First, in my situation, -no guardian -my home isn't in the provinces, but it's still pretty far from the hospital -I was having surgery without telling my family
These three things were the biggest factors. The clinic where I had surgery had single-person inpatient rooms, and the next day they would check my progress, remove the bandage, and I could be discharged. So I actually thought being hospitalized would be more comfortable. When I asked everyone, they recommended hospitalization, saying the day of surgery is the most painful and difficult, so I applied in advance and had the surgery.
Just as I'd heard, the hospital food was really good. And wow, right after surgery, when I went into the recovery room, at first I thought I was okay, but after a little while it suddenly became insanely hard... My body was just really, really exhausted. It wasn't so much that I was in a lot of pain, but just, wow, I couldn't move, and I wanted to lie down, but the bandage made it uncomfortable, so even lying down wasn't comfortable. Was I like that for about an hour or two? Then I gradually started feeling better.. And there was Netflix in the inpatient room, so while I was watching that, the nurses came in and kept taking care of me and doing things for me. So I think it was really comfortable and nice.
Thinking about having endured that alone at home, I feel like that would have been a really reckless challenge.. I thought a thousand and a hundred times that it was good I listened to everyone here, whew
And I don't think my recovery period took long. It may be because I had an inframammary fold incision, but from day 3 I was walking around at home and doing everything I needed to do.. The manager sent all the precautions through KakaoTalk as image files, telling me what not to do, so I looked at those and just stayed conscious of not using my arms. When washing, I was really careful not to let the Steri-Strip? on the incision area come off. For the first month, I basically had to go almost every week for follow-up and care, and I diligently kept up with those visits.
I didn't do the things they told me not to, like drinking or smoking, and lived like that, so I don't think there were any particular problems. It's a little under a month now, and the swelling went down quickly, and the shape came out prettier than I had worried it would. The feel is also softening more than I expected, so I'm satisfied I'm moisturizing hard so I don't get stretch marks, but somehow my skin feels drier than before surgery?? I think that's there I'm applying body lotion and things like that more often than before.
Other than that, there isn't anything particularly uncomfortable, but when I lie down to sleep, maybe because there's weight now, it feels like the implants are sitting a bit heavily on top of my body. And not being used to it when I run.. Other than that, I think I'm satisfied with everything: how clothes fit, my own satisfaction, the size… I think it was good that I got the surgery before it got any later
Anyway, I'm satisfied with the breast surgery itself, and if anyone here is thinking of having surgery alone like me, if possible, definitely get hospitalized. The staff take care of everything, so it was comfortable and nice.. It made me think how nice it is to have someone take care of me.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! If later I think of more things I want to say or write about, I'll come back to write another review.
Until then, I'll work hard on care until the 6-month stabilization period. Let's go~~!!
