not really happy!

by **maddy1229** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 7:53 pm

I am 10 days post op and i feel like my boobs have shrunk! I originally asked for a FULL C...but I feel like they are a small C =( I liked the size I was after surgery...I should have asked for Ds. I used to be a 34B and I got the silicone memory gel moderate profile. He gave me 350cc in each, but my left is slightly bigger than my right and that really bugs me. I just keep thinking I should have gotten saline and a bigger size and I doubt I can have a revision done just because I am unhappy with the size. I just hope I end up liking it....I spent way too much money to not be completely satisfied! Not sure what to do..........maybe it's just all in my head lol I go in 3 days to get my stitches out, but I might be too afraid to even say how I really feel. Has anyone else had this problem??

HI

I was not happy with my result about 10 days po also. I am 3 weeks po now. When I went at around 10 days I wasnt sure if I should say something either. I know exactly how you feel. I think when we imagine our results, we either have a very clear of a picture of what we want: like wanting it to look exactly like a pic we found, or, not a clear vision then we are suprised at the outcome. I think you should voice your concerns to your ps, but I wouldnt start asking about revisions just yet. I was so upset around 10 days po I wanted them taken out, but now I am happy with them and Im so glad I had a change of heart. I believe in a week or so you might feel differently as well. Good luck!

hi there!!! you did not talk whit the doctor first about the material of your implants, because if you use saline their going to get smaller at time because the material it evaporate's at time is much better if you use gel implants. I had mine about five years ago and they look pretty good

Hi Maddy1229... well at 10days post op you are certainly very early in your progress. I'm 6 weeks post op and even now, one of my breasts is higher and smaller than the other, but I'm told that this is normal healing for many woman and that in fact your breasts have many many more changes to come over the next 6 months at least. The implants still have to settle down into the pockets and each breast can do this at it's own rate, separate from the other, but they do end up catching up with eachother. I would definitely mention your concerns to your PS. I do at every visit I have with mine. At the last visit he put a band on me to help the one breast start dropping faster. He will not even consider doing a revision until 6 months have passed. He thinks I am going to be fine by 6 months.

Hang in there luv , many lovely changes ahead of you...

I think it is very important to express your concerns to your ps about how they look, feel, how you feel about them. They want to know how you feel and if your happy with the results and if your not happy. If your not happy they want to know that too. Talk to them.. let them know your feelings. It may not be anything that they did wrong, it may simply be the fact that they just haven't dropped yet and your not seeing their final glory. You may need your ps to see it for you.

You ps is going to be there for you and understand that if your not happy it could be just the 4 week post op blues or it is truly the too small blues. It could be that they haven't dropped and your ps knows that they will and you just have to wait for it.

But talk to them and let them be there for you.

thanks everyone =) I am feeling better about them now lol my ps said i can start wearing a soft cup bra and wear my sportsbra at night so i went to try on new bras just to see...and it is starting to look really good! Not sure if i could handle it being bigger....i think a full C is perfect for my body frame. A lot of people don't even realize i got breast implants. good thing i got memory gel!
