Well, I was hoping things would improve with time but it looks like they are getting worse. The symmetry is getting worse...one breast has a breast fold and the other doesn't. I emailed my PS a couple months ago and he said that I just have more volume in one breast. I'm sorry, but no. I'm going this week for a 2nd opinion and then might look into an attorney. You can tell how asymmetrical my breasts are if I'm not wearing a bra. It's very embarrassing.

So....as much as I want to say I'm 100% pleased with my augmentation, I'm not. I realize that I had prior asymmetry prior to surgery, but I feel as though this should have been something that the surgeon takes into account. I am glad to actually have breasts, but at least two of the same size would be nice. Also, I went to my doctor with my concerns and he doesn't accept fault and is expecting me to pay for fat grafting into my smaller breast to make them "even". I'm not pleased...

They seriously look wonderful, and I think they look totally symmetrical size wise! :)
I think your areolas being slightly more different than they were pre-op because of the size enhancement is what's bothering you (I'm seriously going through the same exact thing and it REALLY bothers me and I didn't think my areola asymmetry and positioning differed very much at all pre-operatively; I never noticed it until a different surgeon pointed it out to me). & I even asked my surgeon if my nipples would look 'wonky' after my implants and he assured me they wouldn't, so I'm a tiny bit disappointed.
But in total sincerity yours do look absolutely beautiful and suit your frame so well! Xoxo

Thanks, I just feel like my left breast is much more full, especially in the lower pole :(
Stop being so hard on yourself sweetie! Keep in mind perfection is sort of impossible, especially when we start with asymmetry, even with the very best of the best surgeons.
I try to push negative boobie thoughts to the back of my mind as much as possible and remain thankful that I don't have complications (capsular contracture, or implant rejection, or necrosis or that sorta thing). Try to focus on the positive! ;)

Girl. Just wanted you to know I'm dealing with the same exact thing with mine. (My bigger one is my left vs right). I didn't think mine were much different pre op but again, it was pointed out to me after I freaked out. Implants emphasized the imperfections! Sucks. But I keep telling myself, i am now a C cup and I look like a female.
are you going to get it fixed? I have no idea what to do.... He suggested fat-grafting (which would cost another 5k and is temporary. lmfao). I think I'm going to find another surgeon to have a consult with..
They look fantastic. I got 310's in November 2013 and I'm now sized at a 32F - I only wanted a full C so I'm off to have revision and 240's put in 27 August - can't wait. Seeing your size gives me hope I'll get what I want this time and I know we can be so hard on ourselves but I think yours look absolutely amazing. I would switch positions with u in a heartbeat right now!!
hi
I don't see what you see or possible feel. Was this addressed by your ps when you met with him? Did yo say something? Does this have to do with the saline vs silicone? Or how it settled bases in the natural skin? I ask only since I've met with this PS and everything you said about him in the beg is spot on - he's by far the most thorough PS I met with. If anything , I thought he was a bit too aggressive in what he thought I needed saying she should fix my Nipple when it didn't need to be fixed - he wanted to do extensive lipo so in the end I thought it best to not follow up with him - also I've decided that I want a woman. I do think your breasts look great - before and after and that natural breasts are fairly asymmetrical anYway so if natural look is what you're seeking then you have it !!

Thanks. Yeah, I understand that my breasts weren't symmetrical before, but there is no reason why one breast should look LARGER post op; I didn't have one breast bigger than the ever before. It's so frustrating..
I had a consult w/ him & it was awful. He looked at my uneven breasts for a second. I had to wrestle my credit card out of his assistants hands, it was worse than buying a car. Even funnier was I asked her if she had implants & she said no, which was hilarious- her boobs were bigger than her head lol. He had a visible boogie the whole time he was playing with his iPad, ignoring me. I did no better w/ the surgeon I chose, I got CC & am getting a revision just shy of a year. Still think yours look good, but I'd feel the same as you, after all we go through for this, there is nothing wrong w/ wanting perfect. Should we expect less when they proudly put the Harvard logo on their buisnesss card & all over their websites?

So it's been a little over 3 months and Ive had some people asking me how I've been doing. The good: my breasts have evened out. The bad: I still don't have much feeling on the underside of my breasts. The ugly: my left nipple is still puffy for some reason and I'm unsure if that will ever change.
Also, in regards to sizing- I had a mini panic attack at Victoria's secret. I was sized and apparently I'm a 32D (or the sister size 34C). I only wanted to be a large B/small C but I guess they wound up "fluffing" a little more than expected. It's not that big of a deal because I think my breasts look good, I was just floored that I could go up to a D from starting with an A and getting such low volume implants.

You look great! Sorry to hear you still have numbness. Keep in mind that VS does vanity sizing. Getting sized at a more specialized store, you might find they recommend a smaller size. Not that it matters if you like how they look :)
Just remember that VS does "vanity sizing," they usually size you a bit bigger in the cup and smaller in the band than you would be in other bras. What matters most is how you feel, and not a particular size. Sizes are just as subjective as opinions :)
You look AMAZING!! I'm very small chested (considering a BA) and Victoria's Secret has sized me as a C!
they look really nice and natural, is there a reason you chose saline over silicone?
