It may sound negative from the introduction, but if you are thinking about breast surgery just because you want to look pretty, I hope you will think about it a little more seriously. I am now one month post-op, and while I am satisfied with the surgery itself, there is more management involved than I expected, and at first there were moments when I even wondered if I had really made the right choice, so I really hope people with a weak mental state think carefully and make up their mind before going through with it!! There seem to be only reviews saying it is great and makes them happy.. so I thought it might help, so I am writing my honest feelings.
First, I had Motiva 300cc implants, and I could choose between an underarm incision and an inframammary incision. I was worried about the recovery period, and my underarm skin is white and smooth without wrinkles, so I chose the inframammary incision. Anyway, once the implant is in and the breasts settle downward, unless you lift them up, it is not visible, they said. But with an underarm incision, if you raise your arms in a 만세 pose, it will show for a while, and in my case it seemed like it would be even more noticeable, so I chose the inframammary line.
I did not visit many hospitals. In fact, the more places I went to, the more confused and worried I thought I would get, so I only visited the minimum number based on the route, the reviews I liked, and other factors. I had the surgery at Glam, and I do not regret the hospital choice itself and I am fairly satisfied?? The operating room was really clean, and all the staff had been there a long time, so they took great care of me, and above all, the aftercare was really well organized, which made me feel reassured. The shape was also more natural than I expected!
But apart from that, at the beginning after surgery I did not feel super excited, happy, or strongly satisfied as much as I thought I would Apart from the surgical part, once I got on and off the operating table and looked in the mirror, I thought I would finally feel happy and proud that I had breasts, but instead I felt a lot of disappointment, and I even wondered why I had gotten breast surgery~~ For about a week after surgery, honestly, I did not even feel it was real, and the bloating in my abdomen shocked me I could not shower properly or roll over and sleep however I wanted, so I got irritated with myself a bit But as each day passed, the swelling went down, I got used to it, and my body adjusted.. and then I started to really feel?? realize?? the changes in my body (I think the abdominal swelling had a big effect.. I was seriously shocked..)
My figure looked much better and my clothes fit really beautifully, so shopping and trying on clothes became fun too. When I wore off-shoulder tops or tank tops, the slight, almost visible cleavage was my dream, and as I gradually got closer to that, I started feeling really satisfied and my self-esteem went up a lot too! It felt like, yes, I did this surgery for this kind of fun~ and once I was close to one month post-op, I could start stretching and doing light weights, so I even started buying workout clothes, and they suited me so well, like I really looked fit
As that happened, I moved away from the disappointment I had felt before and was finally able to enjoy it fully.. Now I really like it, and the texture is not soft yet, but I think it will gradually get better, so I am not worrying about it much! It will loosen up naturally, I guess All I can do in the meantime is keep going to the hospital for checkups, keep taking my anti-capsular contracture medication, and avoid overdoing upper-body movements. Right now I have no stress, and I am looking forward to what comes next.
But in any case, unlike in dramas or movies, there is no magical ta-da! happy? transformation, so everyone who is thinking about surgery or about to have surgery should think seriously, prepare themselves properly, and hold on to their mental state tightly! If you keep dwelling on bad thoughts, all you get is more stress and it turns into even more negative thinking, so it would be good to also take care of your post-surgery mindset and do proper mental management!!
I have written a lot, so since I think I said everything I wanted to say, I will wrap up the review here. I hope everyone gets through surgery safely and spends happy days~ I hope many of you get beautiful breast results this winter! I am cheering for you
