Sagging breast correction with Dual Plane Ⅱ / Ⅲ: The dual plane technique lifts sagging breasts without additional incisions, creating a natural, smooth breast curve with implant volume alone.
Less risk of vessel and nerve damage: A high-resolution FULL HD endoscope allows precise visualization of the surgical area and meticulous tissue dissection, minimizing nerve and vessel damage and preventing bleeding-related complications.
Improved nipple balance: Rather than focusing on volume alone, we perform detailed, customized surgery that considers the position of the nipple-areola complex and the overall balance of the breasts.
Surgical approach based on anatomy: We comprehensively analyze anatomical factors such as breast size, skin elasticity, glandular tissue, and muscle development to recommend the most suitable technique.
| Characteristics | Distance between nipple position and inframammary fold | Surgical Method | Lift Technique | Improvement | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | ㅡ | ㅡ | Breast augmentation | ㅡ | Increased volume |
| Grade 1 | Mild sagging *In some cases, breast augmentation | Within 1 cm | Breast augmentation or Breast augmentation + lift | Crescent incision | Improved volume, lifted areola position |
| Grade 2 | Noticeable sagging and change in breast shape | Within 1–3 cm | Breast augmentation + lift | Vertical incision | Restores hollowness, lifts tissue that has descended |
| Grade 3 | Severe sagging with the entire breast shifted downward | 3 cm or more | Breast augmentation + lift | Vertical incision or anchor (inverted-T) incision *The anchor incision is mainly used when | Restores hollowness, overall lift of tissue that has shifted downward |
| Pseudoptosis | Sagging present, but areola position is normal | ㅡ | Breast augmentation | ㅡ | Restores lost upper-pole volume |
CASE 1. Crescent Incision (mild sagging)
An incision is made in a crescent shape above the areola, and the sagging tissue is pulled upward.
The crescent technique leaves a small scar, allows for significant tissue removal, and enables a quick recovery.
Crescent incision, then removal of the epidermal layer only
Removal of sagging glandular tissue
Closure of the incision
Closure completeAn incision is made around the areola to remove part of the breast tissue.
Compared with other techniques, it leaves less scarring, allows faster recovery, and suits breasts with mild sagging.
Incision around the areola, then removal of the epidermal layer only
Nipple is lifted upward
Excision of sagging skin and tissue
Closure around the areolaAn incision is made around the areola, followed by a vertical incision of about 4–5 cm downward.
It is a widely used technique because it can correct a significant degree of sagging.
Incision around the areola, then removal of the epidermal layer only
Closure of the incision
Excision and removal of sagging glandular and skin tissue
Closure completeThe most traditional technique: incisions are made around the areola and from the nipple down to the inframammary fold,
and the sagging glandular tissue, fat, and skin are removed. It is suitable for very large, severely sagging breasts.
Incision around the areola and down to the inframammary fold, then removal of the epidermal layer only
Excision and removal of sagging glandular tissue, skin tissue, etc.
