Not Sure
Spent: $8,882 in Montclair, nj

I wanted surgery because I was tired of my droopy breasts after 60lbs weight loss. There was so much skin that I couldn't wear any flattering shirt even though I had lost the weight.

I had a breast lift with implants yesterday and they are a lot bigger than I expected. How much of it could be do to swelling compared to breast? About what percentage, possible, could be swelling compared to what the end result wll be?

This related question may help. It doesn't list percentages but I would imagine that's quite an individual thing.

When does swelling after breast augmentation begin to subside?

Best of luck with your recovery!

I would love to keep you updated with how I am doing. My surgery was Tuesday (3 days ago almost) So far the swelling, I hope it is swelling, is scary. My chest looks huge, I would compare it to Pamela Anderson. I had let my surgeon know that I did not want to be big and even brought her a picture of Kendra Wilkinson to show her, "do not make me this big." I want to be proportioned. I filled out a 34d before surgery, although it was allllll skin and there was a double boob thing at the top. I wanted a small 34 d post op. I really hope this swelling goes down by a lot. As of now, they def. look too huge for my frame. Whatever you are thinking to get, I would go 1 cup size smaller. As of pain, don't sweat it, the worst it gets is the soreness you feel after lifting weights. Please, let me know more details or more specific questions and I will answer as best I can. Best wishes!

Hey, I don't know if you will get this because it was so long ago that your wrote it... but I am thinking about getting this same surgery because of my weight loss. I used to be a 36DD but when I lost all of my weight I went down to a 32 C... but most of it is skin... Do you like what you did? Are you happy with it now? Would you do anything different? Any suggestions? Thanks...
