My 32 C/D cup breasts began to lose its tissue and fullness that it once had after breastfeeding both children. My breasts wouldn't even fill in a 32 B cup-sized bra. After months of sleepless nights doing research and watching YouTube videos on breast augmentations, I went through with my breast augmentation to achieve my goal of regaining the same size and full-shaped breasts I once had. I originally wanted somewhere around 285 cc's and 300cc's to give me a borderline natural but noticeable look. However, my surgeon decided on (Allergan/Natrelle Silicone-filled breast implants) 240cc's for the left breast and 270cc's for the right breast which were placed under the muscle. I couldn't be more happier with the results! Updated on 14 Dec 2016: So I just found out that not only did the surgeon put in a smaller size than we talked about, but he also put a moderate profile instead of the high profile that we had agreed upon 6 months before the surgery and just before entering the operating room. I only found out about it not being the correct profile because I looked up the Allergan natrelle Style 10 which shows on my card that I went home with after surgery and it says moderate profile, not high. I'm a little bummed out by this because I was expecting my breasts to project more after the sag from breastfeeding, and now I find out that this won't be happening, and I can't really afford to do another surgery to correct this. I guess the most I could do is express my concerns at my 4 week follow-up appointment today. Updated on 15 Dec 2016: I went to my 4 week follow-up visit with my surgeon where I was finally able to express my concerns on the size, profile, and sag of my breast implants. He apologized to me and said he thought the smaller and moderate- sized implants he chose would be best for me especially for being a mother of two to whom I breastfed for 19 months each. He says he didn't realize that just the implant alone would not fix the problem, which now I'm pretty upset because I knew my breasts were droopy and lacked breast tissue before surgery, which is why I went in for my consultation with him last Summer, where I spoke of my interests in a lift but he said I didn't need it and that the implants would "fix" my problem. Now here I am with breast implants that i dished out all of my savings for, and I still have saggy boobs. I'm starting to question whether wasting all that money to do this procedure was even worth it. Of course, my surgeon decides to tell me now that I also need a mastopexy, which he only performs on women ages 40+ and has never done on someone as young as I am. I never realized just how much stretched out skin I had on my breasts before surgery and I have never felt so humiliated, discouraged, and disappointed. Updated on 15 Dec 2016: These are pictures of the day I went into surgery (right before) and about 4 weeks post-op. It bothers me how my nipples are still really low. My surgeon said the implants alone would fix this.. So of course, I trusted his word over my own because I, for one, am no surgeon, but everyone makes their mistakes I guess. Updated on 1 Jan 2017: I decided to make another update with a little more positivity to it. So I'd like to go over the healing of my scars- and so far, they are doing fantastic! Updated on 1 Jan 2017: I can't believe it has already been six weeks since I've had my BA surgery. I have had no pain at all, I've had excellent scar healing (my ps did an excellent job with the incisions) and they feel as if they have always been a part of my body. Yes, the sagging is still very much there and it bothers me... a lot, but I can't really do anything about it because I cannot afford a revision anytime soon. Although the sag and the unevenness of my breast make me a little sad to look in the mirror when my chest is bare, I'm very satisfied with my look in clothing or when I have a bra/bikini top on. Updated on 3 Jan 2017: In my last update, I forgot to post pictures of how they look under clothing. My bra size really depends on the brand, obviously. I'm about a 34B/C in most bras. However, in Victoria Secret their sizes run differently and I tend to fit more comfortably into a 34DD. I just love how full they look in a bra and under clothing and wish they would look like this even without it!
I had my surgery done 10/24/2016, the doctor said am healing well and to keep doing what Ive been doing. Which is taking good care of myself and taking my recovery one day at a time. I'm still healing but so far I like what I see. I'm so proud of myself for taking the time to prepare my body and myself for this surgery.
Dr. Huntsman gave me good looking (another persons opinion) augmented breast... He made a MAJOR mistake. He chose to put implants that I did not want in my body. Dr. Huntsman and I chose and agreed what would be best for me (Natrelle Inspire). Unfortunately for me, he chose to not follow through with our plan. When Dr. Huntsman arrived in the operating room he was presented with MY implants and some other implants that we never discussed. I was already asleep. He chose without discussing with me the WRONG implants. As a result, he did not listen to me and assumed without any facts that the other implants were what I wanted. Allow me to reiterate, Dr. Huntsman did not listen to me and implanted a different manufacture, different profile, different response and a different feeling in MY body!!! What is so strange he does not even use the manufacture of the implant (Mentor) he chose to put in me. I personally don't believe he paid attention to what he was doing to me. Or maybe, he chose to save money and use implants that were lying around? He did not even think it was important enough to talk to me after the operation about what he had done. At two follow up visits he told me he made a mistake and would redo his work. YET, he has refused to do what is necessary to schedule the operation... In addition to his mistake with the implant he chose to put my scars under my nipples but way above my fold. They are front and center for all to see, forever! I am so disgusted I cannot even look at something I waited 50 years to have! I should be so happy yet I am not...
