Finally, my breast augmentation surgery review (day of surgery to day 7)

Finally, I’m writing my own breast surgery review!!! As of day 10, I’m very, very satisfied so far.[Before surgery – implant & clinic choice]Honestly, I had both a vague aversion to breast surgery and a longing for full breasts that weren’t sagging.These two feelings coexisted for several years. I had been doing weight training for over 3 years to relieve the anger that built up at work, soI lost fat and gained lots of muscle… My upper body gradually became an even leaner, muscular type.(My body information)> Height 160 / weight fluctuates between 50–55 kg> Small rib cage, short upper body and long lower body, square shoulders> Breasts were a small A cupAfter years of only thinking about it, one day, as if possessed, I booked 3 consultations in a single day.I went to three large clinics… and honestly, I was a bit disappointed. Even though I emphasized naturalness,the sizes recommended to me were all on the heavy and large side (around 380 cc), and I barely felt like they were explaining things with my body type in mind.Still, I got a rough standard, and because I thought, “For this, studying comes before legwork,” I started gathering information again from scratch.I thought that if someone with a short upper body and only broad shoulders had watermelon-like breasts attached, it would be a minus both aesthetically and in daily life, soI boldly excluded anything over 300 cc.[Implant choice – why I decided on Motiva]At first, I considered Mentor Xtra because of the cost,but the more I looked into it, the more Motiva’s advantages stood out to me.The advantages of Motiva that I felt are as follows.1. The shell surface has a microtextured structure, so it feels more stable compared with Mentor2. The size spectrum is broad, so customized selection for body type is possible3. It can be inserted even with a short incision (of course, the surgeon’s skill is important)4. The chip version allows tracking and management5. It is a relatively newer implantAfter deciding on Motiva, this time I went for consultations mainly at breast-specialty clinics and clinics run by a single director. [Reasons I chose the clinic]In conclusion, there are five reasons I chose my current clinic1. They accurately understood my need for naturalness as the top priority  * Recommended Motiva Mini  * Explained why other sizes would be excessive based on simulation2. A breast-specialty clinic  * Many cases, and a well-organized aftercare system3. They suggested first the surgical method I had ideally had in mind  * Subfascial / inframammary fold incision / minimal 2–3 cm incision4. The atmosphere of the director & staff  * A very subjective standard where I think clinic atmosphere = results & aftercare5. I just had a gut feelingOn the spot, I decided right away on “Motiva Mini 245 cc / subfascial / inframammary fold incision”and even completed the booking!!![Day of surgery]I was curious “after counting how many seconds will I fall asleep,” so I counted up to 11 and blacked out, and when I opened my eyes,the director said the surgery went well and gave a pleased smile, so I felt relieved.In reviews, people say it feels like “an elephant is stepping on you,” but I got lucky and had no pain.I stopped by Kyobo Book Centre, looked at some books, took the subway, and went home. (It was possible because I avoided rush hour and it wasn’t crowded.)From that day on, I had rooibos tea + 2 packs of pumpkin juice every day, also struggled through the stretches the clinic taught me, and only felt a little stiff when getting out of bed; otherwise I was fine.[Post-op day 1]Rather than the breasts themselves hurting, I felt an indescribable tightness + pressure somewhere inside the upper torso.I believed the saying “all surgeries hurt more the next day,” took my medication, and it definitely improved. I took the subway to get aftercare,and even looked around Olive Young in Gangnam before coming back. [Post-op day 2]In the morning, I woke up to birdsong feeling refreshed and so completely fine that I was confused..?Is the director gifted, or am I just suited to surgery?I was on annual leave and had planned to rest at home, but in the end I went to a cafe with my laptop, and in the evening I met a friend for dinner.The stretching also went well without stiffness, like an eagle flapping its wings.※ I strictly followed the clinic’s precautions, such as no holding cats and no lifting heavy objects[Post-op day 3]Back to work! I believe no one knew I had surgery.In the afternoon I visited the clinic, had the tape removed, and nipple patches applied.I tried on the old bras I had at home, but it felt like my male cousin who wears 2XL trying on my leggings, so I quietly sent them to the trash can.[After post-op day 7]It felt like most of the major swelling went down by days 4–5, and from day 6 onward, there was almost no pain even when I pressed on my breasts.Because of my schedule, I had the stitches removed and received care on day 8, and from that day the feel changed dramatically.Especially from the sides and lower parts, I could feel softness, so I thought, can recovery really be this fast??I’ll also post a one-month update partly for my own records.
