Growing up, I had always been insecure about how small my breasts were. I had often thought about getting breast augmentation surgery, but I was scared of going under the knife and worried about the cost. I moved to Korea from the US in my early 20s and would look up plastic surgery clinics, but I never found one that I liked. Then, as my 30th birthday approached, I finally found the perfect clinic. Seojin Plastic Surgery (서진성형외과) stood out amongst the hoards of plastic surgery clinics in Seoul.

First of all, the facilities are not only clean, but they’re also aesthetically beautiful. The warm lighting makes you feel welcome while also taking away the feeling that you’re in a hospital. Second of all, they are very patient with you as you go through the consultation process. They are so informative, allowing you to try each implant size on (in a sports bra) and by using their 3D modeling technology to show you an approximation of what the results will look like. Thirdly, Dr. Lee Hyeong-min (이형민원장님) was very sweet and gentle. At first, I was a little wary because he is a male doctor, but he made me feel very safe and cared for. Lastly, the follow-up care is unheard of. They have you come in for follow-up appointments to check how you’re healing and to offer therapy that aids in your healing process.

During my consultation, I told them I wanted a natural look and a natural feel. I decided on Motiva Mini (모티바 미니) - their best-selling implant brand. These implants are filled with gel to provide that natural look, and they’re reasonably priced!! They asked if I wanted to have them insert them through an incision in my armpits or an incision underneath my breasts, and they asked if I wanted to have them insert it over or under the muscle layer. After hearing their thorough explanation on the pros and cons of all my options, I decided on having them insert the implants underneath my breasts and underneath the muscle.

I could not be more satisfied. I felt absolutely no pain following surgery, and the only discomfort I felt was from not being able to go bra-less for a month. For the first month, I was worried they looked too big. But as the swelling went down over the 3 months following surgery, they became more and more natural-looking. It has now been over 6 months and my breasts now have that natural teardrop/ski slope shape and yet still look perky! The scars have faded to the point where I can barely see them, and to top it off, I have absolutely zero stretch marks. I highly recommend Seojin Plastic Surgery!!

I've been to Seojin a few times before and hve had a spectacular experience every time, so i knew ! wanted to come back for a surgery that is an important as this one. Doctor Lee is super nice and meticulous about everything, and the staff are always super welcoming. I was honestly pretty nervous, but felt a lot better after seeing the design and talking with Doctor Lee about the whole process. It's only been one week since the surgery but I can already tell that it's exactly what I wanted!
After my firsy visit, they even gave me a brochure detailing how many hairs were taken from where and by who. I'm looking forward to going back next week and the week after to finish the recovery program!
