8 months post-op

WORTH IT$8,150
I had another follow-up with Dr. Kim. I'm a little over 8 months post-op. I have the slightest asymmetry, the left breast has dropped a tiny bit more. I hardly notice it, but Dr. Kim is a perfectionist and pointed it out. We agreed it's probably because I'm a side-sleeper. So to fix it, I just need to switch sides. Besides that, everything is going great! I love them and I think they are just perfect for me! Before I hated trying on bathing suit because I never filled out the tops, now every suit I try on, I fall in love! (I've already bought two suits for a vacation in Palm Springs=) )

I've resumed all more normal activities like running, cycling, and lifting weights. (I ran a half marathon 5 months after surgery, no problem). Dr. Kim said I can do push-ups and other chest exercises, but my chest muscles are pretty weak and I'm still not comfortable doing push-ups, I feel like the implants move and my muscle really stretch. Otherwise, I'm totally satisfied!

you look great!
Oh man, I'm a side sleeper too! I keep catching myself trying to roll on either side to get sleep in the middle of the night. So glad you updated :) and keep us posted if that helps even it out. Have fun in Palm Springs (Coachella? :P)
I know you're not on here anymore really but if you happen to see this, could you tell me if you have been able to push your breasts together to make cleavage? I ask because my sternum is pretty bony and although I'm only 10 days post op, I can't push mine together yet. I hope I'll be able to a some point! : ) Thanks!
I have a pretty bony sternum too. At first, I had to really push them together to barely make them touch. Now my boobs are so much softer, they easy get pushed together for nice cleavage in a sports bra, push up bra, or just by squeezing my arms in.
What was your BWD??? Mine is 13.2... I just got the 339's too!! I hope mine look as full as yours do! Im 3 weeks post op!!!
Ps: your pics are amazing!! They look bigger after they dropped.. Did they get bigger to u??
Yours look so good !! I hope mine look like that! Do you have anymore before pics x
Hey they look amazing ! What brand of implant did you use ? Does it feel natural to touch ?

4 months post-op: 339cc Mod+ Silicone implants

I haven't posted an update in a while, because I feel great and feel totally normal! Its been 4 months since my surgery and my breast just look and feel more natural and softer and softer over time. I love them and I love them on my body! I scar pretty easy, so my scars are really pink still. But I'll see what Dr. Kim says when I see him next week at another follow-up.

You look great! We're similar, I got mine right after I got engaged too! I had plans to have them done before we got engaged, but it was crunch time after it actually happened!
You look really great! :) my scars look like that too and I'm at 4 months.
Love your boobs, after I accidentally did it too big, now I'm just drooling over smaller boobs.
They look so awesome !! I am still awaiting to get mine done but I love how yours turned out!

2 months + Post-Op

I'm a little over 2 months post-op. I had to cancel my appointment with Dr. Kim today due to a work conflict and being 4 hours away. Also I feel like I really didn't need to see him. Not much has changed since my last appointment. I called his office and they were okay with my cancellation. Instead, I emailed him some pictures and an update on how I was doing.

I feel totally normal! No pain at all. I have returned to my normal exercise routine: running, lifting weights, and kickboxing (still no chest exercises). My breasts look and feel better and better over time. They continue to feel softer and softer and continue to drop. I fit into a 32C normal VS bra and a 32D strapless VS bra. I am still doing a lot of massaging (very important!). I also still put on the Bio-corneum scar cream twice a day and take 1000mg of Vitamin E once a day.

I'm still very happy with my whole experience! Now I love wearing bathing suits! This summer has been so fun! I plan to see Dr. Kim in another 2 months. :)

You look awesome! I am a small 34A and getting 350 also. Reading your story just settled some nerves because I would be very happy if I had similar results. I also currently wear a padded bra under my sports bra...not for long!
Aw thanks! I'm such a perfectionist and was sooo worried about the size and end result! I couldn't be happier!... I love just wearing a sport bra and tank top to the gym and having perfect cleavage! It's the best!
Looks great! I'm your size and this really has helped me make a decision. Thanks so much for sharing!
That's awesome!! I had such a hard time deciding on a size, not too big and not too small. Stick to what YOU want!
Great size
Thank you so much for your post! I am also getting 339 ccs. I'm looking forward to it!
You're welcome! Good luck! I could have gone up to 371cc (the dr tried that size on me in surgery, and he kept encouraging me to go bigger). But I stuck to my wishes and wanted a modest size and I love them! I have a petite bone structure and didn't want a TOO BIG or FAKE look :)
