I haven't seen my surgeon since my 6 month check up. I don't feel like much has changed... I went to see a different surgeon who says j have slight cc but it's minimal enough to just leave it. Hubby and I are considering another baby in the near future so I will just wait it out and see if the right one will drop any... If not, definitely will be doing some research for a correction ????????????

The size of the gap has to do with your anatomy, implant size, and type. I too went to Yamahata and I'm almost 5 mths out and not completely happy. My prob is opposite of yours - too big of a gap for my liking no cleavage and NOT big enough. Looking at a revision now. He went smaller than I wanted and I have assymetry issues similar to yours, although my right breast was originally slightly smaller... but I expected him to fix that during surgery? He told me that slight assymetry cannot be fixed with two different implant sizes (which is what I've been seeing on Realself). He said if I were to revise and go larger, it somehow makes up for the diff in assymetry. His explanation still doesn't make sense to me. I'm curious what he's told you it seems you're having the same issue and you went way larger than me. Sorry you're not happy but you need to voice that to him. He's a great listener and he definitely wants his patients to be happy. He's doing my revision for free, but prob because I got saline and the revision to go larger with saline is quite simple. But now thinking I want to switch to silicone. Either way you'll have to give it a few more mths if you want to revise. Your breasts will continue to change..trust me.

It's been about 10 months, it's still noticable in the size. My boobs weren't even before, and that's what I was hoping he could help fix, enhance, improve! I haven't been going to my check ups with him because all he says is "they look good or they look fine- they are where they are supposed to be". I've told him I didn't like them but he tells me that my boobs look this way because I wanted to go large. It doesn't make sense to me that he couldn't put a larger size in one side to even out the sizes ...25-50cc is noticebly different on me.

I can see that there is not much space between your boobs but I still think you look good! Compared to your before pics, it seems he hasn't changed much of your natural shape/ anatomy, which I think is good! I really don't think revision is necessary - but you must be happy with your boobs! Give it time though!

Thank you for your comment I definitely agree what I have now is a huge improvement from the before boobs! I just pictured pretty, even boobs... I'll give it time tho. Another baby is likely in the future hehe

Do you mind my asking..what was your bwd before surgery?
Did you ask to make sure the size you wanted was compatible with your bw? I was surprised when you said you went moderate as almost no surgeons use that profile anymore..but figured you were extremely wide..and yet, in your photos, you look tiny and narrow..Did he explain those differentiations. ..and did he actually take measurements of you ever?

I think my bwd was 13 is what he mentioned or I saw him write down. Both ps I saw suggested moderate for my frame so I was set on moderate.. He said it would Give me a natural look. I was concerned about the tenting! It's not as bad now... Thank goodness!

I'm not really happy about my outcome. But I will say it's better than not having anything. I wish the doc was firm about not being able to go so big. Or picked hp so the diameter of the implant didn't take up so much space on my chest. The gap is hair thin and I've been looking into revision already. I've told my ps my concerns early in yet he thinks "they look fine". And that he put a large sizes implant bc I wanted a big size, and theres no gap bc the implant has no where to go. I feel like I just have to accept his work. Im sorry ladies, I would not recommend this doc. He doesn't have that many before and after pics on his site, and they seem like old pics. My right boob Has barely dropped and they look lopsided/ uneven. I know they were uneven before but I guess I should have been more particular about my questions during consultations. I should not have rushed into this procedure. Now I'm out of a lot of money and still not happy with my boobs. He's cut the pocket too big and now my gap is hairline thin. And it looks like the left boob has potential to drop way more bc it seems to me like the implant has way more room to move around in than the right side.

Hi, I'm sorry that your doctor isn't on the same page as you. At 4 months, there is still so much change that will occur. I know how frustrating it is though, to completely have an idea in your head, and not visually see it. The small gap between your boobs is exactly the cleavage envy that I have. Mine will never touch or bump against each other on their own. My PS did tell me that, but there's always wishful thinking! I hope that you see positive changes in the next few months. I'm sorry that you have these feelings, wish I could hug you!! Keep updating and let us know how it goes. Hugs!!

Aww thank you! You are so sweet! Maybe we are being to critical of our image... I feel like they are so uneven looking it's frustrating/ugly! I keep asking the hubs for reassurance that he likes the way they look. I went bra shopping finally, and I feel like the bras do not fit the small gap correctly. I will try to be patient. Thank you for your comment though, it made me feel a little better. *hugs*

I'm sorry you are not happy so far! I would try to be patient and give it a little more time to see if they drop. I honestly think they look great and you have an awesome cleavage but your opinion is the only one that matters so I really hope your breast can end with the results you expect :)

I have to tell you, I think they look great! That may not be what you want to hear but just like Iamsoready said, I want that kind of cleavage, I just don't want to go as big as I have to go to get it. I would wear them proudly if I were you!
