8 months post-op

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!

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.

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. :)

While researching plastic surgeons online in the LA area, Dr. David E. Kim's name kept popping up. Review after review, people said Dr. Kim's work was art. His results are flawless, symmetrical, and more natural looking. I only scheduled one consultation and after meeting Dr. Kim and his staff, I knew he was the plastic surgeon for me. He was very informative, professional, straightforward, and honest. He listened to my concerns and answered my list of questions. I left his office with my mind made up that I was going to finally get breast implants!
