Hello, I’ll write my truly vivid surgery review. Before breast surgery, I looked things up online, and most people who had surgery said they didn’t have pain and that it was manageable. I thought, how different could it be depending on constitution, and had the surgery confidently but I seriously wanted to die. I had breast surgery with round textured 300 cc implants on June 4. I’m 171 cm and 55 kg, and my chest wasn’t severely flat, but I wanted the shape and size to become prettier and bigger, so I had surgery suddenly over the past few months I had this impulse to get breast surgery.. On the 3rd, I went to a hospital in Apgujeong for a consultation, scheduled surgery for 10 the next day, had a few tests, and came home. On the day of surgery, I went to the hospital fasting without even drinking water, designed the plan with the doctor, and because I was fasting, they said I needed to get something, so in the small recovery room next to the operating room, I got an IV, then went into the operating room. They tied my arms... into the IV I was receiving, they injected the anesthetic, and the anesthesiologist said, “It may feel a little stiff~” and I could clearly feel the anesthetic entering through my arm. It felt so strange. Like a sudden rush. Then they started waking me up, maybe the surgery was over. The doctor said, “Patient, move to the bed next to you. Patient, get up and lie down on the bed next to you.” They kept saying that, so I was really groggy, my mind coming and going, and I moved to the bed, went to the recovery room, and I think I woke up from anesthesia while trembling so hard. My body was literally shaking like a leaf.. They told me to breathe through my mouth, so I kept breathing through my mouth because I felt like I’d die if I didn’t. Having to lie in the same position the whole time was so painful, and I wondered why I had done this. I went into surgery almost at 12, it ended around 1, I had been asleep, and when I woke up from anesthesia it was maybe 6. And it hurt so, so, so much that I wondered whether I could even be discharged the same day, whether the surgery had gone wrong. Other people clearly said it was almost all tolerable, so why was only I in this much pain? It really hurt so much. Then around almost 7, I finished the IV, wore the pain-control injection on the bandage, and the nurse helped me get up. When she helped me walk to the bathroom, I felt like I was going to throw up. I was so dizzy. When I looked in the bathroom mirror, my face had turned yellow and there was really no color at all.. I think I stayed in the bathroom for about 20 minutes too. My legs cramped, so I couldn’t even stand Then I got up, they changed the drain once, and I was discharged. I’m really glad I went with my mom. If I’d gone alone, I would have had to pick up the medicine alone too. Then I took a taxi home, and how could it hurt that much? When turning curves and going over speed bumps, seriously I can’t describe it. I kept going “ah, ah, ah,” and my voice barely came out. Then I came home and kept groaning. They told me to eat porridge and take medicine, so I ate porridge, but the bandage was tightened so hard that it felt like the porridge was staying in my throat,, I ate about three or four spoonfuls, then just drank water and took the medicine 30 minutes later. The first day of surgery really hurts so much. I even wondered if I had chosen the wrong hospital How could this kind of pain be given to me, I thought When lying down, my younger sibling had to hold me and lay me down, and when I said help me get up, they held me and lifted me up. I absolutely couldn’t do it alone. When sleeping, I folded and stacked two blankets, made a slope with pillows, and slept leaning against it, but my butt;;;;;;;;;;;; my butt lost sensation. My breasts hurt too, so I woke up again and shouted, Mom!!!!!! Help me up. What did my mom do to deserve this? I’m really going to be a filial daughter. That pulling sensation in the breasts when going from lying down to sitting up can’t be described. It felt like all the blood was rushing into my chest? Nighttime was really the most painful, and I suffered the most. It hurt so much and I was sleepy, but I couldn’t even sleep.. On day 2 after surgery, I held my painful chest and, whether the drain was visible or not, whether people stared or not, without washing my hair or my face, just brushing my teeth, I took a taxi and went to the hospital again. The left side was swollen, so they told me to keep the drain in for 2 more days. It was like a bolt from the blue ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ Because the 6th was Memorial Day, a holiday.. Day 2 was also painful, though not as much as the day of surgery. At dawn, there’s no need to even say how painful it was.. On day 3, having the drain attached was so hard. It seemed like they had cut next to the breast and connected a tube inside, and since that area was wrapped with a compression bandage, it was itchy, stuffy, and stinging.. Eventually, at dawn, I woke up again because it hurt so much and was uncomfortable. I was watching TV, but something felt strange, so I went to the bathroom and looked, and I was bleeding I almost cried.. I was already in so much pain And then I told my mom “Mom... I’m bleeding...” The moment I said that, my mom woke up from sleep again, fixed the tube again and wrapped the bandage for me. Then while watching TV, my lower back, shoulders, back, and nape hurt so much that I got positioned again and slept. I really hated the pain and was afraid even something small would go wrong, so I took my medicine very diligently. I took it on time too. Still, the pain can’t be helped. It just doesn’t hurt even more than that And this morning, day 4, I woke up, held my stiff breasts, and went to the hospital again. They said the swelling had gone down a lot, the shape had settled nicely, and now I just needed to recover well. When they removed the drains, they grabbed the tubes on both sides and pulled them out in one long pull~~~~~~~~~~~~ and the feeling was really;;; really ugh, so strange, even thinking about it now. Then they stitched one stitch on each side, and that level of pain was nothing.. after what I had endured... for 3 days.. Anyway, after removing the drains, I wore a sports bra and put on a bandage to fix them in place, and it was really so comfortable.. My breasts still pull, and there is still some stiffness, but still, I’m relieved that I’m getting better day by day. I really thought I wouldn’t recover. Breast augmentation really was not an easy surgery. I’m the one who underestimated it and got badly burned. I’ll remove the stitches a little later and upload photos!!
