Review of Consultation

Q. Why did I choose Breast Augmentation in Korea? (Consultation Review)

Last year I went to another clinic for a consultation and they literally made me wait in a thin gown in the lobby for an hour with no explanation… it was honestly traumatizing.
So when I visited View Plastic Surgery Korea, the difference was huge. The lobby and consultation rooms were separated, so I didn’t feel exposed or awkward at all.

The doctor was running 30–40 minutes late because of surgery, but the staff told me right away and let me wait comfortably in the consultation room. We even chatted casually about Korean plastic surgery like friends, so the time went by super fast and I didn’t feel nervous anymore.

I’m the type of person who doesn’t research much beforehand, so I went in knowing almost nothing about breast augmentation in Korea, but the doctor explained everything in such a clear, friendly way that I understood immediately.
The consultant also said the doctor is “really sweet,” and she was right. I felt safe asking even the most basic questions.
Overall, the whole vibe made me trust this Seoul plastic surgery clinic right away.

3 Days Post-Op Review

Q. What was my recovery like on Day 3 after Breast Augmentation?

By Day 2, I was already doing light housework because I had almost no real pain.
On Day 3, I finally slept comfortably too. My chest felt heavy and tight, but it was totally manageable.

The worst part was the compression bandage—it felt stiff, tight, and a bit suffocating. On Day 4, I went back to the clinic to get it removed. The doctor personally came to check my chest carefully and gave me an upper band instead. There was also a small irritated spot on my back from the bandage, and as soon as the staff mentioned it, the doctor checked it right away. That level of detail and care really impressed me.

Even though it was only the recovery after breast augmentation in Korea and still early, the shape already looked pretty. I just wanted the swelling to go down faster so I could move around more freely again. Every time I visited, everything moved quickly with almost no long waiting, which is perfect for impatient people like me.

1 Week Post-Op Review

Q. How was my 1-Week Post-Op check after Breast Surgery in Korea?

About one week after surgery, I went in to get my stitches removed. I was really nervous because when I had eyelid surgery, removing the stitches hurt a lot.

This time, I honestly didn’t feel anything.

The doctor explained how to shower, how to care for the incision, which movements to avoid, and what to watch out for. I basically had no pain unless I raised my arms too high. The implants were still a little firm, but already softer than the week before, and most of my sensation had returned except at the very bottom of the breast.

2 Weeks Post-Op Review

Q. What changed by Week 2 after my Korean Breast Augmentation?

By Week 2, I could clearly feel that the swelling had gone down compared to the first week, and the shape looked rounder and softer.

I work at a café, so if I move too much or overuse my arms, I sometimes feel a bit of tightness. But when I wear the upper band and rest for a while, it gets better quickly.

I also measured my size at a store and came out as 80E, which still feels surreal. I’m keeping up with moisturizing and scheduled another follow-up with the doctor two weeks later.

3 Weeks Post-Op Review

Q. How did Week 3 of my recovery feel?

I can’t believe it was already 3 weeks since my breast augmentation in Korea.
Up until the previous week, the swelling made the shape look a bit stiff and unnatural, but at some point it suddenly turned into a cute, round shape.

The overall feel is softer now—not exactly like natural breasts yet, but getting closer. When I asked my boyfriend and friends about the softness, they said it feels like a soft stress ball or a very firm jelly, which made me laugh but feels accurate.

I don’t really have pain anymore, except for a bit of discomfort if I bend forward too quickly or run and everything bounces. I’m already excited for the 3-month mark so I can start wearing prettier bras again.

1 Month Post-Op Review

Q. What were my results like at 1 Month after Breast Augmentation?

Around 1 month after surgery, I barely felt any pain at all.
Before surgery, my chest shape was quite pointy, so when the swelling was at its worst, it looked very stiff and hard. Now both my boyfriend and I think the shape looks much more natural.

The sensation in my lower breast slowly started to return, and the sensitivity I used to feel right after taking off my bra disappeared. The implants have softened a lot, to the point where I can gently massage them without discomfort.

The scar is still red because it hasn’t been long since the glue completely came off, so I’m diligently applying scar ointment and taking care of it.

2 Months Post-Op Review

Q. How did things feel at 2 Months after Breast Surgery in Korea?

At 2 months post-op, I didn’t have any pain in my daily life or at work. The only time I notice anything is when I run and feel the chest move more heavily.

I thought all of my sensation had returned, but I realized the area from the middle of the nipple down toward the lower breast was still a bit numb. After my follow-up care session, the swelling and softness continued to improve.

The scar still has some redness, so I know I have to keep managing it steadily.

3 Months Post-Op Review

Q. What were my 3-Month results? Was it worth getting Breast Augmentation in Korea?

At 3 months, I finally went to Calvin Klein to buy regular bras. Their largest size was a D cup, and it was still a little small on me, but the design was so pretty that I bought it anyway.

Before surgery, even a little movement made everything spill out of my bra, and I had to keep adjusting and pulling things back in. Now, I always have cleavage. Honestly, that alone makes me so happy.

I can also sleep on my side comfortably again.
The upper part of my breasts is super soft now, and the lower part feels pretty similar to how it did at 2 months.

The scar isn’t completely gone yet, so there’s still some redness, but I’m taking care of it carefully. Seeing how natural everything looks now, I really feel like I chose one of the best breast augmentation clinics in Seoul. The result turned out even better than the Korean breast augmentation before and after photos I used to search online.
