Woke up from surgery with DD cups - not what I wanted or asked for

Not What I Wanted or Asked For.

I have been a medium B cup on my left breast and a full A cup on my right. Over the years I’ve had extreme weight gain with my 3 pregnancies and although I last the weight, the skin had stretched out. I’ve never disliked them, not at all, they were not a round shapely breast. I loved the ability to wear small tops and looked thin on my upper torso.
Let’s me start by stating that I did not go in for a breast augmentation but was told a day before my extended tummy tuck with muscle repair and lipo, that the aesthetics of my breasts would affect the overall look of my tummy tuck. He suggested DD cups which I literally made a crossed arm gesture of no and said absolutely not. That is giant on my frame and I have a pigeon chest. I was clear that I didn’t want anything bigger than a full even B cup boardering on a C cup. He insisted that my husband would love it. I answered that I wasn’t doing this for him. This was for me! Again I insisted that I didn’t want any bigger that a full even B cup boarder on C cup that looked natural.
During my consultation on 2/15 and even as I was being marked up for my multiple surgeries on 2/16, I was clear, vocalized repeated to the car manager, Dr Pineda, assisting surgeon Dr. O, that I wanted even and natural full B cups. Surgeon Dr Pineda insisted, at that hour, just before my surgery that I would look better with DD cups. Again, almost pleading and repeating while strapped down for the anesthesia to be administered that I was excited to have even breasts “no bigger that a full natural looking B bordering on a C cup max”. Everyone including the nurse “China” calmed my nerves and said that they knew what I wanted.
I woke up from surgery with DD cups (450 cc on my right and 400 on my left). I couldn’t believe it.
I’ve had extensive visits since 2/16 the day of my first surgery due to a complication with my tummy tuck for which they cared for me almost every weekday. However, each time I bring it up, how big they are and how I didn’t want this, I am told, “your husband loves it” “your friends will be so jealous” “they will go down”. That the breast tissue is swollen. They will go down “to like a full C cup”.
The scars are healing beautifully. The breasts themselves are well done. If this was something I had wanted, I would be over the moon. But I didn’t want this and I’m so upset, struggling with body issues, not feeling like myself, not wanting to look in the mirror and unable to be myself with my style & preferences of clothes. Pissed off that someone I trusted did not respect my wishes, my instructions and transformed my body into something I did not ever want. It’s imposed on me and there is nothing I can do about it but wait months for it to fully heal to then look into a revision.
I want to share my experience, my current results and will update in 4 months with the estimated final results.
