Dr. Kwon is a Master at His Craft
I opted for an inframammary breast augmentation (under the breast fold). My implants are Natrelle Inspira SoftTouch, SSF (smooth, full-profile) 385cc for both left and right. I have relatively broad shoulders and a wide rib cage so I was able to go for a fuller implant. It helps to come in with picture examples of how you envision your results looking, as cup size is not as helpful. Also be mindful of the profile when you choose your implant (basically how they sit/project when viewed from the side). If you really delve into it, it's good to choose a specific range of implant sizes (with the actual CC's) as Dr. Kwon will help determine what is best suited to your frame. It's also not unusual to have 2 different implant sizes if your breasts are not symmetric to start with.
My surgery was later in the morning (11AM) and you are required to come in fasted. Once you've gone under you just wake up and the surgery is done, and I had no issues here. Historically, I am pretty sensitive to anesthesia and one of the hardest parts of recovery was waiting for my GI tract to go back to normal. First day post-op, I could not stomach anything (including water) and it wasn't until the next day that I could start introducing food to my system. For a little over 1 month post-op, I was quite bloated/constipated and often needed laxatives. But that phase eventually passed.
Pain after surgery was about a 4 out of 10 for me on average. The uncomfortable feeling was sitting up from a reclined position and feeling the weight shift in the chest (both due to general swelling and the implants themselves), but this was nothing unbearable. I do recommend to keep your arms mobile as soon as you are cleared to so that you don't end up with stiff shoulders.
Your breasts when you first come out of surgery will look weird. That's perfectly normal and just how it is. It will shocking at first and you might hate how they look fresh out of surgery, but trust the process. It takes some time for the breasts to "drop and fluff" and look normal. By the 3-4 week mark I was starting to see the improvement as they healed. I'm about 8 months out now and my breasts are pretty much fully dropped and fluffed and I love them!
The scar under my breasts is not too dark, it's pretty flat to the touch, and it's not that noticeable because it's well hidden under the breast fold so I have no issues there. If you are prone to developing dark scars or if you don't have a prominent breast fold to begin with, the transaxillary ("invisible") breast augmentation is also an option - and this is one of Dr. Kwon's specialties anyway.
I'm very happy with my results and would absolutely trust Dr. Kwon with any future surgeries I might want done in the future!

I am thrilled to hear that you are very happy with your results and I appreciate your detailed review! I know a lot of immediate surgery results can seem scary at times, but as you've correctly mentioned, it is all part of the healing process. Patience, rest and recovery are key. Thank you for sharing your experience/photos and for trusting me with your surgery!
