Yu Kkaennip shares breast revision surgery journey: '10,000% satisfied'

Beauty creator Yu Kkaennip recently shared the full process of her breast revision surgery on her YouTube channel, detailing the changes that followed the procedure.

On Sunday, Yu posted a video titled "Surgery again? The real reason I decided to get revision breast surgery … " on her YouTube channel.

Yu said she had chosen 355cc implants for her first surgery in 2021, but over time came to feel the size was too large for her slender upper body.

"There was a crackling sensation in my left armpit, like air was trapped inside, and at some point lying on my side became uncomfortable," she said. Yu also said she had developed rippling — a condition in which implant folds become visible through the skin.

Reflecting on her original implant choice, she said she had been drawn in by claims of superior safety. "Everyone's breast shape, muscle and fat distribution are different," she added. "Because I have a pronounced pigeon chest, I should have chosen an implant that fills the upper volume more evenly."

Before the revision surgery, she carefully compared implant options firsthand before making her decision.

For the revision, Yu had 320cc Mentor implants placed on both sides — downsizing from the original 355cc to achieve a more natural shape. "I wanted to go a little smaller, but the surgeon said this was the right size for the best result," she said.

Yu said her satisfaction with the outcome was high. The rippling that had concerned her most was gone, and she said lying in positions that had previously been uncomfortable no longer bothered her. The upper volume she had felt was lacking now looked naturally filled, and she said the feel of the implants was also more satisfying than before.

Going through the changes one by one, Yu said she found herself wishing she had gotten the revision sooner. "I am 1,000%, 10,000% satisfied," she said.

However, Yu drew a line at encouraging others to get cosmetic surgery.

"I did this because I was uncomfortable, because I wanted to, and because I wanted to feel satisfied with myself," she said.

Meanwhile, Yu married YouTuber Choi Gogi in 2016 and had a daughter, Solip, before the two divorced in 2020. Since then, Yu has been active as a beauty creator, sharing content about her daily life and beauty routines.
