Unhappy - Boobs Still Too Big After I Downsized from 400cc HP to 250cc LP (25, No Kids) - Las Vegas, NV

ORIGINAL POST

I have to chime in as I am so disappointed,...

I have to chime in as I am so disappointed, devastated and depressed. I have been so frustrated since my surgery over 1 week ago and my fiancé can't take it anymore. I don't have anybody to talk with about my concerns and spend my days crying (instead of working):
I got Mentor HP 400cc implants in 2012 which I immediately regretted. I realized that my boob job was simply a big mistake and that my tiny 70AA boobs actually looked cute and matched my body (5'9", 110lbs) perfectly....

After I had scraped the necessary money, I decided to replace/ downsize them to tiny breasts (larger A/ small B cup, Kate Moss Look). I also considered explanation, but because of the stretched skin this was not a good option. I would have been left with deflated flat boobs. So I decided to get as close as possible to my original size, but fill out the deflated skin with a tiny implant.

I showed my PS photos and stressed that I want to look super small (I repeatedly mentioned that want max. 220cc and low profile).

However, I ended up with a full looking chest again. It turns out that I got Natrelle Inspira, Low-Plus Profile 250cc (3.1 mm projection). 250cc!???!
It doesn't look like an A cup at all ... and it's far away from tiny, cute boobs. I am devastated. That's still not me and I feel top heavy and just awful. I really HATE HATE how large they are again. I hated the size immediately. I just feel the urge to explanat the implant and finally be free again. I feel trapped in the wrong body.

Now the most devastating fact is that apparently that's the smallest I can go: I talked to my PS and because of the required diameter (I need around 11.5 cm) I cannot go smaller. My PS claimed that the smaller implant 235cc made my nipple to point in a wrong direction. So the large CC is needed to have the nipples pointin the correct direction.

This is a dilemma now: there is no solution to my problem. I don't know how to deal with this. I wish I never had any boob job to begin with!

I feel bad for you but your pic looks fine. Maybe you should go and get 2 or even 3 opinion's from other ps's. There has to be another solution. There are so many different procedures and other thing's that can be done. Chin up it will work out. Good luck in your journey. Kathleen

I'm in the same boat. I wanted my pre breast feeding A cups back and am a 30E now, but I fit in 32D. I have 275cc moderate plus profile and have been to 3 surgeons now who tell me I can't go any smaller because of my BWD. I'm 5 feet and 110lbs and they just don't look like me, though if you didn't know me before you'd think they could be natural. I got them 6 months ago and am still debating what to do. If I explanat I will have two big scars and deflated breasts but can't go smaller. I was thinking maybe smaller tear drop shaped but was told I couldn't do those after round without a lot of scar tissue. What did you end up doing?

Apparently I have to wait 6 months anyways before my PS will discuss how to move on. So I guess I have to wait it out now. But I am almost certain that I won't be happy. So far, I have figured out that I possibly could still go with 50cc smaller implants (same projection, but diameter will be about 0.75 cm smaller). But I am not sure how much of a difference this would make. The extreme low projection implants won't work because there will be more rippling. So I will keep thinking about my options in the next 6 months.
May 25, 2016
it can take up to 6 months for the breasts to set where they will be and be the size they will be, you are soon post op so maybe you still have swelling... hoping you get closer to your wanted size when healing is complete. I am 6 weeks post my second surgery in less than a year and the swelling is way down ( I would have preferred the swollen size-lol) :-)
May 25, 2016
btw my surgeon is in vegas too.... wonder if we have the same one.
May 26, 2016
Thanks for the heads up! Apparently I have to wait 6 months anyways before my PS will discuss how to move on. So I guess I have to wait it out now. Who is your PS (message me)?
May 26, 2016
sent you a message :-)

You look great! They look small and natural!

I seriously considered implants but I couldn't find a ps who would do 220cc on me so there was my answer. All me all natural.

Though your ps may have told you that you can't explant and look good, there are so many reports on here from women who have explanted and look great. It sounds like that's what fits best with what you want. If you want to be all natural looking then that's your answer. Plus you're so young that your skin will be more likely to still look good after explant.

I hope that you get to the place that you want to.

Glad you didn't get Surgey! Smaller boobs are so much cuter and sexy!

I agree I've looked at tons of explanat reviews here and think the majority of them look really good, with time of course. Some it has taken 6-12 months before they have firmed up. Several had very large implants that had been in a very long time taken out and a year later they look great!

They look very nice and natural. Don't stress!
May 25, 2016
They are small if you ask me and fit your frame perfectly, I wouldn't think you have implants at all. Maybe the size difference from where you started is so drastic that they seem large, trust me they look great on you!
May 26, 2016
Yes, they look very natural. That's the positive aspect. But just too big. But apparently replacing implants with a smaller one results in a more natural look (because of how the skin drapes around the smaller implants)

They look so natural! Give it time, you may still be very swollen!

Your breasts look ideal, and match your frame perfectly.

I know it's common for us to obsess about the result, and fret that it isn't quite right, but honestly and truly, your outcome really does look wonderful.
May 28, 2016
I think your breasts look perfect. Not too big at all. Of course, I am just looking at a picture and I understand that pictures aren't always what they seem. Especially your side profile, it doesn't look like they stick out much at all. I think you should give it time and see how it goes. Good luck.

Still totally unhappy

Katie_92
Today I am totally devastated again. I have the impression they even look bigger now! Today I met a friend who doesn't know any details and she was very suprised that this is supposed to be an A cup - her guess was a large C!!! I can't believe that after 5 years of saving money, this nightmare is still not over...

Have you accounted for the post-op swelling that can take as much as a year to go down? Don't get discouraged yet, it's way too soon. And you look great, not too large at all. Hang in there and be patient!
May 29, 2016
Yes, that's what I was hoping to hear from my PS during my last check up visit. But I was told that there is hardly any swelling. bummer!
May 29, 2016
I believe you are being unrealistic in your expectations. Your breasts do not look too large. Different bra styles and manufacturers can mean different sizes and the bra can affect how large your breasts look. You also need to wait for the swelling to go down. Since your last comment came only 3 days after a number of readers advised patience, the waiting will likely will be extremely difficult for. Could you find a counseling professional with whom you could talk? Sometimes people have post-surgical depression that is very difficult for them. Counseling and sometimes medication can be helpful.

"...for you", sorry the word disappeared at the end of that sentence.
May 29, 2016
I actually asked my PS about the (amount) of swelling and was told that the swelling is minimal and I cannot expect any shrinking or decrease in size. There is only a realistic chance that the shape will change slightly.
May 29, 2016
Hi there. I think you look great, but I understand this is not the look you want. My implants calmed down a bit after about nine months. You're young and I think your skin will bounce back just fine. If you are sure this is not the look you want, I recommend you take them out as soon as you can afford it. Check out other women's explant stories, and try to find someone young, like you. Your odds of a good explant result are much greater due to your young age.
May 29, 2016
Considering my result, I cannot stop wondering why my PS didn't stick to the 220 cc we initially agreed on? I double checked with the staff before the surgery (and asked about the implant specs) and the 250cc implants never have been mentioned. Had I known before surgery that they will be in the operating room I would have stressed that I am not OK with that size. Why did the PS just use implants I have never approved? Is this common practice? Has anybody else have a similar experience?

If a patient shows you wish boobs that are tiny (70A) bra size, why would you go larger during the surgery? When in doubt I would go smaller in such a case. I just don't understand?!!! I also feel like my request wasn't taken seriously.

I know 15-30 cc is not a huge difference, but in small implants this is still 6-12% ...

What is your problem they look great
