Real Reviews

Here is my very overdue one-week review (haha).

In my case, I scheduled the surgery right before the Lunar New Year holiday so I could rest through it, and with two days of leave added, I ended up resting a total of 9 days!

​

The one-month mark is coming up soon, and by now I can lie on my side briefly and even prop myself up on my arms for a moment... heh.

Still, let me retrace my memories.

​

First, I had it done at UNE, and I believe I heard the operation took 39 minutes? Transaxillary, Mentor Xtra, 430cc on both sides! And as I hoped, my recovery was remarkably comfortable.

​

It is not that my breasts were perfectly symmetric, but I had lived with the asymmetry all my life without much stress. So I figured matching implants would not bother me, and said I would go with the same size on both sides — the director added that the next size up from 430cc was a big jump, so matching was the better call, which made the decision easy~

​

Tracing back to day one, I have a funny-sad memory of having a comfortable recovery while convinced I was not (haha)... I was in a two-bed recovery room, and the turnover was very fast — as I came in, the next bed emptied, then someone new came in. (I suspect the room keeps rotating quickly because so many patients recover comfortably and leave soon.)

​

But the person before me, who could not have been far ahead of me, kept calling the nurse saying it hurt. (She genuinely seemed in pain.) Then about... five minutes later, I heard the tap-tap-tap of her phone, then — may I go now? — and off she went...

​

Hearing that, I thought.....!? Ah... I must not be one of the comfortable cases ㅠ.ㅠ So when the director came in, I told him it hurt — and he looked puzzled: why would it hurt...? It only took 39 minutes...?? Then he adjusted my compression bra a bit, and suddenly I felt alive again. Only then did I crack a smile and say, I suddenly feel fine — I remember it clearly!

​

I think I recovered for 30-40 minutes before leaving. My parents came to meet me, and I remember grinning the moment I saw their faces. My chest felt heavy but there was no real pain; I slept in my father's car on the way to their home, then packed my bag at dawn and returned to my own place... haha.

​

The original plan, had it hurt, was to lie at my parents' place calling for my mom — but I felt so unexpectedly fine, getting up, sitting, lying down all on my own, that I just packed up and walked home at dawn... hahahahaha.

​

With the holiday included I rested a full 9 days, one with my bed, so recovery went smoothly without any real issues!

In week one I remember constantly checking whether the shape had come out well! It seemed to have, so I kept taking a peek(?). The transaxillary scar is just a straight line.. like one extra crease, and I marveled looking at it, thinking — does this director sharpen his scalpel daily? heh.

Below is my adorable^^ before^^

These days I only drop by the forum now and then to check when the firmness loosens, so I would say progress is good~ I will probably write a one-month review soon... At this point the feel is fundamentally firm — if you deliberately press, it gives(?), soft on the outside and firm within. I want the softness to hurry... ^_^
