Feeling deflated!

Hi ladies,

Feeling a little deflated about my boobs today. At first I thought they were too big now thinking they aren't quite big enough. Not meant to be wearing my Macom until Saturday (been bare boobed since my op on the 15th) but thought I would today to go into town feel a bit more supported etc but my boobs look loads smaller clothed than I would have wanted!
I know they are bigger (was 34a had 380cc HP round dual plane unders) but once the Macom and clothes were on they looked rubbish, because of my padded bras I used to wear not much bigger! I wanted to at least look like I had gone under the knife!
It is silly I know because when I'm naked it's obviously better but I just want people to see it too.

Anyone else felt this way too?

Hi Zebra,

I had mine done on the same day as you, and although i am really pleased with the results (and theyre getting nicer everyday!) I have noticed they dont look very big in clothes.....I think this is quite common in augmented ladies shrug

Did you take any before pictures, as when im feeling a bit low about them, ive looked at my pre op pics to remind myself how good they look now! :thumbs:

Also with me, because i had slight asymmetry (less volume in one) i can still see it now, (I know that the surgeon said he doubts it would be corrected) but i was sort of hoping it would be less noticeable lol.

I think the thing with us (well defiantly me!) is that we can scrutinise them too much, no one has 'the perfect boobs' because everyone's idea of perfect is different, i think we're just just to being overly critical.

yes

Dont forget that the Macom is a compression garment.. like a sports bra so it will "minimise" the look of your boobs... also as u have unders you will notice an increase in size when the "fluff". Dont be disheartened hun, I'm sure the big boobies you want are right there... they are just hiding under your tight muscle and that damn Macom!! Feeling deflated! 113752

I had this feeling like a 2 weeks after my op...
I was very happy naked with them but when clothed they did look small...

All the lovely ladies on here told me to wait till I can wear underwired bras and the difference it will make...

5 stone down is right, compression bra and sports bra flatten them...
you have to wait for the muscle to relax and they will change...unders are different to overs.

what you have now is not your final result xxx

Hi Vicki! Yeah I have a few pics of before and did look at them earlier and thought wow, soooo much better and happier but I just want to look it too! Dunno why, shouldn't really care about what people think but you do, don't you. I alos had slight asymmetry issue but oddly now the smaller boob to start with is now the bigger one...dn't really understand that! But thank you, it's true we are to hard on ourselves and are our own worst enemies! Need to slap myself a bit, lol!! x

Aw thanks 5Stonedown! You are right about the Macom but I guess when you are feeling all boob hating you don't think rationally! I can't wait until the fluffing stage, knowing my luck it won't happen to me haha x

Hi Bouncy DD! Yeah very true, thanks Feeling deflated! 4239681551

As you'll know you just can't seem to look past today with them, I can't imagine how much they will change over the next few months but that doubting part of me thinks they won't change, lol! Need to stop worrying so much and think about bra day maybe x

I'm 5 weeks post op tomorrow, I am still in sports bras and felt exactly the same to start but now I can actually notice they are bigger under my clothing, ok it may look the same as when I was wearing padded bras but I just remember that it's not its all boob and at the moment being squashed in a sports bra. You will feel so much better when you get into normal bras xx

Being able to wear wires makes all the difference to how your boobs look, augmentated or real.

There are different bras to create different looks for your boobs. Sports bras are designed to keep the breasts stable, in order for them to do that they compress them against the chest, like a minimiser making your boobs appear smaller than they are.

The most eye popping wired bras I have are the balconettes. Pop one of those babies on there ain't no-one gonna miss what ma surgeon gave me!!! dance
