Before after after after after after I think I made the right choice having surgery with Mentor Xtra I really like both the shape and the feel, and honestly before surgery I had many complexes, like wide-set breasts and asymmetry of both nipples, and I worried a lot about whether implants would improve these, or whether they would look artificial like that rice-bowl shape you sometimes see..
At first, I was deciding between Mentor and Motiva, and you can touch the implants during consultation, right? I do not know whether other people felt this too, but when I touched Motiva, it was firmer than I expected, and when I tried the fitting and felt the texture over clothes, Mentor Xtra was a bit softer and squishier... But they also say the feel is different when you touch it like that versus when it is actually inside the body, and my goal was improving asymmetry rather than texture, so I was debating. When I asked during consultation, the director looked over my breasts carefully, and said that normally he recommends what he thinks will give a better post-op shape depending on the breasts, but in my case, as long as the surgery is done well, the implant itself is not that important, and both Motiva and Mentor are possible, so I should choose what I want. So I decided on Mentor Xtra, which I had been drawn to from the beginning!
I put in as much as 400 cc implants, but what I like most is that the shape is natural like real breasts, and now that I have breast volume, of course the breasts naturally come together, and the nipple positions became symmetrical too!
Before surgery, I only hoped the asymmetry and wide spacing would be corrected well, but after surgery, the texture that I did not even expect is so good that I really want to recommend Mentor Xtra to everyone scheduled for surgery. It is not something I can tell you to touch directly, so I do not know how to explain it, but everyone knows mochi rice cake, right? If you put mochi in the refrigerator it feels firm, and when you take it out to room temperature it softens again. Would it be easier to understand if I say it is that process?? ^^
When I press here and there and knead them, before, I could clearly feel the implant, but as time passed and the breast texture softened, even when I touch them a lot, I definitely feel less of that implant interference!
Right now my breasts come out around a full C to D cup, and if I had not said I put in 400-range implants, you would not have known, right? It was possible because my breast pocket was wide compared with my body type, but everyone going around for breast consultations should also find a place that considers your specs and body type and diagnoses the recommended size well.
Honestly, at first when the director recommended 350 / 400, I was surprised, you know? Even during fitting, I worried I might look bulkier than expected, but once I actually had surgery, it was exactly the size I wanted, so it was fascinating. If I had not listened to the director and had gone smaller, it would have felt smaller than now, so I would have 100% regretted it.
Also, I really liked the nipple patches MD gave me, so I searched on Coupang, and there was something similar, so I bought a pack of 10. Since I keep wearing patches, I think I have stopped wearing bras. At home it does not matter, but outside, if I only wear patches, the bouncing shows as is, so I do need to buy bras. For people who have had surgery, which bras do you wear a lot? The director told me to wear seamless bras, so please recommend seamless bra brands ㄱㄱㄱ
