Breast augmentation before and after — real patient review | UNE Plastic Surgery

I'd been thinking about getting breast surgery for a long time, but I kept putting it off because I was worried about side effects. Then a friend of mine got it done and came back looking so pretty...

I heard Dr. Kim had just opened his own clinic, so I rushed straight over to see Dr. Kim Uigeon at UNE Plastic Surgery.

I had my consultation with the coordinator first, and honestly, why is she so pretty lol

She's pretty, but on top of that she explained everything so clearly and in a way that was really easy to follow. 

She kindly walked me through implant texture, implant features, and what size would suit my body, and then I got to meet Dr. Kim Uigeon. 

You could just hear how kind Dr. Kim was from his voice. He really went into detail about the size and the implant that would work best for me. 

Once I booked my surgery date, I went home and just counted down the days until it came. On the day of surgery, my mind went completely blank. I was so nervous and shaky I couldn't think of anything, but the coordinator kept calming me down and looking out for me the whole time, and I was really grateful for that. 

I closed my eyes and when I opened them again, it was already over. Still, since it was general anesthesia and an actual surgery, there was some soreness. Up until day 2 it was hard to get up, and since I had the axillary incision, it was hard to use my hands too. 

Whenever I put any strength into my hands, I'd feel it in my chest, haha. But I was still able to walk around slowly, and I could even shower the day after surgery. By day 3 I was going to the movies, eating out, laughing — basically doing pretty much everything like normal, haha. 

It's already been a month now. Wearing the upper band was tough for that whole month, but I eventually got used to it. 

When I went in for my one-month checkup, Dr. Kim told me I didn't need to wear the upper band anymore, and hearing that one line made me so happy. 

Now I can finally wear pretty clothes~^^ I really feel like breast surgery brought me a lot of satisfaction. Thank you so much, Dr. Kim Uigeon and the coordinator, for taking such good care of me~
