My breasts were very small, so after thinking about it for a long time, I had surgery with Director Park Young-ji. Before the surgery, I was curious about the result, but honestly, what I worried about most was recovery.
The day of surgery passed in a blur, and when I got home, using my arms felt more uncomfortable than I expected.
For the first week, my breasts did not feel like part of my body and there was a heavy feeling, but as time passed, it became more comfortable little by little. Because of the swelling, I thought they looked bigger than expected, but the director explained that this can happen early on due to swelling.
After about a month, daily life was almost possible, and I only had to be careful about exercise and lifting heavy objects. Personally, I think caring about posture and daily habits during recovery was more important than the surgery itself.
Now the tightness and soreness that I had at the beginning have greatly reduced, and I feel like there is a reason people say time solves it.
If you are considering surgery, I think it would be much easier to get through it if you do not just look at the result, but also prepare by understanding the recovery process in advance.
