I have no words other than I just cannot wait to get this corrected. The scarring is terrible. Been using mederma, cicature, vitamin e, and silicone scar patches. Dr. will not do a revision until the scarring goes away. Nothing is ok about this. He also says he will have no choice but to replace with smaller implants. I just want my girls to look normal. That's all I want.

Well, my breast implants are looking better from the front at least. The side view still looks terrible in my opinion. Ready for my right implant to settle into place. I hope it naturally does. Surgeon says everything looks great and where it should be. Still wearing a T bra and sports bras.

Dr. Kim acts differently after you've gotten surgery compared to the initial consultation. The communication is not great. Right before my surgery as I was being marked on by Dr. Kim, he said last minute that he may put in a mesh bra. At the first post-op appointment I asked him if he put in the mesh bra and his answer was no, I didn't need it. I drive 3 hours because I did my research for over a year and on paper he is the best surgeon around my area. I usually feel rushed out of my post-op appointments. It wasn't until the 3rd post-op appointment when I told him once again I was still in pain, that my concerns were validated. My last appointment I was given instructions and prescriptions and was told the nurse would send them over and it's been two weeks without any word. He may be a surgeon and know how to perform the procedure, but I know my body and I know something isn't right. I can't help but to wonder if the mesh bra would have made a difference or not, but both the surgeon and I anticipated I would be healed by now. On my second post-op appointment I was told my restrictions were lifted so I went back to work and it ended up with me having to leave my job because of being in so much pain. With how my incisions are healing Dr. won't even agree to a revision surgery for almost a year. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to live a good quality of life like this.

Hi - I am sorry to hear about your long recovery process and pain. I am currently strongly considering Dr.Kim and went to my consultation today. I had prepared ton of questions, but to my surprise he said few things and the consultation was super short, I felt so rushed. like 10min tops he spent with me. But also, I see so many other great results and people vouching for him... just feeling a little conflicted.
