I had my consultation with Dr. Kim on 12/08/2014. Unfortunately I don't live in LA so flying back and forth is a hassle and expensive. It was a 3 hour flight from MSP to LAX then a 30 minute taxi ride to Dr. Kim's office. My consultation wasn't long, it was the waiting that was long. The office was very busy that day but nonetheless I felt confident with my decision to get my breast augmentation done by Dr. Kim. I booked my surgery date for 02/06/2015 which is exactly one month after my birthday. I will be in LA from 02/05-02/09, I have to fly back home for my Tuesday & Wednesday classes then fly back out to LA for my 10 day post op on 02/16. It is a very expensive procedure but Dr. Kim's results are amazing, the before & after pictures on his website speaks for itself, and if this is something I have to live with for the rest of my life I would pay for the best. We decided on moderate plus profile, silicone implants and under the muscle. I'm currently a small 32B and I wou like to be mid-full 32C.

Officially 23 now and 31 days away from my surgery. I have been looking at so much boobies lately that I've even created a folder in my phone for pictures of my "wish boobs."
I plan on shopping for sports bra sometime next week when I'm free. I went to Dick's Sporting Goods and Sports Authority last week to try on the Under Armour Protegee in C cup because I was instructed to purchase a front zip sports bra that fits 1 cup size bigger than what I am right now. I'm currently a B cup so I tried on 32C and it fits me, but it was so tight and hard to breathe. I seriously can't imagine how I can squeeze a brand new pair of swollen boobs into that 32C sports bra. I even tried on the 34C and it's still very uncomfortable. If you have any suggestions please let me know! I would really appreciate it.

If it's tight that's okay, cause it's good to keep them supported VERY well at first. Trust me it will feel like your breasts will POP open when you take the sports bra off the first couple of weeks haha. It's a weird feeling. So tight is good as long as it doesn't hurt your incisions, wherever you are getting them. I had mine in the crease under my breasts.

I'm so excited for you! I just had mine done yesterday by Dr. Kim. I was a size AA and purchased both the A and B in the under armour protegee. The A fit pretty snug, and the B was fitting. I brought both to the post-op appointment and he kept the B on me (we didnt try the A). It definitely shouldn't be hard to breathe in it though! You should try the 34 band size. I'm typically a 32 in victoria secret, but had to go with the 34 band to be able to actually have it fit right.

Time is flying by quick! On Tuesday (1/20) I have a doctor's appointment for lab tests and clearance for surgery. This week school started for me so it's been extremely hectic. I've been super stressed out and overwhelmed! I went from 120 lbs to 127 lbs within the last 2 weeks :( I'm still nervous about the shape and size of the implants, my consultation with Dr. Kim was very brief about 10-15 minutes and I flew 3 hours out for it then 3 hours back home. He is extremely busy and runs on a tight schedule, I'm afraid we won't have much time to discuss what I want to achieve.

hey hun how is payment arranged? i am seeing him in feb for a consultation and want to know ahead of time about his methods of payment, is there a deposit? or any extra charges? also how much did he quote you?
January 18, 2015
There's a $500 deposit when you book the surgery date which will be deducted from your total. I was quoted $9,100 for silicone implants and $7,500 for saline implants. The balance is due 2 weeks prior to surgery date and if you pay in cash he will give you a discount. I am paying in full cash & getting my preop done in my state so my total cost for the surgery is $8,645 but after tickets and hotel it totals to around $10,000. There's a $150 charge for preop fee and proscription is not included.

How much of a discount was it? I'm planning on doing half cash, I wonder if the discount is still applicable. Are you enjoying your new boobs? I was planning on going full to mid C and have the same stats as you :)
January 19, 2015
I believe it was a 5% discount. My surgery date is on February 6 so I still got a few more weeks left. For now I'm just trying to enjoy my cute little boobs before I say goodbye to it forever lol

I hope you have a chance to breathe and de-stress! I definitely understand how you feel about the appointment times, I flew from SF to see him for my consultation and even then it was 5-10 minutes. Usually waiting to meet with him is longer than the actual appointment. If anything, I'd suggest coming with multiple questions, he will take the time to explain things to you if you ask. Otherwise, he doesn't add anything to the conversation. Goodluck!
