5’4”, 130 lbs, breast Aug with 325cc/350cc silicone

I am so excited for my breast augmentation with Dr. Eugene Kim on Monday. Of course I'm a tiny bit nervous simply because I've never had any type of surgery before. But, overall, excitement takes the cake.

From my initial zoom consultation, I felt a calmness from Dr. Kim and zero pressure to schedule. His bedside manner is very pleasant, extremely knowledgeable, and reassuring. I was able to ask all questions I had.

I then booked my surgery date and scheduled a pre-op appointment, which was about 2 weeks ago. I got measured, talked with the doctor about both types of implants as well as sizes. I felt extremely comfortable with Dr. Kim, he seemed to understand my goals and concerns and gave his recommendation on sizing based on my wish photos and describing how I want to look. I then picked up my med prescriptions right downstairs and had a clear list of things to do before surgery (bras to buy, antibacterial soap, pillow wedge to sleep elevated on my back).

I'm eager to update this after surgery. Can't want to see how I look and feel!

Dr. Kim and his team have been amazing. My surgery went smoothly. The worst part was coming out of the anesthesia (never had surgery before) so I didn’t love the very slow return of my verbal and motor skills. But I suppose that’s normal. The amazing nurses (idk their official title im so sorry), Lucy and Theresa, were so kind and helpful and reassuring, especially as I continued to come out of the anesthesia.

I only felt a tiny bit nauseous on the dive home (30 mins) and completely fine once settled on the couch with my pillow wedges.

As for pain, I have yet to take one of the pain pills, only the muscle relaxers so far. I don’t feel pain exactly, it’s more of a soreness from armpit to armpit. Lifting my arm at all or moving/reaching is what triggers the sore sensation. I’m shocked I don’t feel pain but grateful.

Sleeping upright is the hardest part. I napped fine while coming down from anesthesia but am currently struggling to get comfortable on night 1. Slept for a few hour and now up writing this. I’ll get used to it I suppose.

Looking forward to seeing my new boobs. Kind of peeked at them through my shirt and the sports bra but eager to see the full glory! Lol

Feeling really great! I’ve been taking a pain pill just at night to help sleep, and I sleep so deeply that I don’t move from my back which is good! Still a bit of tightness and a bit of soreness around incisions. Been going for short walks each day.
I love the way they look! They look enormous to me now, but I know they’ll settle and drop and become softer. I’m so glad I trusted Dr. Kim with sizing. My right breast is 325cc and my left breast we went with 350cc to even them out.
