So I'm one week since surgery. I'm very swollen, as you can tell. I have a follow up appointment tomorrow at the clinic and I think I will have my first RF massage. I'm upset with my chest because as the swelling subsides, I'm really getting a chance to see what less than 100cc per breast looks like (not much). I think I might have chosen the most conservative doctor in South Korea.

So my bruises are starting to let up a little bit, and the redness is fading from my chest, but I am so swollen and sore!! There has been no more communication from the clinic regarding the 1/3cup fat transfer to each breast I received. It just seems extremely pointless and upsetting, given the fact they expressed to me that at least 180-200cc could be filled in each breast easily given my size and skin. I expressed my shock at the minuscule amount placed that merited stitches on my nipples and under my breasts. I scar so easily and I was assured that it was small needles that would place the fat on the sides of my breast. I don't think anything can be done (they didn't save any fat for a 2nd graft because I am a foreigner), but I am still sad about it. Sore, and sad. That's what I got going on right now.

...so I went to the clinic to get my dressing changed, and asked about how much was removed/transferred. Dr. Park only injected 72 and 78cc's of fat to each breast. What a waste....I'm going to have scars on my nipples and under my breasts forever for 1/3cup injected with only a portion of that staying. Not worth it, in my opinion. I feel kind of led on about it, as they assured me they would put 180cc and 200cc respectively, after looking at the volume and space in my breasts. They seemed very dismissive about it, and also said that they didn't save any fat (in case I wanted a second transfer down the line). Just.....not cool.
