11 years ago, when I was 18, I had saline breast...

11 years ago, when I was 18, I had saline breast implants placed under the muscle, taking me from a small a to a full c. Over the past few months, I began to notice some funny changes in my breasts and I thought one was slowly deflating, but it turned out that I was actually developing cc on the other side, so it made the breast that was normal look deflated by comparison. In any case, I had the revision done by a different doctor--(I moved from the West Coast to the East Coast)--about 3 weeks ago. I was amazed at how easy the second surgery was and I was really pleased with how much better I felt, at first, but now, three weeks out, I am getting really worried. My breasts are hugely different sizes and I worried that I already developing CC on the side that had it before. Meanwhile, the breast that my doctor thinks looks normal looks very small and funny to me, but that could be because of what I am used to my breast being like. I thought I was going a tiny bit smaller and my doctor said that my new implants are only about a tablespoon smaller than my old ones, but at the moment, I just don't know what to think. I will upload photos and I welcome people to let me know their thoughts--(please be kind).

My doctor said I'm fine to ski this coming week, but I am nervous.

It has been exactly one month and two days since...

It has been exactly one month and two days since my surgery and although I was quite nervous about it, I followed by doctor's advice and went downhill skiing today. The first couple of runs were fine--I kept my upper body as still as possible and really used my legs and feet to steer, avoiding any and all use of my upper body. I had two men buckling my boots and snapping me out of my skis, so that I would not put too much pressure on my arms and I avoided the black diamond runs I normally love. I skied all morning and although I had moments of not feeling totally comfortable, I felt that I was not pushing myself too much and that all was ok. By the time we sat down for lunch. I was truly miserable. I felt like one of my breasts had literally moved under my armpit and both breasts just felt terrible. I was wearing quite a supportive sports bra, but just the vibrations made by turning quickly on icy patches and moguls, made my breasts move a lot more than I wanted them to and felt just incredibly uncomfortable. I am here on this ski trip for another five days and I love skiing, but I am in incredible pain after my day on the mountain and I think my breasts are both a bit swollen after just one day on the slopes. Most of the doctors on this site seem not to think that it's a great idea to ski a little over a month after sub-muscular breast augmentation or revision surgery, but my doctor has alway assured me I would be fine to make this trip--we even discussed it prior to my surgery and he told me I would be good to go. My breasts are stinging and aching and they are both swollen and hard, in a way they had really not been up until now. I have a ski pass for the next four or five days and right now, I truly want to keep skiing. but I am beyond freaked out about what this might be doing to my breasts. If I can find a garment that keeps me totally secure, which my sports bra today failed to do, do you think I am fine to continue skiing, or is there a chance I am risking really hurting myself? I am less and less inclined to trust my own doctor and I am sick of trying to track him down for answers and I am terrified that he lead me in the wrong direction, by telling me I would be fine to ski in the first place. As I am not in the United States and am in the mountains, it's tricky for me to see a doctor here, so I am hoping some of you will be able to assuage my fears, or at least give me the information I need to make an informed decision. Thank you so much in advance!

My mother suggested this surgeon and he is Yale-affiliated and shares a practice-(esana med spa)- with a well-respected female surgeon, who is featured on real self. It looks like he gets good reviews for things like botox, but if you are in the market for good boobs, stay away from this clown.
