Liposuction thights and lipofilling breast in South Korea

WORTH IT$5,500
Hello guys, I'm currently in South Korea for studying and I'm 167cm and 63kg. It doesn't matter how much I diet or go to the gym, I can't shed the fat on my thights. Plus my breast doesn't have volume on top so I thought why not killing 2 birds with 1 stone. I made an appointment with Fresh plastic surgery. I am a healthcare worker myself so I did research before I picked them. Doctor Hong is specialized in fat grafting and he seems to be transparent with his work. He has a youtube channel that addresses frequently asked questions.
When I got there, the consultant could speak perfectly English and has a sense of humor. She kept my expectations realistic and answered all my questions. I even got her kakaotalk(korean chatting service) so that I can ask her anything. We kept in touch and she was really nice.
Yesterday I did my liposuction on my thights, armpits and lipofilling in my breast. Keep in mind that I used to go to the gym a lot so a lot of my volume in my thights are from muscles too. But the result now looks better than expected even though I'm swollen. I saw doctor Hong at the day of the surgery. He was really nice and even though there is a language barrier I had my consultant with me the whole time. She went with me to the surgery room and held my hand when they prepped me. I'm super happy that she was there to give me mental support before surgery. I can't wait to see my results in the next couple of months! I haven't have pictures yet so I'll upload the before and after pictures as soon as possible.

I had implants done in Korea after cancer and one breast was removed. I wanted do like you I tried for years and after my cancer treatment I couldn't get the fat off my thighs. I worked out not like a crazy person but I was thin size 6 after treatment let's just say even my doctor was in shock. So needless to say all the clinic I talk to in Korea none would do fat transfer. So I had implants done and let me just say I'm having them removed as soon as my insurance says yes. My new doctor thankfully said for medical reasons the implants has caused more harm then good. I'm so happy for you.
Now implants have a name (BII) Breast Implant Illness.

Hi! What was the cost of your thighs lipo?
May 2, 2022
Hello, I’m not super sure since I got both at the same time. I think it was around 3,500 dollars for 360 upper leg

Do you have any photos of before/after for the thighs? Did you like the result from Dr. Hong?

Here are the before pictures and after 10 days pictures. As you can see my upper-breast is more full now and my fat around my armpits is less. I removed my armpit fat too. I’m happy now but I know my boobs will be a bit smaller after 3 months. I didn’t feel much pain in my boobs but my legs were killing me for the first 5 days. Even a small touch was painful even with painkillers. I think it is normal since they removed 3,6L of fat from my legs... Going to the toilet was painful too.
I went to the hospital to get my stitches removed. They did some massage with a machine for the swelling in my legs and a red light treatment for my breast. It was more painful than I thought it would be (the massage).
Furthermore the english councilor is really kind. She replies to my text messages whenever I have questions. I was worried about my swelling and bruises since the bruising went down on my feet too. She comforted me and told me it’s completely normal. I’m happy that she can reply quickly so I won’t be stressed out too much about it.

I am interested in the red light treatment. Did they do that on your naked breast? For how many minutes?
Good luck

They did it on my naked breast, I need to go back once a week for massage and the light. I'm not sure what the light does but I think it is a kind of a laser since they put googles on my eyes for protections. They did it for at least 20 mins I think

Finally 4 weeks post-op. I still have some bruises left but the swelling went away and I feel like my boobs got a bit smaller. One side got way smaller than the other so I hope it will even out eventually. I can’t judge it yet but maybe because the side that is smaller is my dominant hands side. I use that side way more so I feel like that’s why the swelling or fat went away faster. Now I’m trying to use my other hand more so that it will even it out eventually. Fingers crossed!

What was your original size? And how is the healing going?
June 10, 2020
I am not sure about my original size because it depends on which brand... normally I wear 75C/70D so my measurements are bust 88cm and under the bust 72cm. Now my measurements are 92cm bust and under the bust 72cm.
Healing has been going well. At around week 5,5 my bruises are all gone. It took way longer than expected. Still can't wear wired bra. I tried at around 5 weeks mark but it left a red mark under my boobs with some itchiness. My skin around my boob area is still sensitive. I will update at 2 month mark again.
