15 Days Post Op - Still disappointed with size

WORTH IT$5,100
Yesterday was a bad day, the pain in my left boob was so bad I was in tears most of the afternoon and over it! The pain meds I was prescribed didn't really lessen it any either. But today I feel great. I work tomorrow, so fingers crossed tomorrow is a good day too!
I am still super disappointed with my size. I know everyone on here is saying that it seems to be normal, and the surgeon probably gave me the most he could, but if that is the case then how do some women have 450 - 650 cc implants? I am almost 6 foot and I think broad, so I think the implants I got aren't big enough for my frame. Luckily my partner likes them, otherwise I would be completely devastated. I don't believe he would tell me if he didn't like them though.
I've had a friend say that they aren't as big as she thought I would go, yesterday we had a family party, my aunty commented 'they didn't give you much did they', and my sisters partner said 'they are disappointing.' (God I hope none of them see this review!)
In clothes, they feel the same as if I were wearing one of my padded bras.
I was hoping once they settle, drop (as much as they will) and fluff they'll look a bit bigger, but in actual fact they really tend to look smaller because all swelling is gone. (Depending on which PS's you want to listen to and believe.)

Speaking of Plastic Surgeon's, it drives me crazy how they all have differing opinions on everything! I have read a lot of peoples questions and surgeons comments on things like massaging, and sleeping on your side, and support bras, normal pain etc and I can't find a conclusive answer to any of my questions ! lol

Here's hoping when I post next, I'm feeling a bit better :)

I think a lot of it is down to your natural breast size. My PS said my breast was only 11.5cm wide. That really limits what you can have in tens of volume.
November 9, 2014
"Terms". Not "tens". Damn phone. I think you look great but I also think those around you are being very insensitive. Try to focus on something else for a bit and see how you feel in a few weeks. We're changing our bodies that we've lived with our whole lives. It takes a bit of adjusting.
November 9, 2014
Yes I agree! Thank god for my partner, and all you lovely ladies telling me they look good! I think you're right about taking time and letting myself adjust. And I know he suggested the safest size for my breast width (least I think I know) and I don't blame him or think anything less of him as a surgeon for how I'm feeling now. I also think it does have a bit to do with how much existing breast tissue you have, and I had none. So he couldn't exactly work miracles lol. Its just nice to air all my feelings on here, because I can't with anyone else. If I did with my partner he'd be disappointed with the money we've spent =/ and I'm sure they will grow on me! =)
November 9, 2014
Yes this forum is great for that. It's so important to us that we need to talk about it but those around us are trying to support us if they know about it so we can't complain. I had a few days at first when I was worried about the size but that passed. Like you say hubby wouldn't have been keen if I'd been complaining after all we spent. Anyway I think you'll come round. I spent a lot of time before the surgery looking at info and trying to manage my expectations as if seen other women be disappointed. You're just doing that after the op. Enjoy them. You look fab x

Your breast width determines the sizes that are available to fit your frame. If you go to the manufacturer website of whoever you got (mentor, allergan, sientra) you can look at the sizes and types of implants and fit your breast width to determine what were your options. A implant that is too wide or too narrow will look like balls on your boobs. I agree that every PS has different thoughts on post op care and this is all based on their experience and what worked well for their patients. Go with what your PS says.

They look fantastic hun!!! i cant believe people are saying that to you! They look great you wouldnt want any bigger because then they start to look too fake if they dont suit but yours suit really well. Im getting mine done by dr. poonsak in exactly 2 weeks!!! im sooo nervous and excited!!!
December 2, 2014
Hey your results are fantastic, extremely natural looking...they look really nice. Definitely right to consider the amount of existing tissue....the last thing you'd want is the, to look like two balls of implant stuck on.. I think your results are really good
July 9, 2015
Thank you! And I agree. :)

2 days post op - mixed feelings

beckettz
So I got in the taxi and went off to the hospital by myself for my consultation appointment with Dr. Poonsak on Saturday, went through all the registration process, blood tests, ekg, chest xray. Had the consultation where we decided on 350cc right and 375cc left high profile silicone round by edioscope arm pit incision. Started stressing they'd be too small then and I'm not feeling much better now about them. Is this normal? I started to freak out when I was laying on the table, is it worth all this money etc. Dr poonsak held my hand til I fell asleep. I woke up in recovery feeling a bit freaked. No real pain or anything til I tried to stand up and use the toilet a few hours later.
I'm still not sure how I feel about the size.. I really wanted to go big. But he didn't really offer anything bigger, he explained for my breast width that's all he would recommend =( is this what boobie greed is? I'm so worried when the swelling goes Down I'll be even more disappointed. As far as pain is concerned, I'm coping okay, and sleeping okay, have been out shopping for a few hours, ate tea, been to the aquarium, I just haven't been able to wash bottles, open doors, hold my bub etc. The hospital beds are terribly uncomfortable! I have a dead bum still from sleeping sitting up in it haha.

They look great to me. I'm scheduled for next week, and felt happy after seeing your pics as I'm going a very similar size and thought yours looked like what I want. I hope you love them soon.
October 27, 2014
Thanks. My partner and my sister have both said they look good, so maybe it's just all in my head at the moment. Hoping it is anyway lol. Please let me know how you go so I can check out your after pics too =)
October 29, 2014
How do you feel about them now?? I think they look great! Not too big but in proportion with your body!
November 6, 2014
I know I have gone from having nothing, but I still feel as though they aren't any where near big enough, I am hoping they'll look different when they settle. I know to expect them to get smaller when the swelling goes. I'm trying to hide how upset about it I am, because it was a stretch getting the money to do it. Hopefully I just get over it lol
November 8, 2014
From what I've read many women go go through this. I think they look fab and your frame prob can't rake larger implants. I just had 345s which wax the largest my PS would do. They're what I was expecting and I love them. If I'd been able I would prob have gone a bit larger but actually these suit me so it's orob for the best. Try to focus on the difference from where you were to where you are. Your mind will adjust to the new you and learn to love your new look. You do look great!!! I waited till I was 50 to do it. I'm very jealous you've had the courage to do it so much younger. Enjoy them.
November 8, 2014
I'm the opposite, I was planning on going with 365cc and at the last minute went to 435cc. I'm worried that mine are too big and hope they get smaller when they settle. I guess it's just so hard to know how they will turn out. You can always make smaller ones look bigger with push-up bras, but can't make bigger ones look smaller. Let's just hope when we get used to them we grow to love them. It's still early days, so I'm trying not to freak out too much. It just seems silly after paying so much I'm trying to hide them at the minute! Easier done in the winter! I hope you feel better about them soon. X
November 9, 2014
It isn't a nice feeling, I hope it is just a normal part (for some women) of the process of adjusting to the new me! I am quite tall, so I feel I lose a lot of them in my frame. I will try to enjoy them still though! :) I am glad you love yours!
November 9, 2014
I've read a lot that they do get smaller, once all the swelling is gone. I am sure they will grow on us and we will learn to love them lol. That is exactly how I feel too, paid so much, but still want push up bras and covering up like I used to. Thank you, I hope you do too! x
November 9, 2014
Hey how are you feeling now? I tank the boob greed thing is super common but rather than compare yourself to others you re best to compare to the size you were.. Practically speaking your natural breast could probably only take a certain size and therefore your surgeon would have given you the best possible result. Sorry if this sounds patronising..I'm going for my pre op tomorrow where we are confirming size and I'm very much going on the advice mr offer my surgeon gives me. I bet when yours have done the fluffing and dropping thing everyone talks about they will look bigger. I have two friends that have both had the same conversation with me ref their implant size and they look massive to me ha ha... I have a feeling I will have the same feeling post op too though x x x
November 9, 2014
I know I probably should just compare to what I was (which I do try to do), but it is hard. I am happy I have something now, because before I had NONE but I guess I would've liked to have a little bit more to feel comfortable in a little revealing dresses. I am disappointed in myself, because I went with what my surgeon suggested, rather than asking why I couldn't have more. A lot of women on here seem to love theirs straight away, so I hope you do too!! x
