I had DES (ptosis correction) at DA and I am rather satisfied with my result! I think DA is rather famous for F/C as I see reviews about them here and when I was at the clinic, they had a lot of patients with bandages wrapped around their faces lol good luck researching! It's best to go to a f2f consult and see what the doctor says and they give you a discounted quote when you actually get there.

 

Haha how did you know I had my nose done as well! lol Yes I did it at DA as well

 

Hi everyone!
It has been nearly 5 ~ 6 months since my eye surgery. And I had a request from one of the forumers to post my recent pics so here it is!
(And on a side note, I am not a promoter, haven't been paid by the clinic to promote, etc. just incase you guys get the wrong idea..) I just had a request from one of the forumers by PM to post my recent pics as she underwent eye surgery around the same time as me, and I thought I would post it on my old posting as other people may also be interested in how I am doing so far. Any comments are welcome

 

Yes I believe the doctors there are good at BA as well Dr Kim spoke fluent English and he seemed really confident in his work and I liked their b&a photos! Good luck with your consult!

 

It was good! They provide you deswelling treatment after 1 week which was nice just light therapy to help you deswell and high frequency wave treatment starts after 2 weeks post op to make the breast softer.

 

Man they didn't quote me that high!! When did you consult them? Thats crazy!! lol

 

Hello forumers!
Here is my 1 week post-op review of BA in Korea!
Just want to thank everyone in this forum who has written about their BA journey. It has truly helped me a lot to prepare for wahts going to come and helped me freak out a litte less

So it has been 1 week since my surgery and I went to the clinic this morning for my 1 week post-op check up. Met with the doctor and he said that everything is going well so far and that I am a good patient lol. Hes really kind.
Here is a detailed journey from consultation, surgery day to recovery:

Consultation: I had Doctor Kim and he spoke really good English and was very nice and understanding so I felt really comfortable during my consultation. He showed me before and after pics of his patients and explained the difference between teardrop and round implants. He said that in my case round implants would be more suitable and showed me a few options, got to touch all the implants. Then they had a 3D scan thing that scanned my body and showed images of what its going to be like after surgery so I can decide on the size. That was pretty cool He also made me wear a tight t-shirt and inserted implants so I could see what it would be like with tight clothes on. He also did a quick ultrasound to check my chest cavity and told me the range of implant sizes that I could get (it was 300ccs or something but I don't remember the exact number!) Told me I could go from A-> C or D Cup! I opted for the biggest implant that could fit me

Surgery day: My surgery time was in the morning and I fasted for 8 hours beforehand and it was going to be under general anesthesia. Met with the doctor before going into the operating room and he drew on me and explained what he was going to do, where the incision is going to be etc. I had inframmamary incision (breast fold) with Motiva implants. There were other cheaper implants available but Motiva was the best in terms of texture.
Anyways I was called into the operating threatre and the anesthesiologist came in and asked me a few questions and I was out! When I woke up I was in the recovery room and there was pain at first but it gradually went away and my breasts felt really heavy and tight. I also had dry mouth due to GA and felt a bit dizzy and nauseous. I saw the doctor a few hours after and he said everything went well. I stayed overnight and I am glad I did as moving around was a bit hard as my breasts were heavy and getting up was a big issue!! It was hard not to put too much pressure on the breasts while getting up, so help was needed lol. They gave me pumpkin porridge to help reduce swelling but didn't eat that much of it.

The next day I got discharged with medication and I walked very slowly. My breasts felt really heavy when I walk and getting up (using my upper half of the body) was very hard. There were literally no pain just uncomfortable and heavy breasts. I don't really know how to describe it, it's not pain but very heavy and tight feeling in the chestm kinda like after extreme exercise or something. Doing everyday things was okay, and I could walk around and do daily chore, etc. But sleeping on my back and keeping my chest high while I sleep was an issue. It really hurts your back and neck. And OMG getting up in the morning was just hell.. You literally need someone to pull you up from the bed or you roll to your side and get up using your arm strength lol. Its a circus getting up from your bed! It really feels like two rocks are on your chest preventing me from getting up. And the first few days getting up from the bed was really hard.But as the day passed, it got a lot better and "lighter".

Other than that nothing special happened. My breasts were still firm and tight to touch. I didn't have to wear that "granny" specialized surgical bra post-op, just the upper bandage which was a relif! My nipples are still very sensitive and I hate sleeping on my back (I am a side sleeper!) but I love that I have curves now! Its super exciting! The breasts still look very swollen, I saw on other forums that they call this Frankenstein boobs and it so fits that description lol. The doctor said that the swelling will go down within a few weeks and I am walking around slowly to reduce swelling faster.

It's been one week and I went to the clinic to remove the tape on my incision area and now I am able to shower! Yes! I got after-care treatment which included light therapy and LCL treatment to reduce swelling in my arms, belly and breast, So far I am so happy with my results! I shall share my pics when my swelling goes down.

Let me know if you guys have any questions! And please leave any comments if you wish

 

I chose DA! I had my eyes done there and I liked their b&a and the consult with the breast doctor was really good. I had my surgery done on Wednesday! So its been like 5 days now! lol Will write up my review soon

 

Thanks for the detailed review. Love your b&a photos!! When did the scars in your armpit start to fade away? And when did the breasts become softer? I am getting mine done tomorrow and I know time needs to pass and recovery is slow but I want to know what to expect after surgery as much as possible lol

 

Thanks for the tip. I shall walk around a lot after my surgery if I have the energy to haha. My surgery is tomorow! Super excited right now!!! I shall come back and share my experience soon!

 

I heard pumpkin juice? pumpkin porridge? brings swelling down a lot lol I drank lots of pumpkin juice when I was recoverting after my double eyelid surgery lol. Koreans swear by it!

 

Thanks for the detailed review! Can I ask how your recovery was like after BA? Getting mine done this week and would love some input on what to expect after surgery lol

 

Great! Do they provide any after-care service? Heard there are some heat wave thing that they provide post-op. Has anybody heard about that or got it done in Korean clinics after their breast surgery?

 

Could you tell me when the implants got softer?? I am getting Motiva implants as well next week and I want to know when they become soft and natural after surgery. The doctors say it will take around a few months for them to settle down completely. Do you think thats the case with you as well??

 

Thanks for the review! Please update us on your progress. I am getting my BA done next week and I am reading over every review there is to prepare myself lol. Whats the silicone scar tape that you put on your incision area? Do the clinic provide you with those?? Does it help the scar heal better?

 

Thanks for the detailed write up!!!! This will def help for my BA post op Which is next week!!!! Eeeeek!!! Kept delaying it as my schedule kept changing but it is now settled!! Yay!! wish me luck! Will be reading your posts day by day to prepare! >.<

 

Hey! Lol I don't mind them using my photos. I am loving my results at the mo. I can't tell you the exact price but DA is pricey than other clinics that I visited. Grand had lots of bad reviews (someone died?) on this forum so I steered clear away from them and I am not sure about Banobagi but I liked DA. There were some positive reviews on this forum regarding eye surgery and my results came out good so no complains there! Good luck with your research. Its always good to have a face to face consult with them, as they tell you a cheaper price compared to online consults.

 

Looking forward to the review! Hope you are doing okay!

 

Hi! I am torn between DA (where I had my eyes done and they turned out pretty great, and the staff is really nice), Regen (great reviews on this forum!) and TL (also seen good review and b&a photo from one person who had their ba done). Shall decide after consulting with them all! When and where are you thinking of getting yours done??

 

So excited for you!! Cannot wait to get mine done!! >.< I seriously don't wanna wear the granny bra lol did you wear an upper bandage to tighten the upper body as well?? I read somewhere that its due to the skills of the doctor that you wear the functional bra and upper bandages but that may be true or false.. You have a cleavage already?? Lol so jealous! what size are you now??

 

I am so glad your surgery went well!!! When did the pain/discomfort stop for you?? How are you feeling now? Are you still wearing the "functional" bra they tell you to wear??

 

I am also planning to get BA done maybe end of Jan! Motiva implants are my top option right now! seeing your b&a photos I am more excited than ever!! May I ask how much you paid and what incision area you chose? How was the recovery like??

 

I am also interested in getting BA done in Korea. The price is really cheap!! What implants did you get and how was the recovery process like? Did you do it by underarm incision??

 

Thank you always for your kind feedback! much appreciated!

 

I am thinking of getting BA done, can anyone recommend other implants such as Natrelle, Mentor, etc.. other than Motiva?
Korean clinics do tend to sell you towards Motiva, as it is soft to touch but I want implants that are FDA approved. Any recommendations or comments would be wonderful! (And also recommendations of Korean clinics would be the best!) Thanks!!!!!!!!!
