Patient review of Gimjiyeonwiswi (김지연위쉬) · 2026-06-06

I ended up registering this review because I remembered it while writing a comment. Five years ago I had breast augmentation with Motiva here. It was my first surgery, and I had gone to about three clinics for consultations. Honestly, continuing to shop around was too stressful, and every staff member, including the doctor, was female, so I thought I would feel at ease and decided to go ahead with surgery. But the director consulted me with the attitude of, "As the expert, I know everything and I'll make you beautiful," and she simply decided the size herself, saying that this was the most suitable. What I really want to say is about the day of surgery. Up until the consultation, there had been no mention of a written pledge about reviews, but a few hours before surgery they shoved one in front of me and said the amount I had paid was the review-event price. I think it was around 12 million won, and I even asked again because I thought they might be mixing me up with someone else, but they said that price really was the review-event price. I was already nervous and anxious, so my mood was terrible before surgery. On top of that, they had clearly said they did surgeries twice a day, morning and afternoon, and I was supposed to be the morning case, but even though I arrived very early and waited, they did not start surgery until after 5 p.m. I was already tense, upset about being told I had to write a review, worn out from waiting, and getting more anxious and exhausted. It felt like they had switched my surgery time with an afternoon patient, and without explaining anything to me they just kept taking photos.. doing tests.. placing the line in advance.. and dragging things out so I had to sit in the waiting room for hours and hours (about 7 to 8 hours..?). I went into the operating room after 5 p.m., slept a bit in recovery afterward, and by the time I left it was around 9 or 10 at night.. Most of the staff had already gone home and only two or three were left. After that, I really diligently kept up with treatment. For six months I went exactly as instructed by the hospital, once a week, then once every two weeks, then once a month.. I followed the schedule very faithfully. As for the review, they must not have liked what I wrote, because at first they kept making small edits, and later they just asked me for photos, saying they would upload them themselves. Now, five years later, honestly I regret having the surgery there. I think it would have been prettier if I had made them a little smaller, and more than anything else, the gap between my breasts is too wide, so when I wear a bra that brings them together it's okay, but if I wear nothing or something like a Calvin Klein triangle, my breasts spread too far outward, my ribcage looks bigger, and even if I gain just a little weight my upper body looks bulky. The older male director who had previously consulted me, a former surgeon, recommended a slightly smaller size, and I kept kicking myself at night for a while thinking I should have gone with him. If I had the means, I desperately want a revision, but circumstances don't allow it, which is upsetting. The director and the consultant both wear their capitalist smiles and treat the director like a queen bee, and that attitude felt a bit burdensome to me, while the operating-room nurses were relatively kind and nice, without fake smiles. Surgery is really difficult. It's something you only understand after experiencing it, and the idea that you can find the right doctor just through consultations feels like a tremendous ability and, in some ways, luck. These days I'm looking into nose surgery too, and I'm terrified I'll regret that as well... I've been worrying for 10 years now
