VG Plastic Surgery
Dr. Seung‑Hyung Noh is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon. He has extensive experience in revision surgery for major aesthetic procedures. He is known for managing complex revision cases that call for sound judgment and precise technique.
He earned his medical degree from Hanyang University College of Medicine. He completed training in plastic and reconstructive surgery at Hanyang University Hospital. He also completed a clinical training program at Columbia University in New York.
His approach puts safety, balance, and natural results first. He avoids overtreatment and uses the least necessary intervention. He is a full member of major Korean plastic surgery societies, including KSPRS.
Breast lift with implants typically allows for breastfeeding, though it may reduce milk volume. Most surgeons in the Republic of Korea preserve the nipple-areola complex connection to underlying ducts, maintaining functional lactation. Success depends on the incision technique and maintaining nerve sensitivity for hormonal let-down reflexes.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Korea's specialized clinics like JK Plastic Surgery Center report a 100% success rate across thousands of procedures by using conservative tissue handling. Data suggests that choosing a board-certified surgeon who prioritizes minimal intervention, such as those at Seoul Miz Hospital, significantly improves the chances of maintaining a functional milk supply.
Patient Consensus: Many patients suggest delaying surgery until after childbearing due to concerns about low milk supply. Those who proceed often plan for formula supplementation just in case lactation is challenged.
Selecting the appropriate implant size in Korea involves anatomical mapping and 3D virtual simulations to prioritize long-term tissue stability. Surgeons calculate the ideal volume in cubic centimeters by measuring chest wall width, base diameter, and skin elasticity to ensure natural proportions on your specific frame.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While patients often request specific cup sizes, Korean clinics like JK Plastic Surgery Center prioritize the base width measurement. Data shows that a 12cm base width typically pairs best with 275cc to 325cc implants. This conservative approach significantly reduces revision risks and prevents the double bubble deformity common in smaller frames.
Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize that bringing personal bralettes to consultations helps with realistic sizing. Many found that following the surgeon's recommendation to downsize 50cc led to more comfortable and natural-looking results.
