First of all, after having gone through several major surgeries, I had no intention of going to a private clinic for anything under general anesthesia, so I only went to large hospitals. I figure I’ll need revision surgery again when I get older anyway, and after feeling everyone’s implants, Mentor Smooth felt best to me, so I wanted Mentor Smooth.
168/46 70B and 75 are roomy enough in the cup area, but the band is too big so I can’t wear them Chest circumference 64 Breast base width (I didn’t ask, idiot sob, but they said it was big)
A similarly thin friend had Motiva and it felt way too firm, so I started the consultation by saying I didn’t want anything hard.
1. ㅇㅇㄷ (Chief surgeon ㅈㅈㅇ) A acquaintance had surgery two weeks ago with the same surgeon I was told he is the head of the breast center Mentor X Moderate High 350, 330 / 375, 350 Dual-plane Armpit incision CCTV viewing available No Caps. They had swelling laser, scar laser, packs, things like that Was it 3 sessions or 5 sessions? If it’s difficult, come in at the one-month mark
375 looked a bit big Because I’m slim, they said 350 suits me better At the coordinator consultation I said I wanted to remove side breast tissue, but it wasn’t mentioned in the surgeon consultation Armpit incision or inframammary incision, my choice Because my lower crease is long, even an inframammary incision won’t show much If I don’t want it, armpit incision is okay too I don’t have a pigeon chest, but my upper body is very thin so the smooth type is not recommended If I don’t want Motiva, Mentor X is the right fit Because the lower crease is rather long, it’s a chest that should come out well I went wearing a halter-neck tank top and tried clothes on over it, and I worried the clothes length would end up too short, but it was just right (Only crop tops exist for clothes lol)
I had researched breasts for so long that I had already decided on my own that I wanted armpit incision and dual-plane, and the surgeon basically just ended with, “it will turn out well,”,,,, We talked about promotional videos, cases where surgery wouldn’t come out well, and random small talk,, Somehow he stayed and hung out with me for maybe 20 or 30 minutes haha
No pressure for a reservation deposit, I didn’t put one down Price stayed the same (I didn’t even ask for a discount) Personally, I really liked the coordinator’s face
2. ㄴㄴ (Chief surgeon ㅇㅇㅈ) Mentor X Moderate High 350 (or 375), 330 / Mentor X Moderate Plus 350, 295 (or 325) Open it during surgery and if the difference is large, go with two sizes, if the difference is small, go with one size Dual-plane Armpit incision Dermabond, no stitch removal Side breast tissue removal would make it prettier, my choice CCTV viewing available No Caps in aftercare, just packs and swelling laser Scar laser 3 sessions If it’s difficult, come in only at the one-month mark
I had designated Chief surgeon ㅎㄷㅇ, but the coordinator said he mostly only films YouTube and other surgeons do more of the surgeries, so she changed it and recommended someone else,, I was curious because I had never seen a slim Mentor X body and the coordinator let me feel it It matched the feeling I wanted
She explained that if it goes up to 375, the breast on the heart side might shift slightly outward (So the surgeon said 350.310 / 350.330, but let’s set the standard around 350) My skin is thin, so the smooth type is not recommended It’s not like I have no tissue, but I need to fill the upper breast, so I need an implant with a 100% fill rate Don’t worry It’ll be a chest that comes out well with a naturally slightly drooped shape They told me to gain weight and come back at over 50 kg for surgery To get that price, I need to put down a refundable deposit; after that the price is fixed I asked for a discount, but not even 10,000 won off,,
3. ㄷㅇㅇ (Chief surgeon ㄱㅎㄱ) Had a consultation two years ago, then canceled afterward (different surgeon) Mentor X Moderate High 350, 330 / 375, 350 Armpit incision Dual-plane Side breast tissue removal Dermabond, no stitch removal Cannot view CCTV Because it’s impossible to get consent from every person who appears, if you want they’ll directly record the first ten minutes of video for you Unlimited post-op swelling laser and scar laser and so on Caps up to 5 sessions (There was a plan for 3 days, 7 days, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, up to 3 months too If unnecessary, you still must come in at 1 week, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks) Support bra for 3 months
I said I didn’t like Motiva because it was too firm, and they said people with naturally large breasts usually feel a slight firmness when touched They said it’s a matter of preference, so go with Mentor X Told me to visit because my friends had surgery and why don’t I come in At first they recommended 330, 350, but after trying the implants they said if I go a little bigger it would suit me too, so the final recommendation was 350, 375 While looking at the main photo spreads in the brochure in the consultation room, I pointed out that some were things I had done, but these ones were a bit off, and these ones were really well done, and those were exactly the breasts I wanted They said that shape is something you’re born with, and there are limits even with surgical skill or technique, and it’s not something you can just choose if you want it, but that I would come out exactly like that It doesn’t matter whether it’s armpit incision or inframammary incision But my skin seems to stain easily, so they recommended armpit incision (which is actually true) I have slightly inverted nipples, but not to the point where surgery is needed There was pigmentation on the nipples, so they gave whitening injections during surgery Since I often wear tank tops, they said to do side breast tissue removal They showed virtual surgery simulation (I was thinking inwardly that it looked worse than I expected because it seemed to spread outward, but in the settings they adjusted the apex? of the breast shape and told me the nipples wouldn’t come out like that, saying it would feel like they were facing forward) After they brought my breasts together and looked at them, they said they already come together in a straight line from the center and I’d be extremely satisfied if I do it Right now my breasts are large in structure, just lacking volume It’s not a pigeon chest, it’s just that my upper body is thin It’s not that the lower breast is low; the breast and nipple position are exactly pretty, and because the upper breast stretches well, the breast fat is lower down They analyzed my body,,, other places didn’t go into this much detail so I thought maybe I should go to someone this confident They were sure it would come out pretty and well, and told the coordinator that if I provided face-hidden before/after model photos? or content? and I was interested, I should definitely do it and get a discount The coordinator went back and forth twice to get the quote confirmed They told me not to reveal the final price absolutely, but that was still the most expensive one It was even more than the price I got from the consultation two years ago for Motiva,,,, I should have done it then If I lock in a date this month, that’s the price Next month it’s +50 After that it’s around +150 I didn’t put down a deposit because the CCTV issue bothered me
Prices: ㅇㅇㄷ = ㄴㄴ < ㄷㅇㅇ (difference is about 200) ㅇㅇㄷ said if the price ends up being the issue in the final decision, contact them again and they’ll get confirmation and see if they can adjust it
There aren’t many reviews for ㅇㅇㄷ and ㄴㄴ, and honestly in terms of number of surgeries ㄷㅇㅇ seems way ahead Even though it shouldn’t be the deciding factor, if I ever have revision surgery, Chief surgeon ㄱㅎㄱ’s shape is exactly my taste so I feel like I’d go there again for the revision too The consultation itself made me lean that way because they considered various aesthetic aspects that other places didn’t mention (For reference, if it’s just dissatisfaction with the shape rather than a functional issue or a problem with my body, I think it can never be solved at the same hospital. For revision, it has to be a different hospital.)
Ugh, I originally ran around a lot starting from September last year to do revision nose surgery, but I’ve completely lost interest in my nose now Lately I heard Mentor X came out and breast prices were lowered again, so I went for consultations thinking I’d use that money for breasts while I have time off Oh right, after-sales care is all one year If a problem happens after that, there’s a surgery fee excluding the implant cost
After having several surgeries, I realized that if the surgery goes well and I like the shape in the beginning, I don’t need aftercare at all Scar laser ends up being too annoying to go for anyway Swelling laser, swelling injections, things like that - time is the answer They don’t make swelling go down dramatically faster either,, So unlike other people here, aftercare is not a factor in my decision at all
The Caps thing did tempt me a bit because I also heard it helps skin elasticity loosen faster But I’m already looking at recovery as more than a year anyway And until next year I’ll be unemployed and stuck at home, so there won’t be anyone seeing or touching my breasts I thought whether it loosens a day or two earlier wouldn’t change anything, so I asked for a lower price if I didn’t take aftercare But it was the same,,^^
In reality, my friends too - the ones who turned out well a few years ago even went to a local plastic surgery clinic near home and paid to get their stitches removed, and they asked about BoB over the phone and stopped, but their shape is still pretty,, And I’m the type who definitely won’t go every week
After going around for consultations, I’ve already spent way too much on cosmetic surgery, so I keep wondering if it’s really right to burn another 700-900,,,,,,,,, I’m unemployed, so is this too much of a luxury? But then again if I’m going to do it anyway, maybe I should just do it sooner,,,,, I wanted a soft feel and wanted Mentor X, but is that really impossible, sob If it were Mentor X pricing, I would have calculated and booked it right away,,,,,
I’ve also gone all-in searching for reviews like crazy, so now I can tell whether a hospital matches just by looking at the shape, and there are lots of photos of good results on slim bodies at ㄱㄹ (animal), so that makes me want to go there more
Where else should I go,,,,,? Should I just go to ㄷㅇㅇ,,? Would they match the price again?,,,,
A hundred-ish difference means if I do revision surgery I’ll end up losing over a thousand, so I keep thinking maybe a couple hundred isn’t a big deal, but then again it’s the chest that’s going to turn out well, so maybe I should go rationally I don’t even know what I want anymore
I do not recommend ㅇㅇㅇ or ㅅㅇㅇ I have no intention of going, and the review pattern is the same and there are too many, so it’s not drawing me in any more
