Latest Trend of Breast Surgery in Korea

Latest trend teardrop breast implant natural results in Korea - MISOODA (Singapore)

Breast surgery, especially breast augmentation, is a common and popular plastic surgery procedure in the U.S. Before, the goal for breast surgery was to make the breasts appear rounder and bigger. However, as Asian women started to display interest from facial surgery to breast surgery, doctors in Korea actively tried to create natural looking breasts for Asian bodies. Nowadays, breast augmentation is not all about using implants to augment the size. Perhaps a more important goal is to recreate the natural proportion and shape of the breast. Due to the latest trends, implant types have been upgraded and enhanced to achieve the most natural results. One of the most popular implant shapes is called ‘teardrop implant’ which creates natural shape without artificial feel. It is known that the teardrop implant resembles the most ideal breast proportion as most of the fullness is in the lower part of the breast, while the upper cleavage is somewhat concave in shape. However, the most important thing to consider when you undergo breast surgery is to have an appropriate consultation with the surgeon and choose the implant that best fits to the body and surgical procedure.

Check: What to prepare before Plastic Surgery

  • There will be some pain after the breast surgery for about 3~4 days. The pain will lessen gradually. Painkillers will often be given to help relieve the pain.
  • A corrective garment should be always worn right after the surgery for breast augmentation. It should always be worn for 4 weeks.
  • If a hemoglobin bag is attached to your breasts, please avoid locking the valve. The bag is normally removed after 5~7 days.
  • Since general anesthesia is performed, please take soft food such as soup, congee or porridge for 2 days after the surgery.
  • Breast massages should be done on 5~7 day of the surgery. Please continue to massage for 3 months at least 13 times a day for 15 minutes.
  • Shower can be done from the next day of the stitch removal, but please avoid sauna and hot spring for 4 weeks.
  • Please avoid heavy exercise such as aerobics, gyms and so on for 4weeks. However, going for a walk is recommended.
  • Please take the prescribed pain killers and antibiotics. In case of requiring additional pain killer, take Tylenol, which does not contain aspirin. Aspirin related pain medication might cause bleeding, therefore it is not recommended.
  • Drinking and smoking should be avoided for 4 weeks. Alcohol can cause infection and smoking can damage/necrotize skin or postpone wound recovery as it contracts vessels.

How safe is breast surgery in Korea?+
Korea's board-certified Gangnam clinics maintain a strong safety record. MISOODA works only with licensed, malpractice-insured clinics, with no ghost doctors, and every treatment plan is reviewed in a personal consultation before you decide.
What is recovery like after breast surgery?+
Recovery depends on the specific procedure and your body. Your MISOODA case manager explains the expected timeline and aftercare for your plan and stays in touch throughout, so you always know what to expect.
Why do people choose Korea for breast surgery?+
Korea performs one of the highest volumes of cosmetic procedures in the world, with experienced specialists, advanced technology and prices around 30-60% below the US, with no foreigner markup at MISOODA's partner clinics.
Who is a good candidate for breast surgery?+
Suitability depends on your goals, anatomy and overall health rather than a single rule. A free MISOODA consultation reviews your case and advises whether breast surgery or an alternative is the best fit, with a no-obligation quote within 24 hours.
How long do I need to stay in Korea for breast surgery?+
Most international patients plan around 1-2 weeks in Korea so stitches can be removed and the surgeon can check healing before flying home; more extensive procedures may need longer. Your MISOODA case manager confirms the exact length for your plan and arranges every follow-up.
What's included in the price for breast surgery?+
Your MISOODA quote is itemised and transparent. It typically covers the consultation, the procedure and surgeon's fee, and, depending on the clinic, pre-operative tests, anaesthesia and post-op follow-up. You pay the same price as Korean locals with no foreigner markup, and we tell you upfront what is and isn't included.
Can breast surgery be combined with other procedures?+
Yes. Many patients combine breast surgery with complementary procedures in a single trip, which can save both time and overall cost. Whether it is suitable depends on your health and surgical plan, so your free MISOODA consultation advises what can safely be done together, with a no-obligation quote within 24 hours.
Is there a tax refund for plastic surgery in Korea in 2026?+
No. The 10% VAT refund for foreign patients' cosmetic procedures ended on January 1, 2026, when Korea's 2016 tax provision expired. Pages still advertising a 7–10% airport refund are outdated. The best remaining saving is paying what locals pay — MISOODA guarantees the same price as Korean locals, with no foreigner markup.
Do I still pay VAT on cosmetic surgery in Korea?+
Yes — cosmetic procedures include 10% VAT in the quoted price, and since January 1, 2026 it is no longer refundable. Medically necessary treatment is VAT-exempt, so it never carried this tax. Always compare final all-in quotes; MISOODA quotes are itemised and final.
How can I save on plastic surgery in Korea now that the tax refund ended?+
Pay what locals pay. Some agencies' foreigner prices exceed local prices by far more than the old 6–8% refund ever returned. MISOODA guarantees the same price as Korean locals, a free interpreter and concierge, and an itemised quote within 24 hours. Tax-free shopping on goods like cosmetics still works as usual. Singapore residents: pay MISOODA Singapore directly and receive 5% cashback 30 days after your procedure.
