Breast Implants and Headaches/backaches Between the Shoulders?

I had breast implants 3yrs ago. I was a "B" however, The surgeon recommended to get a lift and implant however, the surgeon would not do them at the same time and told me if i wanted to do the implant then do the lift later if we didn't like it. I took his advice in addition to the size and he told me that it would take more to fill the area than what I wanted to be which was a "C". He did tell me I may be a D depending.. I am now a DD and doctors treating me for pain mgt think it is from size?

Smaller breast implants may improve symptoms.

Hi. You wanted to be a C cup and you are a DD cup. And you have back and shoulder pain. You need to be evaluated because you may benefit by having smaller implants.

Implants and back pain

Very large implants have more weight than very small ones. The back pain may or may not be related to the implant. It is reasonable to draw that conclusion, but one must rule out other causes that usually cause back pain- muscle, disk, nerve, skeletal, etc. Also, capsular contractures may be at play If a workup reveals that the implants are in fact the problem, you have to decide to remove them, replace them, or live with them. If a lift is needed, this... more

Breast Implants and Headaches/backaches Between the Shoulders?

Women with naturally large breasts often seek a surgeon's help because of back pain. It is surprising to me how few women with large breast implants develop back pain, but it appears that you have that problem. It would be helpful to see before and after pictures, your height and weight, and to know how large the implants that you have are. I can't tell from the narrative if you have had the breast lift.

What I mean when I say "fit" is when I loose weight the breast look even bigger and I am not comfortable with it. What bothers me most is the discomfort and headaches so I am eager to find out what can be done? Can he offer to minimize the size without charging if I pay for the lift? Going into this I was happy with my size, I just wanted them fuller and proportioned but breastfeeding made my skin stretch. I am not sure what size to discuss with the Dr.? I paid into pain management over 10,000.00 out of pocket for chiropractic, accupuncture and prolotherapy to get me through the days since the surgery. I had a minor car accident after the surgery didn't hit the chest on the steering wheel but my hands and arms froze up and the muscles in my chest stiffened up from me holding the wheel so tight. I hope he doesn't say it is from the accident? I have two young children too. All suggestions and feedback are appreciated.

I was a 38b and now I'm 38dd. I tried to summarize however, I exceeded the post limit. I have no b4 pics, doc won't release?? I see him in am will I have to pay again. No lift was done but recommended. He wouldn't do both proc at same time and said in order to fill skin I had to go larger. I tried because people said the size doesn't matter. I weigh 160lbs but breast are bigger than body. I want to get fit but breast will be too large.
