A real review of Mentor Xtra breast augmentation
155 cm/53 kg, inframammary incision Chest wall 12.5 Mentor Xtra 400 cc I did go a bit large for my body size, but I’m so satisfied lol ㅠㅠ I was worried I’d feel disappointed once the swelling went down
Day of surgery It was my first time under general anesthesia, so I was really nervous, but within 2 seconds my vision got blurry, and when I came to, I was in the recovery room .. !!! I’d heard that even though they keep you warm, people still feel cold, so I wondered why, but it’s separate from the blanket being warm. My body itself felt cold, like I had body aches, so I was shivering, and maybe because I had dual-plane placement, every time I trembled, it felt like the incised muscle tightened, so it hurt more ㅠㅠ But overall it didn’t hurt much, so it was just stiff and sore in the recovery room, and I only got startled once in a while when the taxi went over speed bumps? I think it was pain close to painless haha Maybe thanks to the pain-control injection lol The feel was just like a hard rubber ball, not even firm and bouncy, just hard
Days 2-3 after surgery Because I had the pain-control injection attached, there was almost no pain, and it was just a bit stiff when getting out of bed. If someone held me and I got up using my own strength, it didn’t hurt, I think haha I slept at a 45-degree angle with 3 pillows underneath (they said the swelling would go down faster, and it hurt less this way). Sleeping like this also made my lower back, which had nothing to do with the surgery, hurt less, so I plan to sleep like this for about a week lolol The feel went from hard to slightly like a bouncy ball!! On the day of surgery, the area between my breasts felt like the skin was being pulled from both sides, and it was hard even when pressed, but it feels like the tissue is loosening very slightly; when I pressed it, it actually indented just a tiny bit. I guess it’s stretching! I hope the upper fullness goes away soon ㅜ
One week after surgery I had the stitches removed and the director checked my progress, and he said it turned out very well, so I felt relieved. Even to me, it wasn’t the bowl-like shape I had worried about, so once the swelling and shape settle, I think I’ll be even more satisfied than now lol haha The feel at one week: the front of the breasts was firm, maybe because muscle is covering it, and the sides and lower part felt like fat covering a bouncy ball? When pressed, it goes in softly~ and then you feel the bouncy ball!! lolololol Can you imagine it? For the first aftercare session, I got lymphatic massage? LED, and a breast pack. As far as I know, lymphatic massage is for reducing swelling, and the breast pack is probably? for swelling too, and LED is for the feel maybe .. now that I’m saying it, I’m not sure, but as soon as I got it, the amount of softening that had been happening over 1 week happened in 30 minutes. Now overall it’s that soft-but-firm feeling I mentioned earlier!! Aftercare is good haha
