First of all, feel and naturalness were my top priorities! I’m not the type to go for anything flashy or dress things up much, so I thought I’d feel more burdened if only my breasts were big. I just wanted to get away from my complex and, instead of uncomfortable bras, live wearing only bralettes for the rest of my life.
There are probably a lot of people here who want to go small but are debating because everyone says they regret it.
Earlier, after the surgery ended, I saw them before putting on the bra, and wow.. they were so pretty, natural, and just right. Even in that scary moment after waking from general anesthesia, with my whole body trembling, I was so satisfied that my whole chest felt overwhelmed.
After deciding on size, the next concern was the implant, and for me it absolutely had to be Mentor. (Those who have gone to consultations and touched implants probably know, but Mentor is the best for softness.) I was really torn between Mentor Smooth and Extra Smooth.
Classic Smooth has a lower fill rate, so it feels a bit softer, but they said the risk of feeling rippling or wrinkles is greater. Extra Smooth is also softer than other implants, (there isn’t a huge difference) but to my hand, Classic definitely felt softer. I didn’t want to give up even that small bit of softness. But it also has the advantage of much less wrinkling, so side effects are greatly reduced.
The director said my skin layer was okay and I had some existing breast tissue (not a lot, just an A), so Classic Smooth would be fine, and that placing it under the muscle would be better than dual-plane, so I trusted him and went with that. The director was really.. so meticulous, and I could feel his academic drive? and sincerity toward breast surgery, so I trusted him 200%.
I’m seriously very scared of things. I’m the kind of person who sobs even after waking from sedation for a gastroscopy, but compared with what I had prepared myself for, it hurt so much less and was so okay that it feels absurd how scared I was, and I regret not doing it sooner.
My husband was extremely against it, but for now it’s still private, so he’s sulking while seeing that they look bigger under clothes haha I’ll try posting my husband’s reaction afterward too.
