This is a detailed review 2 and a half weeks after breast augmentation with Mentor Smooth. Height 166, rib cage 80, breast base 12.5 Mentor Smooth left 350, right 375 Dual plane, transaxillary incision I’m from out of town and only did online research, then had a same-day consultation, surgery booking, and required pre-op tests. I’m a completely natural person who hasn’t even had the common double eyelid surgery (natural beauty x, natural person o), so I hadn’t thought deeply about surgery, but I suddenly got hooked on the idea and ended up doing everything within 2 weeks. This is that dazed review. Because I’m busy with work even on weekends and live outside Seoul, I planned to decide everything on my own before going up for the consultation and just make the booking, so I searched through all kinds of reviews + blogs + YouTube + apps + word of mouth and so on! In conclusion, there was a dedicated breast specialist director at a reasonable price, so I decided on Girin without much hesitation. Once I already liked it, reviews of other hospitals didn’t really catch my eye. The previous surgery process is in my earlier review! From immediately after surgery until days 3-4, they weren’t like breasts but more like pectoralis-major-shaped loaves of bread. My original breast shape had upper breasts spread very widely along my broad, squared shoulder line, and the lower breasts were pointed, so the initial loaf shape was very much within the range I expected and had zero impact on me! Many reviews said the shape comes out to some extent according to the original breasts, so they settled into the shape I had imagined, and I’m very, very satisfied. As time goes by, the upper fullness is visibly coming down, and the middle breast area I wanted to fill is settling in beautifully and roundly. My skin stretches well and I had some flesh, so I expected a fairly quick recovery. The scars are interesting: the left side hurt more, but the left side is much cleaner. I wonder if the right side has pigmentation. When I lower my head and look directly with my eyes, there’s only a faint scab and it looks the same as the left, but when I look through the mirror it looks dark, so I’m having this strange?? experience. It looks light when I look directly, but dark in the mirror. It’s not time to talk about scars yet, so I’m just forgetting about it without thinking much. At first, both scars were raised, but after a week they flattened on their own. I think the scars are also recovering well. Actually, since this was my first surgery, I didn’t look closely at asymmetry or the wound area and check every little thing, so that may be why my satisfaction is higher. My original breasts were also asymmetrical, but I didn’t care much, and I didn’t expect major correction through surgery..! I also thought that if they were perfectly identical, that would look more unnatural. Pain + swelling + bruising depend on the surgeon’s skill, and since it’s a major surgery, I went in giving up the desire for zero pain, but I think I was lucky and won the no-pain draw I still feel stiffness and soreness depending on movement, but compared with people who are in a lot of pain, I’m doing very well. I had no bruising at all from the beginning. They were just white and milky loaves of bread. As time passed, when viewed from the side, the thick upper fullness came down, and from the front, the horizontal size widened and the flat breasts became more three-dimensional. I think when reviews say they get bigger or smaller after swelling goes down, it’s the difference between how they look from the side and from the front. As for post-op size, the staff member at the underwear store said, “You come out to a D cup,” and then gave me a C bra..? Since I plan to diet anyway, I think if I lose a little weight, they’ll look bigger relative to my frame. Now that 2 weeks have passed, just like all the reviews, there’s no major pain! In my feeling, my shape seems to have become natural quickly. As for the feel, deep inside I can feel the firm implant, but the outside has softened. It had gotten soft from days 3-4, so I worried whether it might be a rupture, but I don’t think that’s the case. Since I have some flesh, I think recovery was fast. The director performed the surgery cleanly and well, so I could focus more on daily life, and I think that helped a lot with fast recovery without stress. You’ll probably feel the most anxious and mentally drained until the 1-month mark, but I hope everyone stays calm and hangs in there. I’ll also be holding out with you until my 1-month mark
