WORTH IT
I've battled with body image issues since I was a child, and even through years of working on accepting myself and self-love, I continued to struggle with the look of my breasts. I just felt like they were too small and not proportionate to the rest of my body, and that they had an odd shape and sag due to fluctuating weight loss and gain throughout the years.
I started going to numerous consultations at plastic surgery centers back in November 2020 here in Seoul, South Korea where I currently live. It was then that I found out, from doctor after doctor, that the shape, size, and position of my breasts that I was unhappy about was actually because they are considered a deformity called tuberous breasts. Honestly, it was pretty devastating to hear at first - all that time already not being so satisfied about my breasts, but to find out I actually have a deformity was quite a blow to my self-esteem.
However, I didn't want to jump into it right away. I didn't want to make a rash decision based on this news, and so I took the time to really do my research and think about if it was the best decision for me. This is when I learned all the nuances of tuberous breasts, and how it's not always as straightforward of a procedure as when they are "normal" breasts, so I was getting concerned about if it was even possible for me to have nice results.
I was still thinking about it at the start of this summer, 2021. I had done a consultation at THE Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul with Dr. Lee last November. I remember feeling really great about her potentially doing my surgery, so in June 2021, when I decided I wanted to take the plunge and get the surgery, I contacted the clinic and asked if I could meet with her again. She was unable to do surgeries at the time because of some family stuff, but the consultant told me that I could meet with Dr. Kim, another breast surgeon at the clinic.
I am so beyond grateful that I was able to find Dr. Kim as my surgeon. Nearly all the other surgeons I had seen last fall wanted to go with the somewhat "typical" method that most women get (under the muscle and inframammary incision). But after all my months of research, I did question whether that method was really best for me and my case specifically. Thankfully, Dr. Kim took the time to really make a plan that would be more suitable to my breasts, body type, and specific condition. He told to me that he wanted to place my implants above the muscle through a periareolar incision, and took the time to explain exactly how that was going to produce the best results for my breasts. I walked out of this first consultation with him feeling really sure and positive about going through with it, so I made a deposit that day and booked the date.
All this to say, Dr. Kim did an absolutely amazing job for my breast augmentation and I am so very happy with them already! I was admittedly a bit worried about doing them here in South Korea, simply because the surgeons here obviously are usually doing breast augmentations on women much shorter, thinner, and petite than myself, and I wondered about my results in terms of that as well. But Dr. Kim was great with communicating everything about how my surgery would go and what he was going to be able to do, that all those worries went away and I am so ecstatic that I went through with the surgery.
I'm only a bit over three weeks post-op but they are already feel so healed and have settled more than I would have expected at this point.

My surgery was done just over three weeks ago, and I want to share my experience and information about my breast augmentation journey. It was a huge decision that I am so happy I made, but I remember doing a lot of research and trying to get any and all information about my specific body type and situation beforehand. I hope my experience might be able to help others who have similar stats myself to help them feel more comfortable and secure about whatever decision they make for their own bodies! Here are some of my pre-op pictures to start.
