Fat Transfer to Breast in Korea - Seoul, KR

4 Month update

Its been four months since the surgery and about a month since my last update.
Breasts have decreased even more... I don't do vigorous exercises but I noticed that I sweat most around my breasts. So sad. I don't want to have to be chubby just to maintain the size of my boobs though.
I have stopped wearing a compression garment for about 5 weeks now as I wanted to slowly stop relying on it to keep my shape. Sadly any curves I had are gone lol and my skin does feel a bit loose but I'm confident that it'll get better with time and more exercise.
Overall do I think it was worth it? I know I still have a decent size and I'm happy, however I might have just gone with implants if I knew the results would leave me with only 50%. Every body is different and my size isn't too bad... I just feel that for the pain and price, it would have been more worthwhile for implants.

He was reluctant in answering my questions, making sure I felt comfortable with the procedure. However I cannot say that he is reliable as his work on myself and another patient I know of wasn't as satisfactory. They even offered her to come back in the next year to repair the surgery. For myself, it's still fluctuating as they haven't settled yet but so far it's decent!

so what size bra do you wear now?

Wow, you look really great. They look so natural. Do they feel natural too? Curious if they're more firm than natural breasts?

Hey you look good. Hard to say what they were before but I think 50% increase is about average for the procedure? How are your other scars (not on boobs)? Also...it seem like the procedure was only $5K was it $10K b/c of all of the travel costs? Thanks
February 23, 2017
Thank you! I'd say it's 30% survival now that I'm more active. The other scars are still noticeable- on my back, butt cheeks, and belly button. The procedure was about $8k but yea with everything else it came to $10k roughly

Cool thanks - I was considering going to Korea for this but seems like it would be about the same.

I think you look amazing but can't really compare to before. Do you have more recent before pics other than the swimsuit one?

It feels weird knowing that I was just in Korea for the first time just last month! And hopefully I'll get to visit again another time since I was unable to really explore the city while I was recovering.

All of my bruising has disappeared finally, as well as soreness in my legs, feet and back. I still have small lumps in some areas like my right breast and around my waist, but after reading other people's reviews I am hoping that it will go away eventually like they've said.

The size has definitely shrunk from the first week after surgery but I feel like, and HOPE, that it won't go down anymore! It's half a size larger than before, which was previously a B to almost a C cup. I didn't take any before pics but I found one picture when I was in a bikini if you wanted better reference.

I know the doc said I should eat more and exercise less to maintain the size but... I ain't trying to be tubby just to have boobs. So i've started exercising again, just nothing that involves my chest!

Wow you look great! That is a great size for you and looks to be about a cup size fuller.

You are looking good and they are definitely bigger than pre-op. You mentioned before about one is bigger than the other. They appear to be the same size to me. Thanks for sharing. How much did it cost you total, include transportation, hotel, medication, etc.
November 30, 2016
Thank you, I appreciate that!
In total I'd say it cost about $10 000

I am thinking about go to Korea for the same procedure since one I had done in the state was not up to my expectation. I don't think I can afford 10,000 dollars price tag neither. Well I just have to be happy with what I got :). Your look so beautiful tho and that worth the money spent.

You look really good! They look super natural. Kinda wish my doctor put the breast incisions on the outer side like yours lol. I'm 23 also and Asian!

December 1, 2016
Thank u!! Most were from my legs, the rest from my mid section and back

Hey toryus,
I just got my Fat Transfer procedure done by Dr. Bednar & I'm 2 wks post-op. Have you noticed your waist contour to look much different from before, now that you are 1.5mo post-op? I really not noticing any difference in mine (I know it's early on but still). I wouldn't have been able to tell that any fat was taken from my abdomen if it wasn't for the lumps on mine. =/
December 3, 2016
I don't feel like there was much difference to be honest.. which sucks because I too had gained some weight for the operation :(
The doc said it was just swelling from the surgery and that it'll go down and look more contoured with time but... nope. And I feel like I'm relatively active too. Yea I have a few lumps but I tried not to touch it a lot besides from wearing compression garment and so far most of it has gone away

After a week of incredibly painful and tiring days, I reeeeally started to missing those painkillers (Which I thought I didn't need)!!! I felt every movement and turn, my muscles are so tense that I feel it in my tissues. Stretching has never felt so restraining. I'm usually quite active, kind of..., so having to stay home and turn into a couch potato is really upsetting :( But I know it's really important to give myself TIME to heal.
I still try to take walks every day of up to 2km, it's hard when there's no where I can really go without looking old and awkward...
Still a ton of bruising everywhere and my boobs still feel hard, but definitely softening up and decreasing

Sorry to hear you are in a lot of pain. How are your thighs looking? I know you had a ton of bruising there. Also sounded like you didn't have to use Brava prior to your operation. Also you said your boobs feel hard? Is this to be expected in the first few weeks? Can you tell me how much you paid for your entire procedure? Thanks again. I wish you a speedy recovery.
