HI Ladies.... My story...I had saline overs...

HI Ladies....
My story...I had saline overs 450CC 18 years ago, and they were AWESOME. I became a figures competitor and went from a 140lbs to 113, (I'm 5"4") As a result my breasts began looking rippled. I called my original PS and he stated that it was probably a result of the lack of breast tissue (fat) from my weight loss, which camouflaged the rippling that had likely been there for years..
Move ahead to this summer. I consulted with my original PS whom I really liked (and still do) and told him I did not want a LIFT due to the scarring. He said that we would have to go to a bigger implant, a 600CC (mentor) and recommended cohesive high profiles, and that under the muscle might be better in further camouflaging any rippling. Also that it might help to take up some loose skin that had developed from the years of the over the muscle salines.
I went in on October 21rst for my surgery. having a rather developed pectoral muscle, he stated after that he had a hard time fitting the implants but that would be fine. when i first saw them, I nearly freaked out! NOT at all what I had expected. It looked like 2 loaves of bread had been inserted into what used to be my nice round breasts.
He said that it would settle and drop and might take several weeks. Although the staff and my PS were wonderful, my husband and I detected some worrisome looks around the room after my first weeks post op check up.
Now I am three weeks post op..and although they seem to have taken a slightly rounder look compared to day 1-week 1 they are still.... well?? horrid!
I am sooo nervous that they won't get right ...I have scanned every site on the net for photos and have yet to find anything quite like these.
PLEASE if anyone had boobs that looked like this for the first while that actually turned out ok....I would love to hear from you.
I have managed NOT to get too depressed and haven't been reduced to crying jags yet, but need some positive feedback. Ohhh I haven't mentioned, but my Plastic Surgeon practices a 1000 miles from our home. My husband drove me there as I trust him and was not comfortable trying to find a new one. His staff has checked in with me several times on his behalf, and we have sent photos. He's asking me to be patient and send again at 6 weeks.
I have put photos below so that you gals can get an idea of what i am talking about ...
Thanks so much for any feedback... CVS

Great review?
My Doctor: name not provided
My rating:
I still consider my Doctor excellent. I am just not sure if he has preformed this kind of surgery on an athlete ...that is getting replacements and going under from over ...as well as moving from 450's to 600's....saline to cohesive...
hi ! i m passing the same thing as you. i ve had pip implants 7 yrs ago so i had to change them , i have the new implants 480 under the muscle 12 days ago. but they look like your pics, i don`t like them, the surgeon told me to wait until they drop but i m so sad about it. my husband told me that they dropped a bit but i not sure, so you had to do another op?

Big Difference..Good to see...
i agree with you 100%..i needed a breast lift as well but i really didnt want to do it either but my doctor warned me that my breast would look so bad because the implant would be sitting high and the actual breast at the bottom so i went ahead with it..im sure your surgery when the time comes will be perfect this time round witht he breast lift so do it lol...
im glad to hear that...hope all goes well...yes my are slowing droping and settling...wish i could you a pic...
How are you? how are they looking? i hope they have improved....mine are slowing getting there ....
Always a great way to go. I have not have to wear sports bra's that mash or even massage mine, check out my profile and updates to see the difference phases I have gone through and maybe it will help. Good luck and best wishes.
