Mentor Classic (Smooth) Breast Augmentation Story: Finally, Cleavage in a Bikini! Goodbye Flat Chest, Hello Confidence

Attending doctorDr. Kuo-Chun Liao Published Updated 3 min read

Key takeaways

Mentor Classic (smooth) breast augmentation case: small breasts, with no results from massage, diet or breast-enhancement products. After an assessment with Dr. Kuo-Chun Liao, she chose soft smooth implants through an incision in the breast fold to limit the impact on the hand movements her job requires. Pain was minimal, mainly chest tightness and soreness, which eased noticeably after painkiller injections at follow-ups in the first week.

"I'm Sandy, I'm 23, and I'm a hairstylist. I tried many ways to make my breasts bigger (massage, diet, breast-enhancement creams and so on), but nothing helped. I love strapless and strappy tops, but I never had any cleavage in them, and I felt very insecure..."

Young as I am, I'd been set on breast augmentation since my early teens

Since my early teens I'd thought I'd get breast augmentation when I grew up. I was always a bit scared, but friends had had it, and prices might keep rising, so I thought I'd get a consultation. Online I'd seen some people's augmented breasts look fake and unnatural, but I think fake still looks better than nothing, and I can wear the clothes I like.

Choosing an implant: implants or my own fat?

Transferred fat gets partly absorbed and only adds one or two cups, which wouldn't give me the result I wanted, so I chose implants. After feeling all of them I chose Mentor Classic (smooth), because I find it very soft with natural movement. Mentor Classic (smooth) needs massage after surgery, but I already had a massage habit, so that's no big deal for me. I chose an incision in the breast fold because my job involves a lot of hand and arm movement, so the breast fold affects work and daily life less.

I almost bolted right before surgery!?

From the consultation until a few days before surgery I wasn't nervous at all; I felt quite brave because I was so excited about how I'd look. But the moment I actually entered the operating room, I suddenly got super scared and wanted to run out the door, haha. Scared as I was, I wasn't worried it would fail, because I think Dr. Liao is very skilled, and the many cases of his I'd seen were all successful.

The biggest inconvenience after surgery? You'd never guess!

When the anesthesia wore off, the pain wasn't bad, just chest tightness and soreness. In the first week I went back to NAISS CLINIC for painkiller injections, which reduced the discomfort a lot. The biggest inconvenience after surgery was probably having bigger breasts, haha. I'd never had any before, so suddenly having them took some getting used to.

Bursting with confidence, and rocking a bikini with ease

It's been three months, and out of 10 I'd give it an 11, because I love it. Friends and family are all envious that I had breast augmentation, and the feedback has been great. As soon as the discomfort eased, I put on my bikini for a photo shoot. My figure is better and my confidence is up.

I find NAISS CLINIC's staff and doctors very friendly and the clinic very comfortable. Many people recommend it online, and friends of mine have had other treatments at NAISS CLINIC with great results, so I felt very reassured.

Don't hesitate: the sooner you do it, the sooner you enjoy it

Finally, to everyone wondering whether to get breast augmentation: really, stop hesitating. The sooner you do it, the sooner you enjoy it. You can choose Dr. Liao, who is very professional and has done many cases with lots of experience. For implants, I strongly suggest feeling them at the clinic in person and choosing the one you like best!
