Fat Transfer to Breasts - South Korea

I can't find Vera clinic on google :( do they have a website/blog/kakaotalk? Thanks

Hi Pinkcess. Here's the doctor's information: Vera Clinic Tel: 02-517 7599-8 e-mail: ysvera@naver.com The receptionists do not speak English. The doctor speaks enough English to explain the procedure, risks, etc. I am going again on Monday and will ask the best way to contact them for non-Korean speaking patients. You should keep in mind that they recommend massages over the course of 5 weeks afterwards. And yes, 2700 was all inclusive of the procedure and the massages. There is one more 100 cost of the compression garment.

You should do the massage course. I have a few friends that didn't wear the garment and didn't go to the courses, they ended up with legs that look a bit uneven. Can you please ask how much the courses are for me? Thank you so much for replying. I'm saving up already, hopefully I'll be able to go during winter.

Just the courses are about $50 each time... But are included in the fee.

No way the courses are included in the $2700 fee? Thats an awesome clinic! I can't find anything on google about this clinic, seems like they don't even have a korean website of some sort. I'll write to them and ask. Hopefully, person reading the email will understand. Do you still remember the name of your doctor? Thanks for replying

thank you!

Thank you! :-) I just posted photos of my lipo sites. The scars are very small and only required one suture. There are two on the front - one on each side (you can see the location from the blue line on the bandage). There are three on my backside.. two under each cheek of my bottom and one in the middle of my body.

Thanks Jess! The name is Vera Clinic... Dr. Yoon.

I'm looking forward to the final result too. Good luck Amelia on your second round!

Thanks so much for this compliment! You've really made me feel great and I'm happy that I went for a much more natural look. I will probably opt for a breast lift if they head farther south in the future, but for now I think it's good.

Thank you!

I suggest that you write to him at **** I'm not sure how long you need to stay, but you can ask about this. Personally, I'd be a bit apprehensive about traveling soon after as the flight to OZ is well over 10 hours and the risk for issues (such as clots) after surgery is increased. The cost might be a bit higher/lower depending on how many sites you would like to harvest.

Thanks for the warm words... much appreciated! Recovery has been good over the last few days. Definitely easier to move around every day. I'd put the pain at about a 3.5, but only in the back of my legs (i.e. when I sit down). However, the pain is fleeting (only in the initial moment I sit), so it's very manageable.

I'm glad to hear your recovery is going well and that the pain is manageable. Can you see any bruising or "anything" at the incision points on your breasts? Your lower body is remarkable post op. I would think you would see a lot more bruising, etc. Looking forward to more updates! 

Thanks for the kind words. Actually, I'm still quite bruised, but only on the inside of my leg, so you can't really see it. I'm still holding my breath waiting for the final results, but so appreciate the encouraging words.. thank you!

If only we lived closer then...maybe we could have lunch & fat transfer talk, lol. Have a good day!!

Dear Jpmanager, I had my fat transfer to the breasts two days before you did. All of my swelling is gone and I LOVE the look I have now. The question of course is the retention. How is yours going? It would be awesome if I could keep what I have now - at three weeks. Please keep us posted as to how yours is holding. The range runs the full gammet. There is one on here that seems to have lost all of it and another that seems to have lost none...interesting you said you were witholding exercising because my doctor said it increases blood flow so in theory it would seem advantageous. Looking forward to knowing how yours is progressing.

Hi It'sAGoodLife, My swelling has gone down and I'm retaining the fat (so far). I am withholding exercise because I know that it will ultimately burn fat, hence compromise my fat transfer. With that being stated, I will admit that I walk a LOT since I mostly rely on public transport (it's great here) and believe that walking (low impact exercise) does help with a faster recovery. I have increased my intake of a few healthy high fat foods (avocado, almonds) and taking supplements (iron, flax seed oil) and drinking tons of water. I'll do this until I'm 6 weeks out, but must admit I'm ready to get back to exercising in a normal capacity. Are you doing anything different to retain your fat?

I have been taking a vitamin regimen for about a year - L-Arganine, L-lysine for circulation and tissue plus centrum silver and b complex, C and D. It is interesting because the three medical people in the room said "The fat looks really good" and were agreeing with eachother so I asked what that meant and they said that it was yellow with a low degree of blood. That was encouraging. It is also interesting that the fat was placed below the muscle which the doctor said helps retention. Also there were only two points of insertion in my breasts. I noticed on here that several people have multiple tiny insertions in the breasts. I don't know which is better or what that means but I can't help but analyze everything as I wait to see the results. I am at this writing really really pleased with what I have though we are different in that you have had substantial breasts in the past and I never have. It is a learning curve for me. I am still, I am sure to the rest of the world, small busted but my breast seem so large to me. I don't want the public to know I did this. Anyway, I hope you stay on here for a while so we can see how we retain - relative to each other. Oh yeah...my breasts are more swollen every morning. Are yours?

I only had two insertion points as well. Both were medial to my axilla (close to my armpit area) and even I don't notice the entry point. I'm now 3.5 weeks from surgery and while the swelling has gone down, the fat is abundant enough to fill out the upper pole of the breast (something I was lacking). I don't notice a difference in swelling from night to day. Although, I must admit that I can see/feel a HUGE difference in the places he excised the fat (lipo-ed). My pants fit so much better and I don't feel like I'm spilling out of things from my flank (muffin top). I'll continue to update... will look for yours as well.. :-)

Thanks! I'm hoping the fat transfers well!!
