16 weeks post op and unhappy
Hello, I hoped you might be able to give me you opinion/advice.
I am 16 weeks post op. I am very annoyed with myself as I have ended up with breast which are too small and not all all what I had wanted.
I had three consultations two with surgeons and one with a nurse which I didnt follow through to the next stage which would have been the third surgeon. When I went for my pro op with the surgeon who carried our my BA, I was instantly at ease with him as he came across as very kind and experienced. My consultation lasted about 5 minutes in total. I was measured asked what size id like to be and sent in to see the patient care coordinator to discuss dates and times. I was completley unaware that there was an option to go over the muscle and I was never given sizers to try. I was told the largest I could have was 385cc which would take me to a DD at least. I wanted to be as big as possible and so accepted that was my only option. I have only since discovered that overs would have given me more options size wise, I had good skin and after two babies im pretty sure I could have had the overs.I did mention this to my surgeon at a post op visit and he responded that unders were better for long term because of risk of sagging .....obviously unders are his preference as Id say are smaller breasts.
I am completley disappointed with the size. they may measure a D but they look about a B maybe C I look no bigger than I achieved pre ba with fillets and padding and am still wearing padding I wouldnt wear a non padded bra. Obviously I wouldnt wear no bra either which was my main aim. Also my right boob is smaller, I have had pain and discomfort since the biginning I am always aware of my right breast and it feels to be much further to the leftunder the arm resulting in my left clevage always being higher and my right lower. I feel the right breast should be been given a larger implant as the BA has magnified the difference between the two. The other surgeon I had seen was going to use 45cc more in the right and was offering 410cc.
Also profile was never discussed, again I didnt know there were options here. I brought magazine with me to the hospital and showed my surgeon. Knowing what I know now the picture were definietly moderate profiles. I have ended up with high, I dont hate them I just feel the moderate would have made me appear bigger naked?
All in all, I have an appointment in February to discuss my concerns, I have made it no secret from the beginning that I dont like the size.
If I emailed you some pics do you think you could take a look for me and see what you think. I have two small children, I have used all my savings. I desperately wish I was happy and could just move on which I try to do on a daily basis but Im not. Does drop and fluff really exist? at 16 weeks have I more changing to do, In reality am I going to get any bigger.
Sorry for taking up your time. any help advice would be great. Should I just suck it up. Should I have done my research first and known all my options and questions or was it the job of the surgeon and to advise me of them. Please be brutally honest.

Re: 16 weeks post op and unhappy
Its really sad that after all the money spent, pain endured and well lots of expectations, we still end up not being completely happy. I know exactly what you are going thru. I am still wearing padding in my bra's. I really wish I could turn back time and go with bigger implants.
I however did a lot of research and I chose the size implant and projection. I also chose the incision site and also where to place the implants, I'm happy with all my choices, all expect one...THE SIZE.
I showed my surgeon what I wanted via photo's and he assured me I would achieve that with my choice of implant volume, but low and behold, I look nothing like the photo's.
Really sorry you are feeling this way. ....If you want I can have a look and I promise to give my honest opinion
