Hi girlies, I thought I would post here for support and advice, and to share my journey.
My weight has fluctuated a lot since I was a teenager and my boobs were deflated, on top of having tuberous breasts to begin with. I am 5’1 and ~125, I don’t wear bras, mostly sports bras or dresses with some structural support.
I checked multiple surgeons in my area, and only went to 2 consultations. I tried on sizers at both and ended up booking with the first surgeon (had the roundest and most symmetrical results I could find). We talked about goals and decided on 200-250, he told me it would lean towards the lower end of that spectrum for me, and I told the I wanted within that range on the bigger side, silly me. I did not mention I run often, or that I did want to continue with the freedom of not really wearing a bra, as I didn’t know this part of the discussion mattered at the time (now I know).
I honestly feel like I did not see many cases if women my size, wanting mini boob jobs or having a conservative goals on the surgeons pages, and I did not know about this site beforehand either.
Surgery day was 2 weeks ago, he ended up placing 270cc moderate profile motiva implants. Since I had a mastopexy plus the tuberous breast correction, I was mostly worried about the drains, pain, and honestly trying to cope with daily tasks (I almost fainted/had a presyncope from the pain in the shower).
By week 2, after the drains were out and ‘peak’ swelling had gone down, that’s when I started spiraling into these crying spells every time I’m naked. They just feel so heavy and big, and I’m worried that the bulk of the swelling has already gone down. I’m just so conflicted, because he went above our pre-op goal of 200-250, but also who’s to say the initial goal wasn’t also too big for my frame/size because I just did not communicate my aesthetic and functional goals better. I am trying my best to look at the positives, and how the mastopexy looks great, and they look symmetrical, and this whole body positivity of love yourself, but when I already overpaid for this surgery I just feel so cheated and upset.
My friends and boyfriend have been so supportive through this. I had already mentioned to my surgeon over the phone last week that I was spiraling due to how big they were, and he reassured me it was just swelling, which honestly helped me to some extent, but I al still crying over the results every time my brain is unoccupied of tasks. I am seeing him tomorrow, and I’ve made a list of things I want to ask, including a possible revision in the future if I am still dissatisfied, though spending more money into this, when I already overpaid, also makes me so upset.
I am truly unhappy and I just wanted some advice from anyone that felt that their boobs ended up bigger than what they thought they would be (opposite boob greed I guess?)
