Before/after before/after It’s been almost 4 weeks since I had surgery with Mentor implants! I have nothing to do right now, so I’m going to write a bit of a review lol
Why I chose the clinic -I’ve always liked glamorous features and a glamorous vibe All the clothes and accessories I own are sparkly too lol At first, I found out about this clinic because of noses, and I applied for a consultation because I wanted nose surgery, but once I found out they also do breasts, I suddenly switched lines to breasts;; I wanted breast surgery more
-The consultant was kind, and I felt comfortable with her, like a neighborhood friend or older sister The director was also super cool and easygoing, but he spoke seriously about breast surgery I also asked a few things about nose surgery while I was at it, and he answered everything without showing even a bit of annoyance
-But I didn’t book right away When I got home that day, I talked to my friend on the phone and told her I’d been to a consultation My friend is kind of a plastic surgery expert (she’s done eyes, nose, and forehead fat grafting haha) She emphasized that if I’m getting breasts done, I should avoid factory-style places and go somewhere where communication with the director is good
-When I thought about it, the clinic I’d consulted at fit the conditions my friend mentioned;; So since I’m the action-oriented type, I requested another consultation at the clinic, saw the director one more time, and completed the booking lol
Surgery day -I got 350 cc Mentor implants through the inframammary fold Since I had plans to get nose surgery once I recovered, I ruled out Motiva because it was too expensive
-To be honest, before surgery I was only looking forward to having bigger breasts, and I was most scared of the pain, but I toddled around by myself, transferred from the subway twice and once to a bus, and got home more fine than I expected
-But I think on the day of surgery, it was just okay because of the anesthesia, and I struggled a bit the next day because the pain came rushing in;; Even turning my body slightly made it feel kind of sharp and numb
-The pain gradually got better From around week 1, only the heaviness of my bigger breasts felt different, and I didn’t think, “It hurts,” while clutching my chest because of pain
-Then meanwhile... I wondered, is there a lot of swelling? The director said: it’s because it’s still week 2, and it will gradually go down He said it differs by person, but even by one month it would be noticeable The abdominal swelling I had in the beginning has almost gone down now too, so I’m going to trust the director and wait
Thoughts at week 4: As they say, it hasn’t been that long yet, so I can’t say I’m completely satisfied!! But for now, because my breasts are bigger than before + the pain has decreased, I feel like I’m glad I had the surgery And when choosing a clinic, I really understood what my friend meant when she said to avoid large hospitals.. If I book in advance and go, I can see the director without a long wait, and it was convenient because I could ask the consultant anything I was curious about right away through KakaoTalk I think I’m more satisfied with the clinic itself after surgery
