I healed beautifully, wish I would have done this 10 years sooner.
I had a breast reduction in February, 2021 and absolutely love my results! Dr. Kim is super meticulous. She set realistic expectations, and explained what to expect thoroughly. I healed beautifully, wish I would have done this 10 years sooner.

615cc ultra high profile - they are so perfect for me!
Hi all! My pre op was today and now the nerves have finally hit. I'm a 34 B (according to vs) and just decided on 615 cc! I'm 5'11 so everything looks a little bit smaller on me. My surgeon and the girls in my office encouraged me to go bigger rather than smaller. I can't believe this is finally happening. No more looking like a 12 yr old boy! Updated on 4 Oct 2019: Here are some of the sizers I tried on yesterday. I think they are 550 cc. The medical assistant in the office
TT/Flank Lipo - 41, 5’6, 163 lbs
My TT & flank lipo is scheduled for 01.26.2018! New year, new me! My youngest little is 15, so I’ve been waiting 15 years for this! Part of me feels selfish, because I could be putting this money toward something else for my family, but I keep reminding myself it’s okay to invest in myself. I feel a sense of ‘nesting’ as I already have my surgery bag almost ready with all of my supplies I want handy. I’m super excited, and love reading all of your posts!Updated on 25 Jan 2018: I

Age 23, Heart Surgery As a Baby Basically Destroyed One of my Breasts, Had Reconstruction.
When I was born, I was assigned male and had a heart defect that required surgery. What I didn't know what that they have inadvertently destroyed one of my inframammary creases, which made me have only one breast for my entire life until now. I still have had two nipples, of course, but they destroyed the ligament that was supposed to support my right breast, making that breast flat and unable to develop fully. I say I was "assigned male" loosely. Technically, yes, and I had (and

Wish I Had Done It Sooner
41 year old mom of two. Both C sections. Been on this site for a long time researching and following others. Thought I would share my tips and tricks now that I am 5 weeks post op. Even though you can not tell from my before picture, I have been working with a personal trainer at the gym three times per week. I wanted to be strong for a better recovery. I am so thankful for all the squats and push-ups because I sure needed it. You need leg strength to squat onto the toilet and

Bless You Voluma - Temecula, CA
I have hated my photos because my eyes always look tired and saggy. Even my husband has made comments on my eyes. I don't look 49 but my eyes...my eye look so much older. I went to an event at my plastic surgeon'a office, learned about Voluma and saw the before and after photos. I was sold! I just had it done a few hours ago so I''m a little puffy plus lack of sleep but what a difference already. I love it! The procedure wasn't so bad. The worst part was when it felt like

46 Year Old Deflated B After 2 Kids - Temecula, CA
In school the boys teased me because I was so flat chested (AA). After my first child I had boobs (full C)! Of course it didn't last. My second child left me with deflated B's. I could literally hold pocket change under my "boobs". I was always invested in the latest push up or water or air bra. Anything to make me look like I had a chest. But naked? I didn't want to even look at them. I finally decided to get breast augmentation And happened upon Dr. Kim. A female Aisan Doctor

Hi! This site has really helped me so decided I better write my own. My whole life I have been a small b. My weight fluctuated lots through college, and I weigh about 20 lbs less now than I did in my twenties. I have 2 beautiful babies who I breastfed, both are toddlers now. My poor girls are left deflated & empty. When I lift up my arms there is loose skin rippling. I do not feel comfortable and have been planning to do this for myself when the time was right. Well, I found
