Having a hard time

WORTH IT
Well I won't lie, I'm pretty unhappy today. I've been dress shopping and bra shopping and I'm having all the same problems that I used to have... all the dresses that fit me are too small in the breast area, but the ones that fit my breasts are too large everywhere else. Plus, I got professionally sized, and I'm a 32F... which is exactly what I was pre-surgery. My old bras even still fit. My breasts are starting to sag again (which is normal, I know, but indicative of a problem). I really wanted to go so much smaller, down to a 32C, and I'm so disappointed. I see my surgeon tomorrow for my four month check-in, and I'm not sure what to say.
I don't feel any better about my body, in fact, I feel worse. I may just be in a bad place right now, but I feel like all I got out of this surgery were some nasty scars and a lighter bank account. Have any of you guys been through this? I really don't know what to do, I'm just sad. Advice is welcome. Pictures are attached.

Got the surgical tape off!

I'm thrilled with the results. The scars are much smaller than I expected and are getting less noticeable every week. As you can see, my right incision is giving me some problems, I think it's a minor infection but my doctor says it's nothing to worry about. In the meantime, I'm rubbing Bio-Oil on twice a day. I see my doctor again on Tuesday, I'll keep y'all updated!

Hey, that are wonderful results :) What size did you want to go and what do you think they are now? Greetings

I wanted to be about a 32C, I think they're somewhere around a C or D, so I'm pretty happy!

Adding pre- and post- op pictures
sarahbearaAugust 27, 2013
I see my doctor today for my first post-op check-up! We're removing the ends of the sutures and doing a general check-in. Here are some before and after pictures. Once the incisions heal, I'll add the "final" product!

It looks like you are healing nicely, I go in this week and am hoping to have the same results. Thanks for sharing, helps us future pre-oppers

Wow! You are looking great! This gives me great hope, as I'm about the same body size and shape as you were pre-op. I'm 5'7" and 145 and a 32FF...hoping to go down to a C...dr. asked me if I had a choice, would I rather him make me smaller or larger than a C...I said, definitely err on the smaller side! Will be following your progress.

I guess there must be some women out there who are unhappy with being smaller, but for myself, I just don't get it. Why go through all that pain and recovery and still be like a D or DD? If I go through all this and end up being not at least a C I'll be crying like a teenage girl with a bad perm. I guess sometimes they can only take so much without ruining blood supply and what not, and I guess if you are super huge, maybe a D or DD would be much smaller....not trying to judge, just trying to understand.
