Well it has been about 1 1/2 years and had a consultation for downsizing. Right now I have 375 hp and I feel too big. I think I would go to moderate profile and 265cc.

Hi, l just read your entire story and I totally understand. I recently had a revision (breast lift with implant exc to downsize from 400 cc to 215). I'm one month postop and I couldn't be happier. Good luck with your revision. I look forward to following your journey.

So it has been a while! I have to say I have been afhusting to the implants and have not had HATE days in a while. I do feel they have gone through more changes and for the better. I now feel comfortable it in some of my summer dresses which I didn't when I was 3 months post.
It takes a lot to get used to having implants and I feel that when I get to my one year mark I we'll before confident in wearing tight tops again.
Hope every one is doing well! And for the girls who just had surgery reading this, alwYs keep I mind that everything takes TIME!!!!

Glad you are feeling so much better! Yay!! It sometimes takes a while to adapt, and when you do, you'll feel so comfy and often forget having them -- they become a part of you! Thanks for the happy update! xoxo

So happy to read this update! It's great that you are feeling better about everything :). I never disliked mine, but found that I grew to like them more and more as time went on. Seems like you are experiencing the same :)

Love hate relationship with implants

I am not liking the way I feel. Sometimes I wish I went smaller at least 50cc's. Idk.. I just went under explant reviews and was reading some of the stories and was thinking maybe in 5 years I would like to get mine removed.
I wonder if I would be feeling this way if I had gone smaller. I don't like wearing a DD bra.
But then there are days that I do like them, I don't like to wear tight clothes as much with the implants but now that fall is around the corner I think I will feel my best with wearing sweatshirts and t-shirts and not tank tops.
I loved the way I looked and felt before they dropped and fluffed. I spent 10k to have them so I am not going to do anything for a while. I just secretly don't like them. I have not told anyone because I don't want to hear you shouldn't have don't it or the opposite you look great! I might look good, it's the way I feel sometimes bothers me. I so wish I spent more time with smaller implants when I was trying on the sizers.
I removed my pictures for a couple reasons 1 my husband didn't want them on Internet. And 2 I am starting to not like them. I did feel a little better once I removed them.
I hope I can come to a better place with liking them, but like I said before after all the money I spent I am not going to let that go to waste. I hope my feelings will change. I just don't know anymore.

hey, I relate it it a lot. $ years after my BA i discovered silly bras that helped me accept my implants, today...I am deformed. Try to accept them, or remove them but don't choose to hate them!

Thank you! I didn't think I was the only one who feels this way.

I have a love hate relationship with mine atm, coming up 4 months po. They still don't feel quite a part of me and now that they have dropped they look a bit flat & the scars bother me, I can't find a decent bra they are still tender & I can't hold my kids without wincing when they move in my arms, sleeping on them hurts...the list goes on. I think the only thing thats saving me atm is I know that its still very early & so many girls say that it takes a full 12 months to settle & for them to feel really natural.
Maybe just try & forget about them for a while & wait it out & see how you feel in another 6 months? There are also lots of great minimising bras around, maybe you could try those on with some fitted clothes to see if you won't feel so self conscious?

Im in the same boat. I wish I had gone with 200cc, but... I had complication with surgery, and spent 12 grand, so I can't justify going through that all over again this soon.
This last month, for whatever reason I packed on 4 pounds- it made my breasts look better proportioned (smaller), but I hate the extra on my hips. I still have moments of 'too big' quite often. But then I think to myself: If I had gone smaller- would I still wear padded bras from time to time?

I have stayed off the Internet since I made that post and as of today I am feeling more comfortable with them.
I try not to focus on them too much, like being obsessed about them and it has helped me a lot. I actually have not had any "hate" days in a while.

Hi Jacd, it is so GOOD to hear you say you've not had any hate days in a while. I'm very, very happy for you. I pray you continue to have no hate days again, ever. Have a happy Labor Day weekend and enjoy your beautiful breasts! xoxo
