Unhappy with results - don't feel like it was worth the money

Not So Happy
$5,000
So I had my procedure the week of Thanksgiving making me almost 6 months post op and I have been relatively unhappy with my results for a while. I have shown my breasts to 2 people close to me to get their opinion and they seem to think the results are ok. I guess I just don't feel like it was worth the money or the time spent in recovery. My main concern was having a perkier look and higher nipples. I wasn't sure if I would need a lift but I knew that if I did need one that I wouldn't want to have surgery for a few years because I haven't had any children yet. A lot of what I liked about my breasts at my last update I assume was just swelling. Now my breasts feel uncomfortable and I'm not sure if it's just feeling coming back to numb areas. My right breast crease looks and feels lower than it did when I first had them done but as I didn't take any reference measurement in this area I can't be sure but it feels like it's sliding down my chest wall almost; I have ripping on the bottom of that breast and was told it just means the tissue was thinner on that side. Anyway I'm including pictures at this point and I hope they are helpful to anyone considering Dr. Fee. I will likely get a revision in Miami within the next year.

I'm only 5 days post op and I really want a glass...
I'm only 5 days post op and I really want a glass of wine, so much so that I've twice considered calling Dr. Fee on this beautiful Saturday and asking how many sips would be ok. I had been considering a breast augmentation for a few years now but I kept putting it off because I haven't had any children yet. I finally decided to go ahead with the procedure and enjoy having fuller breasts again. I have gained and lost weight a few times over the last 4 years and it definitely affected my breast volume. I wasn't sure if I would need a lift to achieve the desired change or if I could get by with just implants. I had consultations locally with 2 doctors and they both said that I may be able to achieve what I want wit just implants. I chose Dr. Fee because he made me feel the most comfortable in my consultation. So far I think I'm happy with my results. My boyfriend loves them; there isn't anything wrong with them I just think most implants look odd until about a month post op. The pain is definitely different than I expected and most of my breast is numb except the nipple. I got 400cc smooth round high profile mentor memory gel implants with an inframammary incision.

Don't worry, you'll hopefully be able to enjoy your wine soon. ;) Yes, your breasts will take a few months to settle in and look more natural. Feel free to join the November 2015 breast augmentation surgery forum for some post op support. Congratulations and please keep us posted as you continue to heal!

Hi Jax, sorry my english, but i have a few questions:
-was a subsmuscular technique?
-why 400cc?. Have any doctor explained to you about the mastopexia surgery? because i think got "ptosis"....
Good luck with the PO! you have a beatufil skin! :)
