Treatment Overview
Breast Asymmetry Correction in Korea is a specialized plastic surgery procedure designed to balance the size, shape, and position of the breasts. This can be achieved through a combination of breast augmentation, reduction, lift, or fat grafting, depending on the patient’s needs.
Korean plastic surgeons are internationally recognized for their precision, natural-looking results, and ability to create symmetry while preserving aesthetics, making Korea a top destination for this procedure.

- Compression bras are recommended for 4–6 weeks
- Avoid heavy lifting or chest strain for 4–6 weeks
- Follow-up visits ensure proper healing, breast symmetry, and shape
Results & Longevity
