Eight: Breast Lift and Augmentation

WORTH IT
I recently had a breast lift with augmentation at Eight Plastic Surgery with Dr. Kim Han Jo, and I wanted to share my experience for anyone considering it.
Consultation:
My consultation was really helpful. The surgeon explained my options, what to expect, and the potential risks. One thing I learned: bring a list of questions. It's easy to forget what you want to ask once you're in the room. I would also follow up afterward with a text to confirm understanding, options, and what's included in the price.
Surgery Day:
Surgery day went smoothly. The staff made me feel calm and comfortable, and everything was explained step by step. The English translator was there to translate as needed; however, almost everyone I encountered, Dr. Kim, the consultant, and the desk staff, was all very fluent in English. I would try to get aftercare instructions before the surgery unless you have someone with you, which I would advise. I was loopy from the anesthesia and did not have a clear mind, but otherwise felt fine physically.
Aftercare & Follow-Ups:
There were several follow-up appointments to make sure everything was healing as it should. I recommend taking notes or asking for written instructions after each visit because it's easy to forget little details. If anything is unclear, reach out. I sent a few texts with questions, and the team always responded quickly.
Healing Process:
Healing takes patience. The first couple of weeks, I had swelling and bruising that made me second-guess things, but it has improved daily. There is a “torpedo” stage and a “drop and fluff” stage. Trust the healing process. Follow the aftercare instructions and wear the correct compression bras as directed. Now that I'm a couple of months out, I feel good about my decision. It is definitely an improvement from before. My results are looking more natural, and I’m happy we chose the right size to fit my body. It hasn't been an overnight change, and I am still healing, but taking it one day at a time has been the best advice. I would still make the choice to undergo the procedure at Eight if I had to do it again.
