What is Breast Reduction?

JW’s breast reduction that considers your health and beautiful body shape

Extremely large breasts make you look dull and informal. Heavy breasts easily sag and cause eczema and pain to the neck, back, and shoulders.

Breast reduction In Korea is the plastic breast surgery procedure for reducing the size and shape of large and sagging breasts. Once a proper procedure is provided, patients are highly satisfied, compared to any other operations. Breast reduction, known as one of the most difficult operations in mammoplasty, should be performed by skilled specialists with extensive experience.

We recommend breast reduction to the following people:
