Booked Revision 390 to 800
jayjay3030September 29, 2018
WORTH IT$10,000
My stats:
Female
28
One child, nurses 2 years
Revision/ replacement of existing saline 390 CC to 700-800cc hp silicone.
Okay so I will be goin in for a revision Oct 4 (Thursday).
I have had about 5 consultations an after reviewing yelp, meeting, online portfolios and in office, YouTube and social media, I have finally decided to book with Dr Kim.
I first contacted via email, I had questions about multiple procedures and he answered every question I had and gave his opinions, I’m glad he didn’t just tell me what I wanted to hear.
The office was very welcoming when I came in for my preopt , I had already known this was goin to be my dr so I had already put my down payment prior to my appointment. Since I scheduled as out of town (2 hours away, but far enough to need to take half a day out of work to visit) this was my first office visit. There were TONS of forms to fill out. They seemed to be training, so it seemed a little slow going in to me, but nothing negative. I was given forms to do my blood work a few doors down, the women was fast, friendly and efficient. Once I returned I was seen pretty quickly. Dr. Kim suggested a lift, however I would like to go fairly large and I like the more natural look so I took a pass on it. He said he would be able to fit 800 as I originally want ( however now I’m thinking 700-750). My surgery was paid for and officially booked.
I was given my prescription and told to purchase my Sports bra for the day after surgery.
I did purchase one from target but I’m thinking of getting one from amazon.
I was told I would receive a call the day before surgery to let me know what time I am scheduled, which kind of sucks, I’ll be anxiously waiting for a phone call.
I would have liked to know what all of my times and days are so I could schedule my time off, arrange rides and for my kids (you moms know what I mean).
So far a pleasant experience, now the waiting game.
I’ll post updates and pictures!

Got the call a few hours ago for my time slot. Fortunately both my surgery and next day follow up are scheduled with enough time for my husband to drop/ pick them up and still able to take me to all appointments, so yay!
Less than 24 hours to go!

Much better than I expected so far!
I usually have a rough time coming out of general anesthesia with shakes and teeth chattering. I woke in a great mood, the only side effect was a chemical aftertaste in my mouth but I’ll take it!
Dr David Kim came in and took the before pictures, double checked my wish pictures and was off getting ready. Quick and efficient, as well was his nursing staff.
I spent most of my time with the nurses who were all super friendly and professional 10/10.
The drive home was pretty easy, we stopped for food since I was starving! Got home around 3ish and have taken two naps since. I am able to get up myself and use the bathroom and walk around with no problems. Can wait to see them tomorrow! Wish they would have done a social media video so I could have watched it, but that’s okay.
Time to walk a lap in the house and drink more water :)
