Hi everyone! My name is Yvie and I’m from Texas, the United States. I’m 57 years old and I was a model of Mommy Makeover in Braun Plastic Surgery.

For the application, I sent a picture of myself when I was 34 years old. I still feel on the inside like I’m the person in that photo, but when I looked at the mirror I was so surprised by how tired I looked, like my ears were getting longer, my nose was getting bigger and my wrinkles were getting deeper, which made me feel deeply that life has really done a number on me. 

I was so surprised and excited when I knew I won the event and I knew it was going to be a life-changing experience for me. Up to now, I am still so satisfied with the outcome and I would like to share this wonderful experience with all of you!

When I arrived at Braun, I was fascinated by their tall building, and the atmosphere there was so great: clean, tidy, and comfortable! Esther was my client manager and she was so helpful. I filled out the forms related to my medical history, took photos before the surgery, and got a CT scan of my face and also a blood test! Imagine doing this in America, every single step is going to cost you lots of money! After that, me and Esther went to the studio to do some photoshoots of my pre-operation photos and take some food. It was definitely one of the most extraordinary experiences in my life!

We went back to Braun and had a consultation with the doctor. I met Dr. Lee Ji Won, who specialized in doing lifting procedures. Although he spoke in Korean, Esther did a perfect translation for me and let me know clearly about every part of the surgery procedure. Dr. Lee accurately addressed my every concern and answered my questions professionally. I also met Dr. Kim for Blepharoplasty. Dr. Kim was so confident about the surgery and told me nothing to worry about. And then I knew why Braun was so famous worldwide – because of their experienced doctors and satisfying services.

On the surgery day, I followed the pre-surgery instructions provided by Braun and fasted for quite a long time. The doctor came and had a final consultation with me, having a final surgery design on my face as well. Then I was put to sleep with the anesthesia and I had no idea when I fell asleep...


When I woke, I was so surprised that the surgery was already over. The nurse brought me to the recovery room and I felt a bit uncomfortable with my dry throat. The nurse told me I was not able to drink or take a nap in the 6 hours after surgery. I felt a bit dizzy but way better as time passed. By the time I could drink water with a syringe, my dry throat felt way better too. Esther instructed me on how to take the medicine and use the ice bags during my recovery, thank you so much!

So everything went fine in the first few days. When I first got out of surgery, my toenail was bothering me, and then it went away my tailbone, my throat, and a headache were bothering me in sequence. The blood drains and blood bags were removed, and I went to Bukhansan, a mountain in Seoul, for a walk and it helped with the deswelling a lot! Shout out to Braun for providing me with shampoo and deswelling laser treatment, I felt so much better after that!

As you can see, most of my bruises were gone after a week. One week later, I went back to Braun for the post-operation check-ups. The doctors told me that my scratches were healing well and all I had to do was wait for the result. I was so surprised that I didn’t feel pain as I was so worried about the pain before the surgery. Every time when I looked in the mirror, I could see my lines were getting more apparent, my wrinkles were gone and my eyes were more open. That kept my spirits up even though the recovery was quite challenging for the first few days!

After my stitches were removed, I felt way better and I couldn’t wait for my normal life to come. I had a lot of Korean dishes, drank a lot of water, and had my 13000 steps every day! 

So basically, I would say the service in Braun was fabulous. Although I am a positive person, it was still scary for me to take up all these surgeries on my own. So what really matters is who you are interacting with and Braun gave me a feeling that I was in good hands. The biggest antidote to being afraid is to just know what’s going on and know what’s going to happen, and everyone in Braun did really well in keeping me informed and answering my questions clearly. For people who made up their minds to undergo surgery here, I think you can feel confident that it’s going to be safe, professional, healthy, and organized. One thing I’m sure of is that I’m glad that I had the surgery here but not in my home country.

So I had another photoshoot after the recovery. When I looked at the photos, I felt so emotional. I could not believe this was me compared to what I looked like when I got to Korea before. I can’t wait to go back to my home country and try some new exercises. When Braun does the next Mommy Makeover, I highly recommend you apply for it!

I attached some of my pre-operation and post-operation photos to let you guys see the difference!
