It has been about half a month since I had surgery at a hospital.
Before the surgery, I visited exactly 15 places over the course of a month and a half...
It was to the point where I thought I could become a plastic surgery director.
I realized that footwork was closer to filtering out hospitals that didn't fit rather than finding a hospital I liked.
Are there many cases of side effects? There are a lot of questions! There is no hospital that answers this question.
Instead, I think there is more that can be understood from the context of words than you think.
I am writing a few words in the hope that it will help those who have not yet had surgery make a decision.
Below are comments from the director that made me think, 'I need to get out of this hospital right away' while I was visiting the hospital.
1. “I’m in trouble these days because of my bottom loss.”
I have constricted breasts. Each hospital came up with a different solution to this.
Some hospitals said they would shape the mammary tissue, while others said they could shape it without touching the mammary tissue.
The reason was ‘double wrinkles’. There was concern that, in cases where the existing incised line was clear, two breast wrinkles could form along with the new incised line. The likelihood of these double wrinkles occurring increases as the bottom line goes down.
If you lower the bottom line too much, another problem is 'missing the bottom line'. The further down the line you go, the more serious this problem becomes.
I visited hospital A, and this hospital said they would lower the bottom line by 3 centimeters from my existing bottom line. I think they thought that because they simply considered the position of the nipple. At the same time, this hospital did not allow me to kneel. The reason was because “everyone is in an uproar these days because of bottomlessness.” On the other hand, most other hospitals said there was less need to worry about falling behind. When I think about it now, I think Hospital A made a lot of undercuts, and it was inevitable that undercuts would be common due to this.
At the hospital I worked at, they said they would lower my size by 1 cm and allow it to go down 0.5 cm naturally. And in the end, I'm happy with how it looks now. I think it would have been too low if it had been lowered 3 cm. I think there was a lot of concern about falling short.
-> If you have similar characteristics to me, it would be a good idea to ask how many inches you plan to lower your bottom line.
2. “This is all experience. I’m not shy.” “I don’t know if this is right as I tear my chest muscles all the time
.” In fact, I sometimes think of the director of hospital B. I wonder what kind of heart he had that could have said such a thing. The director was a very bright and humorous person, but it only added to our anxiety.
This is the hospital I went to when I was considering subfascial and dual plane treatment. He was opposed to subfascial surgery, and showed me a photo of a patient who had surgery at Hospital B. Even when I saw it, I thought it would be very upsetting. The situation was more serious than I thought due to the location of the breasts and the extent to which the implants were visible.
However, when I was embarrassed after seeing this patient's photo, the director said, "I am not at all embarrassed to show you a case of failure like this. This is all experience. I just need to learn." I was really surprised inside. What if I become another ‘failure case from which we can learn’? It seems that Director Lee first judged whether the treatment would be helpful to him rather than the patient's upset feelings.
Also, when I mentioned subfascial and said that tearing the pectoralis major muscle was burdensome, he said, "I'm not sure if this is right as I tear my pectoral muscle all the time." Although I said it as a joke, it was the worst comment from the patient's point of view. I think you should have at least a sense of responsibility as a doctor. He had a lot of experience and was a name I saw often, so I went there, but I was surprised and came back.
