Hi, I wanted a breast augmentation so that I could fit into clothes and feel more girly. I was virtually flat chested and very self conscious about it. I went from a 32 aa to a 32 b so not huge implants. I was so excited before the surgery I didn't even think about recovery time. I counted down the days until I would have boobs and imagined myself immediately walking around with natural looking breasts even if my surgeons had told me otherwise. Keep in mind, I am a VERY active person. I do crossfit and run almost every day. I had mild concerns about losing muscle and getting out of shape but hey, I'd give anything for BOOBS!! Immediately after the procedure I was happy with the results, Oh my gosh, I could fit into strapless dresses! But then I started noticing how fake they looked, comparing them to my mom's. They were so high and stiff. I began doubting myself and searching the internet where I found so much negative criticism of girls who get boob jobs it brought me into a crying mess that lasted for 2 days. I am feeling extremely restless and am gaining weight because I tend to eat when I'm stressed and haven't been excersizing. I miss working out so much! I feel like I am missing out on summer. My friends keep inviting me to go swimming but I can't. I am scared to even see them because they will immediately notice how fake my breasts look (although my mom assures me they really don't look that bad). My PS assures me the procedure went well and that in a couple more months they will drop and look more natural. However, I am so scared that people will look at me in a swimsuit and immediately know I got a boob job and judge me. I am scared for college. If I hook up with a guy and he rejects me because my breasts feel fake to him. Most of all right now I miss my old life. I feel like I have 2 rocks strapped to my chest. I want to get back to my healthy happy lifestyle but am in a serious funk. I miss my friends, I miss working out. My mom doesn't know how to handle my tears. She was so supportive and never doubted my decision. I wish she would have. I don't want to be flat chested, but I don't want everyone thinking I'm fake. I am also worried about my legs getting fatter. By the way, I am a very lean person and my mom says the extra fat is good for me and each days a new day and today she will help me control my diet. I am 5'4" 103 lbs and very muscular. Gahh just so restless and missing my friends and doubting my decision. I need support!!!!

2 weeks post op. What do you guys think? I want them to drop and fluff so I can see the final results!! Right now I feel like I have rocks strapped to my chest. I know they are far apart but that is my natural anatomy according to my PS. I got a breast aug because I was virtually flat chested, AA. I just stopped growing at age 13 :((. I am now a B cup which is what I hoped for. I really really hope they start to look more natural soon.

I'm sorry that your unhappy. I promise you it gets better. I had my BA 10 Weeks ago. My breast were high and stiff like a rock. I started to massage them at 6 Weeks post op. They have dropped dramatically and are a lot softer and have more bounce, so to speak . You just need to have a little more patience. It takes time. I think you will be surprised that your close friends
will love your new look. One of my friends went to my Dr to have her BA done. All that matters is that you're happy . Not your friends.

Hold on! They will change a lot! When they start to drop, and you can help with massages, they will look a lot different! Just remember to keep breathing in and out, this will pass they're going to look better and if you don't like the way they look you can get re operated, it's not ideal but it's in the cards!
And when your friends invite you out for the pool just opt for a strapless top or buy one of the new bikini tops that are more sporty those I feel help me a lot...
As for how guys feel about it ( I'm a girl that hangs out with a lot of guy friends) and behind closed doors they consider that a bonus as much as we don't want to hear it!!!!!

They will look great!!! I promise you will absolutely love them in a few months. Seriously!!!

Is rippling a big deal?
zipzagymratJuly 3, 2013
I got saline implants and my PS told me since I had such little breast tissue rippling would be expected. There is rippling as seen in this picture on my left side when I slouch. Is this a big deal?

Hey ☺BLOCK THE NEGATIVITY. Seriously, don't go to sites that are filled with people who are negative. honestly, would you really want people like that around you anyway?
Read other postop stories here and look at pics. I'm no expert, but yours look similar to other pics I have seen of people at that stage.
Know that your mom would not likely let you make such a major decision if she didn't think it was right for you.

Give it some time honey, they will drop and soften. It wasn't until about 6 weeks PO when I could see and feel a big difference with my implants. My pecs were super tight and held onto the implants for dear life...you are in super great shape so I'm sure all your great muscle tone is doing the same. Have u started massages? My surgeon had me start squeezing the top of my implant downwards to encourage them:-) around 3 weeks but I know some surgeons don't recommend them.
Could u try mentioning your distress to your PS? It is not at all uncommon to feel the blues after a surgery. Im sorry your feeling cruddy after having your BA.

I'm sorry your feeling down. You need to give it more time to see the results! Don't worry about what other people think all the matters is what YOU think. There will always be people who agree or disagree with your decisions in life and you cannot live life worrying about what someone else might think or say! Read lots of story's on this site it will help you. But please remember that you are the only one who matters and if someone doesn't "like" your breast augmentation so what it's not there body and its not there decision!

I'm right at 2 weeks as well and also an emotional roller coaster lol. My sister got hers done 8 weeks ago and they look amazing. You already have an amazing body that you work hard for now you have amazing boobs to go with it :D happy time!

You got boobs for a boost of self esteem and you ended up with soggy cheerios...something I think everyone your age goes through. As long as you did it for the right reasons it doesnt matter what others think...and if you're worried about your friends judgment then maybe they arent the best friends to have. It sounds like its not the boob job thats getting you down but your self esteem
