I Worried Whether the Surgery Would Go Well —
It Barely Hurt at All

- Daegu Branch -

Before deciding on surgery, the heaviest words boil down to two.

'Will it go well?' and 'Will it hurt?'

"I was worried, but it barely hurt"

It was written right there in the first line of the review.

"I worried whether the surgery would go well, but once I actually had it, it barely hurt at all."

That one line is, frankly, the answer we most want to hear. If a patient has to consciously endure pain, it is a sign that anesthesia and pain management fell short. 'It barely hurt' also means the standard protocol for managing pain through every stage of recovery worked exactly as it should.

"They were kind"

His first impression of the clinic came down to just two words.

"They were kind."

Short, but it is the answer that matters most. Adding no extra burden at the very moment someone first voices a concern about his chest — that is the starting point of all care.

Consultation at Trueman Daegu Branch

"My arms and legs were secured, and suddenly it was over. The anesthesia was amazing"

When asked about the most memorable moment during surgery, the answer he wrote struck me.

"I lay down, my arms and legs were secured, and suddenly the surgery was over — a surreal experience. The anesthesia was amazing."

A brief sensation just before anesthesia, and then the next scene: the ceiling of the recovery room. The time a patient must consciously endure simply disappears — that is the real meaning packed into the line 'the anesthesia was amazing.'

"The first thing I want to do after surgery — chest workouts"

The answer written in the review.

"I want to do chest workouts."

Chest exercises are the very thing men with gynecomastia hesitate over most at the gym.
Standing in front of the mirror no longer being something to hesitate about — that is the true result of the surgery.


"Definitely do it. No question"

The one line he left for others carrying the same concern.

"Definitely do it. No question."

Those few words from someone who has walked through that time himself carry the most weight.

Just be sure to pair that 'no question' with one precondition:
'after doing your research properly.'

Trueman will help you with sincere and devoted care.
