Mini-boob Job 295cc, Above Muscle, Weird Popping Sound/poking out
I had breast augmentation surgery with combined upper plepharoplasty 8 days ago. This was the only moment I would have time for such long recovery, so I had to do it "now or never". I have dreamed about bigger breats for 2 decades.
My starting measurements:
6'4/163cm tall
132lbs/60kg
34AA cup
No kids
34 years old
Space between nipples: 19cm. Wideness of 1 boob: 12,3cm.
Implant: 2 x Mentor moderate+ 295cc smooth round.
Local sedation not anesthesia. Above muscle.
Funnily enough, all this looking at my boobs non-stop for few weeks before surgery and reading realself and seeing before-after pictures of countless women, it made me realize I LOVE my own boobs in the last days before surgery. I realized that they were actually very beautiful perky small breasts with pretty nipples. I had a crisis moment and tried to convince my surgeon to do fat transplant instead, but apparently I was too thin for that option. I was then pleading for smaller implants at the surgery appointment like 250cc or 275cc but he didn't have any at the clinic at that moment, because initially weeks before I consistently wanted 300-325cc, even argued for 350cc(which he said no to). In the actual clinic, it took me 1,5h to gather myself, and I cried (I was so overthinking all the risks and fearing that I ruin the tiny but beautiful natural breasts that I already have, like, "wtf am I doing to myself?!") .I am glad all this panic passed by the time I took the plunge and was finally off the table. Maybe it was also because I had never had any surgery before. The surgery was a breeze (although the surgeon put them over the muscle instead of under and I got to know this on the operating table?! He said it was because I told him I go to gym alot and he thinks under the muscle is bad for anything more than very casual gymgoers? I was too tired and sedated to argue.. (I wonder can I breastfeed now...?)). My original pre-surgery panic hasn't returned yet and it has been a week, I hope it won't return it was so awful. The irony is I actually got a major boob greed like even that VERY SAME evening and it was massively strong for the next few days. I felt so unsatisfied. I still have it a bit. I wish I had gotten the maximum size he offered. I wished for small C-cup but carefully tried out bras today and it is now large 75B. Ofc, it can still change (I dunno, to the larger OR to the smaller??) when the swelling goes down.
I wanted to have natural results for my body but then I also wanted to have big enough boobs for cosplay and corsets and such... In the end, my fear won in a way- I decided upon the smaller implant size (my surgeon offered 325cc as a maximum for my petite frame). I took the smallest he had which is 30cc less, 295cc. This has proven to be small enough that nobody has noticed and I can still wear the same clothes I had, they just fill out better. I was wearing super push-ups with my 34AA cups ALOT during my life, so my breasts are now about the same size but with 0 padding needed. Ofc, I am only wearing this support-bra now after surgery so propably with push ups I could get my current busom more noticeable, and hopefully in the future to have a cleavage finally.
The recovery has been rather easy, I have had more annoyance with my upper eyelid surgery. The swollen eyes and visible black stitches, it is way harder to keep secret. I wish the stitches would melt already. The boobs have given me not much pain, I didn't need painkillers. Only the nipples started to be SUPERsensitive. Even fabric or shower hurts them. I hope it passes. The boobs are still quite swollen.
NOW TO MY ACTUAL QUESTION: Has anyone experienced a small popping sound from the implant? This is combined with the feeling of an implant crease folding downwards when I press my left boobs edge? The implant is visible there(and I can feel it) below the skin as a "hill", like, almost like the implant is no longer a circle but has been pushed to make this triangular wrinckle against my skin? Is it possible? Can it return to be normal and round? This all started after I was horrified 1 day after surgery, appalled that my breasts stand so very far apart. The surgeon suggested pushing some handtowels into the bra for the nights, on the sides, to push the boobs together. I did. Well, 2-3 nights after, I finally woke up with square boobs (see photo). The pressure had made the breasts(especially the left) take a new shape. Surgeon told me then to stop with the towels after all. Honestly, I am not sure was that advice with the towels healthy or professional in the first place? Did I ruin my boob now? Did that pressure create a crease in the silicon and a "outpoking hill" on my implant that will stay there forever, popping aloud when pushed down? Or is this all just normal?? I am so stressed out and the surgeon frankly is very shortworded about this, not very comforting at all. Thanks immensely for help and opinions!
