Motiva Mini 220cc Breast Implants

I’ve always been flatchested. After breastfeeding, I finally knew what it was like to have boobs! I’ve been on the pursuit to have breasts again! . After breastfeeding I was left with no breast tissue, so I wanted something that looks natural and around a full B or small C cup size. I have a small sporty frame, 165cm and 53kg. I met with two surgeons.
My first surgeon and I decided on 225cc mentor.
My second surgeon was much more through and had motiva brand which I preferred. I tried 185cc, 205cc, 220cc and 245cc. I thought at the time the 245cc looked too large for me and hence decided on the mini 220cc round under the muscle.

I’m feeling pretty disappointed with the size I chose. I’m doubtful I would even be a B cup! I know I will need to give it some time before really assessing it. I honestly thought I would be in love with them the moment I saw them. It’s an improvement to what I had but they are not the size I remember when I was breastfeeding and already I’m contemplating doing the surgery all again to go up in size (except that it costs so much). Maybe that is partly why I feel upset too. It’s a lot of money to spend without getting the desired results.
The surgery went well and the pain levels are very manageable and I’m only taking the odd paracetamol. I’m feeling a bit stiff and sore which I what I expected.
I guess I’ll give it some time.

Day 5:
I’ll start by saying the recovery has been better than I anticipated. Remarkably I don’t have any pain across my chest or the incision sites, which meant I only took mild pain relief medication on day 1 and day 2.
I do have pain/ache in around my upper back because I must be slouching my shoulders. Sleeping on my back is uncomfortable and I’m often having rearrange the pillows to find comfort. I notice I get fatigued and I have had low energy levels during the day and simply can’t do as much as I’m used to around the house or with the kids. Certain movements are difficult in the first few days for example; to close a car door, open a tight jar lid, tie up my hair, holding a saucepan of water.

I have numbness in my left breast from 4o’clock around to 8o’clock and my L nipple is super sensitive. There is a strange sensation in my right breast where air bubbles make a crackling feeling under my skin whenever I bend over and straighten up again, from what I have read the body will absorb these air bubbles in time.

In my last post I was feeling a bit of post GA blues and really low about my decision in the size. I’m not feeling as hard on myself since they have dropped slightly. If I had my time again I would have chosen an implant with increased fullness. Whether that would have been increased in volume or projection I’m
not sure. The sizing is so confusing at the time and I’m surprised how different it looks under the muscle compared to trying one in a sports bra at the fitting appointment.

I think my surgeon did a great job with placement in terms of symmetry, shape and contour. It is a huge improvement to my compete absence of breast tissue I had before. I have my first follow up appointment with the PS tomorrow. I’m going to discuss a revision but in reality I’m not sure how committed I am to wanting a revision at this stage.
