Fore Motiva Preserve breast surgery from the day of surgery through week 2~

I had my consultation at Fore last time and had surgery on 6/23 ^,^ On the day of surgery, I was both super excited and extremely nervous, but at the end Dr. Kim Min-young carefully did the design and explained the surgery in detail once more, which put me at ease. The coordinators and the staff in the operating room were also incredibly kind and took great care of me After the surgery, I was out of it because of the anesthesia, and aside from feeling half-asleep because there was still anesthetic fluid left in my chest, I was not in pain. I could use my arms just fine. Because it was Preserve, the incision was made under the breast, so there was less discomfort when lifting my arms. On the first day, I think I just took my medicine as soon as I got home and then fell asleep without thinking. Starting the day after surgery, the swelling began, and I thought I should only wear the upper band and be careful, so I rested all day. My areolas got bigger because I was so swollen, and there was some throbbing, but it got better after taking Tylenol. It was not the kind of feeling like a truck had run over me, as rumored haha There was a slight bulge on the upper part of my chest, but they said it would move down quickly if I wore the upper band properly, so I wore it 24 hours a day! For now, I really love the shape of my chest! On day 2, there was still some poking and throbbing, but it was not hard to handle. I was more free to move around than the day before, so I caught up on cleaning and even took the dogs for a walk! On day 3, I kept wearing the upper band and managed it so the swelling would not get worse. Since it is the swelling period, my chest was still very swollen today too, like it might burst! It did not hurt when I left it alone, but it hurt when I touched it with my hand I got through the first week without major discomfort, and then came in for a checkup while getting my stitches removed. The swelling had gone down a lot more, so the shape is already visible and everything is fine. I think daily life should be okay from the day after surgery. A friend of mine who recently had surgery said she could not move for ten days, but maybe because I did it with the Preserve method, I could go back to daily life right away. Dr. Kim removed the stitches himself, and it did not hurt at all. I think he made it very carefully at a nano size so that no scar would remain; he had sewn it so beautifully it was almost astonishing haha For now, I will keep using Steri-Strips! It is still quite tight, but the upper bulge has gone down a lot and the shape seems to have settled nicely>< Around the second week, I sometimes even forget that I had surgery and only realize it when I see the band still on me. The recovery seems unbelievably fast. Now, except for the firmness to the touch, the shape seems about 90% settled. The areola that had expanded has also returned a lot, and aside from being active during the day and getting a little swollen in the evening, I have really been living almost like before surgery. The upper bulge is almost invisible too. I was really worried.. With a little more recovery, I think the feel will soften too and it will come down into a pretty curve!! I wanted a natural shape, and right now I am so happy with it ♡ I will bring a 3-week review next time ^^ If you have any questions, ask me anything!! Dr. Kim Min-young at Fore Plastic Surgery, I totally recommend her ♡
