A Memorable Moment During Surgery
“I closed my eyes,
and when I opened them, it was already over.”
I Blinked, and It Was Over
Before deciding on surgery, many people start by reading other patients' reviews.
How much will it cost? How long will recovery take? Were there any complications? Wanting to gauge it all in advance, even through someone else's experience, is completely understandable. Today, borrowing the story of a patient who researched that carefully before coming to us, I would like to share a few words with those standing at the same crossroads.
Cost, Recovery, and Complications
What worried him most were the cost, the recovery, and possible complications after surgery.
He compared review after review, weighing how quickly people recovered — and once he went through it himself, he found none of the scarring or complications he had feared.
The more thoroughly someone researches before coming in, the faster they close the gap between imagination and actual experience. That is why we aim to explain everything exactly as it is — with no exaggeration and no downplaying.
Thorough, and Kind
We asked what stayed with him most from his first visit to the clinic.
“I could feel how hard they tried to make the consultation thorough and kind.”
A consultation is not simply a place to recommend surgery. It is time set aside to explain your current condition accurately and to fully answer every question. Only when that time is kind can a patient decide with peace of mind.
I Blinked, and It Was Over
When we asked about a memorable moment during the surgery, his answer left an impression.
“I closed my eyes as the surgery began under sleep anesthesia, and when I opened them, it was already over.”
When the surgery itself leaves no burdensome memory, recovery feels that much lighter. Hearing that it passed before he even had time to get nervous is, to me, the most welcome review of all.
“Save the Time You'd Spend Shopping Around”
Asked what had changed after surgery, he said what stuck with him was his doctor remarking during a follow-up visit that he “looked like he had lost weight.” When the chest line you once hid is refined, your whole silhouette genuinely looks lighter.
Asked what he would say to others facing the same concerns, he answered:
“There are plenty of clinics in Gangnam, but I'd say save the time you'd spend looking around and just come here.”
Coming from someone who researched so carefully, those words carry extra weight. To live up to that trust, Trueman Gangnam will be with you from beginning to end.
