I am so upset. I am 2 weeks after my procedure and I think I went too big.
I have decided on 397cc moderate plus profile silicone implants, to achieve a C cup (going from my 36A). During the procedure the surgeon decided that the 397cc moderate plus profile was too wide for my chest and instead used 400cc High Profile implant. I am so upset. I didn't want HP. I didn't want fake looking boobs. They are placed under muscle. They look huge right now. I think they are definitely at least a D cup. I am so upset. I am already researching implant removing procedures.
The pictures show what I wanted -as promised by Body Sculptor. The last one is what I got :(

They will settle down heaps! I hated mine for the first 2 weeks because they were so high and swollen... Trust me, give them time and they will settle, then reassess. I definitely don't think they are too big

Thanks for the support. I have a follow up appointment tomorrow and can't wait to hear what the doctor says.

i think that you've got a nice results and the sizing difference that surgeon has made should not even be noticeable but the projection will be more obvious to you. However I believe that they will look really good after they settle down quite abit , so don't rush in being upset right now . As they will change dramatically during the first 3 months period .and only after that if you still don't like them ,you can look for solutions .

Thanks. I will wait because I can't imagine going through the surgery all over again at this time. Plus I am starting a new job in two weeks so I won't have any vacation time for a while. I am going to see my surgeon tomorrow I hope he will put my mind at ease.

The difference in projection and width between a 397cc mod+ and a 400cc high profile implant is minimal. And high profile implants do not always look fake. Try not to worry yet as it is much to early to judge your results. They don't look too big at all in my opinion :). Hopefully you start to love them soon!

Mine are also high and have a weird shape. I'm constantly down since the surgery 3 weeks ago. I haven't seen a change at all. I have 450cc mod+ and I'm only 5'1. I know the larger the size the longer to D&F. Thank God for all the supporting ladies on this forum and their advice and kind words.

3 weeks ago???? Gosh nobody's get educated on the healing of the body after major surgery takes months to recover? So any changes only gonna happen after the healing is completely done. U're results aren't final until your one year mark!
Have patience if u payed all that money for it. It gonna get much better though time!

Ok so I'm 8 weeks now and there just starting to get softer one is dropping faster then the other this is so retarded

Yes but completely normal Hun. The asymmetry of the human body is legendary so getting perfectly symmetrical results is nearly impossible even with PS. But you gonna get to the end of your journey in max 10 months where your results gonna be nearly perfect or perfect depending on your evaluation.
Don't worry u gonna be happy;)

Oh I remember very well after my first BA almost 10 years ago... I was dreaming of that for an another 10 years and when I finally got some I became bipolar too about the feelings,etcetera. So it took a while to see the end of the tunnel but I did and so will you!

If you were a A cup 400 cc is about right to give you a C cup, They will still be very high and swollen, and once they drop and fluff the will look far far more natural. Don't freak out. It is a big change going from NO BOOBS to BOOBS. I've gone through literally hundreds of before and after pics and most people can still be dropping right up till 12 months after surgery. I think the size looks good on you, and they will look so much better in a few months and even more better in 6 - 12 months. It is invasive surgery, give your body and mind time to adjust. :)
I'm sure in no time you will love your new addition. Good luck :)

Thank you, Tara. You're right about the big change. I didn't expect the recovery to be such an emotional roller coaster. All the comments here are putting me at ease. I really hope I end up with boobies that I wanted. So much money and so much pain and discomfort.

Glad your feeling better good luck :)

After seeing my PS

User Avatar
forest_owl
So I had my second massage today and the follow up with PS. I told him I was concerned with how big they were... he told me it was way too early to worry about the size, as they will continue change their shape and the swelling will go down

....but he also said that he put in the size I wanted. I told him I didn't want the HP implants, and that I hate how much volume I have on top. He said the medium profile would have given me even more volume because the implant was much wider.

So...

Am I at ease? NO.

You are only 2 weeks post op, they will start to settle eventually and that high profile will drop down and get into the "right" spot. You are still healing and your muscles are trying to figure out what to do with this weird thing underneath. Give yourself a couple of months before giving up on them. I too, wanted smaller implants and I did get what I asked for but I am still shocked when I see them from the side...they look huge to me but look rather small from the top and front.
User Avatar
September 21, 2015
Not just more volume by medium but if they were too broad to your frame and pockets they could have had rippling on your cleavage or bottom out. So HP in your case seems to be a wise choice of your PS. Plus as everyone else said before 2 weeks are freak'kin early to freak out! Listen to those who went through it before u! Being impatient won't take u anywhere other then nervous breakdown. So meditate or take Xanax or use some medical cannabis to relax yourself, whichever works for ya;-) so ease up! Have patience in the next few months and it's gonna be rewarded by slowly transforming into your dream boobs)
Good luck!

that's very true. I just wish I knew that that receiving HP implants in the OR was a possibility. I think I would have preferred that he went down the size of the implant, and went with 371cc rather then using HP.

too late now.

Hun as they say anything is possible during an Operation;-)
What isn't possible is waking patients during the OP to ask about their opinions. Too bad coz I really could have use that during a few OP of mine too:-/
And believe me that wrecking yourself on 29cc difference is utterly ridiculous how little that amount really is. Do you cook? Do u have a measurement cup? Water ml = cc. Na pour 30cc/ml into that cup and voilĂ  u gonna see the tininess of your situation;-)
Even if it's unbelievable now in a few months time u gonna be laughing if u think back on this weeks.

Hey :) it looks like you are two weeks post op? If so the swelling can still be quite a bit. I was a DDD week 1, DD weeks 2 & 3...and now I'm 4 weeks post op and a C. I was a B cup before surgery and received 371 cc and 304 cc implants. My implants were also still high on my chest weeks 2 and 3 and now they are lower but I still have one breast slightly higher than the other which I hope resolves soon.

It's definitely still early to make any decisions about taking them out. They really will change shape in the upcoming weeks and months! If you check out other ladies profiles including mine you will see how much different their results are in the first few days versus a few months after. I personally would trust your PS for choosing that implant, they have placed many and seen many types of bodies so if he thought your original pick looked wrong that's why he gave you HP. Not all HP look fake, it really just depends on your body and how big you go. Personally I got 337/300 and they looked so small at first! I was upset but now that I'm almost 3 months post op I'm very happy with how they look.

I am definitely feeling better about them today. I can't imagine doing the surgery again right now so I will see what happens over the next few months. Thanks for your input. Congrats on your surgery! Looks like your recovery and bra shopping are both going well :)

I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better! We're all here for you, I know the whole surgery experience can be so hard emotionally but i promise you will love them and be so glad you did it :) And if its several months later and you are absolutely miserable then you can of course make that decision if you need to.
September 21, 2015
It's the swelling. I know it's hard to comprehend just how much swelling there really is but There Really Is. And, they will shift downwards too---they always start up high. Your dr has done this procedure hundreds if not thousands of times so don't worry. You'd have problems if the implants were too wide for your frame. Remember too that the new girls will take time getting used to and even if you had gone smaller right now you'd still think they were too big. You'll have to be patient and give it some time for the swelling to disappear and to get used to your new look. Don't worry; everything will turn out fine.

Getting used to my new chest

User Avatar
forest_owl
OK. So I overreacted... I think the initial shock of having a bigger chest and the discomfort have turned me into an emotional wreck. I am feeling much better today. They are still hard and my chest and sides feel tight but I am not freaking out anymore.

I went to try some VS and Soma Bras on and I was very pleased :)

The only thing.. some veins showed up on my boobs. I hope it's just my body adjusting and that they will not be visible once I am done healing.

Thank you for all your support Ladies. It meant a lot!!!!

glad you are feeling less stressed. Im in the same boat with deciding between high and moderate plus profiles. I'm completely overwhelmed and have no idea what to do. Hope I make the right choice.

I've been reading up more about the HP since I got it. It turns out that it doesn't result in more upper pole fullness, but in a little more projection. 1.5cm so not much at all. Good luck with making your decision.

Veins are from the internal pressure. Once your muscles and skin adjust themselves they should become less visible. I'm glad to read that u came down;-)

the skin is over stretched at this stage.. the veins will become less prominent as time goes.. i had that concern also but they are getting better..in the mornings especially i am 9 weeks tomorrow from my ba, you are swollen now so putting more pressure ..it is explained here somewhere..but yes, that gets better too.. i am hoping that i don't shrink anymore at this stage for sure.

September 23, 2015
Hi! i'm having that same concern. I was actually upset that I didn't go bigger and now i'm terrified of them shrinking :(
