I went to ㄷㅅㅎ, ㅇㅇ, and ㄱㄹ, and in case anyone here is interested and needs clinic-visit info, I’m writing this partly to get points and partly to organize my thoughts! I’m writing down what I remember, so some details may be missing please keep that in mind!!
I went to ㄷㅅㅎ first, and from the initial phone call they said their consultations tend to take a long time and told me to leave plenty of time between appointments. So I said I had set aside 2 hours and asked if that would be enough, and they said it might not be.. But I couldn’t move the time, so I said I’d just go for now and went. But it didn’t take as long as I expected It was a place where virtual simulation was possible, and it wasn’t that crowded. The director had a very kind style, and explained things calmly and clearly. The atmosphere made it easy to ask whatever I was curious about? But the consultant kept talking as if she wanted me to book on the day, saying discount, discount, write a review and get more discount, so that felt a bit burdensome. Other than that, I think it was fine.
For ㅇㅇ, I had a consultation specifically with the head director. I knew they only do axillary incisions and got the consultation, and I remember strongly feeling the director’s pride in the transaxillary approach.. Oh, and they did an ultrasound during the consultation here. They also explained the breast structure. The director was kind and spoke well. The consultant felt a bit like AI; she wasn’t unfriendly, but rather than seeming knowledgeable or professional about breasts, it felt like she was just reading through the explanations she had to give, so it didn’t make a strong impression. There was no pressure or coercion to book.
ㄱㄹ is a breast surgery clinic with one director, and their system is that the consultant takes care of everything from entry to exit. There were tons of compliments about the consultant in the reviews, and I could see why. First of all, she was very gentle, warm, and the type to worry a lot for you. She told me what would be good to do for my current breasts, what I shouldn’t do, and then if I get breast surgery~~ there are difficult things like this, etc. She basically gave a full lecture like a mom warning her child in advance about the things that happen and the things they might go through at school when sending them off to school. I liked that she told me everything, including pros, cons, and side effects, without holding back. The director just coolly gave the diagnosis and that was it. Since I already knew that going in, I just thought, okay, I see. It was shorter than I expected, though.. There was no recommendation to book. If anything, they told me to look around at more places and come back They told me to go to lots of consultations.
Diagnosis Axillary incision – ㅇㅇ Inframammary incision – ㄱㄹ Both axillary/inframammary possible – ㄷㅅㅎ
Implants Motiva – ㅇㅇ, ㄱㄹ Motiva, Sebbin – ㄷㅅㅎ (but they did recommend Motiva more)
Surgical method Dual plane – ㅇㅇ, ㄱㄹ, ㄷㅅㅎ
Aftercare Unlimited – ㅇㅇ, ㄱㄹ For ㄷㅅㅎ, I think they said scar care costs extra. But the consultant said if I tell her separately, she’ll do it for free Anyway, it wasn’t unlimited.
CCTV ㄱㄹ, ㅇㅇ, ㄷㅅㅎ all three allow viewing
Um.. what else should I write? First, based on my standards, the consultations I was satisfied with were like this:
Director ㄷㅅㅎ>>ㅇㅇ>>>ㄱㄹ
Consultant ㄱㄹ>>>>>ㅇㅇ>>ㄷㅅㅎ
Hospital system ㄱㄹ>>>ㅇㅇ>>>ㄷㅅㅎ
That was the feeling, but honestly, this is just comparing the three places. Rather than really feeling, I absolutely have to do it somewhere, I started thinking a lot about whether getting the surgery itself is really the right thing to do. So, since it’s true that I looked into hospitals because I wanted to get surgery.. I’ve made consultation appointments at two more places and plan to decide after visiting them.
Once I’ve gone around to those too, I feel like my mind may be somewhat settled by then. After I go to the additional consultations, I’ll write another review! Let’s all hang in there
