Motiva Breast Augmentation: 10-Week Progress

I had my surgery in January with Director Lee Jae-soo at Next Plastic Surgery.

I'm writing this post to document my 10-week progress and to share information with anyone who might find it helpful.

The major swelling in my breasts seemed to have mostly subsided after about 7 weeks.

While not yet completely soft, they are gradually transitioning from feeling firm to feeling more like my own tissue.

Initially, they didn't feel like my own, and I couldn't even feel any sensation.

However, there's still some residual swelling when I touch them, and the same goes for the area where my accessory breast tissue was removed.

They're not yet as soft as I'd like.

Still, at first, they were incredibly firm, like bouncy balls, which was a bit alarming.

But seeing them gradually soften and settle into place, I'm no longer worried that they'll stay that way.

I'm just taking it easy, without worry, with the mindset that ‘time heals all’.

The most exciting thing after surgery is, of course, bra shopping ~~

Since most of the major swelling seems to have gone down, I thought I'd start preparing for new lingerie.

I shopped for various bra designs, but perhaps because I bought them online, the sizes seem quite small.

I had asked the director multiple times before the surgery to make sure I'd be a full C-cup, but the C-cups feel small.

It seems I'll probably need a D-cup at this point...

Director Lee Jae-soo said that with Motiva 300, it would likely increase by about two cup sizes.

It looks like I'll go from a small AA to a beautiful C or D cup.

The hospital also told me that this is the period when scars start to get itchy.

Honestly, the itching bothers me more than any pain.

I've had almost no pain.

I'm trying to stay focused so I don't unconsciously scratch whenever it gets itchy.

I'll diligently apply my regenerating cream and make sure not to lose my mind and scratch vigorously.

I went to the hospital last week for a follow-up check-up,

and the director said that both my recovery and progress were good. Haha.

He also said that the armpit incision scar had healed well, and at this rate,

it would be almost invisible starting next year.

Even if it's visible, he said it would be hard for me to distinguish whether it's a scar or a wrinkle, so I shouldn't worry about the incision area. Haha.

When I took pictures, there was a slight mark from the scar,

but it's just a fine line, without any swelling or thickening like hypertrophic scarring.

Of course, it will fade even more than it is now, so I don't think there's any need to worry.

My breast shape has also settled down considerably.

I was really worried about whether it would eventually drop this much. There were rumors about ‘loaf of bread’ breasts, but those people also advised that after just 7 weeks, the ‘loaf of bread’ look would disappear. You might have upper pole fullness until 7 weeks, but don't worry.

Trust your surgeon; they planned everything and placed them in the right position.

I was a patient who was a bit distrustful and pestered the hospital quite a bit, but I think others don't need to be like that.

Later, when you're satisfied with the shape and go for follow-ups, you might feel a little apologetic, and it can be awkward with the nurses or consultation manager.

Last week, I went on a ‘hocance’ (hotel vacation) with my friends,

and my friends said that with bigger breasts, I looked slimmer and more delicate.

They said, ‘This makes me suddenly want to get breast surgery...’ They were incredibly envious,

and marvelled at the greatness of plastic surgery's power.

For about a month and a half, I worried about everything: scars, feel, shape, and so on.

All those worries were futile; most surgeries turn out very well.

An older friend I know also had several surgeries at Next,

and everyone is satisfied and living well, and they all say they'd get breast surgery at Next again even if they were reborn.

It would be great to be born with large breasts, but even if you have small breasts, there's a way, so it's okay, they say~~

Now, I have no worries at all; I'm just satisfied.

Time passes naturally, and my progress is getting better even without any effort on my part.

Because of this one breast surgery, I look forward to tomorrow, and a happy future is unfolding.

Indeed, breast augmentation seems to be the best among plastic surgeries.
