How are my results?
Week 5-6: finally took off compression bra and switched to sports and wireless bras. Although, my breasts became way softer, I was still massaging it. Swelling by that time was minimal.
Month 2: the strange feeling of implants went away, not I don’t even feel them on touch. The shape looked nice a bit bigger than I expected but the assistant said it’s just because of swelling.
And now, 3 months after, I feel just great! no more swelling. Breasts are quite soft and feel very natural on touch. I think by now implants finally settled and got the final shape. My most favorite part is that they repeat my every body movement. If I lay down, they move to the sides, if I’m staying, they fall down. So far, very satisfied! I do have small scars under my breasts but they are hiding within folds, so aren’t too noticeable.

How do I feel 4 weeks after?
On week 2, right after all stitches were removed, I flew back to States. Still swollen, with lot of discomfort caused by pressure and unnatural feeling inside my chest.
Week 3: was instructed how to massage breasts little by little, so make it softer. Although, swelling is minimal, but pressure doesn’t let me comfortable enough (perhaps it’s because of the compression bra).
Week 4: the last week when I’m wearing my compression bra. Will finally remove it in few days. Dr.Barn’s assistant is always in touch and keep an eye on my recovery and if I follow all doctor’s instructions.

Motiva 355cc Implants: Consultation, Pre-op, Surgery and 1 Week Recovery Results
I’ve been looking for a place to get this surgery done for quite a while. Searched for best before and after, contacted lot of hospitals, chatted different patients and finally ended up with 2 places in Seoul. Both were pretty nice but I ended up going with the one whose staff seemed to me to be more professional and a surgeon a bit more attractive in terms of passion to his job and skills.
Consultation: before I actually met my doctor, I had a conversation with his assistant. She showed me few types of implants, asked general questions and issues. Later, after few minutes of waiting, I finally met my doctor, his name was Dr. Barn Jae Sang. He also had me try on different sizes to see if I felt comfortable enough with an exact size. I was also able to see few before and after pics on his desktop to get a feeling of what my new breasts could potentially look like. After everything he gave me some time to think and I made a decision over Motiva silicone implants around 335cc-375cc depending on how Dr.Barn would feel during the surgery. Once I chose him and his hospital, I made a deposit and got a discount, which made the total cost quite lower.
Pre-op: a day before my surgery, I came back for a complete body check-up. First, I filled out some questionnaire like what kind of diseases I had or have, what kind of symptoms I’m currently experiencing, what kind of medicine I’m taking or if there are any allergy reaction on anything. Then, I followed a nurse to check my lungs, make a cardiogram, she took some of my blood for tests and few before shots from different angles. Later, I was instructed not to drink or eat for at least 10 hours before the surgery. I was also warned that there should be no manicure or pedicure, so right after I left the hospital I went to salon to remove everything as had gel on my nails.
Surgery: it was scheduled for noon, so the last meal I had was at around 11pm and my last drink was at around 2am (I purposely set an alarm as I was also told that wouldn’t be allowed to drink 4 more hours after the surgery). I came an hour earlier to complete all paper work. Once all documents were signed, I headed to my recovery room where I changed clothes and put everything into a locker. After I was ready I was asked to wait till the operation room is ready for me. The waiting was killing, I wanted everything to start and finish as soon as possible and 10 minutes of waiting turned into an infinity for me. The, the assistant finally brought me to the operation room. In the operation room nurses were already waiting for me. I lay down on the table, they connected me to all machines and tied my hands (which scared me a bit, but the assistant said it’s normal and everyone goes through the same, so I calmed down). The last thing I remember was the moment when the anesthesiologist entered and said that now they’ll put me into sleep.
Right after the surgery: I woke up from some voices calling my name and saying “wake up!” and “open your eyes!” but opening my eyes was so difficult. When I finally opened my eyes I clearly remember how was told “everything is over, don’t worry!”. Then I was moved to a wheelchair and headed back to my recovery room. There was no need for hospitalization so I could go back to my hotel few hours later.
First night: was the most difficult. I could barely sleep few hours. Continuous pressure feeling with some dull pain in my chest area. I took painkillers but they didn’t actually helped a lot and I couldn’t take more that 1 every 4 hours ugh…
Next day: most of the time I spent in my bed, trying to focus my attention on Instagram, Facebook and Youtube and forget about pain and discomfort. Swelling became even worse…
Day 2: I tried to go out and had a short walk to the nearest 7/11. Every step reflected with pain in my chest. Swelling was wild because of which the pressure feeling became even worse. Hopefully had almost no dull pain…
Day 3: went to the hospital for dressing and follow up. Met my doctor and he said that my recovery is on track, nothing to worry about.
Day 4: walking became a bit easier, still swollen but no dull pain at all and I could finally go without any painkillers. But waking up from my bed of lifting hands was very challenging.
Day 5: walking became easier, swelling a little went down, pressure wasn’t that hard. Getting off the bed was still quite difficult as well lifting hands.
Day 7: another follow up with Dr.Barn, swelling gradually started to fade away, pressure was still there but no more pain while walking. Wanted to touch my breasts but afraid a lot.
Day 8: walk as much as I can, it really helps to get rid of swelling. So, swelling goes away more and more everyday. Still wearing compression bra (was told to wear it up to 1 month). The approach was under the breast and under the muscle, so I was told that’s why lifting hands still brought me discomfort.
Day 9: strange feeling while I walk went away. I still can feel implants (feeling like they are not a part of my body). I touched my breasts and they were super solid, was told that implants need some time to settle down, so I’m waiting…
Day 11 (today): I still feel that my breast is swollen and that clear feeling of implants inside me isn’t leaving me (perhaps, it’s just because I pay too many attention). This fri is gonna be 2 weeks already and once I remove all stitches I’m planning to go back home.
