The reason for my surgery is because I lost volume in my breasts as I got older. I am only 23 years old however my bra's became loose as I became more active. (From full 32C to 32B) I did not want to get implants and fat transfer seemed like more 'natural' to increase my breasts.
I am 5'2 and weigh 118lbs, asian and do not take any contraceptives.
After researching numerous hospitals in Korea I decided with one that seemed well known and was able to answer any questions I had. They had even called long-distance to tell me procedures and what to expect. After sending in a deposit, they requested flight information so they could pick me up from the airport to go straight to their hospital for consultation. Everything went smoothly, they measured me on a BMI scale, took pre-photos, instructed me not to eat 8hrs prior surgery for the next day, and took my payment.
Arriving at the hospital the next day, I was assessed to see where fat would be taken from, mostly from my thighs as the fat there is apparently most stable, as well as back of my legs, back, and midsection. I was then sterilized in the operation room, laid on the surgery table, and received my anesthesia. Below is what they have email to me when I asked about the procedure:
------------
*1. Fat Grafting Breast and Buttocks Augmentation*
Fat grafting uses healthy and young fat cells and stem cell ingredients
extracted from fat to inject precise amounts of autologous fat on the
breasts and buttocks to add volume.
Most commonly the fat is collected from the back of the thighs and injected
to the breasts and buttocks area. The reason for collecting the fat from
the back of the thighs is that the fat cells of the thighs have the highest
possibility of the engraftment.
*Surgery Information*
The surgery is performed under sedated anesthesia
2 ~ 3 hour operation time
No Hospitalization

After the surgery I woke up incredibly drained, but was able to walk out the hospital and back to my hotel within a couple hours. Picked up my prescribed medications which included pain killers, anti-inflammation and anti-biotics.
I have bandages wrapped all over my body, I feel like a mummy. The bruises are painful to see, especially along my legs. Can't see my breasts yet since they're all wrapped up.
I nearly fainted after my first dose of meds, probably because I had only eaten eggs and toast this morning. After having a bowl of porridge, I felt ten times better. ALWAYS eat a lot before taking meds**

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sorry you are not happy with the end result. Can you tell me how much cc's they put in each breast? Did the doctor give you false expectations? I'm scared other doctors might say the same just to get the business. I'm considering this procedure too but worried about the outcome. Also can you tell me the name of the hospital you went to so that I stay clear away from that place? Thank you in advance.

The doctor said they put 250CC in each, a little more in my right though because it was a bit smaller. It wasn't that it was false, fat grafting to breast results highly vary which is why they give such a wide "guarantee stable success". It definitely works best if you have a bit of breast size to start with.
The hospital is called Grand in gangnam, they seem professional but I'm sure it is mostly for business...

I was able to walk around for hours although I had been wrapped in bandages from my chest down lol I can't stay in my room for long especially in a new country I've never explored before.
It was uncomfortable to walk sometimes as my legs would swell so much to the point my knees clicked when I bent them... And then coming home to see more bruising was worrisome but the doctor hadn't instructed that I should rest and he didn't seem concerned when my bruises were more red. I finally got my garment today though so I won't have to wear these bulky bandages anymore! Also I'll be flying back to Canada soon so I can do all the resting I want when I'm home
