Hello fellow Real selfers !! :). I am a mother of 2 a 25 year old and a 5 year old . That's right I started all over again in my late 30's. My breasts are a very large DD. They are to big!!! I had very small breasts 6 years ago and decided to have a breast augmentation done. I really only wanted a C cup but for some reason when the doctor was at the surgery Center he decided that if I wanted to achieve my goal I may have to go up a size . Well he is the best in our area and I trusted his judgement thinking they would only be a few cc's bigger than the ones we looked at in his office. Well they ended up being more than what I had bargained for. When I got to the hotel from the hospital and took the bandages off for the first time I was mortified!! Omg they were huge . I thought maybe when the swelling went down they would go down, that was not the case. I did call the office and asked them to fix it but hey said I need to heal for a while before they could do anything. In the meantime I got pregnant so could not have the revision done. I have waited a long time and it is finally the right time to get them fixed. Because of the size of the implant ( 600 cc's) I will definitely need a lift. I'm hoping to go down to 300-350cc's . Surgery is booked for February 3rd . I'm excited and scared at the same time.

I have read a few reviews where people ended up bigger than expected. Is this quite common? I have agreed a cc size with my ps and asked if he altered during surgery, he said not. I Just wondered if I need to double check this again with him. Did you agree to go up in size if needed? Just wondered how it works? Xx

Yes, I was on my way to the city my surgeon is in and stopped my my girlfriend's house on the way... she had hers done by the same Dr. Hers were sitting very far apart with a lot of space between them. I mentioned that I didn't want that, I wanted cleavage. He said he may need to go bigger . I agreed

I am really looking forward to getting rid of the weight of the huge implants !!They are 600 cc's I'm hoping to go down to 300- 350cc's :) These ones cause so much discomfort in the neck , head , and shoulders. Not only that because they seem to be heading North and South lol is also causes pain in the breast plate area. The doctor will be doing an implant exchange and a lift. I'm a little concerned about the scarring but believe it will be a good trade off.

I think you're making a wise decision to go ahead with the lift now. I have seen women try to avoid the lift with their revisions, and they end up getting a lift within a year or so. The scars will take time to heal and fade, but give them a year and you'll be happy! Here is a link to my Breast Implant Revision Downsizing Notebook. Perhaps some other members in this Notebook will be helpful to you. Looking forward to your updates!

Yes, links do not work as well on the app but you should be able to go to my profile and view my Notebooks. The icon on the app for Notebooks looks like a bookmark at the bottom of your screen. I have several of them, but this one has the word "Downsizing" in it. Hoping you can find it. If not, send me Direct Message and I'd be happy to help!
