Pre-Surgery Consultation at View Plastic Surgery, Seoul
I’m a woman in my early 30s who has had a complex about my small chest for as long as I can remember. Ever since my early 20s, I desperately wanted breast augmentation surgery in Korea, but back then I was scared, and the cost felt overwhelming, so I kept telling myself, “I’ll definitely do it someday.” Then, out of nowhere, that urge hit me again and I decided: I can’t keep putting this off.I jumped online and started searching for Korean plastic surgery clinics in Seoul.
The first one that caught my eye was View Plastic Surgery. I thought, at the very least I’ll go in for a consultation and before I knew it, I’d already made the booking.When I walked in for the first time, I was genuinely surprised. The clinic occupies an entire building, and everything about it felt professional and well-organized exactly what you’d hope for when choosing a clinic for breast implants in Korea. A receptionist guided me through check-in, I had an initial consultation with the clinic manager, and then waited to meet the surgeon.It was my first breast consultation ever, and I was both nervous and embarrassed but the staff were so kind and approachable that I quickly felt at ease.
The surgeon assessed my frame and chest size, recommended suitable implants, and we even tested different sizer implants together so I could visualize the result before committing. That hands-on process made the decision so much easier.Curious after the consultation, I looked up the surgeon’s YouTube channel and past patient reviews. The results I found looked consistently excellent and so I made up my mind. I was going ahead with the surgery at View Clinic Seoul.
Surgery Day & Early Recovery (Day 0–3)
The day finally arrived. Because I live outside Seoul, I came up the evening before & had what felt like a “last supper” — and despite being exhausted, the excitement kept me tossing and turning all night. I finally drifted off in the early hours of the morning.I washed my hair thoroughly before heading in, knowing it’d be difficult to shower for a while after surgery. I took a taxi from my nearby accommodation. If you’re traveling to a Korean plastic surgery clinic during rush hour, I’d honestly recommend the subway — Seoul traffic can be brutal.
Back at the clinic, the surgeon went over my desired shape one more time, we confirmed the implant type and size, and I was able to ask any remaining questions. Then I changed into a gown — and the next thing I knew, the surgery was over.I was barely conscious in recovery, but I remember asking the nurse, “Did it go well?” — even half-asleep, that was my first thought. I was moved to a recovery room and felt better quite quickly. The surgeon said everything had gone smoothly, noting that because axillary tissue had also been removed, I might experience more soreness in that area. After resting, I collected my prescriptions from the pharmacy downstairs and headed home.The discomfort was mostly a tight, heavy feeling in the chest. Interestingly, I had almost no bruising outside the accessory breast removal area — which genuinely impressed me given the scope of the procedure.
One Week Post-Op: First Follow-Up
A whole week has already passed. From days three and four onward, the major discomfort had largely faded. Changing clothes or lifting my arms too high still caused some aching, and the nipple area was a bit sensitive if rubbed against fabric — but otherwise I was feeling good.Today was my one-week follow-up at View Plastic Surgery Seoul.
The surgeon checked the shape and said everything looked great. The adhesive tape was removed — incredibly refreshing — and I was cleared for light showering. He also said I’d be able to start wearing a V-fit bra from the following week.Hearing the surgeon confirm that everything had gone well was genuinely reassuring — even when you feel fine, you need that confirmation. I booked my next appointment and headed home feeling lighter. The bruising and swelling are still present, but comparing photos I can already see progress.
Two Weeks: Back to Work & First Aftercare Session
Once I hit the two-week mark, things started moving much faster. The major pain is largely gone and my body feels noticeably lighter. I even went back to work — since I have a desk job, it was completely fine.On the way to my check-up, I stopped to buy the V-fit bra the surgeon had recommended. Because there’s still some swelling and the bra runs large, I ended up in a 75G — a first for me. Honestly? It felt amazing just to see that on the tag.
At the clinic, the surgeon injected a softening solution into an area that had hardened, answered more of my questions, and removed another layer of tape. I also had my first CAPS aftercare treatment — about 15 minutes, a gentle tingling sensation — and my chest felt noticeably softer afterward. This treatment is said to accelerate healing and improve the final feel of breast implants after Korean plastic surgery.When I checked the incision site at home that evening, I was shocked by how clean it looked — barely visible at just two weeks out.
3 Weeks Post Surgery at View Plastic Surgery in Korea
1 Month Post Recovery : Breast Augmentation in Korea
Two Months: Feeling Like Myself Again
By this point, I’ve genuinely almost forgotten what life felt like before the surgery. The occasional tingling has completely stopped, I’m back to full daily activity, and the nipple sensitivity that bothered me most in the early weeks has fully resolved. Sensation has mostly returned, and the bruising has vanished.
The swelling has visibly reduced when I compare photos, and the firmness I felt in the early weeks has softened considerably. The regular CAPS aftercare sessions have made a real difference in both recovery speed and feel.
Getting dressed every morning is genuinely exciting now. I put on clothes I used to avoid, and the fit is completely different. This summer, for the first time in years, I feel genuinely confident in what I wear. Choosing breast augmentation in Seoul — and specifically at View Clinic — was the right decision for me.
Three Months: Summer Confidence
Three months in, and I’ve barely thought about the surgery — no pain, and sensation has returned to well over 90%. The bruising is completely gone, swelling almost fully resolved, and the feel is soft and natural with a slight bounce.
With summer in full swing, I went to an outdoor water festival with friends — wearing a supportive top over a shaping bra — and had absolutely no discomfort. I caught myself feeling quietly proud in photos in a way I never had before.
A friend who didn’t know I’d had surgery commented that I looked like I’d “lost weight but gained it all in the chest.” When I told her, she said she’d been wondering why my figure had changed so dramatically. One small, happy complaint: the added weight means my lower back gets a little tired after standing for a long time. A genuinely wonderful problem to have.
4 Months Post Surgery in Korea
Five Months: Back at the Gym & Growing Confidence
I’ve started going to the gym again — wanting to feel even better in my new body. Lower body workouts are completely fine, and upper body exercises only occasionally cause a very minor twinge if I engage the chest too forcefully. Before the surgery, I used to dread putting on workout clothes — my chest was so flat that even padded sports bras didn’t help. Now, I actually look forward to it. Catching my reflection mid-workout is a strange but genuinely wonderful feeling.
Friends who’ve seen and touched the result have described it as “firm and bouncy, like a woman in her 20s.” That might be my favorite compliment I’ve ever received. Several friends have said they’re seriously interested in Korea breast augmentation themselves, and I always point them toward View Plastic Surgery in Seoul. Five months out, my satisfaction is at an all-time high.
Six Months: Ultrasound Check & Scar Treatment
Half a year has passed. I still vividly remember lying in that recovery room wondering when the pain would stop. That feels like another lifetime now. Today’s six-month follow-up at View Clinic Seoul included an ultrasound scan and scar laser treatment. The ultrasound result was perfect — the implants are sitting exactly where they should be, with no complications. I brought a friend along, and she told me afterward that seeing my results had given her serious thoughts about breast augmentation in Korea herself.
The nurse praised my scar management and said it was healing beautifully. The laser treatment took only a few minutes and was completely painless. One unexpected bonus: my waist looks more defined and my arms appear slimmer simply because my proportions have shifted. A very welcome side effect of Korean plastic surgery that I hadn’t anticipated.

8 Months After Breast Surgery in Korea
Nine Months: Completely Natural, Completely Mine
Nine months. This is my final diary entry — and the message I most want to leave for anyone considering breast augmentation in Korea is this: the results you’re hoping for are absolutely achievable, and the recovery, while real, is temporary. At this point, no one who hasn’t been told would know I’d had surgery. The feel is soft and natural with realistic movement — something I couldn’t have imagined at the two-week mark. It feels completely like my own body now.
I wore an off-shoulder top out with friends recently — something I never would have considered before. I felt shy for about thirty seconds. Then just confident. For anyone researching Korean plastic surgery, medical tourism in Seoul, or simply wondering whether breast augmentation in Korea is worth it — I hope this diary has been useful. My answer, nine months on, is an emphatic yes. To the surgeon and the entire team at View Plastic Surgery Seoul: thank you, from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
