WORTH IT$4,000
I got my BA last year and this year I had to go back for a revision surgery because one of the pockets opened up. I don't know what the cause of this is but I had to get this taken cared of right away. Aside from the revision surgery, what I'm having a hard time is dealing with the size I chose. I wanted something that was proportionate to my body. My doctor recommended 325cc but I got scared and at the last minute changed it to 300cc. Now the more I work out, I feel like my breasts are getting smaller. I guess I'm keep losing the breast tissue which I didn't have much to begin with or now that the breasts have settled and all the swollen is gone, I guess they look different to me than before. I don't know if this is just in my head and I'm just being silly. I went from a 32A to a 32DD. I know this seems a lot but I don't really see my new girls to be that big! Has anybody else gone through this?

It's been a week since my revision surgery. I'm feeling better and so far I'm happy with the results. Last week when I started posting my story and pictures here, I was a bit down about my size but I'm coming to terms with myself and I'm starting to like what I see. I've found some really cute shirts and bathing suits that make the girls look really nice! I've also spent a good amount if time reviewing other profiles and its nice to relate to some if these stories and receive positive feedback. From the moment I decided to get implants, I didnt realize this ride was going to be a physical change and emotional. I'm still glad I went through it. Now I can't wait to start working out again. I'm looking for a good sports bra ... Anybody have any recommendations?

Susie, did you have both breasts worked on? Because your breast on the right side might still be bottomed. It's a condition where them pocket extends the informammory fold. If you want a 2nd option my dr is in Houston offers free consultation. Maybe he could examine you for free and you will know for sure... But ether way you got a great pair. My where very very bottomed out.... Yours if at all, is very minor.

Hi Ariana,
Yes, my right breast was bottomed out. I had revision surgery 8 days ago and I'm happier now. Do you know the cause of yours? Since you've gone through the same thing, are you staying away from certain exercises to prevent this from happening again? My fear was that I wasn't wearing the proper support since in a runner. Anyhow, I'd live to hear your thoughts.

i understand totally what you mean by it made your day! when i tried that push up bra i loved it, but never thought would ever do that even two weeks ago! i am built low breasted, so if i want more upper fullness i realized i had to do it, but when i do not, i just wear regular bras.i had moments when i thought maybe i should be bigger but then realize it is not for me, because with my lower breast line, i would just be bigger lower down, but nothing more on top.so in my case i might hang more.the smaller size keeps me up and perky. even tho i am lower. i quite like being able to show it more, or not show as much. if i want to wear a dance leotard, i can do it without looking out of place, and my breasts do not feel too heavy.but it was certainly fun to wear that intimacy pushup bra today! see it on my profile photos.

i know how you feel susietexas: i want to be as big as i can be: lol; intimancy have bras that go all the way up to F cup; they are expensive; i just typed in intimacy.com and the website pulled up! i usually dont buy bras online unless i try them on at the department store first; than i go online and buy one in each color; every designer bra fit me differently!

Hi there! Did the doctor say anything about your left breast? I noticed that its lower and leaning towards the side.
As far as bras I use wireless. I have been really happy with target bras. I would never have bought Target bras before BA, but now don't need any padding and wires. For night time I use VS like: http://www.victoriassecret.com/pink/bandeaus-and-bralettes/lace-bralette-pink?ProductID=115904&CatalogueType=OLS
My boyfriend LOVES hat bra. Just the right support and super comfortable.

Thank you for sharing your story on RealSelf. When you had your revision, did your PS have to do work on both breasts? Were you a bit unsure about the size before the revision? Wondering if you could have had larger implants put in during the revision surgery? Personally, I think you look just right! I agree that you become accustomed to your breasts and they start to look smaller! :)
Sorry the PS was grumpy! I think this may have worked out for the best. You could have had other problems with an exchange. What you did was probably less invasive and like you said, free! You really came a long way from your before photos too! Looking forward to your updated pictures!
