Quality of breast augmentation compared to US?

[cloeydobbs]

I am in Canada. I was going to go to the US to get my breasts done but I started looking into other options and now I am considered Korea. 

I am just wondering how these surgeries compare to the US/west. Are there different practices? Are there better quality results?

The quality is on par with the US, and in same cases better. Overall it is better imo. 

You end up spending up to 50% less money for the same quality but many Korean clinics also have more comprehensive aftercare that is included in the total cost. Things like lymphatic massage, scar treatment, and stem cell therapy can be included in the package which is amazing. You will be hard-pressed to find this sort of thing included for free in the US!

I have heard of them feeling and looking more natural when done in Korea because they focus more on shape and body symmetry. 

That is VERY important for any sort of implant surgery.

This is what I hear and also have read online. You will either get as good of a job or better. I find their aftercare to be above and beyond compared to the US, Canada, etc. so I would absolutely choose Korea if I were getting breast implants.

So they actually take the time to look at your entire body? I just assumed they would look at the shoulders and chest size and go from there. This is interesting. It does sound like they take more time to actually make sure their clients are happy.

I think the most impressive part is indeed the aftercare. I don't see any other place doing what they do. The only comparison is dental work in Mexico.

This is what I have heard, yes! Some clinics will do pictures and adjust them to show you want it would look like from various angles. It makes it easier to get an idea of what you'd see when looking in the mirror.
