Key takeaways
Sebbin revision breast augmentation case: the first augmentation, with Motiva, came out too small, so after an assessment with Dr. Kuo-Chun Liao she switched to Sebbin in a larger size. She quit drinking and fixed her sleep schedule before surgery; afterward she avoids late nights, smoking and alcohol, and takes protein and vitamin E. Four months on, she finds Sebbin feels closer to natural breasts than Motiva.

I'm Qiqi, a model, and because of my photo shoots I'd thought about breast augmentation many times. There are lots of stories online about unnatural shapes and fake-feeling breasts, but that didn't put me off. Every friend I asked who'd had aesthetic surgery said their first reaction was "I so regret not doing it sooner!" I'm also very much a doer. Rather than regret it years later, I'd rather act when the urge strikes. Besides, everyone's body is different, so you won't necessarily have problems adjusting.
Preparing for breast augmentation
"Late nights are a big no before surgery! I even had to give up my beloved drinks."
Before my Sebbin breast augmentation, I often went clubbing and drinking. For the surgery I stopped drinking and broke my habit of staying up late. Four months later I still have the occasional drink, but I don't miss the partying at all, because what Sebbin breast augmentation gave me is worth far more than nights out. With such a big change in lifestyle, I've regained confidence in my body and built healthy habits.
Motiva or Sebbin? One practical way to decide
When it comes to implants, most people think of Sebbin and Motiva. I've actually had both: Motiva the first time and Sebbin the second. I had a second augmentation mainly because "the size I asked the doctor for at first was too small," so I went up a cup. As for the difference, I find Motiva bouncier, more like a rubber ball, while Sebbin feels closer to natural breasts. Comparing with friends, we all prefer the result and feel of Sebbin.
Choosing between Motiva and Sebbin, I think the key is whether you've had children. The best time for breast augmentation is right after having a baby, when either works. For women who haven't had children, the breast pocket isn't as roomy, so forcing in Motiva makes it too full and harder to look natural. In that case I'd recommend Sebbin breast augmentation.
Trust the experts, choose the experts, and you'll get expert results
"Aesthetic surgery is like trusting the photographer at a shoot. If you suspect the photographer is going to take advantage of you, you'll never get good photos."
I think if you go into Sebbin breast augmentation with too many doubts, or assume it might fail, it easily affects your mood. Trust the doctor's expertise, put yourself in their hands, and you'll naturally get a result you're happy with.
I'd had liposuction at NAISS CLINIC before and was very happy with the result and the doctor's skill, so for this Sebbin breast augmentation I went straight to NAISS CLINIC. Liposuction takes fat out of the body, while breast augmentation puts something in, so the doctor's skill is naturally the key factor in choosing a clinic. This time the implants were large but the incision was tiny, which again showed the doctor's expertise.
Three things to avoid after surgery
For aftercare, late nights, smoking and drinking are absolute no-gos after breast augmentation, because they can make the implants firm and feel nothing like real breasts. If you're planning breast augmentation, stick to these three rules and recovery usually goes well.
For diet, I recommend plenty of protein, especially white meat like chicken, which is low in fat and high in protein. Vitamin E is another nutrient I recommend; it helps wounds heal and makes the capsule less noticeable.
Any regrets after Sebbin breast augmentation?
"Honestly, I was scared when I first told my fans I'd had breast augmentation..."
I have lots of male fans, and I was afraid they wouldn't accept my breast augmentation, or would even turn against me. But I don't like lying, so I worked up the courage to tell them, and their reaction surprised me. Most said every woman wants to look good, it's just breast augmentation, and there's nothing wrong with wanting to be beautiful. No one turned against me. It made me realize how much more open people are about aesthetic medicine now. Wanting to look good isn't just for women anymore; men can too. What puts people off is having work done and denying it.
"Don't be afraid to change. If a change makes you more confident, it's a good thing!"
I believe aesthetic medicine exists to give people confidence. I hope my experience encourages you to face your imperfections and not fear change, because the moment you're willing to change, you can change your life!
