I’ve always had quite prominent axillary breast tissues and finally decided to bite the bullet to remove them on my recent trip to Korea. I enquired about the procedure with a few different clinics and decided to go ahead with Woori Plastic Surgery Clinic because they’re the only one who mentioned that they will be able to remove the visible mammary gland tissue together with liposuction. Most clinics I’ve inquired with either only do liposuction or will only remove the mammary gland if I am doing it together with breast augmentation.
I sent in my concern via their chat services and was assisted by their English coordinator Katherine. She was friendly and patient with all my questions. As I was only in Korea for a short duration, I wanted to make sure I was able to get the procedure done and fly off on my scheduled date. Katherine was really helpful in addressing all my concerns. After searching up Woori online and reading on reviews by others. I decided to go ahead with making the appointment.
On the day of appointment, Katherine met me at the reception and stayed with me throughout the doctor’s consultation all the way to the operating room, making sure I was comfortable throughout. The doctor was thorough in his explanation and made sure I knew what the procedure will be like and what the possible side effects were.
My procedure was done under sleep anaesthesia and it was over before I knew it. The entire process took about 4-5 hours and there was minimal discomfort after. I was able to go about with my day.
I went back the next day for dressing change and besides the mild discomfort around the surgical site, I was able to carry out my day to day activities with no problem.
It’s been about 2 weeks since I’ve had my surgery. The bruising was quite bad on the left initially but is much better now. The surgical site is still a bit swollen but I’m loving how it looks. I can definitely see myself wearing clothes I didn’t dare to wear previously.

(sorry for the confusion) I just so happened to have both fat and actual breast tissue in my axillary fat region hence why I wanted to get it removed. Exercise alone was not going to help solve the problem I had. I did excision to remove the glands in that area and the skin to minimise folding. I also did liposuction to remove the fats from the area just to make it more aesthetic.
