Hello everyone! Im new to this site and would like to share my BA experience. I had surgery on April 22, 2013. I am now 12 days post op( not counting day of surgery) I had saline moderate profile, under muscle,.crease inscision 390cc (L) 360cc (R). I am 5'5 and 150lbs. From day one, I was not happy with my surgery, I felt my breast stilI looked small! I knew it was too soon to come to any conclusions but as days passed by my breast didnt look much different. The day I went to remove my stitches I told my PS about my concern and ofcourse he said to give it about a month. That once I start massaging them everything will soon start to look different (nothing yet) I mean they definitely look a little more fuller than what I had (deflated B) but not as big as when I went in for sizing! I feel so dissapointed :( and feel it was a waste of money. Do I need to give it more time? I feel that there is no way they will get any bigger. I felt that I should have done more researsh on sizing, I just had no idea what to search for..in a way I felt that I didnt get much information from my PS. Maybe If I lose a few pounds will it make a difference? Has anyone gone through the same experience? Or has similar Stats?

Thank you for your comment, Formeonly830! I had no idea that my size can go as big as a small D :) I just posted some pics, please take a look and let me know what you think.. I know I have to be patient and I will give it a couple more weeks to see a realistic difference.

Thank you for sharing your experience on RealSelf! I can see from many of your side view photos that you still have some dropping to take place. Personally, I think you look great! I also think if you were larger, it would make you look heavier than you really are. Your "before" photos really show the difference. Keep us posted on the dropping...will pray for some fluffing for you too! Congratulations!

Thank you Beth, for your honest opinion. Looking back at my pictures, there is definitely alot of dropping thats needed and yes, I agree bigger implants would have made me look heavier. Thank you again for your good wishes! P.S Btw, how can I post pics along with a question for the Doctors to Answer?

Posting photos to questions to the Doctor Q&A should be the same process as posting photos to your Review which you have successfully done. PM me if you're still having trouble!

I think its the front view that makes it look like they are small but the side view you can def see the difference. They look very natural.

I'm pretty excited now!! I'm getting 475cc's but have let the PS know he has my full consent to adjust as needed. I believe the ladies that have taken the doctors advise are very happy. I think sizing is just a chance we take.

You shouldn't give a Low review to the MD because you didn't choose the right size. Not fair for Dr Bruno. Did he botch you? Was the staff not helpful?
