Breast augmentation review at the clinic (1 week)

168 / 62 Rib cage 78 / breast base 13 Motiva Demi 425 / 380 Subfascial / inframammary incision / hybrid / fat grafting (love handles) / accessory breast removal Sagging and asymmetry in breasts that were already small due to childbirth and breastfeeding It took exactly one month from starting my search and consultations to making the final decision The reason I chose the hospital was that during the consultation with the director, I definitely felt that he cared about the patient, and the consultant was kind and all the staff were friendly And I thought that if I did the hybrid method, I could shape not only my breasts but also my body line (They did say that since it was a small-volume fat graft, it would be difficult to expect a dramatic change in my body line) Lastly, I saw a celebrity around my age (who it was is a secret) The consultant said this clinic gets many patients through referrals rather than reviews, and it felt like it was also well-known among celebrities, so I was drawn to it even more <Day of surgery> My surgery was scheduled for 12, so I fasted for 8 hours including water from 4 a.m. I was worried I might be thirsty in the morning, so when I woke up at dawn I drank a little water, and then I kept waking up to go to the bathroom and slept badly At 9, I had a checkup at an internal medicine clinic near the hospital, and while waiting for the results I had my final pre-op consultation and confirmed the size The surgery started, and with general anesthesia, they began putting the anesthetic into my arm; I fell asleep before counting to five, and when I woke up the surgery was over I had signs of a cold, and after general anesthesia my voice was completely gone and hoarse Aside from some stiffness and discomfort, I was not in much pain, so I wondered, is this what pain-free means? After surgery, I ate the water and pumpkin porridge the hospital gave me, and it was so good I wondered if I should rest in the hospital room for a while, but after going to the bathroom while slightly staggering and changing clothes, my condition got better I left the hospital, ran an errand by myself, and went home When I got home and weighed myself, I had gained 3 kg from swelling My condition was better than I expected, and after getting home I wiped my upper body with a sports bath towel and quickly showered my lower body Maybe because of the medicine or the pain-free treatment? Rather than hurting, I felt very tight and short of breath because of the bands and taping on my chest and abdomen I had slept badly the previous night too, and I still had anesthesia in my system, so I passed out as soon as I got home They said I could sleep lying down, but it was hard to sleep flat on my back, so I kept falling asleep and waking up while leaning against the bed <Day 1> The morning after surgery, I had been told that it could hurt a lot once the previous day’s medication wore off, so when I woke up at dawn I took one Taksen and went back to sleep; maybe because of that, it did not hurt much in the morning I visited the hospital, had my progress checked, and received regenerative laser treatment and hyperbaric oxygen therapy After the care session, I ate bibim makguksu nearby It probably did not help the swelling, but it was so hot and I was hungry, so I enjoyed it Since I took my prescribed medication and Taksen on time, my condition was good I could wash my hair and do all daily activities <Day 2> The swelling did not go down I visited the hospital, finally removed the compression band and taping, and faced my newly born breasts Because the weather was hot, the heat rash around the area was no joke.. My breasts were more swollen and larger than I expectedㅠ I was surprised and it felt awkward, but I felt good After removing the taping, the director checked and said there were no problems I asked questions I had, learned stretches from the nurse, received care, and learned how to wear the compression garment and upper band They said I could wear the upper band over a T-shirt They explained that while wearing the compression garment, I should buy a sports bra? in preparation for washing it and alternate between them <Day 3> The swelling was still the same I have to wear the upper band on top of the compression garment, so it feels so tight They said the swelling would go down in a month if I lightly walk for 30 minutes every day and eat a little less than usual Because I had fat grafting, they said short-term dieting was forbidden, so I got anxious and ate well, and maybe that is why the swelling still has not gone down I was advised to start dieting after 2 months Until then, I’m planning to live comfortably I was going to stay home, but I had plans and also wanted to take a walk, so I went outside, and it was not too much at all Sometimes I had a tingling feeling like breast milk letdown, but it is on a completely different level from surgical pain If the tingling feeling of milk letdown is 70, this is about 10? The tightness from the upper band feels like walking around for hours wearing a baby carrier, and since I ate a lot, my digestion was not good, which felt similar to being full-term pregnant Before surgery, I only thought about breast pain and did not think about pain from fat grafting, but there is some pain around the abdomen near the love handles, the fat-grafted breast areas, and the accessory breast areas I’m scheduled to visit in a week to have the stitches removed, and then I can take a full-body shower Now I’m comfortable even lying flat on my back (this seems to be because of the meds No matter how pain-free it is, there are wounds, so it cannot not hurt at all) On the day of surgery I bought only one box of Taksen and finished it, and today I bought two more boxes <1 week> The 3 kg of swelling went away on its own I visited the hospital for stitch removal and care. While I was lying down, the director came in, checked, and said there were no problems When I asked the nurse whether stitch removal hurts, she said it stings very slightly and ends the moment you think, ‘Huh?’ haha She said to tell her if it seemed like it would hurt because the thread was deep, but unlike my worries, it did not hurt even 1% The nurse explained everything gently and well, and I felt comfortable At the first consultation, the director said that for one month the mammary glands would be swollen and it would feel like my breasts were full of milk, and I can definitely feel that starting now Since the weather is hot, I got heat rash toward the cleavage area along the compression garment line Among the areas where I got injections for fat grafting, a few spots have swollen up severely and hurt even if I touch them only slightly When visiting the hospital after surgery, it is good to organize your questions in advance before meeting the director Even if you ask the staff, they all answer kindly, but for things you want to hear directly from the director, it seems best to ask right away The time meeting the director is shorter than expected, so there are times when it ends before you can ask everything you were curious about This is a long review, but I wrote it in detail so I could remember it. I hope it helps those who read it!
