Treatment Overview
Chest Sculpting in Korea is a cosmetic body-shaping procedure designed to create a defined, contoured, and proportionate chest. Unlike chest augmentation or reduction alone, chest sculpting uses high-definition liposuction, fat grafting, or surgical correction to enhance the chest’s muscular definition, reduce unwanted fat, and achieve a naturally toned appearance.
This procedure is sought after by both men and women:
- For men, chest sculpting often targets excess fat, gynecomastia correction, and pectoral definition.
- For women, it may focus on enhancing contour, balancing proportions, or refining chest lines in harmony with breast shape.
Korean plastic surgeons are highly experienced in HD body sculpting and gynecomastia surgery, using advanced technologies like micro-cannula liposuction, ultrasound-assisted lipo, and fat grafting. Korea’s approach emphasizes scar minimization, natural results, and proportion-based artistry.
Purpose & Benefits

- Definition Enhancement: Highlights natural pectoral lines for a toned appearance.
