Breast augmentation, 2 weeks post-op

I’ve found this site really informative and wish I had discovered it before my procedure.

So I got my boobs done little over 2 weeks ago.
I’m 26, measuring 176cm & 60kg, and I’ve always had a small chest, but it only started bothering me in the past year or so, when I got a new job and had to adjust my wardrobe to it.
In contrast to my naturally small boobs, I have fuller thighs, butt, and hips, so my body started to look unbalanced to me in the close-fitting dresses and sets I began to wear.

I went to see several highly reviewed plastic surgeons and ended up settling on Dr Saad, who’s made the best impression on me. He is incredibly professional and readily answered all my questions.
Since I was looking for a subtle, ultra-natural enhancement, I initially wanted to go the fat transfer route, but he talked me out of it. I didn’t want visible scars and haven’t really seen any truly natural-looking implants before, so I was hesitant at first.
I showed him 2 references pictures I liked, from Kendall Jenner’s mini boob job. He assured me we could achieve something like this, with only barely visible scars, and I decided to proceed.

When we were discussing the size and shape, he explained to me that due to my being quite tall and relatively wide-chested, a really small implant (200-250cc) wouldn’t compliment my frame. He thought based on my proportions and wishes, 300cc would be an ideal size. I was really concerned about going too big, and even after trying on some implants (300 and 350cc), I told him they all felt too big for what I wanted. He assured me they’d look smaller under all the tissue, and we ended up with 290cc.

Looking back, I wish I had been more adamant about my preferences. I think I relied on his expertise too much and as a result my new boobs resemble his ideal a lot more than my own. They look and feel enormous to me right now.
I know the implants are still settling in and they’ll continue to change, but for me to be happy with them, my boobs would need to appear around 40-50% smaller than they do currently. I wanted more fullness to my existing breasts, not a whole new set of boobs.

I’m really torn about the whole thing right now.
This was a huge investment for me and I’m worried I’ll have to get these taken out and potentially replaced with a new, smaller set of implants, or find a surgeon who does fat transplants.
I’ve been finding it difficult to focus on anything, I keep questioning myself over my boobs. Why I wasn’t more pushy about going small, why I didn’t stick to my initial fat transfer idea, why I let myself rely so much on my doctor.

Has this ever happened to anybody else? That your implants looked too big in the beginning?

My next check up is scheduled to late April, I’ll post an update around that time. By then, I should be able to tell whether I’ll need to do something about my boobs…

Hi,

Here’s a 10 week update!
(Please ignore my atrocious tan lines)
My new breasts have been growing on me, not gonna lie. I’ve made my peace with the fact that they’re bigger than what I was going for, mostly because I have to admit - the bigger size doesn’t look disproportionate on my body. And my main aim was to balance out my upper- and lower body better.
I’d still prefer them smaller, but I’ve come a long way since my freak out at 2 weeks.

The upper pole fullness (which really bothered me in the beginning) has subsided somewhat, and I’m hoping it will continue to do so. The outlines of the implants are only minimally visible in a resting position, but when I stretch my arms out and the skin tightens, you can see them better for now.
With all the swelling gone, they’ve started to feel and act more like real breasts do. They have a little jiggle to them now and flatten somewhat when I’m lying down. In underwear and clothes, they look really good, I’m happy with the improved silhouette they give me.

Last week I went back to the gym after an 8 week pause (I do crossfit). In terms of the sensation, I can’t tell at all they’re there, it doesn’t feel any different when I flex my muscles or jump around. I guess this is because the implants are on the smaller side and they’re in the fascia. Although my surgeon said I can do anything I’d like at this point, I’m still cautious at the gym for now, lifting smaller weights and not exerting myself to the max.

I’m wearing the silicone tapes pretty much 24/7. A couple of weeks ago I noticed the skin around the scars being a bit dry and flaky, so since then when I do change the tapes I always apply a little hydrating lotion before putting on the new strips. The scars remain clearly visible but they’re healing well according to Dr Saad.

I’ve gone bra shopping a month ago (Intimissimi) and I went from a small B to a proper C cup.

Overall, I’d say I’m happy with how they’ve been evolving so far. I can’t wait to see them drop and flatten a bit more over the following months.
