Flat Chested After Breastfeeding, 250cc Anatomical Implants

I completely understand the dilemma. I preffered tear drop implants because I thought they looked more natural and that's what the 2 surgeons I saw suggested. But they are firmer. My PS said they will soften but I don't know if they will ultimately be as soft as round ones. I have seen very natural results with rround implants in this site (with moderate projection). But it takes time for them to look natural and I don't know if they end up looking as natural as tear drop ones. So it's all a trade off. For me the most important was the natural look, rather than the softness. Of course there is the additional risk of rotation but as long as you have a good surgeon and you follow the post op procedure, it should be fine. Good luck!

You're totally right - there's always a compromise and I guess I need to decide what I'm most ok with that being! Thanks for your advice!

Hello, Thank you! I understand, I love sleeping on my front. But sleeping on my back wasn't as bad as I anticipated. I used a neck pillow for the first few weeks and it helped a lot. I think after 4 weeks I started sleeping on my side. It does go quite quickly. Good luck!

Thanks for that. You sound like a very positive person so I need to stop worrying and try to be more like that! Did you bother with a wedge pillow or just the neck one?

I hesitated about the wedge pillow but I didn't get one in the end. I slept on the sofa for the first few nights as it was easier to sleep upright.

Hello, Thank you for your comment! I agree it's the best to hear from people who have gone through the same process! I am more than 3 months post op and I tend to forget that I actually had surgery. My boobs really feel like a part of me and I don't have any discomfort. The only time I feel them is when I do pushups at the gym! They do look very natural. I went to the beach a month ago and I don't think that anybody could tell they weren't natural. They are still getting softer. They don't bounce much at the moment. But my surgeon said that it can take up to 6 months. I have checked this site a lot and I have seen absolutely beautiful results with round implants too. As long as you go with a lower profile and a small size you will be absolutely fine. It might take a little longer to look more natural but they will get there after a few months. And they will be softer at the beginning than anatomical ones. So I think you'll be fine! Good luck and let me know if you have more questions. It is exciting! You will love the result (you look a lot like I did pre op!).

Thanks so much for replying. Yes, we have very similar pre op boobs, which is why your review caught my eye. That's so wonderful to hear that you forget about having had the surgery and that they feel like they are yours! That's the best we can hope for (along with them looking great too ofcourse). It will also be such a relief to get through this phase of boobession and be on the other side. It's like when your house hunting - all you do is life and breath real estate, then you finally buy a house. And all that time and head-space to real estate is released! All the best for your ongoing journey. :-)

Thank you! I looked at your profile and I agree you look a lot like I did. I am very happy I went for teardrop because I was so flat chested (I have seen some fantastic results with round moderate but it helps if you start with some breast tissue). My surgeon said 250cc max. I am glad I didn't go smaller. A bit bigger would have been fine too (and you are taller). But I like the fact that it is not noticeable with a surgical bra as I didn't want people to notice. And I do think the shape is very natural. Keep me posted!

It's true, I am a few inches taller (I hadn't noticed that initially). Your breasts were nicer before than mine are currently though (not deflated at all, just small). Anyway, your pictures give me hope! I keep going back and forth about the size in my mind. In the office I got a bit greedy and wanted a little more than 285ccs but now I am not so sure. Like you, I definitely want to look as natural as possible (and yet still have this whole process seen worth it!). May I ask what your breast width dimension was? Mine is 13cm, which seems a little wider than many of the smaller-framed women on here. Good luck with your recovery! You already look great!

I understand, I kept going back and forth about the size - between 215 and 250cc. I think with up to 300cc you'll look great. There's somebody who just got 300cc (she was also flat chested) and she looks very natural. I'll try to find her profile. My breast width is 12cm and the implants width is 11.5 cm.

Check out Lizk81. She recently got 300cc.

Will do - thank you!

Oh, also, how's it going with sleeping? You able to stomach or side sleep yet? or only on your back. Hope all is going well for you. :-)

Ignore that last question - just saw you only posted today that you are still sleeping on your back. Doh!

Hello, Thank you for your comment. Yes, I am very happy. I do think that anatomical implants look very natural. However I have seen very nice results with round implants on here too. I am feeling very good. I had my 6 week review and my PS said I can resume all normal activities and wear normal bras. My implants are still hard but my PS said that they would soften in the next few months. I don't know if they end up as soft as round ones, that's a very good question! In terms of temperature, they haven't felt cold. I think that this can happen with saline implants, rather than with silicone. And finally yes, I have been sleeping on my side for the last 2 weeks I think and a little bit on my front too (which is my favourite position). The comment was for when I did the review (they can't be edited unfortunately). I might post an update. Good luck with your surgery. Let me know if you have more questions. I found this site very useful!
