While considering breast surgery, I searched for hospitals a lot. I spent a lot of time looking things up online and went to several consultations, but a friend who knew a lot about breast surgery told me to definitely visit [Clinic A], so I ended up getting my last consultation there.
After the consultation, I liked that the doctor personally handled everything from start to finish and did not just explain things formally, but explained each point one by one based on my body type and concerns. They also showed me what my breasts would look like after surgery in 3D, and since they said they only perform one surgery per day, I trusted them even more. The manager was also not the type to rush a contract or pressure me with sales, so I could consult comfortably.
Even so, I did not decide to have surgery right away. Since it was a major operation, I kept worrying for months, looked up a lot of blog reviews, and carefully read reviews on communities like Yeowoo-ya. I compared things while filtering out posts that seemed too obviously like ads or review marketing, and after deciding between two places, I chose [Clinic A].
On the day of surgery, I was very nervous, but the nurses were so kind that I felt much more at ease than I expected. The surgery went well, and honestly, the pain was much less than I had imagined. That said, for a few weeks it was honestly hard to get up, walk, and move around.
I am naturally timid, so I really followed the precautions the doctor gave me carefully, and I was extremely careful not to let my breasts take any impact. I also managed the scar and the stitches very diligently for the full 3 months without missing a day.
After about a month, the shape of the breasts had already become much more natural, but around 3 months in, the texture also became truly natural. Now, even when I lie down, they spread naturally like real breasts, and even when I touch them myself, there is almost no sense of something being artificial. At this point, no one would think they are surgically enhanced just by looking at them ☺️
The most important thing for me when choosing a hospital was that it should not be run in an assembly-line way, and that its attitude before and after surgery should be the same! I had seen so many reviews saying that they are kind only during consultation, but after surgery it is hard to see the doctor, or that aftercare is poor, so I paid the most attention to that part.
But [Clinic A] was even more satisfying after the surgery. Even during follow-up visits, the doctor personally checked everything carefully, and if I had any questions at all, the replies came very quickly when I asked through KakaoTalk. If needed, they told me to come in the very next day and checked my condition right away. Breast surgery is the kind of operation that makes people worry a lot, but because aftercare was good, my anxiety went down a lot.
I also spent a long time overseas at one point, and even then, whenever I had questions, I messaged the doctor through KakaoTalk and could get a reply right away, so I felt really reassured. Once you experience it yourself, the way they take responsibility for their patients all the way through really makes you trust them more!
In the end, I am truly satisfied. My body line looks much prettier, and the fit of my clothes changed too! The scar under my armpit is now almost invisible, so I am very, very satisfied. And because it looks natural, I love it even more. That was also the part I kept emphasizing to the doctor before surgery 🍀
Honestly, I think hospitals are hard to recommend to others easily, because results can differ from person to person.
But [Clinic A] gave me such a high level of satisfaction in my own experience that if someone around me says they are thinking about breast surgery, I always recommend that they at least go for a consultation once. If you are the kind of person who thinks for a long time because of the hospital choice, I recommend getting a consultation!
