Uneven breasts?

WORTH IT$5,500
I am now three months post-op and am so thrilled with my results. I got 350 cc Mod + silicone implants. I started out as a 32a and am now wearing a 32dd. My clothes fit so much better and I feel proportioned for once! I have had a complication free surgery. The only thing I am worried out is some pressure at the incision site on my left breast. I worry that it is trying to bottom out, but it could be nerves regenerating.

I've never noticed how uneven my breasts are until I took before photos. I did ask the doctor about this at my pre-op on Thursday and he made it seem like they weren't that bad. But the more I look at these pics I realize how bad they are. Is there anything that can be done about this??

This is a HUGE decision! I would not take it lightly! Yes, I agree that you should like the dr. It makes me very uncomfortable that a dr would just look at pics of what you like and he picks the size!?!?? The way 325cc looks on one 150lb woman is not the way it would look on any other 150lb woman! And telling dr a cup size does not work for me, either. There are different style implants, different size. I would absolutely not have surgery without sizers, first! This is your body, and you have to live with the decision! I know, most of us have said that we would be ok if we had selected larger. But, at least we made the choice, not have dr pick size & style. Ok, don't mean to sound bossy, but would hate to see you unhappy after surgery and wish I had said something. Good luck to you!! I hope you are as happy with your results as I am!

I know what you mean, the whole thing kind of baffles me too! But, I have decided to stay informed and do my research and not try to be the expert. I'll leave that to the surgeon!
Thanks for your well wishes and I'm glad you are happy with your results! Always good to hear.

I agree, you have to be very comfortable with the doctor who oerforms this life altering decision on your body. He didnt say why he couldn't get you as full as your pics? Possibly he's giving you the max based on your bwd? I would definitely ask him. I would definitely reschedule your hair appt, you will be so out of it coming off of the anesthesia you'll need your rest. Good luck and keep us posted.

Yeah, he said the pics were great examples but I may not be as full as them. I guess he is basing that off of my bwd. I have rescheduled my hair appointment for 7 days post-op :) Thanks for the comment and yes I will update. Getting very excited!

A PS should take measurements of your breasts to know the range of implants that will work with your body. I told my PS I wanted a very natural look for my frame and he gave me a very small window of what he believed would give me that look so I tried on sizers within that window. I got a very small implant, 265 CC and I think it fits me nicely and right now I'm estimating I'm a C cup. I do not think your breasts are that uneven... I think you have a nice shape to begin with. No two breasts are the same so it's best to keep that expectation even after the surgery. Good luck!

Aw thanks hun! Yes, I still look at my pics and am shocked that I look so crooked. The mirror doesn't show me that! Thanks for the well wishes...glad you are happy with your results!

Today I had a second consultation with my doctor...
Today I had a second consultation with my doctor and brought my husband along. Nothing earth shattering came out of it, he basically told my husband everything he told me. He did tell me that the example pictures were helpful in determining what size I would like. However, said that he might not be able to get me as full as those pictures. Which, I really don't understand. He said that he thought I would need 325 to 375 ccs. This make me a little nervous because the first doctor told me I could go up to 450 ccs. But, I guess I would rather be smaller than I would like than larger. I'm a very black and white person, so things like this give me a little anxiety.
I did confirm that my surgery is scheduled for 1/16/13 at 6:30 am!!! I have had a hair appointment scheduled for that day at 4:30 pm. Think I'll be able to make it? I think I'll reschedule even if my husband can drive me.

You do need to be comfortable with your surgeon. You may need to call them with a concern (while in an emotional state) & you want them to be calming, understanding, & knowledgable. We are about the same size, I'm 5'7" 127 lbs. I went with 525 cc in one breast & 550 in the other to even them out. I went under the muscle & I definitely lost size by doing that. I wish now i would have compensated for that & gone a tad bigger. Also keep in mind your breasts will be very perky & high for a few weeks. Then they start to soften & lose some volume. I remember crying for a few days thinking I looked like Dolly P. but they turned out perfect. Good luck.

Hi Queenie23, thank for the reply. I am starting to get super nervous about my size as I see so many women say they wish they had gone larger. Hmmm
