Day 1- 32A breast augmentation

Time flies! Today is my week 4 mark!
I would say the first week was real recovery, second week was much better and by week three I have forgotten that I had surgery! I would say the only thing was not allow to drink and had to sleep on my back but I eventually got used to it.
Per doctor’s instruction, I have been massaging for more than 20 minutes each day. I think my left side breast is sitting higher than right side and I couldn’t feel my left nipple, which I think is normal. Dr. Kim said it is still too early to tell, so I just need to wait patiently.
I am still wearing sport bra day and night and have been sleeping on my back.
I will report back on my two months mark.

Today is day 4 of post op and I am feeling great! My boobs are still sitting high but I understand it takes time for them to drop. In terms of recovery, I am feeling very good, I was able to take walks and longer walk each day. On day 3 I took a shower and my insertion looks great and tapes are still in place. I can move my arms around, although I can move them above my head I prefer not to and minimize my arm motion as little as possible.
In terms of meds, I am still taking antibiotics and pain killers.
So far, I am very happy with the surgery result and I can't wait for my boobs to drop!! I think Dr. Kim did a fabulous job!!

Hi there!

I'm going to share my BA journey here, hopefully it is helpful for you!

I have been planning for this surgery for months. My surgeon is with Dr. Eugene Kim in Beverly Hill, CA. since I am not based on CA, we had our initial consultation via Email. I sent him some questions, he responded with quote and what he think would be best for me in terms of insertion. We have exchanged about 4 emails and I decided then I would go with Dr. Kim.

SURGERY DAY- My surgery is scheduled for 11:45AM. I met with Dr. Kim the day before to go over final thoughts and sizing. He gave me prescription and after care instruction. There are 4 prescriptions and a list of do and don't. Both the medication and instructions are straight forward, I can assure you that you will have a speedy recovery like me if you follow exactly what the instructions tell you to do.

Surgery was quick and easy. I went in at 11:30, met with nurse to sign some paperwork. Then I went in to the recovery room to change, put my belongings in to locker(you can bring your phone). Then the nurse took me to the bed, she took my temperature and put an IV in. Then the anesthetist came in to say hi, ask me more questions and then I was roll into the operation room.

The anesthetist said he is going to give me something to make me go to sleep. I felt asleep as soon as I felt the cold fluid run through my vein.

I woke up from my nap, the surgery was completed. I asked how the surgery was, they said it was a success, I vaguely remember someone putting on the sport bra for me, then I was roll back to the recovery room.

After about half an hour, I was fully awake and the nurse push me down to get into my car.

HOURS AFTER SURGERY- I was back at our apartment and I was not in a lot of pain but I do feel my chest being super tight. I rested in bed for the rest of that day.
