A lighter, natural change:
breast reduction & lift
A breast reduction and lift is more than surgery to make the breasts smaller.
At Humanity, our breast reduction and lift
reduces your breasts as much as you want while keeping them full and rounded.
Breast Sagging Self-Check
Use these simple guidelines to check how much your breasts currently sag.
• Normal : The nipple sits above the breast crease (inframammary fold)
• Grade 1 (mild sagging) : The nipple sits at about the same level as the breast crease
• Grade 2 (moderate sagging) : The nipple sits below the breast crease
• Grade 3 (severe sagging) : The nipple points downward, at the lowest point of the breast
• Pseudoptosis : The nipple is within the normal range, but the breast tissue below it has sagged
Why Choose Humanity for Breast Reduction & Lift
Point 1
Improving Size and Sagging Together
Considering both the size of your breasts and how much they sag, we reduce excess breast tissue appropriately and correct the position and shape of sagging breasts to design a breast contour that suits your body.
Point 2
Balanced Design That Considers Physical Discomfort
We carefully analyze your body type, breast tissue, and left-right balance, taking into account the physical strain caused by the size and weight of your breasts. By designing a size and shape that fit your body, we aim for both comfort and a natural breast contour.
Breast Reduction & Lift Incision Options
The incision used for a breast reduction and lift may vary depending on breast size, the degree of sagging, and the amount of tissue that needs to be removed.
Periareolar Incision (Around the Areola)
An option that may be considered when sagging is relatively mild.
Vertical Incision
An incision is made running down below the areola to improve both size and sagging.
Inverted-T Incision
An option that may be considered when sagging is severe or a large amount of tissue needs to be removed.

· Those who experience neck, shoulder, or back discomfort because of large breasts
· Those who want to lift sagging breasts for a natural, firmer look
