Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I can tell my PS is getting somewhat agitated with me... His answer this time round, no surprise there..... 'you will have beautiful breasts & you have a guarantee'. 'We will look again at 3 months' ......
Seriously!? Its not exactly putting my worries at ease, or should it?
I asked about wearing my strap again & to perhaps massage my right breast, but he doesn't want me to massage my breast as I have textured implants. And as for the strap, he had concern that this could negatively impact the nice,big left breast.
I will just have to wait & see what happens. Grrrrrr!!!
I'm by no means an expert in BA, but my theory is that right breast pocket need to be lowered at the crease to bring it in line with the left breast fold. This will allow the implant to not squish up into my armpit & drop into a natural position.
In the back of my mind I was thinking CC, but they are feeling more & more softer with each day. So I will put that thought to bed for now....
I posted a question to the doctors & consensus are, again no surprise there, 'it's too early to judge & I should wait at least 3 months'.
I know this! I was just hoping that one of the Docs could look at my pics & perhaps point out something that could explain why my right breast is now so small...
One doc did have this to say & I'm not sure what he means with "depression over the upper pole" ...??
"You have fair amount of asymmetry before,but still it is too early
I would recommend that you wait at least three month before evaluating the final result. The other issue is the preexisting asymmetries. Your left breast fold is 1.5 cm lover,your left nipple pointing outward. You have more depression over the upper p[ole of your left breast than right."
So like many of us worry-wart-boob-obsessed ladies do, I went searching for tricks I could try to help my right breast descend south. I read a tip from a Doc on this forum, he recommended an elastic bandeau above the 'high' breast & below the breast that is in good position. He refers to it as 'Mexican gun belt style'.
It's worth a try I recon & perhaps this could proof my theory wrong.

I have been feeling some pain & discomfort In my right breast & thought it is probably still the swelling & the cold weather that is making my muscles a bit tight. But when I looked at them, I can see some thing is not right with my breasts.
I really don't know which breast is ok...
The left one that is nice & big?
The right one that is small & painful?
I know it is still very soon after the op & understand when my PS said, that if one was bigger than the other before the operation, it will remain that way after the operation. But i look at my picture before & I do not see such a big difference as now.
Could this be a sign of CC?
Could it just be something with how my pockets were created?
I have attached a new pic...
I feel do sad right now!
Tried to voice my concerns with hubby & he's so sick of me & these boobs! So much for support there! :-(

Reading some of my earlier posts where I’m freaking out, I can’t help but shake my head at how silly I was, stressing so much!
Funny how with each new day you faced with different niggles & the issues of the day before seems to be far less & fade away.
Today marks 4 weeks & I have uploaded a new pic showing my progress. My right breast has the 2 freckles on it close to the armpit. (Looking at the photo, it’s your left & my right). This is also the smaller breast & my dominant side. The teardrop shape implant is now visible at 4weeks. I can’t believe how much they have changed in a short space of time! I had my 4week check up with my PS today & he gave me the all clear to carry on with life as I knew it - as long as it doesn’t cause me discomfort, I can do it! My incisions are healing nicely & I’ve started using Cicatrix gel over the scars. As for size, they really don’t look all that big with clothes on, but in a bra, with a side view, they really do project out quite far, to the likes of 9cm give or take. Compared to what I showed before, this change is huge! In 6 weeks I go back to sunny South Africa to see all my family & friends & I can not wait to showcase my new ta-ta’s! By then they should be really soft & more natural looking.
Well to all you ladies out there that is going thru this healing process, good luck & remember, going thru a BA is a journey not a marathon. Take it easy – patience is key!
