Not an Easy Experience, but It Worth It – Proceeded at Regen with Dr. Lee
I originally was planning to get done my procedures at Wonjin (also got a consultation for my nose). The reason why Wonjin was in my list – on some forums they were quite popular with relatively low prices but my experience with their f2f consultation was a horror. Super rude assistant and no less rude surgeon +literally endless waiting. Once I was done there I already knew, it was definitely not the place where I want to get my surgery done. The second hospital in my list was Regen and since it’s located not that far from Wonjin I just decided to drop by without any booking. So, the waiting line was quite long but quite understandable since I had no appointment (and the consultant approached me few times, bringing her apology, which I also found pretty nice). Normally (as I was said) the surgery should be booked at least 2-3 weeks before but I decided that want to proceed it right after my consultation with dr. Lee and hopefully, he had a spare time on next week. During our consultation he showed me few implant options and we chose Bellagel. Since my breasts weren’t too asymmetrical dr. Lee also mentioned that 300cc for both sides would be more than enough as too big size would look quite unnatural on me, I agreed. I actually didn’t plan to make my breasts too big in the first place, so what dr. Lee suggested seemed quite logical and acceptable.
The prep day was a day before my surgery after that I was also done with all paper work and was instructed to fast for 10 or 12hrs (can’t exactly remember by now). My surgery started at around 5pm and in few hours everything was done, dr. Lee also suggested to stay overnight, so I left the hospital only 10 in the morning, the next day. My first night (even though I was in the hospital, lying on a special bed, etc.) was very tough. I didn’t feel any pain the first few hours but at night (seems like anesthesia stopped working on me) I did feel that annoying feeling mixed up with pressure and really difficult breathing. Few hours I wasn’t allowed even to drink and I wanted to eat so badly. Later a nurse helped me to order some chicken soup and I could finally at least to calm down my stomach lol. After the discharge I came back to my hotel and most of the time stayed at home (although, was told to walk a lot to faster my metabolism, so I could get rid of swelling) but every movement rejected in pain and tension in chest area. I needed few days to finally get accustomed to that feeling. The first time I came out was on day 3 when had to go to the checkup. Everything was on track, but I still didn’t feel good enough. On day 7 when I came back to see my surgeon I could finally see my new breasts for the first time. Frankly speaking, I expected a bit bigger size but still was quite satisfied :) On week 3 when I came too dr Lee the last time before left Seoul, he said that implants already dropped and I could remove an upper band but kept wearing a compression bra for few more weeks. I worried a lot how I’d feel in the plane but everything was totally fine and I could get back home quite safely. After about a month of wearing my compression garment I started to feel some very uncomfortable feeling on my skin, turned out it was an allergic reaction (have no idea why). So the consultation from Regen said that by this time I can switch to sports or wireless bra. With time I started to notice that implants dropped more and more, so I contacted Regen again. The consultant asked to wait at least 6 months, well the situation didn’t get better, so dr. Lee asked to come for another mini surgery to bring implants up and fix them. The second time wasn’t that brutal as it was in the beginning, I felt almost no pain and recovery went way easier. It’s been a year since I got everything done and I feel great. I also think my results look amazing. Although, it wasn’t easy for me at all I have no regrets and would do it even if I knew about everything I had to go through.
