Review of Consultation

I didn’t know much about breast augmentation in Korea, and I was quite nervous when I walked into the clinic for my consultation. But the staff at VIEW Plastic Surgery Korea, one of the well-known clinics for breast augmentation in Korea, explained everything very kindly and step by step. It helped me understand the entire surgery process and the hospital system very easily.

Since VIEW has a large, specialized system and a dedicated breast consultation center, I could feel that they manage patients in a very organized and professional way.

When I previously consulted at another clinic outside Seoul, they only showed implant sizes through a simple 3D screen, so it was hard to imagine the real result. But at VIEW, the doctor discussed everything with me in detail, and I was able to actually try on implant sizers during the consultation. This hands-on sizing process helped me choose an implant that truly fit my body, and I was very satisfied. VIEW also provides a one-stop preoperative examination system, which made the entire preparation process smooth and reassuring.

3 Days Post-Op Review

Compared to the first day, the pain was much less and moving around became easier! Getting up, sitting down, and changing clothes were still a bit difficult, but washing my face and brushing my teeth were manageable.

My new breasts still felt unfamiliar and a little heavy, but it was definitely much better than the first day. I was able to eat by myself and even take short walks. I can’t wait to recover fully so I can wear pretty outfits again.

Another surprising thing was that the bruising and wounds were not as bad as I expected. Today the bandage was removed, and seeing my breasts properly for the first time was shocking but also satisfying because the size looked exactly how I wanted.

Once the bandage came off, the tightness disappeared, which felt great.
It’s only the third day, but I’m already getting excited. 👍🏻

1 Week Post-Op Review

After one week, I could do almost all daily activities. I was able to cook by myself and even carry light items. Since I had a lot of pain on the first day, I was worried recovery might be slow, but it improved much faster than I expected.

Even without any special aftercare yet, my condition kept getting better each day. VIEW Plastic Surgery has a very organized follow-up system, and simply visiting for check-ups made me feel safe throughout the process.

There was still some tightness in the armpit area, but I could use my arms freely. Bruising and swelling continued to improve, and the shape was settling nicely. Every time I visited the clinic, the doctors and nurses explained everything kindly and thoroughly, which helped me go through recovery without anxiety.

I was really scared before breast surgery, but the more time passes, the more satisfied I become. Thank you!

2 Weeks Post-Op Review

Even at two weeks, the shape and size already looked natural, and I was extremely happy. Before the surgery, I worried it might look too obvious, but I think I could even convince someone that this is my natural chest after a little more time.

After receiving ultrasound-based post-operative care, which starts around this time at VIEW Plastic Surgery, I felt a slightly sore, stabbing sensation, but afterward my chest felt noticeably softer. Bruising and swelling were almost gone.

The shape continued to settle naturally every day. My armpits still felt slightly tight, but as I managed the area with ointment and gentle care, it became more comfortable. Since it’s winter, wearing and taking off thick clothes was still a bit difficult, but basic daily life was completely fine—lifting light items, cleaning, cooking, everything.

As more time passes, I’m expecting it to feel even more natural and comfortable.

3 Weeks Post-Op Review

By three weeks, there was almost no pain or stinging sensation. Bruising had nearly disappeared, and swelling was decreasing quickly day by day. Even the texture felt softer compared to the first day. When I touched my chest, it still felt slightly firm, but the upper part was gradually getting softer.

There was almost no discomfort when moving my arms, and daily life was completely normal. Changing clothes or moving things around was easy too.

The shape was becoming prettier each day, and when I wore low-cut tops, the cleavage looked naturally defined, which made me choose that style more often—even in winter. Since I didn’t choose a very large size, it looked extremely natural. Once the texture softens even more, I don’t think anyone would guess I had surgery.

I’m honestly so satisfied.

1 Month Post-Op Review

I can’t believe a whole month has already passed. Looking back, the first day after surgery was the hardest, but everything after that went surprisingly smoothly.

Daily activities were easier than expected, and even though it was winter, I could use my arms freely. Sometimes I even forgot I had breast surgery. I haven’t gone back to full workouts yet, but light stretching and jogging were possible.

By one month, the breast shape looked very natural, and the texture kept getting softer. Most of the swelling had gone down, and the size and shape matched my body well.

There was almost no discomfort. In the beginning, I felt shoulder and back pain from suddenly having larger breasts, but now everything feels completely natural. Sleeping is comfortable, and touching my chest doesn’t cause any pain.

People always say “time is the key” for breast augmentation, and I finally understand—it truly does make everything better. I’m already looking forward to summer. 😀

2 Months Post-Op Review

By two months, I sometimes forgot I even had breast surgery because daily life felt completely normal. The shape settled beautifully and naturally. In the early days, swelling made it hard to imagine the final result, but after two months, the line and size looked much more refined.

I originally told the doctor I didn’t want overly large breasts. But as the swelling went down, I sometimes thought, “Maybe a little bigger would’ve been okay,” haha—just a bit of greed, I guess.

What satisfied me most was the overall breast shape. It looked round, full, and feminine. I couldn’t wait to wear a swimsuit with a deeper neckline. The cleavage looked natural too, so these days I enjoy wearing tops with lower necklines.

If I don’t tell someone, they would never guess I had breast augmentation. My clothes fit beautifully thanks to the subtle volume.

Daily life was completely fine—I could raise and lower my arms without trouble. Occasionally, I felt a light tingling sensation, but compared to the beginning, it barely happened. Touching my chest didn’t cause any pain, and the texture kept getting softer. I even found myself touching it often because it felt so natural.

I worried so much before surgery, but I really didn’t need to. This surgery is making me look forward to summer so much. 💛

3 Months Post-Op Review

By three months, I could feel that the tissue had relaxed a lot. It was firm before, but now the texture felt much softer and more natural. The shape also continued to become more natural, and it no longer looked like a surgical result.

Since scar care starts around three months, I began managing that area carefully as instructed. The overall shape, size, and texture felt like my own body at this stage.

I recently started a new job, which increased my activity level, so I was worried it might affect my chest. But I had no pain or discomfort at all—lifting objects and raising my arms were completely fine. Around three months, it truly felt like I fully returned to normal daily life.

The natural volume is what I love the most.

What’s amazing is how it keeps getting even more natural over time. Before the surgery, I worried a lot about pain, complications, and whether the shape might look unnatural. But now that I’m at the three-month mark, I wonder why I worried so much. Everything is comfortable, and my satisfaction is extremely high.
