33 Yr Old Mom of Two (BF Both) Getting Long Overdue Perk Up W/ Ideal Implants - McLean, VA

Bra fitting

Well I went to Victoria's Secret for a new bra as I'm in need of a decent bra. Yes I know they'll change but I had already bought a great balconette bra from HM in 34D which fits like a glove. So VS measured me as 32DD which is the same as my 34D but I really don't feel like they appear that large. Anyway, I went to see my surgeon for a follow up last Thursday and expressed my concern over the sizing of my right implant. Pre surgery we agreed to have a 40cc difference to even out asymmetry which she didn't not honor for whatever reason. She took new photos and I'll return in 4-6 weeks for another check up. Should they still appear different, I'm going to see about a possible revision on that side. I waited a long time and paid a lot of money to be satisfied. Will update soon.

Did she explain why she didn't honor the 40cc difference? I hope she won't charge you for revision costs.

She didn't. We'll see what happens. I know they're also still changing.

Hi! Did you have your follow up? How is everything going with the evening out and size discrepancy? Did you talk to your doc about the revision?

I discussed it and she understood my concerns. I'm scheduled to return in June to see how things are evening out. They appear even size wise but because one was max filled and the other min filled they feel different from each other and it bothers me. We'll see what happens.

Ok! I'm glad she's being receptive to your concerns. I hope the difference in feeling subsides soon. I have read that Ideals take many months to fully soften. But being patient for that is hard! My nipples were a half centimeter off pre-surgery and it didn't bother me but now that my breasts are fuller and my nipples don't sink in, I feel like it's super obvious if I'm braless. With a bra or nipple covers, my breasts look great and totally even. My sister says she can't tell but bc it's my own body, I'm hyper aware. I didn't want to mess with nipple placement bc I scar easily and I felt like it would snowball into me wanting an areola reduction bc those are not exactly the same size either, etc etc.

I think we're just super critical of ourselves

Checking in

Just checking in. So my right is dropping and fluffing faster than my right. They used two different sized implants to correct symmetry but I'm feeling like my smaller breast is still notably smaller than my larger leftie. Have my next follow up on 4/20 where depending on how things have changed I'll address it as I'm not too thrilled with it this moment.

Can't believe it's been over a month already. I feel great, have resumed regular activities with no issues. Saw my doctor at 3 weeks and she said I look fantastic! Going back at 8 weeks for a final check up.

They're slowly dropping and feeling more natural. My before larger breast is still fuller at the bottom as it had decent breast tissue but when looking at them head on, they're symmetric...optical illusion I guess. As far as the ideal implant I'm so happy knowing I have the feel of silicone with the safety of saline.
