Distance between the hospital where I had surgery (Apgujeong Rodeo) and my home (Nowon-gu): took a total of 30-40 minutes with one subway transfer On the way there on surgery day: used the subway On the way back on surgery day: used a taxi -MD offers one free day of hospitalization, but since it was also in Seoul and I wanted to rest comfortably at home, I didn’t stay hospitalized -I told the driver I’d had surgery around my abdomen and asked him to drive as carefully as possible.. -Opening the taxi door wasn’t difficult, but rather, after getting in, when I tried to pull the door shut with all my strength? That was when it pulled a bit I used Motiva implants, 320 on the left and 340 on the right. As I wrote in the title, I had a transaxillary incision, and after getting home, I lightly ignored the ㅋㅍ delivery sitting at my door^^ partly because I thought the packaging would be hard to open, and because I just wanted to lie down quickly On the day itself, I didn’t have much appetite (anesthesia effects + scratchy throat), so I just ate strawberries and hallabong mandarins that I had cut up in advance to make them easy to eat, and called it a day. Honestly, since I live alone, I had wondered whether I should ask a friend to help me for even 1-2 days.. but on the day of surgery, I regretted not doing that a bit Even though I paid for it myself, I suddenly felt like I had spent money on something that just made my body suffer.. a bit of a reality check But that feeling disappears once the bandage comes off.. When I had the bandage on, it felt suffocating and I couldn’t shower, so I just felt gross.. tired.. that was all I could think (I rested fully at home for 3 days after surgery). But on the day I went for a progress check and got the bandage removed, I could clearly see the change with my own eyes, so I was like, wow!!! I’m glad I did it. It really made me realize again how weak humans are to what they can see.. Even accounting for swelling, the breast shape was so pretty, and even though different sizes were inserted, I understood what people mean when they say both sides match in size A few days later, I diligently received aftercare like thermal radiofrequency and infrared treatment, and it wasn’t something that ends after just a few weeks? They told me next I’ll get Meso Soft~ next I’ll get CAPS~ and from then on, I started thinking I was glad I had surgery at a breast-specialized clinic. I heard some places just do CAPS and that’s it, but it was nice that I could receive a substantial range of aftercare, including types I hadn’t known about during my research Also, I’d seen a lot of people say that if you do a transaxillary incision, recovering alone is really sooo hard.. ask people around you for help, things like that. Hmm.. it would be a lie to say I was totally fine, but at least if you prepare food for yourself in advance before surgery + slightly loosen bottle caps in advance + set up a triangular cushion or high pillows on the bed in advance.. with that much preparation, I think it’s okay? In reality, after 2-3 days, I was living fine by myself.. I had wondered, am I the only one recovering this fast? But seeing that some other reviews say transaxillary was actually better for them too, I guess it depends on the case..! I’m now over one month post-op, and although I’m still far from fully recovered~ for now, I don’t separately have to wear anything constricting like a surgical bra, and I can go outside with just nipple patches, so I don’t think daily life is especially difficult! If you live alone and are debating transaxillary vs inframammary incision? I recommend first getting advice through a consultation with an experienced director!
