Consultation with a partner surgeon
Why Choose Korea
Korean surgeons plan breast surgery around each patient's body frame, with a range of implant types and surgical techniques.
Partner clinics use approved implant types, and your surgeon will explain which they use; some clinics offer 3D simulation, which is only an approximation of the result.
Surgeons may use transaxillary (armpit) or inframammary (breast fold) incisions to place scars in less visible areas. All incisions leave some scarring.
Breast surgery prices in Korea are often lower than typical US prices — estimates, not quotes. Remember to budget for flights and accommodation.
Increases breast size and shape with silicone or saline implants, chosen to suit your body frame.
Reshapes and lifts sagging breasts, with or without added volume.
Reduces breast size, which may relieve discomfort and improve proportion. Usually combines reduction with lifting.
Surgery to address problems after previous breast surgery, such as capsular contracture, implant displacement or asymmetry, or to replace implants.
Breast enhancement using your own fat instead of implants. Usually suited to a modest size increase; some transferred fat is reabsorbed.
Treats enlarged male breast tissue through liposuction and gland excision to flatten the chest contour.

We recommend 7-10 days. This allows for pre-operative consultations, surgery, and initial recovery including first follow-up and drain removal if needed.
MyDoc Korea does not recommend implants — that is a medical decision. The treating clinic will explain which approved implant types it uses, and their benefits and risks, at your consultation.
All incisions leave a scar, but surgeons try to place them where they are less visible: the transaxillary approach places the scar in the armpit rather than on the breast, and inframammary incisions sit in the natural breast fold. How scars heal varies from person to person.
Breast implants are not lifetime devices. They often last many years, but some need to be replaced sooner because of problems such as rupture or capsular contracture. Regular check-ups help detect problems early, and your surgeon will explain the risks at the consultation.
Many women can breastfeed after augmentation, as the implant is usually placed behind the breast tissue or muscle, but some incisions and techniques can affect breastfeeding. Your surgeon will discuss this during consultation.
Some patients combine breast surgery with other procedures in one trip; your surgeon advises what can safely be combined.

FAQ
Breast augmentation in Korea is estimated at $4,000-$8,000 including implants, compared with a typical $8,000-$15,000 in the USA. What a quote includes (surgeon fee, implants, anesthesia, aftercare) varies by clinic, and the treating clinic confirms the final price after your consultation.
Partner clinics use implants approved for use in Korea. The treating clinic will explain which approved implant types it uses, and their benefits and risks, at your consultation.
Most patients can return to light activities within 5-7 days. A compression bra is worn for 4-6 weeks. Avoid heavy lifting for 6 weeks. We recommend staying in Korea for 7-10 days after surgery.
Many Korean surgeons aim for natural-looking results, using techniques such as dual-plane placement and choosing an implant to suit your body frame; some clinics use 3D simulation, which is only an approximation. Results vary from person to person, and your surgeon will discuss realistic expectations and risks at the consultation.
Breast augmentation in Korea is estimated at $4,000-$8,000 USD (about A$6,000-$12,000) including implants, compared with A$12,000-$22,000 in Australia. Flights and a 7-10 night stay add to the total, so compare itemised quotes for the same implant and surgical scope. Sydney and Brisbane have non-stop 10-hour flights to Seoul, Australians enter visa-free for 90 days, and MyDoc Korea arranges remote follow-up with your surgeon after you return home.
Every medical procedure carries risks. These are the main ones to discuss with your surgeon or physician — they will explain the risks that apply to you before you give consent.
Recovery: Plan for about 7–10 days in Korea; avoid strenuous activity for several weeks.
