I am a 28 year old mother of three. I used to want breast implants, but it was never really in my budget. I kind of forgot about it until right after I had my third kid and I stopped breast-feeding him at about five or six weeks. I used to have a decent C cup but after three kids I was left with pretty much nothing. After bringing it up to my husband we decided to use some of our tax money and just do it. Everything we do is for our kids so this is the first time I’ve really ever done anything for just myself, and it’s most definitely the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. I couldn’t have been more happy with the results and the whole experience. Dr. Geoffrey Kim was highly professional, he listened to my needs during our consultation and I was so excited I immediately put the money down. My second appointment which was my preop appointment was just with my nurse, Polly. She made it very comfortable and fun and we did the sizing, originally I wanted to go with the 650cc but Dr. Kim did not approve that size he felt like it was too big to jump into for my body frame. I am 5’3 and 150 pounds, but I have very broad shoulders and that’s why from the beginning I wanted to go big, initially he said he was only willing to go up to 550 but I was able to talk him into allowing me to go to 600. Between the preop appointment and my actual surgery date I went back-and-forth on the sizing a couple of different time I was worried I was going to big but after looking at this site and pretty much obsessing about it I settled with the 600 and I’m so happy that I did. I did not want to be one of those people that wish they were bigger, honestly if I could’ve gotten bigger I would have but I am definitely happy with the size that I got. The day of the surgery I was so nervous my husband was unable to takeoff work sorry I was sad he couldn’t be there with me, my mom was able to drop me off but she had to care for my five month old. The staff there made me feel so comfortable and by the time it was surgery time I was completely relaxed. When I woke up I just remember being extremely cold and I was in quite a bit of pain but not anything unmanageable. As soon as I saw my chest I was so excited, my mom came and picked me up and I would say the ride home was a little rough every little bump made it hurt a little bit more but it wasn’t anything too bad. Luckily she took my kids for four days so I didn’t have to take care of anyone except for myself, it’s really hard for me to sit still and even right after my surgery I found it really hard to try and relax. I definitely experience a lot of pain but it wasn’t worse than childbirth it’s definitely a different kind of pain though but nothing I couldn’t handle as I did have to be by myself for the majority of the days since my husband works. The second morning I woke up I was in more pain than I had experience the whole time, but the pain pills helped almost immediately. I only needed the pain meds for two days and then I stopped taking them, I was still able to somewhat go about my daily life, I did not shower for the first two days as directed by the doctor but I was able to fully bathe myself once it was time. I had heard of people not being able to wipe themselves from going to the bathroom, I was still able to do all of that really my only restriction was to not reach too far above my head with my arm. I would have to say my entire experience went really well, I had no complication I did experience more pain on one side than the other and my doctor said that was normal. Today I am 2 1/2 weeks postop, it seems like one of my boobs is dropping in the other one isn’t quite there yet the same one that has someone dropped his a lot more squishy than the other. One is slightly bigger than the other but it was like that before and the doctor didn’t think it was significant enough to do more cc on one side than the other so we did 600 in both And to me right now it’s less noticeable than it used to be. They definitely are healing at different paces, and I’m OK with that I am just trusting the process and I’m so happy with my results so far. I will post more as they heal.
