sits at around 10 million KRW.

Sagging breast surgery can be divided into two main directions.

- Implant augmentation

- Implant augmentation + breast lift

If the nipple is located within 3 cm of the inframammary fold / or the nipple is normal but the mammary gland tissue has dropped downward - sufficient improvement is possible with implants alone.

In other words, improvement is possible with a breast augmentation approach — but here too, the surgery cost can differ from clinic to clinic.

You can find more on this topic in the article below.

Next is the case where a breast lift must also be performed together.

This is usually considered in cases where the nipple has descended more than 3 cm below the inframammary fold.

Depending on the degree of sagging, the incision technique used for the lift also differs.

For reference, current breast lift incisions are divided into two types.

1) Vertical incision - the method used in most breast lifts

(The nipple can be raised to the desired position, but the drawback is a longer scar)

2) Periareolar incision

(There are limits to how far the nipple position can be raised, but the advantage is a shorter scar)

Since the operating time and the amount of incision required differ with the degree of lifting, you can expect the cost to differ accordingly.

The first thing you should do is not to look at breast lift reviews like the one above.

You need to determine whether improvement is possible with implants alone or not.

They said a lift might also be needed —

and if that happens,

I'm worried the surgery will become too extensive..

In reviews I mostly see sagging breasts lifted, but

I wonder whether the surgery can be finished safely..

If you are approaching your 40s, or older, these concerns are completely understandable.

And considering that you will also need breast examinations later on, you may wonder whether this is the right choice now.

The paper below is a study that investigated surgical safety in 500 patients who underwent a breast lift + implant augmentation at the same time.

Among the women who had a breast lift with implant augmentation, the complication rate was 6.2% — and the study reports that all of these were only minor complications such as delayed wound healing / bruising.

It states that all the other cases were completed stably, without any serious adverse effects.
