3 week update!
Yesterday I went to my 3 week post op appointment. Dr. Kim approves of my progress so far, cleared me to wear regular bras during the day as long as they are comfortable (sports bra still at night) and told me to start scar treatment. I have some Biocorneum and I'll be using that in combination with silicone scar strips. Hopefully that'll work. The pain is pretty much all gone except in my right armpit when I lift my arms too high. I don't have a lot of feeling in my nipples so hopefully that will slowly return; Dr. Kim said not to worry about that. My left boob is a lot softer and rounder - I can't see a huge amount of difference since the first week, I don't know how much they are going to change shape. They are a lot softer now with the massages which I have to continue. Hope everyone is recovering well!
2 Week update and back to work!
Today marks two weeks since I got my surgery! I started massaging about a week ago and my boobs have gotten softer - my left quite a bit more than my right so far. Trying to keep it up for at least 15 minutes a day. I have been experiencing a bit of boob greed - this week I've felt like they were pretty small! I guess the swelling is starting to go down and the cleavage is becoming less pronounced, boo. I hope they settle and look a little bigger, but I just have to trust I chose the right size :) I also went back to work last night, which was rough. I had to make sure to keep my tray load pretty light and avoid carrying certain things. Everyone was pretty helpful to me though. Hopefully it gets better this week!! Here are the pictures from today!
Post-op appointment at 1 Week!
Yesterday was my post-op appointment! I was seen on time and the meeting was super quick. Dr.Kim asked me how I was doing, and took a look at the boobs. He said the top half has a lot of swelling, which should dissipate over time. He also taught me three massage techniques to perform 15 minutes a day to help them soften into place. My left boob already feels a lot softer, my right side had a slightly bigger implant and is a little more stubborn so that's what I expect for the next couple weeks. I also got my stitches taken out (eesh, that felt weird) and took a look at my teeny tiny incisions! They are so small and I'm sooo happy with them! I can now trade out my compression bra for a more comfortable sports bra, although I've gotten used to this one now so I'll probably keep wearing it to bed. Cheerio!

So far, Dr. Eugene Kim has been patient and wonderful with me. I have never felt rushed or not important, and I have the highest confidence that my procedure with him will end up looking amazing.
