I like the size but had bottoming out and horrible scars - Miami, FL

Hey! I am 19yrs old, 5'3, 120lbs. I started off with a 34B and am now a 34D. I got the 421cc Silicone Teardrop implants- under the muscle, in attempt to look a little natural. My breasts were small to begin with but I think I should have had a better result because they were pretty even and perky. My Implants now look a little uneven (one is droopier than the other) and overall, I guess they are not "bad" looking but I expected a better result. I don't have any cleavage (which i asked for) unless I wear a good bra and Honesty I think they look more like a C than a Full D- without a bra.
I heard recently that Teardrops are not recommended for Implants bigger than 400cc because gravity will naturally bring them down anyway so MOD+ or HP would be better.
I definately do want a re-do soon. I am considering the same PS, since they do offer a huge discount for re-do's, but I am a little scared that I wont get the result I want. It has also been 9months since my surgery and my scars are still VERY visible and pink. I should have gone through the crease and NOT the nipple. I regret messing with the nipple and hope it will heal well soon! The crease would have hid the scar pretty well since I have larger implants. I hope to go up to 500cc and do either MOD+ or HP to make them look perky but still soft.
Overall, I do have to say they look great in a good bra and clothing. I like them better than my little B's lol. And I have gotten many compliments about how soft and natural looking they are. I guess I want more cleavage because I like to wear skimpy little bikinis or dressy shirts when I go out sometimes that cant be worn with a bra.. I dont regret the surgey, just wish we would have gotten it right the first time. The pain was bad as soon as I woke up from the surgery and it hurt the first few days to sit up from bed, etc but after a few days it wasnt as bad.

Hi Lana,
Welcome to the community and thanks for the review. Glad you are somewhat happy with your new breasts, it's also nice that your PS gives a discount for redoes. Please keep us updated on how everything goes and if you do go back.
Thanks,

What a well-written review! Thank you. I see what you mean about your breasts looking natural. They really do! And the size looks great. It does sound like you might be happier with round implants, though. It seems like a lot of doctors don't love the teardrops and it's too bad your surgeon didn't give you his opinion one way or the other.
Please let us know what you decide to do. Thanks for being part of our breast implant community here on RealSelf!
Cleavage is a condition that exists when a woman's breasts are brought close together, usually by an article of clothing. Breasts, in their natural condition, are not positioned that close together. If they were, a woman could not breast feed her children.
When I was a 36A I made the mistake of trying to define cleavage to my doctor prior to having my implants done in 1998. As a result, he agreed to push my breasts closer together during surgery. BIG MISTAKE! The result is now my breasts are no longer in a natual position, so I cannot wear all those expensive molded push-up bras seen in the catalogs. I can only wear certain types of underwire bras. And I can't wear certain types of bathing suits, either. And if I put on weight, my breasts look noticeably misplaced. This was all my own fault.
All small-breasted women should receive practical education on "Breasts and How to Wear Them" before they have surgery, and the course should be given by a naturally well-endowed woman of mature years. I didn't know what I didn't know until it was too late.
Hey everyone. I thought it was about time to add...
