GOING IN FOR A REVISION

WORTH IT$8,450
I am going to be going through another metamorphosis in January. I am getting my breast implants removed and replaced. I initially went in for a consult to just get the girls upgraded because, dammit. I want it. But it was there that I discovered that my 1st doctor made a minor error which turned something I wanted to do, into something I needed to do. I will be undergoing a complete revision of my original 2014 breast augmentation and upgrading these girls to where mother nature should have when puberty hit at 13. This does not come without risks. This will be my 14th surgery since 2005 and to say I am worried is an understatement. but, if I do not get this done, my original work will create a uniboob that will cost even more to fix. I am very excited but nervous, and will be looking to you all for support!

I have a 7 weeks BA now, and I read through your old posts and that was exactly what I've been facing now. I've been freaking out about my size as it's too small and didn't come out as my wish size. May I ask if the size will get bigger a little after this or it will get smaller? ;( . By the way I wish you the best for your next revision! I'm sure it will turn out great :)

hi and thank you for commenting! Mine didn't get smaller, they just dropped a bit. I gained weight and my boobs have never been able to keep up so they look small again. I've hit an age where it is hard to drop back down to where I was at my first surgery, ( I have an extra 30 lbs on me now...) I want to be a size that will look great whether I am 130 lbs, or 160.. my dr. this time is a highly regarded and sought after surgeon and I am grateful I found him. It is going to be expensive, but its now become necessary as the issues will cost even more later if I don't get it fixed. I hope you heal well and that you love yours as the regret goes away. It did for me until I gained the weight lol

I had my 6 week post op appointment today and my doc says I am healing very nicely! He also said my scars look good and will eventually be basically invisible :) He took some photos today so I got to see a side by side and all I gotta say is WOW! Whenever I start feeling down about not going bigger I will just look back at this picture and I will feel better seeing as the difference is pretty big!

HUGE difference! High 5 ! I love / hate looking at my befores. . But they convince me every time, I did the right thing!
User Avatar

Yea, I hate seeing my befores... I avoided looking at my chest for so long seeing as it just disgusted me when I did so having them on display is a bit weird for me and a bit embarrassing... but I really love them now!

I think they look great on you but I feel the exact same way you did. I'm 12 days post op. I did 325cc's and am sitting at a 34C. I wish I would've gone bigger too. At least 375. Maybe once they settle more and soften I'll be happier!!

Thank you :) once mine were no longer hard as rocks, they were much more natural looking. I asked again today why we didn't go bigger and he told me it was to keep a small gap for cleavage. I didn't want them totally touching so any bigger and they would be doing just that. I think that little gap keeps then looking natural which I wanted!

That is a big difference! Your boobs fit you beautifully. Did he give you the ok to get out of that lovely surgical bra or do you still have to wear it for a few weeks?
User Avatar
July 24, 2014
It is a pretty big difference lol and I still have to wear it for another 6 weeks. He says it's to help define the crease, so I will just keep wearing the incredibly sexy thing that is this bra! :)

I think you look so good, very natural, you cannot tell they are implants. They are on the small size but that is what you asked for anyway. I did the same and I got 175 cc above the muscle. Are yours unders? I think I should have gone with the moderate ones because I do not like the big gap in between them. Yours do not have a big gap. I did not know that they would look like that before surgery so i did not discuss it with the doctor. Mine move a lot to the side when I open my arms, do yours do that. I should have got either more ccs or a moderate profile. Then again I have see pictures of a lot more ccs doing the same thing. I do not know why this is happening, except if your gap was big before. Mine was not though. You look very good, enjoy them. I never regretted getting them, I feel so confident as I did when I had them naturally.

Hi and thank you for your comment :) yes, mine are unders and they do move out to the side when I open my arms but it doesn't look weird at all. I couldn't really tell if I had a gap before since I was so small to start. I do know that when I breast fed my son they looked very similar to how they are now. I still may go up in size later on down the road, I'm not sure. I only got moderate profile as well, though I wish I had told my doc that I really wanted a better projection and went with moderate plus. But then he said later that plus would have looked a bit on the fake side which I didn't want. I don't know. I'm just picky and have a bit of boob greed having gone so long without any lol.

Wow your boobs look awesome!! I'm waiting for mine to drop completely and hopefully get a little closer Lol. Your breasts go great with your body :-)

Thank you! I do wish mine were a bit closer as well, 245ccs would have done that or 250 but then they would have been touching completely which I'm not sure I wanted. Oh well! Too late now lol I still have my moments of regret where I wish I had pushed my goals a little harder and gone bigger. But overall I am happy :)

6 weeks post op today :)

User Avatar

6 weeks! Wow has time flown by! ok, so I am feeling better regarding my size now seeing as I know I really don't and wont have the resources to do it again and go bigger. Maybe someday, but for now, I can live with a 2 cup increase in size :) I still have some tenderness on the outside near my armpits, but not too bad, the scars have smoothed out and are just red now and after seeing my many other scars heal up, I know that in about a year they will be nearly invisible. I have my 6 week post op appointment on Wednesday, so I am anxious to hear what he has to say about my progress. Hopefully he will let me out of this silly surgical bra finally! I doubt it, he was pretty insistent on the 3 months. I would really like to just wear an unpadded demi bra, I have one I bought from VS that is really comfortable that I will wear once in a while for a couple hours just to put something less constricting on, but... I doubt he will give me the ok lol. Oh well. If it keeps everything in place and lets me heal without complications then I guess I will live for another 6 weeks. I posted some pics that show how I am sitting now, the one pic in the tank is in the unpadded demi bra. I am still small, but not nearly as small as I was and now I feel like I am much more proportionate than I was! Talk to you all later!!
