Before<surgery before>Before<surgery after>This is my 3-week review of Mentor Smooth breast implants!
I had surgery with Dr. Song Jae-yong at Girin Plastic Surgery! Since I exercise and also compete as an athlete, I had a subfascial breast pocket, wanted a full C to D size with a 12 breast room, and had 375 cc placed on both sides!
On the day of breast surgery, I only had real pain on the way to the recovery room, and as the anesthesia wore off, I slept for a bit and woke up. The doctor helped me, but because I had an athletic body, I could get up using momentum haha. Also, I’m allergic to cephalosporin antibiotics, so I couldn’t go home with the pain-control injection inserted.. It contained the same antibiotic class, so in the end I went home with nothing, but I think facial surgery was more uncomfortable for me. There wasn’t much actual pain; it was more like something new was there and felt heavy, and sometimes a tingling? Like that electric-shock hand game or leg numbness, and I think I’ve kept feeling symptoms like that even up to now! Other than that, I don’t really know about pain like “I feel like I’m dying” or “a truck ran me over.” But if it felt even a little heavy, my chest area hurt,, Rather than pain, it felt more like being startled..?! I rested Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, and went back to work after that! I just kept things cool so it wouldn’t be too hot, drank 2 boxes, 60 packs, of pumpkin juice, and ate porridge until 3 days after surgery, then regular food after that! They said they would give scar ointment in week 2, but after one week, when I had the stitches removed and received care before going home, I bought Scarscare Gel at the pharmacy and applied it every morning and evening! Now I bought a compression bra and am wearing 75D! It feels a bit like my chest circumference is being squeezed, so I think buying 80 would have been okay too! Rather than the compression bra, I think I mostly wear the upper band and put on nipple patches, or only wear the upper band when sleeping! I actually like the upper fullness haha. My hands do tend to go up there every day, but after having it done, there are movements where my shoulders round forward a lot, so I keep correcting my posture often. They said I need to rest from exercise for 2 months, so my body is itching to move,,, Maybe it’s an occupational habit, but I feel like I’m gradually getting bigger, so I actually want to exercise haha. I’ll be back with a review after one month!!! If you want to do it, book a consultation with the hospital right away haha. I recommend it!
