Hey there, I’m Eun Kyung, a graphic designer from Portland. For years, I’ve felt a quiet insecurity about my body, specifically my breasts. I have micromastia, meaning they never fully developed. It wasn’t a huge medical crisis, but it certainly impacted my self-confidence and how I felt in my own skin. Clothes never quite fit right, and I always felt a little… incomplete.
I'd looked into breast augmentation here in the US, but the costs were astronomical, easily double what I could afford. Plus, the thought of long wait times and a somewhat impersonal experience really put me off. I wanted something more personal, more caring.
That's when I started exploring medical tourism. South Korea kept popping up in my research – their reputation for natural results and excellent patient care was truly impressive. But the sheer amount of information was overwhelming.
Then I found PlacidWay. They were a game-changer. I filled out their form, and soon after, Sarah, a wonderful representative, called me.
"Sarah listened to my concerns with such empathy. She truly understood what I was looking for, not just medically, but emotionally too."
She walked me through everything, from potential clinics to estimated costs. She suggested VG Plastic Surgery in Seoul, and the price she quoted – around $7,500 – made it feel truly achievable.
My trip to Seoul was made so much easier by PlacidWay. They arranged everything, including my pick-up from the airport. The moment I walked into VG Plastic Surgery, I felt at ease. The clinic was beautiful, and the staff were incredibly professional. My PlacidWay-arranged interpreter was invaluable, making sure every conversation with Dr. Im Young Min was clear.
Dr. Im Young Min was fantastic. He took his time explaining the procedure, showing me 3D simulations of the results. It was amazing to see my dreams come to life on screen.
"Dr. Im Young Min wasn't just a surgeon; he was an artist. He made me feel confident that he could achieve the natural, balanced look I craved."
The surgery went smoothly, and my recovery was comfortable, thanks to the attentive nurses at VG Plastic Surgery. I spent about two weeks healing in Seoul, slowly exploring the vibrant city as I recovered. It was a peaceful and transformative time.
Coming home, I felt like a new person. My body finally felt balanced and complete. The results were incredibly natural, exactly what I hoped for. I now have a newfound confidence that I carry with me every day.
"PlacidWay truly made this journey possible. They were my guide and my support system, connecting me with top-tier care at an affordable price. I can't thank them enough."
If you're considering medical tourism, especially for something as personal as breast implants, I highly recommend PlacidWay. They made a complex process feel simple, safe, and entirely supported. It was a life-changing experience.
