400 HP silicone implants 112lb 5'3

Buckle up, this is gonna be a long one!
I finally did it after years of being too scared to finally pull the trigger and I am loving my results so far!! 22 y/o 112lb 5'3 petite build, I was a 32D (in Victoria's Secret sizing) before surgery but realistically I was probably a B cup. Size 4 in lululemon bras if that helps. I had nice cleavage but just wanted a bit more projection, my ribs stuck out just as much as my boobs did. I went to one consultation before Dr Kim so I already had a good idea of what I wanted The consultation was quick and he was very professional and patient. Decided to pull the trigger and book my surgery date for later that same month! Pre op appointment was fairly easy, it was right downstairs from Dr Kim's office. I'm a big scaredy-cat of needles and drs so I cried during my blood draw but it was worth it. I definitely had cold feet the night before & morning of surgery but I knew there was no backing out since it was fully paid for. The ladies at the front desk are so warm and welcoming it definitely made me feel better and the IV insertion wasn't as bad as I expected, it was easier than the blood draw. Prior to this, I never had an IV or surgery, only had my blood drawn a couple times in my life and was deathly afraid of needles/drs/everything. Once my IV was in, dr Kim gave me a quick rundown of the surgery again and I can't remember if he drew on me or not. Made it to the OR and then the anesthesia hit quickly and I was out. I woke up in their recovery room where they monitored me for about an hour after surgery, the anesthesia made me nauseous but I think they gave me something for it, I was loopy so I don't remember exactly. My scheduled surgery time was 6am, I had to take an anti nausea pill at 4am and I was leaving to go back home from surgery around 9am. I relaxed and tried to sleep for the morning-afternoon but my throat was very sore. You have to eat a meal with each pill they give, I started antibiotics that evening and took the pain meds just in case (I wasn't in any pain yet but was trying to make sure I wasn't going to be). The first night was really rough. The anesthesia made me so nauseous, I couldn't eat anything without dry heaving and throwing up water since I was drinking so much. I also couldn't pee, I drank probably 7 or 8 water bottles and was so bloated and couldn't pee until about midnight when I had to run to the bathroom to make it. The next morning I was feeling a million times better, no pain just slight discomfort and I was able to eat normally. Throat was feeling better. I was able to go on a short walk, run a couple errands (I didn't drive), and was pretty much back to normal besides feeling like I had a couple oranges stuck in my bra and a little discomfort. It's such a weird feeling at first, they don't feel like part of your body yet. I wasn't on any pain meds besides the day of surgery and felt perfectly fine, just was taking antibiotics 4 x a day. Sleeping propped up was hard, I bought a wedge pillow on Amazon to help. Dr Kim called me the day after surgery to just check up on me. I was super bloated from the anesthesia and pooped first time 3 days after surgery. I had a follow up appointment with him 1 week later just to go over any questions and show me the massages. At this point I was so freaked out, they were high and hard and I thought I went too big. I looked in the mirror and almost cried because I thought they were way too big. I'm now almost 4 weeks post op and they feel normal (not oranges in my bra anymore) and I am really happy with the size dr Kim and I decided on, maybe could've gone even bigger. Im not sure if it was just my body or if it was dr Kim's technique but I was so shocked I didn't need any pain meds! I read so many reviews and was dreading the pain of day 3 recovery but it never came. I'm incredibly happy with my results so far and couldn't recommend dr Kim more for a breast augmentation!
