They look like they have dropped well :) do you like the size now or do you still want a revision?
How do you feel now? You still want a revision?
For what it's worth - I think you look great and the size looks good on you but I know it's more important how you feel! do you think you will d&f any more and feel like it looks fuller?
I know you aren't happy with the overall size, but they look really, really good, super natural.

Not happy...thinking about a revision

I'm not happy with my size and I'm thinking about getting it redone. I felt like I rushed into this surgery being an out of town patient, having high faith in his work and he didn't spend much time discussing the sizes with me either. I showed him my wish pic and being in his profession he should be able to tell what cup size they were. The girl in my wish pic was a D-DD cup, he should've explained to me that by going up one cup size I wasn't going to achieve my desired look. We should've discussed that in order for me to achieve the boobs I wanted like in the pictures, I had to go at least 2 cup size larger. So I emailed him and he quoted me $5,000 to go larger, that is more than half of the price to get them done in the first place!

Oh, I'm so sorry!! I think you look gorgeous but what matters, of course, is how you feel. If you had a revision, what size would you ask for? My wish pics are the same as a lot of yours. I'm still deliberating on size. He mentioned going anywhere from 350 cc up to 425cc for me. What are your thoughts on that? I am starting off smaller than you, I think. The size issue is so hard! Hang in there..you might have more room to grow since you're still on the early side of recovery : )
That depends on if you're going under the muscle or over the muscle. Under the muscle you will obviously lose a bit of volume/mass. I would ask to be a 32D so basically I should've gotten 2 cup size bigger instead of 1. He didn't mention a cc range for me to achieve the look in the pictures, he just said 325-350cc would be a good fit for me and that was it. I am in no rush to get a revision, I will wait 6 months to see how they drop & fluff before going under another operation.
Sorry you are feeling that way. Crazy how everyone has such different results. I'm 5'3" 114lb. Started at less than a B. Got HP 350/375cc & have ended up between 32DD-34DD depending on bra style. You do still look tight though. Maybe you'll fill out more as you fluff. I think you look great!
Omg! I think this is Kim probably now! Not ours, I think he need to really start listening, and explaining, I actually feel the same from your comments, but I went over with my size, and it's obviously one bigger than the other for me, he put 50cc more than the other, and he didn't really explain on the size with me why, he just me show some pictures than I show him what I like, than I told him, I'm thinking of 400-450, a full D, not big D, than he just said 400 HP, than I say I want M+ than he just say ok, didn't explain to me why suggest HP. Than after I got my boobs I did more reading on here, some girls were saying their doctor say for example if they do HP they can go bigger and Moderate or M+ they can't go as big because it's wider. I didn't know moderate and Moderate plus mean flat and wide at the same time, I just thought it's just flatter! I mean I don't blame him with my sizing because last minute I did ask to go 500cc, but if I understand more of it, I wouldn't do or ask bigger,plus my implants is obviously bigger than the other that's on him. And the implants is so wide for my body, I don't even know my measurement. I'm getting a redone, Idk when but hopefully soon.
I definitely understand how big of a roller coaster the first 2 months are. how's the healing going? Have the dropped and fluffed any within the last month? :)
Oh I'm sorry you're going through that what size if you end up getting? And how many cc up to you want to go? I'm getting my surgery in two weeks and I'm really scared of the sites as well I don't want to have boob greed. I went to Dr. Kim as well for a consultation but he's very short and I figured if he didn't have the time to listen to me he wasn't going to know what I really wanted so I figured it was better I look for another surgeon, I know he's good but he doesn't communicate enough :/ anyway I hope your revision surgery comes out just like you wanted to be
