Month 1 woo!

So after a bit of dropping, I've posted an update. They definitely don't look any smaller, but they feel smaller? I added some photos with a sports bra on because without something on, the camera makes them look smaller than how they are in real life. They feel gigantic to me, like I have to use a whole hand to grab one. lol keep in mind I used to be able to just use my palm only, so this honestly takes adjusting to. One of my FAVE sports bras to hang out in when I'm not sleeping in my Under Armour Protegee is the Under Armour Plunge sports bra! I just got it in a small and it fits perfectly. SO comfy with very light covers so that your nips don't surprise everyone.
Nothing new has really happened. Week 3 felt the same as week 2 but I still have a slight bit of morning boob in lefty. Not sure why the right one doesn't considering it is the bigger implant.
In week 3.5, you'll see in the photo that it's obvious the right one is dropping slower. I admit I freaked out a little and massaged it much more but then you can see in week 4, both are at the same level. I suppose since I'm right handed it's easier for me to absent mindedly massage the left one more.

Post-Op Week 2! Felt like forever to get here
ChloeTornadoJanuary 24, 2015
I have to admit that I ended up with the case of the booby blues and was super worried I had gone too big. I knew it would take time, but obviously growing up without boobs and then having them the next day is just ridiculously hard to adjust to. Thank you for letting me rant & fret to you ladies!
With that in mind, I realized as the swelling went down, my fears diminished and I am as happy as ever with my new boobs. I've decided to post photos because it gave me so much comfort to be able to read other people's journeys here on RS. I've posted my post op, week, 1 and week 2 photos. Those long wires are NOT my nipple hairs! lol it's the suture that I was able to take out yesterday. The swelling definitely went down on the side boob area and I think that's what is making me happier. I just felt so wide, but now that I look at the photos, the boobs really are proportional to what I was looking for.. still could've gone down 25-50cc's but we'll see what happens in week 3! My right boob is the one with the 350cc and the lefty is the one with the bruise next to the nipple at 325 cc. The right one is dropping a little slower than the left.
Week 2: Boobs are definitely softer but I now get those zings and am a bit more tender as the nerves come in. Not much more to add.

It looks amazing on you!!! I hope you will grow to love it more & more each day.

I feel like we're boob twinsies since we got the same size, profile and even the same asymmetry. Dr. Kim did a great job and you're looking really good. I went through the same blue period also thinking I could have gone one size smaller. Happy healing and keep us updated.
January 24, 2015
I'm still on the blues. Hopefully you will get over and have a better results on how you wanted than me, I mean he did a good job, but it's not the look I'm going for. I was already feel like is too big when I first saw it, but you're already saying you feel proportion and in the 3's is usually the proportion size, because most girls I know got it done 5+ years ago, and 400cc was crazy to people back than, and the girls in the 3's looks good and proportion. So don't worry.
January 24, 2015
Thank you! That is exactly how I felt before the swelling went down and I have to say that no one knows your body better than you do. People can say you look amazing, but if you don't see the results you want.. you don't feel happy and then you feel a little worse. I did feel really wide and top heavy when my boobs had too much on the side. I looked at SO many photos on here and wished I was small enough to have the HP but because I am a 34 band size Dr Kim said it would give me a big gap in the middle and I didn't want that. I think if you want the revision, you should get it BUT only after you look at some girls on here with HP at 400+ CC's and see if they are wide or not. Sometimes photos of models and actresses, their boob looks smaller because of the bra/clothes or the photo is taken farther away. The boob photos on here are taken closer because we take it ourselves, so sometimes it looks bigger because of that. I looked at the sizing for Mentor Mod+ and I found I was the same size as Naturelle Mod+ Style 15 339cc (Different Implant Brand) so then I realized it was more in my mind and I needed to just relax. I looked at your specs for 450cc/500cc Mod+ and the diameter is 13.6 cm/14.1cm and the projection is 4.2 cm/4.3 cm . If you go with a HP the diameter would have been around 11- 12 cm or smaller with bigger projection. If you use this link http://www.mentorwwllc.com/pdf/Product_Ref_Guide.pdf it will show you sizes per cc for just Mentor brand. You should measure it out on your body and see if it is a big difference first. These are your boobs and you should be happy with them, if not, then it's ok people make mistakes, you can still revise them. It's important that you feel in proportion and not sad about your body!

You look great, they do look proportionate to your body so that's good :) "those wires are not nipple hairs" hahaha made me laugh

Hi there!! How are you feeling?
Are things progressing the way you hoped?
I wound up having to push my consult back to Feb. 27th because my hubby wants to be with me & there was a last minute conflict with baseball practice & my prior appt.
So now I have to wait..grrrr. I AM happy he wants to be there though:)
I was going to ask you, do you know what your bwd is?
I was trying to measure mine but it seems so small, I'd have to get smaller implants than I want. It looks like it's 11cm, but I've always heard our own measurements are not that accurate- hope that's true!
I am trying to avoid hp so that I can possibly fill in the gap between my boobs, but maybe hp could do that!? All I know is that now I have to wait to see Dr. Kim & hear his recommendation.
I hope you're well & things are healing smoothly!! XO
February 8, 2015
Hiii! :D I'm feeling much better. Week 4 is definitely better now that morning boob is mostly gone. Aww, your hubby is super sweet to you :) but I definitely I'd be super antsy too if I had to wait. I did not measure my BWD beforehand but I wish I did. Maybe while you wait you can go to consultations with surgeons in your hometown to try on sizers? That way you can see how HP or Mod+ sizes would look on you. Thanks lovely, time will fly by and 27th will be here before you know it!

Post-Op Week 1 Complete!
ChloeTornadoJanuary 17, 2015
Hi Ladies! Days 4-8 were somewhat of a blur. I went back to work on day 7 and everything was fine. I have more of a sit-at-your-desk job where the most I have to do is run in and out of meetings. The heaviest thing I have to lift is my laptop which is only 3 lbs. I've reduced everything in my work bag to necessities so that it all weighs under 5lbs (including laptop). I do carry everything with 2 hands. Outside of work, I only carry my cellphone, keys, and wallet in a super light clutch. Here's a quick run down of my stats:
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 110 lbs
Initial Cup Size: 34 AA (32A size at Victoria Secret)
Implants: Mentor MemoryGel 350cc (R) 325cc (L)
Implant Diameter: 12.5 cm (R) 12.3 cm (L)
Implant Projection: 3.9 cm (R) 3.8 cm (L)
I put in the diameter and projection because it's important to understand that every implant brand has a varying measurement. For example, if you're looking at a RS review and Sientra or Naturelle implants were used, they will have a different projection and diameter at the same CC as mine.
I'm getting happier everyday that the swelling goes down. I have to admit when I first saw them, I wasn't so happy because I thought they were too big. I'm still hoping they go down in size further because I am into the leaner look. I probably should've emphasized a smaller C-Cup but only had a couple of seconds with Dr. Kim beforehand. Either way his work is gorgeous and I won't get stuck on their current size because I know they still have to F&D. It's best to go into these surgeries without freaking out a week or two after. When you do your research and pick a board certified physician with post-op results that you're in love with, trust that it only takes time to get there.
Days 4-8: Waking up with morning-boob sucks. Walking still hurts after about 1-2 hours and then I get tired and want to lay in bed. I finished my antibiotics on day 7. Pro-tip: Write down the times you took the antibiotic on a piece of paper so you properly space out times, otherwise you're going to forget when to take the next one. Dr. Kim had me start to massage them on day 4 so i started off light and researched online what kind of massages to do. At one week, I started to get more aggressive. I saw Dr. Kim for a quick one-week check in and everything looks great. He told me I could start light exercise with lower body at 2-3 weeks. I can't wait to go back to high-intensity work outs! So tired of not being able to go to the gym.
Things I actually did use that I bought pre-surgery:
Metamucil - Fiber :)
Straws - I stopped after day 3 though
Dried Fruit Snacks - Just to pass the time and honestly, snacking is just fun
Useless items that now clutter*:
CVS "Peas" cold packs - Never had a need to ice
Heating pads for back - Did not need this, my back wasn't sore at all from sleeping with high pillows
*I'm starting to think my pain tolerance is very high though, so do take this with a grain of salt.
Still not comfortable showing photos online, but when I took a body photo, my boobs are definitely in proportion to my body and very much like the wish boobs I brought to him. Ladies going to Dr. Kim - make sure the wish boobs you bring him on surgery day are an exact want! He'll deliver as close to possible in relation to your body shape :)

Yay! I was wondering about you: )
I'm happy all is going well...you know we are dying to see your after pics, but totally understand the angst that comes with that! I have so many after pics to show him, I need to narrow it down! it's so hard because I love the look of C's & D's- I can't decide! My friend recently got 600cc's & got back to working out with no issues.
Anyway, congrats!! Thank you for sharing..btw...we are the same stats!
5' 3"
110lbs : )
January 19, 2015
haha yeah, narrowing it down is super difficult! I mean after all the research we do, it's so easy to have 10-15 wish boobs. I will agree C's and D's are fun to look at, it's just a bit more difficult for me since all of my GF's are A-B cups and my cultural background isn't known to be curvy. I'm definitely not on the boob greed train. Happy to PM you photos though if I'm able to do that. At least this way you can get a good idea of what it will look like on your frame. Let me know.
January 18, 2015
hey
January 18, 2015
was wondering how was the payment handled? i have a consultation with him in february!
January 19, 2015
Usually done with a deposit over the phone with a CC and then by money order if you're paying by cash. Otherwise, I think it's through CARE credit.
January 19, 2015
Not to scared you, but it will get bigger as it fluff girlfriend.
January 19, 2015
UGHhhhhhhh. I told him I wanted a Small to Mid-C cup.. and i went shopping today and decided to stop by GAP and Victoria Secret, I fit the D cups better than C cups :(
January 20, 2015
It looks like Dr. Kim has a specific size preference. I was a 32A/32AA and I had asked him for a mid-C after everything settles. Finally got fitted at VS and I'm spilling out of the 32C. I had to buy 32D bras!
January 20, 2015
OMG! Now this makes me even more anxious! I really need to emphasize that I just want to be a SMALL C to him.
January 20, 2015
I think you should take your height into consideration too though, but yes, emphasize ONLY if you're also on the non-boob greed train. I'm really into the lean look, but if you're a big fan of boobville, it should be fine.
