Please read before you have your boobs done. So I am 27 years old with no children. I have wanted a boob job all my life. I was a 34 A-b in Victoria secret bras. I’m four days post op and will be getting new bras once my stitches are removed next week. My desired size was to be a natural looking full C cup. I went to two Doctors on Long Island. Dr Greenberg and and Dr. Deane. I ended up planning my surgery with Dr. Deane who was kind, soft spoken, but confident, and took ample time with me to explain the procedure. My friend had her boobs done with Dr. Deane and they looked so natural I always thought they were real and her scar was barely noticeable. He spoke my language when he said they are going to look so natural it’ll be your little secret. During the first consultation we did a 3D model of how different sizes would look like, I liked how 350cc looked on me. I wanted to look natural but still of course show a difference. I didn’t want to tell anyone I was having a boob job except a handful of close relatives and friends. I was sent to get a chest x-ray, breast sonogram as well as have blood work done and my medical clearance before the surgery. If you are planning on getting a boob job prepare yourself to have a lot of people see your boobs. At my second consultation I went over a couple things concerning the procedure but I didn’t go over sizes because Dr. Deane said he would make me as big a he could. I was given a gift bag with a ice pack, pill case, a pouch to put things in it. I went downstairs to the med spa to pick up vitamins I started taking the vitamins two weeks before the surgery. I also got a gift card for a facial. In order to prepare for the surgery I bought a body pillow and a extra fluffy pillow. I picked up my pain meds and antibiotics and placed them in the fridge. I also bought a tube top and a couple of lose t-shirts. All my doctors appointments went smooth except for my appointment with my gynecologist who ended up scolding me for deciding to get a boob job. I tried to get a script from my gynecologist for a chest x-Ray but she didn’t want to give it to me. So I ended up using the one Dr. Deane had provided me with. I was also asked to fill out a questionnaire through the anesthesia department. A couple of days before the surgery I freak out and ask to see Dr. Deane but he was not able to see me. So I get a phone call from him and calm down after asking him questions about the procedure and recovery period. Throughout the week I get phone calls from my anesthesiologist and nurses asking me if I have any questions. I am very anxious before the surgery. The night before the surgery I barely sleep. My sister drives me to the office we get there at 8am to prep for my 9am surgery, she was not allowed into the room with me for some reason which really makes me nervous. In all the YouTube videos I watched someone is always in the room with the person having surgery. Once my sister leaves and I am getting prepped another nurse says she can come back which I didn’t understand but kept in a positive mood because my life is in these peoples hands. I put on the surgical gown, socks with gripping on the bottom and a surgical black panty I finish it with the blue cap on my head. My sister had left and was unable to come right back until after my surgery which I had told her to please bring me a shake shack burger. The night before surgery I stopped eating by 6pm and I stopped drinking water and club soda by 12am. I’m so nervous to not have my sister with me who will be taking care of me after my surgery. As I’m sitting in my recovery room different nurses and my anesthesiologist come in to introduce themselves. I am given a warm blanket while sitting in a comfy chair. Then finally Dr Deane comes in. I’m relieved to see him. A nurse asks me how many CC I’m getting which throws me off because I never discussed this with Dr. Deane so I just tell her I want to be a C cup. I get the IV put onto my arm which hurt. It’s time for my surgery I walk to the surgical room and I’m so nervous I could faint I hurry up and get myself under the warm blanket. Dr. Deane tells me he’s in the room. A moment later my anesthesiologist gives me the anesthesia and the world fades before I know it. I wake up in the recovery room and I immediately ask how many CC’s did I get the nurse tells me 250cc’s. I responded to her “That’s it!” I ask for the nurse to please call my sister. I ask her what time it is, she says 1:30pm. The nurse gave me some saltine crackers and water. She then helped me get dressed.I just wanted to be home already. I’m nervous to look at my chest because I know on the 3D model of myself in the implants anything below 300cc looked little and like not much of a difference. My sister came in bearing a shake shack bag. I was wheeled out to her car. I live five minutes from Dr. Deane office and thank god for that because I could feel the centrifugal forces and every bump in the road. My sister drove as slow as possible. I went straight to my comfy round chair that I had fluffed up with pillows. I elevated my feet on some pillows above my bed. I also put a travel pillow around my neck since I was going nap sleeping upright. My sister put on some relaxing music and I dosed off for a little. When I woke up I took my Narcos and my sister warmed up my burger which I enjoyed. I was in slight discomfort but nothing unbearable. Changing positions hurt so I only made slight movements. A couple of hours later my dad arrived to feed me soup. I slept in my comfy round chair the first night. I cried a lot because I did not have the size boobs I wanted. They were way smaller than I had hoped they would be. Day 1 post op I went to get my steri strips replaced and see Dr. Deane. I was still sensitive to taking turns and bumps in the road. I felt pressure but not the run over by a car feeling a lot of women describe after BA. I asked Dr. Deane why I only got 250cc’s. He said he had pushed me to my limit even with 250cc. I just don’t understand how other girls get way more cc than me starting out with A cups like me. I feel it depends on the pocket the surgeon makes. I’m upset that I didn’t get the c cup boobies of my dreams. Each year I fulfill a dream of mine last year I gave myself a three week trip in Europe which was a dream come true and was completely perfect. This year I decided to finally go through with my dream of having boobs only to fall short. I understand my boobs still have to drop and fluff. But it’s traumatic to realize I went through a surgery, pain, took time off from work to not get the look I so much desired and paid so much for. I thank God that my surgery went well and that the scar is so small. I am just crying so much because they are not the size I wanted. I thought I was clear about the size I wanted natural C cup at minimum 300cc to give me some va va boom in the front. I started researching having breast augmentation redone and that is how I found this app Real Self. I wish I had known about it before my surgery. Advice to lady’s getting a boob job bring pictures of what your desired look is. Try on sizers. Ask your surgeon what brand implants he uses. Look through your surgeons look book for girls that are similar to you and point out ones you like. Talk about how many cc’s you want and what would be the minimum and most. Research the different implants brands. Go to a couple consultations and don’t book until you’re ready. These are things I didn’t do. Sonograms and X-ray are good for a year. So maybe you can get that process started while going to consultations. I did want to mention I only took Narcos for the first three days. By day three I was sleeping in my bed again. I’m going to work with what I was given. I took only 5 days off. I will be back to work tomorrow. I will give more updates soon.

Wow, I am so sorry to hear what you are going through, very frustrating :( if you dont mind me asking, what is your height? And band width? I am having surgery on Tuesday and am going with the 250cc as well.
November 11, 2018
I’m 5’5 ,150lbs, and before surgery a 34B. I don’t know your dimensions but maybe going with 300cc.

Wow I am sorry this happened! In in LI too but going to a surgeon in upstate. He said my max is 300 to 325 so I worry too.

Good luck with your surgery. That’s a good size if you already have boobs to fill them in. If you like your doctors before and after pictures I’m sure yours will look great. You’re lucky you know what size your surgeon is going with. Lesson learned for me. Can’t wait to see the results.

Im 5’2 110 lbs & i had 345cc done in dec 2018 ít all depends on your BWD & the elasticity of your skin. If the implant exceeds your measurements the risks of complications are by far much higher. I live in Los Ángeles & vast majority of surgeons (if not all) here state the same. I’m sorry you’re unhappy with your results, especially after all the money & pain you had your body go through. Sending you positive vibes
February 13, 2019
I wish he had at least given me 345cc. Yours look amazing I know a good boob job when I see it. I will be moving to LA soon and will look into your doctor. My surgeon honestly could have given me 350cc but he makes extra money by doing two surgery’s within six months. I’m 5’5 and 150lbs so my 250cc did nothing to compliment my body. I’ve read multiple reviews from my doctor with women having to pay about $1,700 more for a second surgery because my doctor did not give them the size they wanted. I also have deep red scars which I’ll wait to work on after my revision. I can feel my right implant pressing on my chest. I can’t wait to have my revision.

There is a blessing and a curse to being given only what your body can handle. You are screaming inside because you are viewing what other girls have. When you get down try looking at all of the things that go WRONG with surgery when you go to large and it definitely puts things into perspective for us. Bottoming out, revision surgeries and more unexpected costs, SAGGING, infection etc. At least your skin can stretch and you can save money while you wait and decide if you want a revision later. Enjoy your health in the meantime and be very thankful that there is an option to even have the elected surgery and enjoy for many years. Your looking great for your body size and yes they do look natural! We forget what “natural” really looks like sometimes ..

I’m sorry to hear you are unhappy about your experience and result. You are doing the right thing about sharing your story for others to be educated in the ins and outs of plastic surgery. I think it is becoming common in many areas for people to be given a “max” size and usually less than 300 starting out due to complications and liability for the surgeon. Many are requiring waivers if you go past that amount stating they will not be held liable for issues. Give it a little more time before making another very important decision with your body and again thank you for sharing for other people thinking about going through the same procedure. It always helps me when I am down to be grateful for my good health, maybe this will help you also to get your mind off of the disappointing situation. Good luck!

Feeling better

Daydreamer90
Ok so I just want to say meds can really mess with your moods. I did not cry at all today because as I mentioned in my first post I thought my boobs were to small. I am getting adjusted to my new boobies and love them. They look natural and with the right bra they can instantly be bombshells. I chose Dr. Deane because he is the best of the best. I felt I could trust him and that I was in good hands. I am a control freak so letting a surgeon pick what size they think is best for you can be scary. As a patient you have to decide what kind of Doctor you want the one that gives you his honest opinion after years of experience or the Dr that let’s you take things into your own hands. I did have a vision I wanted natural looking enhanced boobs and that is exactly what he gave me. I would definitely say if you want a naturally enhanced look come see Dr. Deane. Every surgeon has a signature look, his is a naturally enhanced look with a touch of perfection. If you want huge boobies implanted you should look for a different surgeon. After work I went to pink to get soft zip up bras. I love how my boobies look in them. Psychologically changing any part of your body can mess with your feelings. I was saying I wanted a natural look but I also love big round boobies like Chantel Jeffries. I really did have a great experience with Dr. Deane and his office. Today my boobies are feeling softer. I am a stomach sleeper so not being able to lay on my stomach is hard. The amazing body pillow I bought is helping me sleep on my back. I didn’t lay on my boobs but I did try to flip on my tummy and I don’t think my boobies are ready for that. I feel that Dr. Deane gave me the perfect amount of boobies. I am a bit conservative and feel that my new boobies are timeless. At the same time I am a millennial who loves Kim K and Emily Rata for their looks and boobies. I get my stitches out later on this week and will give an update after that.

I gotta tell ya...I think they look good! They look very natural. Can totally see the differnce
February 5, 2019
Too bad I’m having a huge complication with the right breast implant. In pain. They look ok but are not what I asked for and this Doctors remarks are the reason I will not go back to him for a revision. Thank you though. In person they are way smaller.
February 6, 2019
Oh no! I’m scheduling my implants for March/April. I’m about the same size as you and 250ccs looked small on me too. I thought the pic in your bikini was a before pic. Hope things work out for you!
February 6, 2019
Can’t wait to see your results. I wanted 350cc minimum for my breasts. I feel the 250-300 is a good look for someone who already has cleavage it will fill them out nicely. Thank you I’m in the process of figuring out what’s wrong with the right side.

Healing nicely

Daydreamer90
My stitches were removed on the 19th of July. My scars are healing nicely. I already started applying bio oil. I addressed my concerns to my surgeon. If I want to I have the option to have a revision surgery in a couple of months. Which I will op to not have at this time. I’m the girl who had to wear a push-up bra stuffed with a bra cutlets to give the illusion of breasts with cleavage in a dress. I still have the same flat look in the front. I was hoping my surgeon would make a breast pocket that formed more cleavage. I’m a stomach sleeper and it’s been hard to not sleep on my stomach. I’ve been trying to gently sleep on my side which feels weird because I have stitches inside my breasts holing them in place. My breasts are still very stiff to try on bras. I’m sure once they completely soften up and are able to move around I’ll be able to tuck them into a nice push up bra. I feel bad voicing my concerns to my sweet surgeon but I’m not 100% happy with how they look. From a frontal view they are separated and don’t have volume on the top of the breast. I feel like I did a mistake having this BA surgery. I had cute perky boobs that were bound to stay that way for life. I wanted to feel more womanly. I now come how from work and the first thing I do is take of my clothes and front zip up bra so that my breast can breathe which is new for me. I can’t wait for the drop and fluff stage.

try not to make judgement yet, they will change so much in the months to come. fingers crossed they will be the boobs of your dreams x
August 8, 2018
@booblessbecky thank you! So my boobs have softened up and I’m able to make them look good in bras but they are not the size I wanted and I really don’t think that will change.
