Breast Implants: Stories

Can you tell me who your PS was..I am also from Maryland and looking for a PS... Thanks Teresa

I honestly think your implant size is pretty small. my PS told me that 80% of people chosing implants under 300cc are not happy with the results. i think you should have gone with larger implants. I have a small frame and kinny and my doctor suggested implant size between 300 and 360 saline so i chose 330cc and im very pleased with the results and they look very natural.

are you still wearing the strap your doctor sent you home with.. Personally i think you should have went a little bigger.. maybe like a 350cc or 400cc

Yes, it is to early to tell. If you want perfect and exact that is not going to happen. Allow yourself sometime to heal and then if you are still unhappy discuss your options with your PS

I think you are healing well, and that your implants will drop considerably over the next few months, and that will cause the nipple to point straight ahead (or much closer to it). In other words, relax, be patient, and don't worry. Give it some time. Also, you can never achieve perfect symmetry. If you look closely enough at most anything you will see asymmetry.

I think its great that your surgeon is willing to reoperate and fix the asymmetry that is evident, and he deserves to be recommended on this basis. Personally, I think both implants could be replaced lower in the breast - the left around 10cm lower and the right around 20-25cm lower. Your nipples are downpointing in both, but signficantly so in the right. Also the cleavage created is too high. Surgeons are mindful to 'create' cleavage when placing an implant, and tend to place them on the high side if anything because an implant that is placed too low (particularly in a tight breast) is difficult (sometimes next to impossible) to push up in a bra because of adherence of the implant to the rear chest wall. Please look at my photos. I had similar issues - asymmetric and placed too high plus (in my case) overly large implants. In my revision surgery, the implants were placed slightly lower in the breast (around 10mm) & produced a much natural teardrop shape to the breast and better nipple placement. That was ten years ago and my breasts still look the same today. Feel free to print and show these photos to your surgeon for him to consider the possibility of slightly lowering the placement of both implants, not just the right. I wish for you happiness with the outcome of this significant surgery, and since your surgeon wishes this too, I think you are in safe hands.
