I'm so sorry you don't like them!! That's my absolute biggest fear heading into my procedure. My I ask what it is about them that you hate? Is it the size, shape or the asymmetry ( which I don't see btw) ? I think they look great! Hopefully with more time they'll settle??? I'm also wondering, did you show your doctor pictures of what you wanted? I have my pre op on Friday so I'm looking for advice if you are willing to give it. I TOTALLY understand if you don't want to.

I did show my doc pictures that I liked and he used a 3D photo rendering program to "try on" different sizes to show an estimated end result. They are now two completely different breasts! the left breast, although it appears smaller in these pics is about a cup size larger than the right. They are shaped differently with the right having a large flat area on the inner lower pole and the left points off to the side and falls far to the side when I lay on my back. They just don't look like breasts and certainly not what I was hoping for for nearly 7k. The last picture there is me pushing them together as hard as I can and there is still a gap! I can't get cleavage even if I try!!!! I was really confident in this doctor going in and LOVED all the before and afters I was shown. I want them out.
April 29, 2015
Oh and the size does bother me! They ended up being a 30F when it was all said and done. I just wanted a C even though my doc thought that would be too small. I actually chose a smaller implant than the one he had suggested.

It is still early, I think. I sincerely hope for your sake, that they settle down a bit so you don't hate them. :( You're right though, it's a lot of $$$ to not be totally happy. SO SORRY! One more question... Under the muscle or over? Oh and have you discussed your concerns with your ps? What does he think?

I don't know who's behind the keyboard advising you to relax, but my friend of 20 yrs recently 1 month ago had BA. She lives in FL and her surgeon did an amazing job, and she has 3 kids and nursed all 3 and is very fit. Her boobs were fine on day one. This man did a sloppy job ,and he obviously doesn't care. You report him and get your money back. Sue him if you need to. The amount of BA he keeps screwing up you ladies could bring a class action lawsuit against him. You don't listen to him or his staff and whoever is behind the keyboard, probably his staff. Get to a plastic surgeon asap an check to make sure they have not had sanctions filed against them. You just take it easy on yourself, and know that this will work out. God bless.

What exactly did you want and going for? I am so sorry you don't like them :( Have you spoke with the doctor and did the doctor not communicate with you on your wants?

Yesterday was my 3 week mark and I'm still very upset with my results. I hate the way they look. There isn't a single thing I like about them. I want them out so badly :(

Im at 3 weeks as with 325 textured round. Your bottom will round out nicely and they will fall a bit when your chest wall gives in and lets go :). Mine have the same shape I may even be slightly more flat on the bottom. We have the same weight and height and breastfed. Hang in there I have looked at tons of photos and they all look great in the end. lets say 2 more months maybe ;/
March 13, 2015
I think they look like they're still healing! Have you talked to your doc about a revision?
March 13, 2015
My doctor says they "look great". I don't see him again until my six week appointment. I'm seriously distraught and worried that my surgeon might be the type of guy who can't be wrong.
March 13, 2015
Have u tried posting a question with pics for the doctors here on real self? Maybe they can offer their expert opinion it might help you figure out of your plastic surgeon is misleading you!
March 13, 2015
I have and so far the answer has been they are too big and I just need time. I did find a girl on here that didn't have her muscle released enough and had a look very similar to what i'm having. http://www.realself.com/question/12-weeks-post-op-and-want-cry She was able to have a revision to fix hers. If it's that simple in me I would be pretty happy to have just have it fixed but the impression I get from my doctor is that he feels it's as good as it's going to get. I'll obviously have a chance to talk to him more in depth at my next appointment but if I need a revision to get the results I want then I want him to be up front about it and not try and get me to accept things are they are. I've seen this doc do some beautiful work so I know he has it in him, but I've also heard some not so nice things about the way he handles things. Hopefully it's not a big deal surgically and we will be able to get on the same page without a lot of butting heads.

I wish you luck. Pls keep us updated.

How are you liking them now? Still unhappy? I honestly think they look great. I want 405 hp sientra as well

Chin up. It takes a LOT of time for them to settle. Anatomically, they look correct. I felt EXACTLY the same way...and honestly...I wasnt happy with them until the 4 month mark. They need to settle and they need to heal. I got 650cc Mentor textured implants and I dont regret it one bit. (My only complaint is that im a tummy sleeper and I cant do that, comfortably, anymore.) They get better, i PROMISE!

The flatness smooths out...and the size will decrease and they WILL settle. It just take time.

They are looking worse and worse :(

So I'm in full blown panic mode now. This looks terrible. This is not at all the results I wanted. Is this the start of double bubble? I hate my breasts so much right now and I want nothing more than to get the implants out of me!!!!

I'm so sorry you're feeling anxious. The outline you see now is your muscle. Your muscle should start relaxing in a few weeks, and then the implant will drop. I understand that you hate this look, but I hope you can find it in yourself to try and be patient!
March 7, 2015
i think you look okay, it is still obvious these are not your final results... I hope you start to feel better!! my left boob was larger before my surgery so we compensated by putting 50 more cc into my right and now my right is way bigger! im right behind you surgery date wise so im following your results... but if it makes you feel any better the diff is only noticable to those of us who are literally scrutinizing details for the purpose of augmentation research... NOT OBVIOUS to those who are just assessing how pretty the overall look is.... i really hope you feel better.
March 7, 2015
My right boob is pikr a whole cup size smaller and a way different shape :( mine were asymmetric before surgery and we talked about doing a larger implant on the right but for some reason he decided not to. My 4 year old keeps pointing out the size difference when I have my clothes on. Its pretty distressing. The bottoms of both are still super wonky. I've cried over it every single day.
March 7, 2015
It's still sooooooo early in your healing process, from the pics you just, I mean just started dropping and fluffing. Give your body some time to heal. You won't see final results for a long time still. Sending happy healing thoughts your way!
March 9, 2015
Any new updates?
March 9, 2015
I've kinda been avoiding updating because I hate how they look :( . I'll Post one on weds. since that will be my 3 week mark.
