Great Results So Far! 34yo 2 Kids

I found Dr. Kim through the cosplayer Liz Katz who has the most perfect boobs. I didn’t want to go quite as big, but her shape was perfect. I was really impressed by his before and afters and the videos on youtube showing he can somehow make incredibly large implants look natural.
I’m from a different state so we had a consultation via email and a quick zoom call to answer a couple of other questions. Dr. Kim is a man of few words but if you prepare questions he will make sure to answer them all. He does things differently since he won’t decide on the amout of CCs or the profile until you’re under and he gets to test out the sizes/shapes to get you as close as he can to your goal photo. I ended up with 535cc on both sides. We flew into town the weekend before the surgery, did a preop appt on Monday where I chose the gummy bear implants. Dr. Kim said my nipples were slightly low so I could do a crecent lift but he can still make them look good without the lift. I decided on no lift and inframamary cut.
The surgery was quick and easy. The procedure took no more then hour- hour and a half and when I have almost no pain. I’m 2 days post op right now and have to keep reminding myself to take it easy cause i feel completely fine. The breasts are obviously still swollen and haven’t dropped but I’m very happy with the results so far and i’m expecting they’ll be just what I wanted when they drop. Here is my inspo photo, before photos and the 1 day post op photos. My stomach is still pretty bloated from the surgery but i’m expecting that to settle soon

10 days post! Loving them!

Mrs. Brightside
Here are some progress photos from last 10 days. Since i’m not local I had to take my own stiches out today but it was super easy and just mildely uncomfortable. The scars are much smaller than I expected, Idk how he got such big implants through such small incisions tbh! As for my boobs they are overall great. I am hoping though that they will get a bit closer together (tighter clevege) but I guess that’s what the sports bra and the massages are for. I also got an elastic band to wear over the sports bra to keep them tighter together. My right breast is a bit higher and rounder on the top but I hear it’s normal for that one to drop slower if you’re right handed. I tried on some clothes without the sports bra and wow all of my clothes fits so much better now! As for the recovery, I had an unexpected speed bump when me and my whole family caught a horrible stomach bug two days after my surgery and ended up in an ER on an IV… that was rough but doesn’t seem like it had major consequences on my surgery recovery (plus I lost a few pounds lol). I feel pretty good with virtually no pain so it’s been really hard to “take it easy” especially with two littles and an endless to-do list. I have to keep reminding myself cause I don’t want to mess up my boobies. I will say though my sleep has been trash cause i’m not used to sleeping on my back. Hard to fall asleep, wake up easy, can’t fall back to sleep, my restless leg syndrome has been acting up really bad… I’ll probably ask Dr. Kim if I can take some sleep aid meds tbh. I think that’s all for now!

I got a question from someone about boob changes with pregnancy and breastfeeding so I figured I can make a little post to show how my boobs changed over time. I’m postong my pre kids tiny boobies, two months into breastfeeding with first, 3 years later after I lost weight and got in shape, and while breastfeeding baby number 2, then after I was done breastfeeding, and now
