WORTH IT$7,500
I recently had a breast augmentation done by Dr. Eugene Kim. It was a great experience. I had been debating for a quite a while whether or not to get the procedure done and had originally had multiple consultations with various doctors a year prior to my surgery. I ended up literally taking almost a year of debating with myself on whether I wanted the procedure done. However, during my various consultations I knew I had found a doctor that I felt comfortable with if I decided to get the procedure done. I must have asked him hundreds of random questions over the year when I was trying to decide if I was going to do the procedure. And even though I hadn't signed up for the procedure, he was always incredibly helpful and very quick to respond to all of my questions.

The procedure was seamless from pre-opt to the day of survey to recovery. I went with silicone implants, moderate plus, under the muscle and through the nipple. I'm still in "recovery" period but I have felt great the entire time and since I did the procedure around a holiday, I only took two days off from work. I would suggest taking an extra day off though (so you have a full week after your day of surgery to rest because the day I went back to work, even though I felt fine, I was just super tired). I didn't feel any pain or discomfort, just rested a ton.

My doctor, Dr. Eugene Kim was awesome! I highly recommend him for breast augmentation. He's incredibly professional, very helpful and patient with all your questions, and really just wants to ensure you have a great procedure. His office staff is friendly and polite and the clinic/office where he practices is gorgeous and very clean. I felt much more at ease in his office compared to some of the other clinics/offices that I visited during my consultations to other doctors.

Congratulations! It sounds like all your research paid off! What type and size implants did you get? In hindsight, what was one of the most important things you did throughout your research?

275 cc moderate plus silicone - went from a B to a C cup. In regards to my research, just being able to ask a lot of questions and find a doctor who was willing to provide the time and answers so that I was comfortable with the procedure was the most important. However, I will say because your breasts are swollen for a few weeks post surgery, you get the feeling that your breasts could have been bigger once the swelling goes down, but still very happy with my size. One thing I would caution is that thinking of your size just in terms of a bra size doesn't always translate.

I have heard other members mention that they became accustomed to their initial swollen size and felt a little dismay when the swelling subsided. Gad you're happy...I'm certain there will be times you will be very grateful you aren't any bigger. ;) Thank you for your helpful feedback!
