1. ㄴㅌ No photos taken Chart 작성 - consultant - doctor - consultant That was the order, and it was my first consultation They didn’t take photos, and during the consultation only the doctor saw my breasts The doctor was a woman, so not taking photos didn’t feel burdensome, which was nice The consultant also had a good personality, was straightforward, and everything was good One thing that was disappointing was that I wanted to show my body to the doctor, tell them the style I wanted, and then have them recommend an appropriate implant while taking into account things like my rib cage and skin/tissue quality At the time of the consultation I was 100% satisfied and felt like I was going to do it here, but after comparing it with the place I had booked afterward, I realized the doctor’s explanation was a bit lacking I was recommended Mentor Xtra, in the 6-7 million KRW range (includes accessory breast removal, but I’m not sure if other test fees are included) Actually, rather than a recommendation, it’s more accurate to say I just chose it myself It was Friday afternoon, but the wait wasn’t that long
2. ㅂ (the worstㅠ) I arrived 10 minutes before my appointment and went to the first-floor lobby, but the staff member had a blank expression and didn’t even glance at me, even though I was standing right in front of them looking awkwardㅋㅋ I feel like even a neighborhood internal medicine clinic would be kinder than this. They just tossed me something like an iPad and told me to fill out the chart. The halogen light on the first-floor ceiling was flickering too, maybe the bulb was out.. Until then, since it was my first time at a plastic surgery clinic, I was in shy mode, but I got annoyed and immediately turned off timid mode I went to maybe the 3rd floor and waited, and then they suddenly said let’s take photos and took me away. Since ㄴㅌ hadn’t taken any photos, having them suddenly take photos without explanation felt burdensome, and the photo-taking area wasn’t private. Someone was already sitting there using a computer. They told me to take off my clothes there It’s a place where you undress, so why was another staff member there, and not even the minimum number of people? They told me to undress and didn’t even close the curtain After the photos, they told me to go to maybe the 4th floor, so I waited and then had a consultation with the consultant She wasn’t even the doctor, and I hadn’t even seen the doctor, but she kept trying to consult me about things herself It reminded me of 10 years ago, when consultants used to act like doctors during consultations (around 10 years ago I once only had a consultation and didn’t have surgery) Except for the first-floor staff, everyone was kind, though Then they told me to go back to the 5th floor and wait. Go here, go there, it felt like some health checkup centerㅋㅋ (1st floor > 3rd floor > 4th floor > 5th floor) I hadn’t even seen the doctor yet, look at my routeㅋㅋ Up to this point, excluding the 10 minutes I arrived early, it had taken a total of 50 minutes, and they said they were very backed up, apologized, and said they would check the waiting time I was going to decide on surgery today, but then I would basically be getting surgery after only consulting at ㄴㅌ, so since nearby ㅇㅋ said a consultation was possible, I apologized and left before even seeing the doctor I wanted to at least see the doctor before leaving, but there wasn’t enough time. I had barely managed to book ㅇㅋ, so I didn’t have time to finish the consultation at ㅂ too The clinic’s condition also somehow looked old.. I even searched the opening date.. The facilities aren’t shabby, but it felt kind of like a room in an old hotel with worn-down condition It was just a consultation with zero consideration for patients, starting with the route, and the first-floor staff being unkind (even a machine would probably be kinder and have more facial expression than that) I heard Chinese, everyone was busy, they kept making me go back and forth, it was just like being in the middle of a market.. If it’s like this even before surgery, what would it be like after surgery.. Especially the fact that the place for undressing was like that made me think, this place really has no consideration for patients, huh? Even before surgeryㅋㅋ
3. ㅇㅋ (I booked surgery here immediately for 2 weeks later) This place has one doctor (an anesthesiologist is on-site o), so it didn’t feel like a factory-type clinic, which was nice Even though I walked in exhausted and stressed out from ㅂ, they were kind and the clinic was pretty.. nice scent, calm music.. my mood improved Some may say what does it matter if the clinic is pretty, but I like that they pay attention even to things like this because it feels like a clinic the doctor opened with a lot of passion Even the chart board was light purple, and the pen matched the chart color too. If I wrote down all these small details it would get long, so I’ll skip them They did take photos, but it was in a private space The deciding factor was that the doctor gave such a good consultation What I cared about most was them looking at my body, listening to what I said, and recommending an implant. They really listened in detail, asked questions, answered mine, and seriously recommended implants I had even said the incision site was decided, but even though it was close to the clinic closing time, they asked and answered why I chose that site. I was definitely an armpit-incision girl, but changed to inframammary incision I’m not easily swayed, and if anything I’m really stubborn, but the doctor didn’t recommend inframammary incision just because it was convenient for them. It would be long to explain, but anyway, they asked and answered so I could make a good choice I’m really grateful that they made me think once about inframammary incision too, even though I had already decided on armpit incisionㅋㅋ After the consultation ended, I decided and booked within 5 minutes, even had blood drawn, booked for 2 weeks later, and leftㅋㅋ I’m so excitedㅠㅠ The price was also in the 3-4 million KRW range (includes various test fees, corrective bra fee, and accessory breast removal) I’m going crazy wanting to get surgery quickly
