Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Apparently my videos are inappropriate, lol.
Sorry about the blank videos! Apparently the video host thought my videos were inappropriate and deleted them, and I cannot revise a post on this site once its submitted. Sheesh. I'm not sure how else to post them on here without getting into trouble with another photo hosting site, so if you'd like to see my videos on exfoliation and massage I am happy to email them to you!! :)

1 Month! Already!?
Hello ladies!! And I say that because I'm pretty sure its all women reading these things. Although its my boyfriend's opinion that men might be on here looking at our boobies. Yeah, he received an hysterical laugh at that comment. There isn't plenty of free [RS bleep] on the internet? They have to come here to listen to us whine and moan about our boob problems whilst fantasizing to our many scary surgery photos. Super Hot! He thinks he's funny. lol.
Anyhoo! Here I am, 1 month after my explant and still kickin! I have added some new photos so that you may see my progress (hopefully it is encouraging). All in all the boobies are feelin pretty damn good! They're super sore at the moment because its THAT time of the month, woo! but besides that... I'm still wearing tape 24/7 over my incision site. They told me I could shower in it etc, but I find it more beneficial to remove it a couple times a week in order to give my breasts a real good exfoliation (gently), and then message with raw organic coconut oil, and put fresh tape on. (I've had quite a few questions about this routine that I do. So I will be making a couple very short simple videos that show how I exfoliate, what I use, how I massage, etc). Every day I massage them at least a little, especially the hard scar tissue under my incisions. it still hurts, but this is normal.
My unruly right breast has been improving as you can see from photos, and is beginning to look a little more normal. It still needs to drop just a bit more, but at this point it looks pretty close to the left breast (minus some asymmetry that I've always had anyway). the nipple is still inverted a bit, but its better. both the massage, and NOT wearing a bra all day helps with this. Not to mention it feels amazing to not have to wear a bra!!! lol.
I no longer have any restrictions and may resume life normally. Although i'm still careful. They are tender, and if my nipple is grazed or my boob is bumped it DOES hurt. My skin looks just slightly tighter... but I expect it will take up to a year until I see the final result of what my breasts will look like. I have another doctors appt next week but I may have to move it to the following week.
The bra size i'm wearing is a 32C (for people unfamiliar with the way cup sizing works, like all the men my boyfriend thinks are reading this *cough*, that's the same as a 34B or a 36A I just have a small rib cage).
As far as how I'm feeling... my breasts get better and better, I'm even able to sleep pretty much in any position now although it still hurts to lie flat on them. the rest of my health is still not great. I'm still having severe headaches and migraines most days, and lots of vertigo. I'm still having random joint and muscle pain, tired, hard to sleep, etc. On the plus side... my mood has been a little better off and on, my appetite has improved, and I'm a little hornier. hahaha! I had zero sex drive for months, and it seems that its slowly coming back. My boyfriend is of course disgusted by this. hahaha! I am however having a TON of pain in my neck, base of my skull, shoulders and back, as if i have really painful pulled muscles all day every day. It really sucks.
Other than that I've just been plugging along, trying to get back into the swing of things. I'm hoping i'll feel well enough to get back to work sometime in the next month. Its not my breasts that are hindering me at this point, but my general health. I have to shoot a horror film soon and it will be incredibly difficult with how much pain and dizziness I'm currently having. So with fingers crossed, and a healthy lifestyle I'm hoping to improve soon! :)
Well, my head hurts pretty good right now so thinking of what else to write is on the frustrating side! lol. I shall add more later if I think of some other good points, and of course feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments! I hope everyone is well, and if not I hope you're getting there! ;)

Provider Review
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
26732 Crown Valley Pkwy., Mission Viejo, California
I would honestly recommend Dr. Kim to anyone! He is a kind, compassionate, and patient individual (I ask a lot of questions). From start to finish I was made both comfortable and confident by him and his staff. He was realistic with me about the outcome, but at the same time offered solutions for any problem that could arise without trying to deter me from my decision, or talk me into anything ridiculous (like new implants, or a lift that I did not need). He always answers my questions clearly, and then adds more info on top of that! I was given both his cell phone number and email and encouraged to contact him day or night if I had questions or concerns. The combination of his bedside manner and knowledge and talent as a surgeon led me to make the decision to have him do my procedure. I am delighted with my outcome, and would go back to him again!!
