My overall experience is has been really good, only one night that was painful, I took one my meds for pain and I was ok. The most discomfort I've had was my back from sleeping on it. I went with gummy bears for a number of reasons. Life span much longer than with the silicone, their durability, less rippling, and no messaging required by me. Just let them be.

Hello! Congrats on your BA, your results look great! I hope you'e recovering well. Would you mind sharing your height and weight and pre BA bra size? I'm getting mine in a month and am trying to decide on size...going back and forth between 385 and 435 sientra, round, textured moderate profile.

Also, are yours round or shaped, textured or smooth?

Thanks :)

Hi, and thank you! I'm 5'11" 165 pounds. I was a 34/36 small B. I was very concern about going too big, not the look I was going for. It was my plan to go full
C, but after reading comments from others, and the patient assistant in my PS office telling me a lot of women have regrets that they didn't go larger, and most redo the surgery. That's a lot of money to spend and not be completely happy with the results. So I asked my PS his thoughts about a full D being proportion for my body size; and he thoughts were I would be ok and he completely understood I was not trying to look unnatural. Because of my height I am what you consider as slender. I'm now 10 days post op I will be updating with new pics later. I love my size and I still have a lot more drop and fluff to do. I'm going to wait a couple of weeks and go get measured. Good luck with surgery, and keep me posted.

Hi there! I am considering a BA with Eugene Kim as well. Love your results. Did you meet with David Kim as well? I cannot decide which one I want to go with because they are both amazing

To be honest David Kim was my first and only choice after viewing every one of his videos on U tube. I went to wed site and viewed the pictures there. His work it is really good. I then noticed there was another Dr Kim in the same office. I did my homework and read the reviews on Eugene Kim and not one person had anything negative to say. The only thing I read about David Kim was his personally was a little dry which was fine with me because was wasn't trying to be his friend. His work is awesome! My decision was based on instinct and it payed off. Very happy with my decision. Let me know who you went with.

Hi, I was wondering if you got the textured or smooth sientra round (gummy bear) implants? I plan on getting my BA in March, I believe at the same location as you with the other Dr. Kim! I can't remember if there was a smooth option for the gummy bear implants. Also how do your implants feel?

I'm getting use to the new me, sleeping on my back is still a struggle for me. No pain, just my incisions are itchy; I opt for the crease.

That's what I'm going for. Looks like yours healed well. No keloids or hypertrophic scars? With my pigment I'm nervous about that.

Hi, I'm sorry for late response to your questions; I missed seeing it until now. My incisions are healing nicely and I'm very happy with my results so far. At first I wasn't happy at all. I'm standing there thinking what have I done to myself...Lol. I posted pics for you see in my profile at one month and now at four months post op. They were very dark and raised. My PS gave me a scar cream to use that helped me so much with healing and the appearance. It's silicone cream called bioCorneum. If your PS doesn't have it, Amazon has for about 65.00, a little pricey but well worth it. One week after using it my incisions were lighter and smoother to the touch. Now at 4 months I can't feel them at all. No keloids or hypertrophic scars. Oh! My PS advised me to keep my incisions protected from the sun,
the sun will make them dark permanently; so be very careful with that. If you have any more concerns please don't hestitate to contact me and keep your profile updated on surgery. By the way, how many cc and what type of implant did you do with?
