Provider Review
I should have written this review back in March shortly after my surgery so I could have given everyone the option to read my story but I am just getting to it now… sorry for the delay. The doctor that I went to initially performed a breast augmentation of 650cc sub pectoral in both of my breast. During the period of recovery my right implant began to contract and the left one continued to drop. I ended up going in for a capsular contraction in my right breast 6 months after my first procedure. Right after my procedure I could tell that there was something seriously wrong with my right implant… there was nothing supporting it and it just seemed to hang. I was convinced that the Dr. had detached the implant from my body completely and the only thing holding it in my chest was my skin. Over the course of the next year I suffered with severe pain in my chest while doing daily things. It became nature for me to walk around with my arm propped up under my boob in fear that if I didn’t hold it there it would fall. I went back to the doctor with concern that my muscle was detached from my chest but he told me everything was fine that it was the left breast that we should be worried about because it seems to be contracting too. I was completely confused and felt like I needed to seek the advice of another doctor because I knew that my muscle was not holding my implant anymore and that my left breast was fine. I found two doctors near me that had great reviews and I decided to check both out because the one told me that I needed both implants removed and a breast lift done…. I couldn’t even believe it. There was no way that I need a breast lift done because I didn’t have anything hanging that much that I would need to have a lift. I FINALLY made my appointment to meet with Dr. Kim and she gave me so much hope that I was fine and simply needed some stiches put around the side and underneath my implant to hold it in place. It was such a relief to have a doctor listen to me and hear how I feel and what I am feeling and not make me feel like I am crazy. Dr. Kim didn’t run me in circles with all these different problems she just kept it simple and to the point of exactly what I needed and how it would be done. She gave me two options, I could either just get the stitched or I could choose a gala-flex to go with the stitches to ensure with my gym lifestyle that the implant would stay in place for a VERY long time. I may of not show it to them but I was beyond excited that I wouldn’t have to wear a sports bra and holding my breast in place so it wouldn’t hurt during sexual activity. I was also super excited about not having to prop a pillow under the side of me while I sleep so it wasn’t causing pain as it hung from my chest. I can’t even express my feelings for her and all the staff in her office. Dr. Kim will make you feel so excited about any procedure you go to her for because she is super sweet and invested into her job and helping people feel better about themselves. I did a lot of reading about her experience as a doctor… from being a double-board certified plastic surgeon (which you always want from a doctor) she also trained in breast reconstruction, which was a big plus for me. Sarah the practice administrator was BEYOND amazing, I told her about my available dates in the next week after that apt and then if that wouldn’t work I would have to wait a couple of months. Sarah literally had my apt scheduled the SAME WEEK… three days after my first apt. I have meet most of her nurses and they have all been so amazing, whether it was just to get blood drawn to prepping me for surgery or standing there by the bed when I woke up. Rachel, Pamela, and Lindsay were the few that I specifically remember because they had been with me during the prepping from my surgery and after and then for all my post-op appointments. I am sure all her staff has seen me but I was probably out cold if they did haha! I am now 5 months post-op and I can’t even begin to describe how amazing it feel to not have to wear a bra for support. The recovery was not bad at all and I feel wonderful in my body again. I absolutely love the was my breast are symmetrically compared to how they have been for the past two years. I had lost all sensation in my right breast after my surgery for the capsule contraction and I have regained most sensation thanks to Dr. Kim and her team. If I had a chance to go get my breast augmentation done again for the first time I would have chosen Dr. Kim because I know that she would have given me exactly what I wanted the first go around. I would just have to say don’t make the mistake I made, just choose her and all your body dreams will be fulfilled.
