[Breast surgery review] Finally, the breast surgery I had long hoped for! Mentor Xtra 310cc one-month honest review

I had honestly been worried about it since I was a high school student, and after starting my first job I saved up money little by little and got breast surgery.... Right now it looks so natural that it feels like my own breasts, but for people who are thinking about it like I was, I will leave a detailed write-up as if I were writing a diary# Hospital and surgery infoHospital: Grida Plastic Surgery (near Gangnam Station)Director: Director Han So-eunImplant: Mentor Xtra highVolume: 310cc on both sides equallyIncision: inframammary incisionAnesthesia: sedation anesthesia# Before surgeryBefore, I had an average body type, but not only my upper chest, my breasts were basically nonexistent, and even when I wore clothes the fit did not look right, so I was under a lot of stress T_T I had gained about 5 kg more than in high school, but my breasts did not gain any volume and only other parts of me got bigger...😭# Choosing the hospital and deciding the size (cc)At first, since breast surgery is a procedure where you have to expose your whole body, I preferred a female director rather than a male director, but after hearing that the female director at Grida was very specialized and meticulous with breast surgery, I went there When I visited, the hospital facilities were so clean and there were not too many people like in a factory-style hospital, so there was almost no waiting and I think I felt really at ease throughout the consultation. At other places, I often only talked at length with the manager, but here the director carefully checked my ribcage size and skin elasticity too 🥹 I did not want anything too much, but I also disliked results that would be too subtle, so when I said I wanted to go with 310cc, she did not just say yes unconditionally; instead, she explained the position and line that would look prettiest for my body type in an easy-to-understand way, and I immediately felt confident that "ah, if I do it here, I can trust them with it." So I got the deposit I had placed at another hospital refunded right away and scheduled the surgery date that same day, and after consultation with the director I decided on 310cc in the high type! # Why I chose the inframammary incisionI wanted the inframammary incision from the beginning, and luckily the director preferred it too! The biggest reason was that with an inframammary incision, the director can directly see and place the implant, so the chance of asymmetry is lower and there is less bleeding. Also, compared with an axillary incision, arm movement is much freer and the pain is less, which was really important to me T_T😭 (As a worker, fast return to work is essential!) After actually having the surgery, because the director's skill is so good, the scar under the breast fold is much neater than I expected and is already hidden well by the breast crease, so it does not seem very noticeable yet... But I heard scars gradually fade if you do not obsess over them, so I am going to be patient and wait...# Surgery day to day 1I went to the hospital by myself during the second half of the afternoon after taking a half day off from work, listened to the surgery explanation, checked the final size, and then went into surgery! When I woke up, the surgery was already over, so it felt surreal! Because it was sedation anesthesia, I was a bit dazed when I woke up, but more than anything the pain felt like a heavy stone was sitting on my chest. On day 1, because of the bandages, breathing was a little uncomfortable, and because I had to fast I could not eat, so I felt a bit dizzy, but I somehow spent one night at the nearby hotel I had booked T_T I heard the support bra would arrive the next day, so I could not even lie down and slept sitting up lol# Day 2 to day 73 through day 3 were probably when the swelling and pressure were the worst! Even taking a deep breath out and then inhaling was hard, and because the swelling moved downward, the swelling in my belly and legs was no joke😭😭 It was to the point where I wondered if I might be pregnant... lol Walking was hard too because I had to move very carefully.. Still, by around day 7, moving my arms became much easier and I started taking short walks little by little! Until then, the skin felt so tight that I thought, "Is this really my skin?" but I already loved the shape, so I kept looking in the mirror I went back to work right around day 7 and it was fine! # Week 2 to week 3I had the stitches done with dissolvable thread, so there was nothing to remove separately, but when I went to the hospital for a follow-up, the director said the shape was so pretty and that the surgery went so well I was so happy...🫶 The director really is among the most skilled of the skilled...✨ After that, the recovery speed became incredibly fast! Since it is definitely Mentor Xtra, I began to feel the texture getting a little softer little by little compared with other implants. Because it is a high type, the upper chest volume filled up exactly as much as I wanted, so I am extremely satisfied...!!!!# One month after (After)Now most of the swelling has gone down and the shape has settled in really naturally! The way it spreads when I lie down is more natural than in the beginning, but it feels like with a little more time it will really become similar to my original breasts...? More than anything, the way clothes fit has completely changed, and I am living for the fun of shopping lol😆 I am only now painfully realizing why everyone says breast surgery is worth doing as early as possible...!!
