Should have done this sooner but I wasn't planing on doin this. I spent hours on this website and it helped me a lot so I thought I should give back. I hope to help at least one person in their journey.

Post 34DD? Too early to tell, but what I asked for
500L/550R ccs silicone high profile
Under crease, under the muscle
I had my ba on May 14 so at the moment I am 1 week post op. I was so scared that it wasn't going to happen because on my pre op appointment my cbc cell count was too high. I actually got sick the night before my pre op with a cold. I had the chills, a fever, nasal congestion and a cough. I was devasted because I knew my blood work was going to be no good. I took some Tylenol and I survived the pre op, but surely the next day, I got a call about retaking my blood work. So frustrating because the drive in LA traffic is horrible. As for the pre op, I was there for about two hours. I got there, filled out paper work, got blood drawn out, then I met with him and discussed size and incision. I like how the last thing he tells me is don't get sick. So I had about 6 days until my next blood work so I tried to get better. I took no medication and tried to get better the natural way. I would drink hot tea with lemon and honey, hot steamy baths to detox my body, would heat up a water pot and breathe in the steam, salt and water rinses for my nose and throat. Most annoying part was being unable to breathe. My blood work was so quick, I signed in and went to the lab. Took no more than 10 minutes. This time I had to pee in a cup.
So it was two days before my surgery day, and I went hiking to see the water falls. The water was cold and got my feet wet. Well that night, my cold came back. But I thought to myself, I didn't get a call for my second blood work so my surgery is a go. My surgery was scheduled at 12 which I thought was awesome not to early but early enough that I won't be starving since you can't eat 8 hours prior. Then I got another call! Your blood work came back with unfavorable results. They asked me to come in at 9 15 to do another one and my surgery was moved to 2. My heart sank! Oh no, I got sick again so my blood work is gonna come back bad and they are going to cancel my surgery. I was crying and sad but hoped for the best. The day of my surgery, I did my blood work. I called around 12 and asked if I should take my emend (nausea pill) since ur suppose to take it two hours prior to surgery. But since i didn't know if I was having surgery or not, didn't want to waste it. It was expensive. Luckily my blood work came out good!! I was surprised but so happy!! Two weeks of trying to get better naturally and it was all worth it.
My dream was to have natural big breast so I wanted a double D. So Dr. Kim mentioned that I had a lot of breast tissue so there wasn't a problem getting a natural result. He had initially said mod + for a more natural result but after more examination, he concluded that hp would be better since my natural breast were already pretty close and I had smaller rib cage. He assured me that I can still get a natural look. I also made it clear to him that I wanted nothing less of 500 ccs. I didn't want to go thru the whole boob greed others mentioned. I figured if i do end up real big, I can also down size it with a thinner bra. I thought that it be a better option than still having to wear padded bras. I have seen so many more unhappy people saying they wish they had gone bigger than wishing they had gone smaller. Also don't compare ccs with others cuz they might have less or more breast tissue than you. I think it's safer to say I want a certain breast size.
As for my surgery, I was pretty much in n out. I woke up with a lot of pressure on my chest but no pain. I didn't feel nauseous at all. The best thing of all was that I woke up not sick!!! My cold had vanished! I don't know what they added in the IV but it was amazing. A couple hours prior I was coughing and blowing my nose so often. That night was ok. I woke up several times to take my Vicodin and my antibiotics. I never felt any real pain just super sore like after an intense chest workout. I did need help to get dressed or to open doors and to get off of my bed. By day 3 I was feeling good, just couldn't lift my arms fully until day 6. So few weird things happens to me but after research it's normal so don't freak out. For the first 4 days I got super oily on my face, hair and chest. I had to keep dabbing myself off cuz I didn't want to break out. Apparently your body is detoxing cuz of all the medication. Another thing, I looked pregnant. I was like wow not working out a few weeks did this to me?!? But no it's normal bloating after surgery. apparently it can last several weeks, but mine is almost gone. My right breast has a nerve pain that when I squish it a certain way, I get a horrible sharp nerve pain. However, the pain is almost gone and once again it's normal.
So my right breast is higher then my left right now which I expected. My right breast has the bigger implant and I am right handed so my right muscle has more tension so it will drop slower. I started massaging at day 4 and I love it. They feel good even though they are still recent. Massaging doesn't hurt at all and actually makes them feel better. I do have to be careful with the righ breast because of that nerve pain but still feels good.
So I am 1 week post op and I love them!!! I am so happy!!! I know once they drop they will look amazing but even now, i am extremely happy with them. Cant wait to go back to working out and sport these puppies hahaha

It's only been a few days
So it's been only four days since my last review but decided to do one before I get my tapes removed this Wednesday. I feel like they have dropped a tinsy bit. The nerve pain I mentioned is finally gone. My nipples are super sensitive which I actually love and hope the super sensitivity doesn't fully go away. I massage them a lot in hopes they drop faster. I will update after my next post appointment, but probably won't be much of a difference.

You look amazing! I LOVE your boobs! xo

May 26, 2015
Your results make me so excited to have Dr Kim perform my ba. I'm currently pregnant, but my husband promised once I'm done breastfeeding, he'll buy me boobs. I figure I have about a 15 month countdown. In all of my research, Dr Kim is who I've narrowed it down to! He's done beautiful work here too! Your boobs look amazing!

May 26, 2015
You will not regret it! Dr. Kim is amazing, I haven't seen any horrible work by him. He truly made wish come true

May 26, 2015
I look forward to following you to see how yours drop and everything. We have very similar stats but from pictures your pre-op boobs look bigger than mine. I think I am a very small b. My doctor said I can't go higher than 445cc UHP because my chest is too small and my breast width is only 11.5cm but I want similar to your size! I hope it isnt too small...
Thanks for posting!

May 26, 2015
No problem! I will try to keep u guys updated with pictures as much as u can

May 27, 2015
First your boobs look amazing! My surgery is scheduled for June 12th. I'm very excited. I think we may end with similar results! I'm about a 34 b now. But I've breast fed 2 beautiful babies so my pre-ba boobs aren't quite as pretty as yours were. But I think I still have a pretty decent pair! Lol. Thanks for sharing your experiences! I can't wait to see my results now!

May 27, 2015
Thank you! I was hoping to get others excited by showing my results! You will be extremely happy afterwards, well at least I was lol

Stitches are out!
It's still recent but I'm posting because I got my stitches and tape removed. My appointment was only like 5 minutes, super quick. He was so pleased with the results. He said I need to show them off hahaha clearly they are still high tho..he said I can start my birth control again and said I can go to Disneyland next week lol I was wondering because of the rides but I guess it isn't an issue about that. It was more of the cardio issue of walking a lot. So in other words, I can do cardio next week. Yes!!!! Also I am allowed to wear a bra now, non padded. However imma keep using the sport bras for now..Well I put some silicone tapes on the scars and some vitamin e oil let's see how they turn out in a few months. I will wait several weeks until the next post so there can be visible changes.

Looking great! It's funny you mentioned Disneyland. We plan on spending a few nights there for my daughters birthday about 3 weeks after my scheduled surgery so I called them to make sure it would be ok, wasn't sure about the rides jiggling them around too much, lol.

May 28, 2015
Yeah by next week i be three weeks also so we will be on the same boat. I was worried about the rides too but I think as long as u have ur high impact sports bra they won't jiggle around lol not to mention I am not going to hold on on the rides to prevent the tension on my arms when things get rough lol
May 28, 2015
Wow. LOVE them! They look so good already!


May 30, 2015
Do you remember when you started massaging? I think he said to start 3 days post-op for me..which would be tomorrow. My whole boob, each one is sore & I'm afraid of pulling the skin of the incision. I'm excited to start doing it but scared too!

May 30, 2015
Yes I had my surgery Thursday and was told to massage Monday or Tuesday. When Monday came around I was too scared to do it cuz I was sore but I did a quick one at night and officially started Tuesday. It didn't hurt at all, it actually feels pretty good. Just go as hard as you can handle

May 30, 2015
Oh my gosh, okay..so I can probably wait till Mon. or Tues. too since my surgery was on Thrus. as well. Thank you so much!!
May 29, 2015
Aw I wanted to go to Disneyland too, but I was not up for it. Your boobs look SO nice already!




June 1, 2015
