Key takeaways
Mentor Xtra (Queen Wave) breast augmentation case: naturally flat-chested, she also developed loose, sagging breasts after breastfeeding ended. After an assessment with Dr. Kuo-Chun Liao, she chose Queen Wave implants through an incision under the breast. There was swelling for the first three days, discomfort was gone within about a week with no bruising, and her aftercare included vitamin E and gentle massage with lotion.

"I'm Tong-Tong, I'm 27, and I work in the funeral industry. Ever since I was little I've felt flat-chested. I tried pills and massage, but nothing worked. My breasts grew during pregnancy, but after I stopped breastfeeding they shrank and became loose, wrinkly and saggy. Now I want to make myself prettier, so I decided on breast augmentation..."
Breast-enhancement courses were a waste of money; breast augmentation works directly
I had my child six years ago, and because my breasts became so engorged while breastfeeding, they sagged badly once my milk dried up. I bought lots of breast-enhancement courses and supplements, but they didn't work; I wasted money and time. I'd also just come out of a relationship, so I thought I might as well get breast augmentation, look prettier and make myself happier!
Choosing Mentor Xtra (Queen Wave) to restore my firm, bouncy pre-pregnancy shape
I chose Mentor Xtra (Queen Wave) because it has a 12-year warranty, and it feels soft yet bouncy; I didn't want a material that's too squishy. The incision is under the breast, because clothes cover the scar so it doesn't show. I didn't choose the areola because I'd heard of cases losing sensation after surgery, so I didn't dare.

A quick one-week recovery, with pain around 5 out of 10 and very bearable
I was a little nervous before surgery, since it was under general anesthesia and I was afraid it would hurt a lot once the anesthetic wore off. But when I woke up it was fine. There was only swelling for the first three days, and the pain was only about a 5, nothing unbearable. Within about a week I couldn't feel anything, and I had no bruising at all! For aftercare I took vitamin E and gently massaged with lotion, and the clinic provided scar laser, anti-inflammatory IV drips and some recovery medication.
Massage after breast augmentation: everything you should know
Satisfaction 9, and I regret not doing it sooner
I'm a little over three months post-op, and my satisfaction is 9~ I'd also like liposuction with fat grafting to the breasts, to give my waist a nicer shape and put the fat to good use by making my breasts a bit bigger. My chest is fairly narrow, so fat grafting can make the edges look more natural. Apart from small downsides like bras being harder to buy and shirt buttons popping open (which I actually quite like, hahaha), I'm very happy with the result, and I wonder why I didn't do it right after having my child~

Consult a professional doctor and feel the implants yourself: the sooner you do it, the sooner you enjoy it!
If you're considering breast augmentation, I'd recommend finding the right doctor, going to a clinic for a consultation, and feeling the implant materials in person. For the rest, follow the doctor's professional advice. I think the sooner you do it, the sooner you enjoy it. Making money is hard work, so use it to make yourself prettier and happier. If you want it, go for it!
