Top Favorite Things I've Ever Done for Myself

Hello!

Lengthy and overdue review ahead: Dr. Kwon performed my breast augmentation in August 2024, and I’ve been meaning to write a review. Dr. Kwon originally performed my rhinoplasty in 2021, so I’ve had a long relationship with him + Lilit. I consulted with a few surgeons for my breast aug, and Dr. Kwon was always my top choice. First, I already trusted him: he is incredibly brilliant, patient, knowledgeable, kind, personable, and understanding… and his results speak for themselves. Lilit is simply amazing too. She’s a beautiful person inside and out—responsive, professional, caring, everything you could ask for.

Trust me, many doctors will abandon you post-op but they’re not like that—I’ve probably been to Dr. Kwon’s office more than my hair salon.

TRANSAXILLARY APPROACH
When planning my breast aug, I always wanted the transaxillary approach. Thanks to his technique and the scar tape he recommended, my armpit scars on the left side have been invisible since 6 months post-op. Since the goal is to enhance the look of the breast overall, I was pretty against having visible scars underneath my breasts… and I’ve seen scars from the nipple approach, and those look scary to me too. Dr. Kwon is one of the few plastic surgeons who performs this approach, and that's just one of the reasons he was my top choice. I'm so glad I went with my instincts and didn't compromise on this.

SIZING
I’m super grateful to Dr. Kwon for helping me choose the implant size—I sent a large pdf of ideal photos, and he is exceptionally talented at delivering exactly what I wanted. He recommended 240cc moderate profile plus on both sides, and that’s what we went with. Before I was totally flat, and now I’m a 32C/34C depending on the brand. The look is exactly what I wanted. My goal was to still fit into the same clothes, keep up an active lifestyle, hide them when I want to, and still feel like myself. Simultaneously, I wanted to go big enough to be worth the money + surgery and fill out my favorite tops: bikinis, halters, sports bras, etc. All my clothes look better now with boobs. Everyone says "go bigger" but I think there is such a thing as "too big"—my size is perfect, but I wouldn't go bigger. If I were giving advice, I'd personally rather risk going a little too small than too big, but my frame is also smaller and that's my personal preference.

RECOVERY
Surgery day went smoothly. His entire team is professional and offered the most comfortable process possible. I wasn’t very nervous because I’d been through the process before. Out of all the procedures I’ve had done, I’d say breast augmentation was the most uncomfortable. The first week was extremely difficult—you definitely need someone to take care of you the first 24 hours. The pain medication he prescribes helps a lot, but in my opinion, it will always be difficult going under the muscle since your chest muscles affect almost every movement. After about a week, I felt okay to walk around, and after 3 weeks, I stopped feeling the implant inside my chest. The recovery moved quickly after ~3-4 weeks. After 8 months, I barely feel them in my body anymore—only during specific chest-heavy movements, like push-ups.

RESULTS
My breasts looked great even 4 weeks out of surgery—photo attached. Now, it’s been almost 9 months, and I’m super happy with them. This is perhaps my second-best life decision (first was my rhinoplasty)! I've dreamed about a figure like this since I was in middle school, and I'm so proud of myself for saving up and finally doing this for myself. I feel like a powerful WOMAN—like the Bratz doll I've always envisioned inside my head. I’m in my late twenties, but before my breast augmentation, I felt mentally stuck as a middle school girl. And exercising won't help with that. They look SO feminine and natural and fit me perfectly—I told a few girlfriends I got them done, and they said they didn’t even notice. Once, someone even said in casual conversation in front of me how they "hate fake boobs" as they didn't realize mine were fake... so funny. Lastly, sometimes when I'm in a bad mood, I remember I have perfect c-cups, and I feel instantly better.

TLDR: My body feels like the best version of the real ME. If you want peace of mind for your best-ever results, go with Dr. Kwon. You won’t regret it.
