I am 26 and a mother of three kids ages 7, 6 and 2. I weigh between 105-110 and I'm 5,2. Growing up I weighed 120-125 and had DD non perky breasts and large nipples. With pregnancy i was in a DDD however i never breast fed. I dreamed of small perky ones that for my body. I always thought I'd get an implant especially after my first consult a few years ago with a different doctor. I then realized I would be a full C or D cup since before my lift I was filling a C easy except for a gap in the top. I don't really care if I have upper pole fullness as long as my nipples didn't look at the floor and extra skin was gone. I also just feel funny about putting an object in my body. So I had only a lift I 7/16 a lollipop with only a inch cut underneath. Immediately I was upset afterwards because the looked shaped different. Since then they have evened out a lot which I feel better about but now suddenly that one looks so much bigger. One of them is so perfect I'm in love and the other one seem like it has more tissue and is pushing into my pit area more. Like the pockets bigger and has more . I guess that one was always shaped a little different and a little larger but he never really mentioned anything except it sagged further. He asked if I felt they were the same which I said for the most part yea because all the extra skin I think it was hard to tell especially since I avoided even looking at them. I understand I'm only 3 weeks post but I always need to have a plan B. I am very critical of myself and very anxious/ anxiety driven. I have been very upset about this and obsessive :( I'm also getting married in 9 weeks and going to Jamaica and just wanted to feel Super comfortable with myself. :( So my question is what do I do? I know I need to wait 3-6 months for more final results and to correct anything. I wouldn't want to rush into anything. What would I expect his answer to be? Like is this my fault or his fault? Price wise like what should I expect? A discount with hospital fees or Regular price? Free win hospital fees? I will need to save so I need a Idea number. I paid $5800 for the surgery before is it was $980 hospital $1144 for sleepy juice :) $3670 doctor. Also he is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon so I know he could fix this himself not someone else. He is a highly recommended doctor in the area and does more reconstructive then plastic

I think.your breast look great, I had a lift and in the beginning they looked deformed. It's does take at least 4 months to see end results.

I think they look great too. I was a little worried when I seen your 3rd picture but they healed wonderful. I had left breast done first as a lump had to be removed (not cancer thank god) was told I had to wait a month for the right side as the left needed to shape and heal a bit ... so 2nd surgery is on 9/12. I hate the lopsided feeling I currently have .... enjoy your honeymooon and stop being so critical, you look great.

I think they look great! Go get married and enjoy your honeymoon (we went to Jamaica too:). Know that you look amazing! My boobs look a lot like yours before and I will be super happy after my lift if I look like your afters. No worries! You look great!

Trying to be realistic
Hillberry7August 11, 2013
So I'm trying to feel better today and appreciate everyone's comments. One is bigger then the other but I'm trying to be realistic that my natural shape is not even. One breast was bigger and wider and kind of slooped further to the side. He can only work with what he has! Before I had my lift i looked at everyone's pictures on yahoo and google and was like omgggg so perfect! Then now I go back and realize everyone has a breast that is bigger or a different shape a little! Mine really are close but not exact. I will address my concerns on Thursday and just be realistic about it only being a month the 16th and that I know some of the thins I'm a little upset about ( like nipple position) are natural to my body shape. I didn't get implants because I wanted to be true to who I was sometimes I have to pull back to my original goals. I would have killed for these breasts a few months ago! Another thing I keep telling myself to is that if I havea revision to fix size or shape it might still not be even or perfect! I could come out with even more uneven nipple sizes, position and size! Us woman need to not be so critical of myself. I actually was pretty happy and optimistic until I read about other ladies being critical of themselves! :) so today... I'm optimistic and know I look better then before and worse case I'm sure my doctor would do a small revision at an reasonable rate.

It's a roller coaster ride..One day i feel okay with things, the next day sad about how certain things ended up. Then I come on here and write my update and realize geeze, all im doing is complaining i should be more optimistic..Add in the cost of all of this and of course we want things to be perfect! But you're right, we have to remind ourselves of what the original goal was, and be happy with the improvements!
Thank you for sharing your story on RealSelf. Sounds like you need to share your concerns with your PS. You may also want to consult with another PS just to hear their opinion. The most important thing you mention, is that you're only 3 weeks post op and it really does take more time for your final results to show. Maybe you won't need a revision. Your 3 week post op photo shows a ton of improvement from your first post op photo. I think you're looking good! Hoping you can enjoy your wedding and perhaps deal with the breasts upon your return. Keep us posted...and congrads on the upcoming wedding!
