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 :(

After seeing my PS
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.

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!
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.

September 21, 2015
Your comment made my day :) I can't wait for week 4 and for the upper fullness to go away. Congrats on your surgery!

September 22, 2015
Yw!! I'm glad I could help. I'm at week 4 and my breasts are softening up and getting jiggly haha!

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.

September 21, 2015
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 :)

September 22, 2015
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.

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
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.

September 23, 2015
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;-)

Thanks! That's good to know because mine are veiny too!


September 23, 2015
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 :(
