"I'm Yu-Ting, I'm 28, I work at a bar, and I had Mentor Xtra (Queen Wave) breast augmentation. Since middle and high school, classmates teased me for having small breasts, and even after I started working, it still made me feel insecure..."
After two years, I finally took the first step toward changing
Since my school days, I was the girl classmates joked about for having small breasts. I'd laugh it off, but deep down it always bothered me. After I started working, that insecurity stayed with me. Lots of clothes just didn't fit right, and I tried tons of breast enhancement products, things to eat, drink, and massage. I spent a lot of money for nothing and was left with nothing but heartache.
I thought about it for about two years, until one day I found out a girlfriend of mine had breast augmentation at NAISS, and the result looked incredibly natural. That's when I thought, "If she could do it, so can I, right?" In that moment, I found the courage to really take the first step.
Natural and soft: why I chose Mentor Xtra (Queen Wave)
While doing my research I looked at many different implants, but what mattered most to me was that they'd look natural and feel natural.
So when Dr. Yu explained Mentor Xtra's material, softness, and how it looks after surgery, I really felt convinced.
Its softness and natural, not-stiff shape were exactly what I'd always wanted. The first thing that went through my mind after hearing it was: "This is what I want!"
I first chose NAISS because of my friend's recommendation, but what really made up my mind was a combination of reasons. I found that NAISS doesn't just look good online; when I actually walked into the clinic, it was bright, clean, and comfortable, and I relaxed a lot.
Dr. Yu was very attentive and professional during the consultation and explained everything clearly. He didn't oversell, which gave me a steady sense that I could trust him. So by the end of the consultation that day, I'd already decided: "Okay, I'm willing to put myself in his hands."
Faster recovery than expected: back to my daily routine in a month
Honestly, the moment I walked into the operating room I was super nervous, so nervous I wanted to run away for a second (laughs). But the anesthesiologist was so gentle, patted my head, and said, "Don't worry, it'll be over soon." And then I really did fall asleep.
After the anesthesia wore off, it felt much milder than I'd imagined. I felt a bit cold and my chest felt full and tight, but there was none of the "like being run over by a truck" pain people describe online.
From the next day I barely felt any pain. For aftercare, I relied on nourishing food like chicken soup and chicken essence, and didn't do much else. I recovered pretty quickly and was fully healed in about a month.
The only really hard part: I'm someone who has to sleep on my side, and for a while after surgery I couldn't, in case pressing on my breasts affected their shape, so my sleep quality suffered a bit. But after a little over a month that went back to normal, and sleeping on my side has been fine since!
Freedom to wear anything, and a new spring in my step: the real changes breast augmentation brought
The biggest change after breast augmentation is that my confidence has been unlocked to a whole new level.
I finally have freedom in what I wear. Camisoles, spaghetti straps, and fitted tops I used to quietly give up on because I couldn't fill them out? Now I can just put on nipple covers and go. My breasts look so good that dressing has become easy, and I actually look forward to choosing what to wear every day.
The most amazing part is that that strutting-down-the-street feeling really does happen. I notice more people turning to look when I walk by, and I get an unbelievable amount of romantic attention, a life I wouldn't even have dared to imagine before.
My family's reaction was really warm too. I was terrified my mom would object, but when she saw them she said, "They turned out pretty well, very natural," and even said, a little enviously, that she'd like to have it done herself. My friends were all amazed, and some even found the courage to go for a consultation after seeing my change.
10 out of 10: meeting the version of myself I'd always wanted
If I had to rate this surgery, I'd give it a perfect 10 without hesitation.
It's not just an outward change; it was a turning point in getting my confidence back. So if you're still hesitating, still going back and forth, still afraid of what others think, I want to tell you: "Finding your own confidence really matters. If deep down you've already wanted to do it, be brave just once. No one is forcing you; it's a gift you give yourself." With that courage, you'll meet a version of yourself you like even more.
