It took about a month to make up my mind about surgery and decide on a hospital. Fortunately, like many people who have had successful surgery, I am satisfied with the hospital I chose.
For those who are afraid because it is their first time having surgery, I will explain the criteria for choosing the hospital. Please understand even if I write without words.
I chose 5-6 places out of my own hand and consulted with them all in person before making a decision. I remember looking into hospitals that felt more like a factory than I thought, or hospitals that didn't have CCTV in the operating room. The most important thing to me was that I complete the surgery safely, so no matter how famous it was or how good the reviews were, I only filtered out hospitals unless they were classified as plastic surgery (I couldn't help but cry). I think they prioritized hospitals based on things like how accurately the consulting doctor explained things and what they would do if there were any side effects. After that, they also looked at things like price range and additional benefits.
My first priority is to perform the surgery safely.
Of the three hospitals I was considering until the end, I chose my current hospital and there was a hospital that I was always disappointed with, but that hospital disappeared two years later;;
The hospital where I had the surgery has expanded and seems to be doing better.
They provide ultrasound services every year, so I made an appointment until last year and went to see the ultrasound. Each time, when I asked questions, they were less friendly than before the surgery, but they answered everything, so I still think I chose the right hospital.
As you can see from other surgery reviews, I also experienced similar things like hot flashes and muscle pain in the beginning. . However, even though I had a sore arm, I didn't really feel any bruises, so I heard a lot of people who were exchanging reviews at the time saying I was lucky. I heard that there is a big difference in pain depending on how skilled you are when using chest room for the first time.
I was very satisfied until the first 2~3 years.
In the summer, I think it was a big problem that I didn't wear a silicone nub bra that was heavier than my chest and that it made my clothes fit even if I just put on nipple patches.
For reference, I have a 70' ribcage and fit 345/325cc on both sides, and I heard that it would be about a full D size. However, after the surgery, the size was 70F.
To be honest, it may be because the center of gravity has changed as much as the breast size, so it is a bit difficult when exercising. I think it is because of the feeling of a foreign body.
These days, I am regretting having taken the size 325/300.
I always lived with pain in the back of my neck, so I thought it was just me. Looking at some of the reviews, it seems like there are often people like me. Of course, there is also a feeling of a foreign body. When I first consult, they say that I will regret less if I make it bigger, but I think it is best to go a moderately large size according to my rib cage size.
And unlike other people, I have skin allergies.
There are hospitals that prescribe oral medications called capsular contracture drugs. Most people seem to be saying that they don't have to take it, and I've seen a lot of people who don't take it even after being prescribed it, but if I didn't have this medicine, I would have taken it right away because of the itchiness. I still experience the phenomenon of skin itchiness suddenly rising and then subsiding once a day. It's not as bad as the first time, so I don't have to take medication, but it's hard to imagine what it would have been like if it weren't for the contracture medicine in the beginning.
I heard that the side effect that occurs in people who have a small ribcage but have a large size or have thin skin is a rippling phenomenon inside the chest. I think it's because it's bigger. The skin on the inside of my breasts, which was made larger, is a little lumpy when I touch it, but I feel pain sometimes, and the hospital hasn't given me any indication of rupture or need for reoperation, so I'm just staying with it.

, but I'm not good at writing
,
but I think I wrote too long, so I summarized it, but if I can help you with the pros and cons I've experienced, I'll reply.
I've been thinking about having a second surgery to reduce the size for a while. If anyone is satisfied, I would be very grateful if you could leave a review.
