Unhappy 1 Week Post Op Breast Lift / Augmentation (240cc)

ORIGINAL POST

Pros: My breasts are full and no longer droopy...

WORTH IT$7,000

Pros: My breasts are full and no longer droopy.

Cons: Not 100% happy Overall, the doc did go a great job, I'm just not totally satisfied. From my research of other women with full C's, I'm disappointed with my 240cc implants. I don't look like a full C :(

I'm one week post op and am not happy with the size. I thought they would have been larger. Should I wait until my breast "settle" to decide whether I'm unhappy? How long before I could get them redone? Do you think my surgeon would charge me again if I'm unhappy?

I had a breast lift and augment. My breast do look great, I just thought I was getting more than I actually have.

WOW that is really little for him to think you would be a "C". In my research at least 300cc is making a "C"...My most recent implants( May 6th ,09) are 533cc (I was a small deflated "B" before)and I stillwant to go bigger...doc said wait minimum 3 months and YES he will charge for new implants and anesthesia...so that is half of my original cost1/2 of my original cost! He said "oh to go bigger i just put you under and slip em in" I think to pay STINKS...but they feel we may not have communicated enough?? I think they like the extra money??
I had mine done and I had 310cc and im a D cup. I dont think you should pay for them. I am having them redone cuz they look to far apart and they are doing it free of charge and in the same time Im going bigger as well.
I just had mine done about 5 weeks ago. I also feel that I should be bigger than I am. He had ordered 3 different sizes ranging from 250cc to 300cc & "tried" them on when I was asleep. He ended up using the 250cc. They look proportional which was the "look" I was going for but I feel that still could've gone bigger & still look fine. I want to get them redone but everyone's telling me that I'm crazy. I did go & got measured at Victoria's. The lady told me I was a 32D. I told her that she was crazy until I tried on a bra & it fit perfectly. I still don't think I look that big tho.
Hi, I would love to know how you feel now... I am about a week post-op, 250cc, and hoping for a full B/small C... I was very small before, and I feel like my skin is stretching... PS also chose 250cc during surgery. Do they change that much from the first week? Thanks!
Hi. They do get a little fuller looking as they heal. I'm about 10 weeks post-op. They look great but just not as big as I had hoped for. I told the surgeon I wanted a natural look & that's what I got but I think I secretly wanted a "big" natural. I don't regret getting them done. I'm 5'5" and 108lbs. I now wear a 32C at Victoria's. The other day my gf said to me that she didn't even notice that I had them done & I think that was the "final straw" that pushed me to decide to go back and exchange them for bigger implants.
Same here. Vs lady told me yesterday I am 32d. I had 240cc put in 22 days ago. I just laughed.
When I went back to get the stitches out, the nurse was like, uh, did you get them done yet??? SHE didn't even notice!!!! I think I will end up a regular B, but I asked for a very full B or a small C... I don't know what to do, I'm so depressed!!!! FYI, I am 2 weeks post-op.
According to my surgeon, I'm a regular to full B. He says sometimes they "bump" up the bra sizes up. I'm also disappointed with my size but I did ask for a natural look. I just thought they would be bigger. The other day, my friend told me that she honestly couldn't tell I got them done & it upset me a little. I spent all this money & it's not noticeable. My husband doesn't want me to go back but I made up my mind. It stinks that I have to pay again but not as much as the first time. I have my surgery scheduled for 5/7 to exchange them. I'm thinking about 350-375cc. I told him to go as big as he could without having me look "busty".
Just had my second surgery last Friday. He replaced my 250 with 350cc's. So far, they look great & I'm very happy minus the fact I had to spend another $4500. But overall, it was worth it.
I am 1 week post op, I had 250cc's over the muscle with a lift.My Dr said that was the max he could fit. I was hoping for 300'ccs ... I think I will end up a C cup maybe not a full C as I had hoped. But I have cone boobs right now, they are so pointy!I know they say it takes a full 6 months to settle, but I am freaking out here ! Is this normal?
