Breast implants with a breast lift at Umnagumo Plastic Surgery in Seoul, South Korea, combines volume restoration with tissue tightening. The combined procedure typically costs around $7,900 to $10,100 depending on the implant brand chosen. This single-specialty center is recognized by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and focuses exclusively on breast procedures.
Dr. Soonchan Eom leads the surgical team with specialized expertise in breast surgery. He holds a Ph.D. in Surgery from Kyoto University and served as the Chief Surgeon at Nagumo Clinic Tokyo. Dr. Junghyun Nam also performs these surgeries at the clinic. Dr. Junghyun Nam is an academic committee member of the Korean Society of Breast Plastic Surgery Research. The clinic team has over 25 years of experience and has performed 12,000+ breast operations.
The clinic uses specific incision techniques to hide scars. Surgeons often use a trans-axillary approach through the armpit for implant insertion. The lift portion uses a periareolar or donut incision around the nipple. These methods help keep the breast surface free of visible surgical marks. The clinic uses FDA-approved implants including Motiva, Mentor, and Sebbin. Patients receive an authenticity certificate for their specific implants after the surgery.
Patients typically stay in Seoul for 7 to 10 days for pre-operative tests and initial follow-up. The surgery itself is a day procedure with same-day discharge. Recovery milestones include:
The clinic provides structured follow-up care for a full year. This includes video consultations at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Patients also get a free annual ultrasound and scar treatments if they are needed as the incisions fade.

The clinic has performed nearly 12,750 breast surgeries since opening. It maintains a direct medical connection with the Tokyo Nagumo Clinic, founded in 1988. The Tokyo director visits the Seoul branch regularly to join clinical protocols and consultations.
The medical team includes seven board-certified plastic surgeons. Lead specialists include:
The clinic is an ASPS-recognized facility. The surgical team follows safety protocols from university hospitals, including specific anesthesiology and emergency response systems.
As a single-specialty center, the clinic focuses entirely on breast health and aesthetics. Surgeons perform primary augmentations, complex revisions, and post-mastectomy reconstructions. Revision cases address capsular contracture, implant rupture, and asymmetry.
Patients can choose trans-axillary, peri-areolar, or inframammary incision approaches. This allows personalized planning based on skin elasticity and body type. The clinic uses only FDA-approved implants and provides authenticity certificates for every procedure.
Surgeons also perform specialized minor breast surgeries:
The clinic also offers Mammotome excision. This ultrasound-guided technique removes benign breast masses through a minimal incision under local anesthesia.
The facility includes diagnostic screening in the surgical care plan. This ensures implant placement won't interfere with future breast health monitoring. Three primary diagnostic tools are available:
These tools are used during initial consultations and long-term annual follow-ups. Preoperative planning includes tactile considerations and body-tailored comparison of implant models.
Umnagumo uses globally recognized implant brands known for safety and warranty support. Specialists compare tactile feel and projection levels during planning. Available systems include:
Every operating room contains an emergency response kit with an AED and a dantrolene kit for malignant hyperthermia. Anesthesia specialists participate in all major surgeries to monitor patient vitals.
The clinic provides a structured aftercare system translated for international residents. Consultations are available in English and Japanese. During initial recovery in Seoul, patients receive in-person checks to monitor healing and drain management.
Once patients return home, the clinic conducts video follow-ups in English. These digital consultations occur at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Specialists provide a 90-day post-operative guide covering diet, medication, and scar care. Online support is available through WhatsApp and LINE.
