Disappointed with size :(

Evening girls. For about a week or so now I've been feeling slightly disappointed with the size of my new boobs :( Every time I look down I feel they're not that much bigger than when I used to wear a seriously padded bra. Don't get me wrong, I know they're bigger but I can't help but feel I wish I could have gone for a slightly bigger implant. The only reason I didn't is that the surgeon told me I couldn't go any bigger safely. I had 300-350cc unders and I think I started at around an empty B cup. When I measure myself I think I'm only coming up at around a C cup which is disappointing after how much I've spent on my 'dream boobs'. Am I likely to get any bigger? Will this happen with any dropping/fluffing or am I totally mistaken? Maybe I'm just feeling a bit down in the dumps lol, sorry!

Hiya hun! When I last saw your pictures I thought they were a lot bigger with what you started with, and look good to. I'm having 300cc and can't go any bigger. Cause it's only over a month since you had your ba they still haven't 100% dropped or fluffed yet, give it time hun and they will look completely different. x x x x x

HH I totally understand your disappointment and will be following this with interest.  Have read so many confllicting accounts about drop and fluffing!  I'm measuring a 34d at the moment, but have quite a big frame and in clothes they're unnoticeable...even smaller than my padded bras! n I know that they'll look different when we can start wearing proper bras again, but I really hoped to never have to wear big bras again! xx

This is off a old link hope this helps about dropping and fluffing picture [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] x x

I have just shown hubby dropping and fluffling link above and he said ''Jesus, I can't believe these are the same boobs on every picture'' ha ha.
To be honest I am still amazed myself!
You are still early post op hh2121 and in two months time they will look different.
Did you go to get measured?x

Hey chick, 
I'm sure once you've done all your healing and settling your guna be so happy with them, are you sure you're measuring yourself properly ?? THere's a thread here somewhere on how to measure properly and not add the extra inches for the band xxxx

I'm sure you'll feel a lot better about them once they've fully settled and once you're wearing normal bras. When they soften you'll be able to push them up and create cleavage and they'll seem so mugh bigger. I do understand how you feel though, I had 330cc but I'm a size 10 top and 12 lower body so they aren't big on me at all. It's easy to get boob greed but then we must remind ourselves that if we've got the biggest an expert could give us based on our anatomy then c'est later vie! I have a narrow breast width despite being broad so couldn't have gone any bigger. I also remind myself that when I started this process I wanted nice natural boobs, which is what I've got. I didn't want to be the girl with huge boobs as personally I wouldn't have felt comfortable. It's easy to forget our original aspirations and get caught up in big boob world but I'm sure with the right bra and clothes you'll be loving them soon. Maybe try on a old bra as this will really help you see how much bigger they are! x

Excellent post mammamia   


I can't really add much to that other than to ask you not to judge your boobs just yet. 

When you get the all clear to wear regular bras you'll see such a difference. Right now you're looking at them in granny sportsbras squishing them in and not letting you see their full potential, which I might say you aren't going to probably see until six months plus when you've gone through the softening process. But whilst waiting for that to happen you can cheat a little with bras created to make boobs look a certain way.

For instance, a t-shirt bra to have a natural look. A plunge bra to create a little cleavage. A deep plunge bra to create a lot of cleavage and then there's the Balconette to give you back that global full upper pole look. 

It's around your stage in healing when we do have many women worried about having boob greed, but do you know what?..... There are so few that still have it after full recovery when theyve 'fully settled' which takes months!  

Give your boobs a chance to heal babe and reach their full potential. I'm sure you'll full so much better then. Xx

Great advice from all the ladies, you're not. C cup Hun, starting out at a b and adding 300cc is not going to give you a c cup! When you're given the all clear go and get properly fitted.

As cookie says it's the bra that gives you the boobs you want, to sculpt them to what look you're after! 

Sports bra do nothing for your boobs , they're designed to keep them supported, compressed.

You've also affirmed that that's the biggest you could have safely gone. You wouldn't have wanted a bigger implant that put you at risk of complications and would not have accomadated your body.

Once settled and fitted into an amazing bra you will think totally differently xx

Thanks girls, you're all so kind and have cheered me up that's for sure. I'm not sure if I have measured myself correctly although I did use the thread on here. It seems to come up differently each time I try. I have an appointment with my surgeon in 4 weeks time and I should get the all clear the wear normal bras then so will wait till then to get measured I think. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has felt this way. You're totally right though, I did set out to get 'nice normal natural looking boobs' and not 'giant Katie price boobs' so maybe I have just got caught up in the boob greed. I'm sure I have a lot of dropping and fluffing yet to do, I'm amazed by the difference in those pics! Fingers crossed Ill feel differently soon, it's probably like you say to do with wearing boring granny sports bras and them being compressed, want to see them at their full potential! Thanks again lovelies x

Don't forget chick, you might still have some swelling around your band and therefore that's why your coming out as a C cup.... And that might also be the case as you say each time you measure you come out differently.. Xx

So glad your happier hh2121, as you said still today when people think of boob job they think Jordan. I did, until my surgeon said natural is the way forward. Cause I went to chelmsford he showed me the towie implant, he said this looks fine on people with a bigger bwd than me. But cause I'm only 11.2 it looked massive on me lol x x

What's the towie implant?!
Glad you're feeling better Hun, I know in a short time you'll be back saying how great you feel! 

It was about 700cc implant. He let me try them on and my boyfriends eyes nearly popped out lol x x

700! Holy moly!x

Holy crap 700cc hehe bet they felt so heavy ! X
