Key takeaways
Mentor Classic (textured) breast augmentation case: scoliosis caused uneven breasts, and postpartum breastfeeding left them deflated. After an assessment with Dr. Kuo-Chun Liao and a 3D simulation, she chose textured implants that don't need frequent massage. Her breasts felt heavy at first but she adjusted within days. She had to sleep on her back during recovery and could return daily for recovery IV drips.

"Long-term scoliosis pressed on my breast tissue and left my breasts uneven, and after breastfeeding for a month after giving birth, they shrank too. Besides having no confidence in clothes, I worried that by the time I'm old they'd be nothing but skin..."
I'm Joanna. I really wanted breast augmentation, but there are lots of failed cases online that look fake or unnatural, so I felt I had to carefully find a skilled doctor to avoid that. Luckily implants and techniques keep improving, so as long as you find the right doctor, there's not much to worry about.
Two key reasons I chose Mentor breast augmentation
I didn't choose fat transfer because I'm quite slim, the amount of fat that can be added is limited, and it's easily metabolized and lost, so I went with implants. I chose Mentor because my research online showed that Mentor was the only implant on the market with US FDA approval, and it's the most widely used brand, with plenty of stability and safety. There are newer implants, but newest doesn't mean best; stability and safety matter more. And since I like a bouncy feel and didn't want frequent massage after surgery, I chose Mentor Classic (textured).
A visual 3D simulation for more peace of mind before surgery
Before my breast augmentation, I used NAISS CLINIC's 3D simulation. With this system you can see visually, before surgery, how your breasts will look afterward. I didn't have to worry about ending up looking strange, and I went into surgery with more peace of mind.
No worries about the surgery, just excited to get bigger breasts
On surgery day I wasn't nervous at all; I was really looking forward to it, because I could finally change and finally have bigger breasts! Pain is temporary but beauty lasts a lifetime, and I was so excited for the change. When the anesthesia wore off, my breasts were bigger and felt heavy and unfamiliar at first, but I got used to it in a few days. Daily life wasn't really affected, except that I had to sleep on my back and couldn't sleep on my side and press on the incisions.
It's been about eight months since my Mentor breast augmentation, and I give it a high 9.5, because NAISS CLINIC's aftercare is excellent. Whenever I have a question, the staff reply right away and I can book a follow-up immediately. After surgery you can come back every day for a recovery IV drip, which speeds healing and reduces pain. They don't abandon you once the surgery is done; compared with other aesthetic clinics, NAISS CLINIC is especially thoughtful about this!
Two clear changes Mentor breast augmentation brought
After Mentor breast augmentation, I noticed two clear changes! First, a big boost in confidence. I'm very happy with my figure in the mirror, my proportions look better, and I have far more choice in clothes; I'm no longer limited to padded styles and can easily pull off sexy outfits. Second, my husband loves the result, and it's added more spark to our relationship. We're even a little worried we might end up with a second child by accident!
Three reasons I chose NAISS CLINIC
I chose NAISS CLINIC for my Mentor breast augmentation for three main reasons:
First, NAISS CLINIC is certified by Mentor and stocks a full range of implant sizes, so you're never forced to go a size up or down because the clinic doesn't carry the cc the doctor recommends.
Second, NAISS CLINIC has plastic surgeons who see patients on site, so you don't have to worry about not finding your surgeon at follow-ups, and you can book a follow-up whenever you have a concern. It feels much more reassuring.
Third, the moment I walked into NAISS CLINIC it felt very warm. Every staff member greeted me kindly, and even before I'd decided to have surgery there, they were friendly and welcoming. I felt valued, which made me want to choose NAISS CLINIC all the more.
Investing in yourself always pays off!
To anyone else considering breast augmentation, I'd suggest combining implants with fat transfer. The transferred fat adds a protective layer over the breast, reduces visible implant edges and makes the result look more natural.
When choosing an aesthetic clinic, the first thing is to look at their cases. Past work shows the doctor's techniques and sense of aesthetics, so you can judge whether they can meet your expectations. Safety, skilled doctors and manufacturer certification are also worth weighing, but I think aftercare matters most. Even if capsular contracture or another problem comes up, at least the clinic will help you deal with it, whereas having nowhere to turn would feel far more helpless.
As for timing your breast augmentation, if you're planning to have a baby soon, you can wait until after breastfeeding and weaning. But if you're a young woman who wants clothes to look better and to feel more confident in photos, really do it early. Breast augmentation techniques and implants have advanced a lot, so there's little need to worry about a bowl-shaped or unnatural result. Trust that investing in yourself always pays off!
