My previous post is a bit long. Still, I think it will be very helpful for anyone looking into this clinic! I want to upload photos once things look a little more natural, so I'm holding back for now :) I'll upload photos in my next review! Everyone, look at the supermoon I took and pray for beautiful breasts for me haha

1. The first consultation day in July
I had been looking into surgery for about 3 months, but it was July when I finally worked up the courage to go to a clinic! At first, I went around to all the clinics said to be famous, but somehow if I didn't choose the most expensive implant, I was treated like an afterthought, and the explanations were half-hearted, so I came back really disappointed;
Then I saw reviews of this place in a cafe, and the shape was so pretty, the scarring was almost nonexistent, and on top of that they said there was no need to wear a corrective bra, so I went for a consultation at the clinic where I had my surgery!!!!
First, I met Director Heejin at the beginning (is it okay to write her real name..?)
*She really got straight to the point, and I liked that she organized and explained everything so well that I really didn't even need to ask the questions I had prepared. *There was no unnecessary empathy like (It must have been hard having small breasts, right~? I understand too~) *There was absolutely no sales pressure like (This implant is the most popular. Even if it's expensive, you should do this one!!), which I liked even more! *I liked that she didn't disparage or badmouth other clinics to make a sale.
I think more than half the reason I chose this place was Director Heejin...!!
When I said I wanted to touch the implants and decide, she gave me a really clear consultation, and then Dr. Song came in. Maybe this is the style here, but the doctor also didn't say anything unnecessary and pointed out only the parts that were truly needed. On top of that, unlike other clinics where there are several doctors just in charge of breasts, there was only Dr. Song, so thinking that every review photo I had seen was made by this person's hands, I trusted him completely and paid right away.
Even the provisional deposit was heavily pushed at other clinics, but here they were so cool about it and told me to do whatever I wanted, so I said I would do it and came back lol
1. The long-awaited surgery day
Actually, because of moving, work, my schedule being all over the place, and not being able to make up my mind, I changed the surgery date 3 times, and every time, the director understood my situation and handled it cleanly, so I'm grateful all over again.. haha It was originally surgery in early September, but a few days before, I just booked it for August 22 and went. By then.. I was so tired of waiting.. lol
Anyway, on surgery day I was late to the clinic, but I quickly had the same-day tests, met with the director and the doctor once, had the markings (?) drawn, and went straight to the operating room. The anesthesiologist came in, greeted me, and I fell asleep right away and woke up.. lol
When I woke up, my breasts just felt a little heavy, I was cold because of the anesthesia, and it didn't hurt at all.. As soon as the anesthesia wore off, I think I told the nurse at least 5 times, 'I'm not in pain, so can I go home..?' It really didn't hurt so much that I wondered if this was what people mean by [winning the painless lottery]. But honestly, after reading reviews saying a lot of people here had no pain, I wasn't worried either lol
In the end, the nurse let me go, so I came out about 20 minutes earlier than the time my boyfriend was supposed to come lol I put the pain pump line by myself behind my hoodie (then it didn't show), went to the pharmacy, bought anti-inflammatory medicine and capsular contracture medicine, bought coffee, and walked around the streets of Gangnam while drinking it. I've been told before that my sense of pain is kind of numb, but it really didn't hurt at all..
3. And for the 10 days after surgery..
They were the happiest 10 days of my life! For the first 2-3 days, I thought I should still be careful, so I didn't schedule any work, but I got so bored that I just rested while doing work I could do remotely.
The best part.. Honestly, I've been living with my boyfriend, who I'm preparing to marry, for a long time, so our relationship had become distant, but it seems that wasn't the real problem. People say the boyfriend is the biggest beneficiary, and this is true. Living together wasn't the sin; small breasts were the sin.
We're also planning to take wedding photos soon, and I'm so excited! I'm trying to take them when my breasts are softening and looking prettier. My boyfriend also buys pretty underwear in his own style, and seeing myself look prettier has increased affection on both sides, and even though I can't wear them yet, buying bikinis is fun!
I thought I wasn't interested in my appearance, but I guess that was just me rationalizing. Now that my breasts are bigger and I wear clothes with a pretty figure, I want to become even prettier, and I feel like appearance is connected to confidence.
I'm still wearing the compression bra every day, and at first it stung a little, maybe because it touched the axillary incision area, but now it's become such an essential item that I feel anxious without it hehe
And at 1 week after surgery, I loosened the compression bra a little and even went to a friend's wedding haha That's how good my recovery was, and now I can use my underarms completely freely!

Addition 1) The clinic overall was kind, but the operating room side was much kinder than reception lol The operating room nurses were seriously super kind.. My nerves melted away
Addition 2) Usually people find clinics by initials, but this place was hard because there are a few clinics with overlapping initials. So I always searched [animal] ㅠㅠ lol
Funny story) My dog usually snuggles deeply when I hold him, but now that my breasts are bigger, if his body gets pressed, he glares at me lol Last time he jumped down from my arms ㅠㅠ I'm sorry, but I'm happy,,
Funny story 2) The underwear I used to wear had a tremendous amount of padding, but when I organized my underwear, the drawer became empty.. All the thick padding disappeared

Everyone, there is no time to agonize. Run to the clinic right now! And go for a consultation at a place that talks about FACTS. Sales talk and empathy do not help my breasts. For reference, I am 100% T haha
