Ms. A.S (middle 30's, Japanese, standard proportion)

  • What made you decide to have an operation at Cellport Clinic Yokohama?
  • I read an article in the magazine [GLITTER], which I buy almost every month. I have always wished about receiving a breast augmentation, but the reason for me not taking any actions even with the wish getting stronger everyday was
    1. The resistance I had about putting an alien object - silicone- inside the body, and
    2. I was not sure which clinic was safe and which I could trust.

    After knowing about it from the magazine, I called the Cellport Clinic, and I felt that "Something is different" from the way they answered the phone.
    They were very kind, polite, and reliable.

    At the first consultation, after seeing the doctor and nurses, the receptionists, their attitude of trying to answer every question, and the safe and reliable operation method, I was able to determine that "if I were to take the operation, this clinic would be it".

    At first I was somewhat surprised by the expensive fee, but when I thought that it was because of the high quality, safe operation, I thought that it was something that money can't buy.

  • How did you feel before having the procedure, or on the day you had the procedure?
  • I had chosen the time when it was relatively easy to get days off for before and after the operation, so I had about half a year term from the first consultation to the actual operation.

    But after the consultation, I felt as if I wanted to have the operation the right next day, and I couldn't wait until the operation day. I have counted the days, marking the calendar, and became excited as the operation day got nearer and nearer.

    I was able to sleep soundly the day before the operation without any anxiety, and I had no worries whatsoever even on the day of the operation when I was taken to a wonderful private room and had the nurse's thorough explanation regarding the operation.

    I was a bit nervous when I entered the operation room, but I fell asleep soon from the anesthesia, and when I woke up, I was already back in my private room. It may have been the effects of the anesthesia, but I felt some pain in my throat when I woke up. The nurse took care of it, bringing me water and such. It was painful for me to have the tube in the urethra, and I had to make several nurse calls during the night to go to the bathroom, but the nurse looked after me warmly. Also, despite the late hours, the doctor came to see how I was doing.

    I think I am myself today because of all the warm support I got from everyone which helped me to receive the surgery feeling safe. I thank you all very much.

  • Tell us about changes made in your body and feelings after having the procedure.
  • The reason I could not be as happy as I thought I would be right after the operation was because the area that went through the operation hurt, and I felt discomfort trying to move the body.

    One thing that I was concerned about was that I would have very much liked to have more detailed information regarding this pain before the operation. I too was thinking only of my breasts getting bigger, and it is partially my fault for failing to ask how much the legs would hurt and how it would be in normal every activity, but I didn't think the [pain similar to strong muscle ache] would be that serious.

    I have heard that there would be individual differences, and I consider my case as severe. It was hard to sit down or stand up, get in or out of car. It hurt just by walking, my legs became swollen, and I was unable to sleep because of the heat of my legs. It was simply difficult to move the legs, and the condition of constant pain even with the pain killer continued for about 2 to 3 weeks.

    During that time, the swelling of the breasts got better, resulting in slight size down. I couldn't help feeling depressed even more when I felt the size to be smaller than right after the operation. What if they went back to the size of before operation? I was a bit worried, but I calmed down after the e-mail consultations with the nurse. I was told that it would be better to take good nourishment, and though it was difficult time even just to go grocery shopping, I planned everyday meals, and tried to eat as much as possible.

    It was when I was getting the first month post-operative measurement that I was glad that I had taken the procedure. Compared to the size before the operation, the bust top was 5 cm higher. I was even more impressed when I put on the normal brassier.

    Until then, I used to wear somewhat bigger sized brassier with pad. But because of the small size, it would not hold and come loose. Now, even without the pad, it would hold just with my own breasts, and I was simply delighted.

    I had gained 2 kg purposely, but because the fat was gathered from thighs and abdomen, the size did not change. I think I'm in rather good-balanced shape.

    Even with the same T-shirt I used to wear, the silhouette is very much different with breasts bigger, and I think I wear them nicely. The size did not change, but surprisingly, it had gotten little bit bigger when measured at the second month post-operative measurement. In order to keep this size of the breasts, I will eat well, try not to lose weight, get moderate exercise, and keep the shape I have.

  • What did you think about the atmosphere of the clinic?
  • The atmosphere was nicely quiet, and I think it shows the high quality of the clinic. I don't think one can feel at home in reception room with television on, or where you meet many strangers. I like the atmosphere where I can spend the time quietly whenever I visit.

    When I took the operation, I was actually excited to spend the night in such a beautiful room. But I think the whole atmosphere of the clinic is built not from the beauty of the room or furniture, but the kind welcome and warm personality of the doctor and staffs. It is absolutely wonderful.

  • How were the attitudes of the doctors and staff?
  • I feel that they are always gentle in their greeting. Few years ago, I went to a plastic surgery clinic for breast augmentation, rather famous from commercials and in magazines. However, I was very disappointed with not only the receptionist who was inappropriately dressed, but also the doctor who did not pay much attention to my worries that I was having consultation for, such as the risk and damage regarding the operation.

    It is true that the experience I had planted a bad image in me, of plastic surgery clinics in general. But Cellport was clearly different starting with the answer to very first telephone call, which felt good and reassuring. The receptionists always welcome me warmly. The nurses always listen tentatively, giving out the accurate advices even through e-mails. On my first consultation, the Medical Director answered thoroughly all the written questions I had taken with me. The examinations after the operation are also thorough, always with concerns for my condition.

    I believe that the atmosphere of the clinic is something that you can always consult to about anything and anytime. I was comfortable receiving the operation, and I feel fortunate that I was able to find such a clinic. I am looking forward to visiting them again.

  • Please give some advice to people who plan to have the same procedures or those who hesitate to have an operation.
  • Life is only once. Of course, on what aspect should one have the priority of life, depends heavily on individuals.. In my case, the fact that my breasts are smaller than that of average people was the core of my inferior complex. Even when I was with someone, because of that reason, I was made fun of, and sometimes hurt. I can't help thinking that for women, big breasts are the source of their confidence.

    After the operation, little by little I gained confidence, and I can't thank enough for letting me find such a wonderful method and clinic. Had I not known about such procedure or such reliable clinic, I wouldn't have taken the operation, and I would have lived on without any confidence in myself with the fact that I had small breasts.

    Even though it may cost a bit, it is a warranty of safety and reliability, and I believe that it is something necessary to live long and beautiful as a woman. I am thinking that if possible, even after few years, I would like to come back here and have my second operation.

    This is a clinic that can be trusted completely. You will not regret it in the future.
