8 Months out and wanting to be smaller

Hi ladies! So its been a while but here are some updates. My breasts pretty much look the same, as my latest pic up there (4mo p/o). The asymmetry you've seen in the earlier pics 2 months is pretty much resolved. Although my left was and is always bigger, it looks like it does in my 4 month po pics still. But basically, I am on here for some reassurance...
1. I still want smaller boobs. I know, I probably sound crazy to some of you but, When i work out, they are all in the way and stuff, and I am still a 36D, 34DD cup boob :/ I wanted to be a C. I am at 220ccs but I can't help but want to go smaller to 135-150 area. I am not making any decisions at all, but I know in the next 3 years before I start having babies, I would like to deflate my implants and just see how I feel without them. I guess that's what I wanted from the beginning. Then after babies, if I can't accept it, I an always put the smallest implant I want. I refuse to be talked into a lift. No one NEEDS a lift...it's just a matter of choice. Ugh, I mean, I guess I am fine now with my boobs, but I still don't flaunt them. I realized I don't like attention, or being found "attractive" for something that isn't god given. It actually makes me feel like, "hey, like me for me, not my plastic [RS bleep]." I know it sounds weird, but I just don't like implants for me I guess. I got saline so eventually I can just get them deflated, giving me an opportunity to see appearance without full blown removal surgery- the only option with silicone. It's really brought my anxiety down 100% with having saline.
2. My cysts... so since my PS did fat transfer the first surgery around (still annoyed/bothered about my thigh irregularity from the lipo!!!!) I have developed fat necrosis/cysts that are very painful in my lower right breast. Figures... in the smaller breast as it is. If I remove the cysts, my right breast will be even smaller!!! I know I sound vain, and that's the last thing i want to sound, but I feel i should just leave them for now. I deal with a lot of stress (when I let myself get carried away) with having asymmetrical breasts, even though, its probably a half or a quarter of a cup size if that, it just gets to me. I would be even more upset with even more asymmetry. So I guess I leave it for now.
To end, I am still 100% happy I downsized. My only regret is not going smaller. If you feel big, DO IT!!! I went down nearly 200 ccs with no lift and my boobs bounced right back. I am still overall happy with my decision, since I wasn't ready or mentally prepared for removal surgery.

4 months post op - falling right into place and less swelling!
SgfitJune 9, 2013
Hi all. So its been 4 months since I have downsize and I am thrilled. I noticed that almost everywhere in my house where I take pics, the lighting hits my slightly larger breast and makes it look massive next to the smaller one, but I found some great lighting and a good angle to show you how they really look. yes, lefty is bigger but not by too much and its naturally bigger.
Anyway. My breasts have fallen nicely and swelling has gone down if you can see from last pics. I added a few photos and and thrilled. I would truly wish to go down smaller but I am happy. I am also happy I got the salines. I can always have a surgeon deflate them in the office when I am ready to remove to see if I should just remove them totally or just reimplant with 130ccs. I know it doesn't sound like much but after all my surgery went through with the first time, I realized what I wanted then is not what I want now and what I got was MUCH larger than I ever wanted anyway. Now my goal is to look very natural and just have some improved shape and a LITTLE boost of my natural breast.
Recovery was easy, I still get some pain on the outer part of my breast on the left where surgeon had to place internal sutures so the implant didn't displace itself into my armpit again but its really only in the morning.. its like "morning boob" i guess. I am happy with my results and don't regret going smaller one bit. I am the happy person i shouldhave been to begin with. This is probably my last update unless I remove them down the line or have a complication or downsize again. Im not really too into surgery.

Wow! Ur boobs look great! It really looks like they've gotten a ton smaller since ur surgery. I am about 12 weeks out from my implant exchange and lift. They are finally looking smaller but to be honest I wished I was still smaller. I was a dd before and now im a large C small D. I should have said I wanted to be a B then I would've ended up with C's. I am not opposed to getting them smaller again but that means another lift 2. I am hoping they go down some more but im guessing they probably wont. I need to post new pics....havent been on the site in a while. Glad u r happy!

Hey there, sorry i didn't see this earlier. I put another update up (no more pics though since I still look the same) but anyway- you won't need another lift! Do you need one now?? Going down like by 100 won't need a lift, dont stress!

How are you feeling? I've been thinking of going from 325 to 225... or smaller, just for some definition. but I'm still healing

HI Ladies, Sorry its been so long since my last...
SgfitApril 20, 2013
HI Ladies, Sorry its been so long since my last update. I am a few days away from removing my thong bra (fingers crossed!!) I havent put up any more photos because they are having a hard time dropping from the thong bra. The underneath band is very thick and preventing my boobs from dropping. I have seen a lot of change in the aseymmtry I mentioned before, they are getting close to being more symmetric. Although they will never be because one was always bigger..right after my downsize the left was much bigger. Anyway, I will post some pics when I feel there is significant change after the thong bra is removed. I am so pleased I moved forward with the downsize. I wish I could have gone to 130-160ccs range though. Oh well. I am still pleased im much smaller!! If you are struggling with your implant size and considering downsizing GO FOR IT!! You will be happy! I am also extrremely relieved having saline over silicone...no more worries for this girl :)
