정유석원장 작성일Hello, I am Dr.Yoosuk Chung,If you are suffering from physical pain caused by the weight of enlarged breasts (Macromastia) along with severe sagging (Ptosis), a simple reduction procedure that only removes fat and tissue is insufficient. To restore a healthy and aesthetic silhouette, a Mastopexy (Breast Lift)—which repositions the nipple and excises excess skin—must be performed in conjunction with the reduction.
With over 32 years of clinical experience and a legacy of 100,000+ surgical cases, I have mastered the precision required for high-difficulty combined breast reduction and lift procedures. Backed by a 19-year accident-free safety record, I am pleased to provide you with detailed answers to your concerns.
(Question)
Q1. Can a breast reduction alone lift severely sagging breasts?
(Answer)
A1. In cases of severe sagging, a standard reduction cannot fully correct the shape; it must be combined with a Breast Lift (Mastopexy). A fundamental solution requires repositioning the nipple-areola complex to the highest point and strategically excising sagging skin.
Our clinic utilizes a proprietary technique that discards unnecessary fat while retaining SVF (Stromal Vascular Fraction)—rich in regenerative stem cells—to reconstruct the internal Auto-ECM (Extracellular Matrix). This strengthens the internal support structure, ensuring a firm, long-lasting lift that prevents the breasts from sagging again.

Q2. Will combining a lift and reduction cause larger scars?
(Answer)
A2. While combining procedures involves a wider surgical area, my 32 years of expertise allow me to minimize visible marks using periareolar or vertical (Lollipop) incision methods.
Crucially, we integrate Auto-ECM therapy to maximize skin regeneration. By using pure autologous (self-derived) components, we trigger a powerful self-healing response at the incision site. This high-end post-operative care ensures that scars soften and blend naturally with your skin over time.

Q3. I’m worried about loss of sensation or an unnatural breast shape.
(Answer)
A3. To address these concerns, we use advanced surgical knowledge to precisely preserve micro-nerves and mammary gland tissues.
The Auto-ECM regeneration factors promote rapid tissue recovery, protecting nerve sensitivity and enhancing tissue flexibility. Under our 19-year accident-free system, we sculpt a breast line that isn't just temporary tension; it moves naturally and feels soft—as if it were your original shape.

Q4. Once the weight is gone, will the skin stay firm and tight?
(Answer)
A4. Skin resilience is just as vital as weight reduction. Our SVF-retention technology (discarding fat while keeping stem cells) helps regenerate a dense ECM structure, maximizing the skin’s natural contraction. This increases actual skin thickness and elasticity, rather than providing a temporary superficial pull. This allows your newly lifted, reduced breasts to remain firm and youthful for years to come.
