Right after surgery I loved my boobs and couldn't wait for them to drop. Now they have dropped I feel like they are the same as before surgery. I feel like the only difference is bigger saggy boobs now. I wanted a lift only if necessary the Dr said I did not need it so I went with his advice. I wanted big fake looking perky boobs. I got natural saggy boobs. I'm happy they are full and not deflated any longer but that is all. I wanted to redo it. Nope not in my finances. I don't come on here often because I'm that unhappy. I miss following the updates so many women look so great afterwards. I wish I could afford to go back but not right now. However healing went great. They are soft as real boobs. The look natural.

It's so nice to see an update from you! They do look very beautiful and natural. I wish, however, that you received what you really wanted. I'm so sorry that you are not happy with them and the cost of trying again is too much of a financial burden. It really does stink that your outcome wasn't a happier one. I wish you much joy and happiness, sweetie. xoxo

Thank you. It's been forever since I have been on here. I do miss all the updates it just bothered me to see so many beautiful outcomes and me feeling like why didn't mine look that good. I know that as more time passes I will eventually either finance the surgery or become happy one.

I understand about not wanting to visit Realself. It is very hard not to compare your own results to others even if you do have a good result. I'm sure it so much harder if you are unhappy with your outcome. I loved Boobiliciousmama's response. That is a great way of looking at it.

Take a look at my profile, I too had saggy boobs, my doc said in order to not do a lift he'd have to go with UHP and a bigger implant to fill the space. If I wanted the high perky I would need a lift, but with time, weight and gravity, I'd end up saggy anyways. Just find young girls with implants and what their breasts look like years down the road - saggy. Don't be upset, just think that if you had a lift you'd have big scars on your breasts and either way with time become saggy. Can't get away from it.

Mine are not perky, they are full and suit me, I'm very happy and very glad I didn't go for a lift.

Hey there.... I know you're disappointed but in Dr. Diaco's defense, he doesn't even know you're unhappy. I would contact him and let him know how you feel. Even though you can't afford a revision right now, maybe he will cut you a deal later down the road when you have the extra funds. All I'm saying is, he can't fix the problem if he doesn't even know there is a problem. He is a reasonable guy and all surgeons want their patients to be happy. I would reach out to him.

Also, regarding boob sagging anyway, you're right Boobilicious ..... they do ... but at least in the meantime until they do, we should be happy with the. Getting a lift was totally worth the scars. Dr. Diaco is a skilled surgeon so my scars are minimal and are healing nicely. There are products and procedures you can do to minimize the appearance of the scars also.

I guess it's a matter of preference. Have nice high, perky boobs and a few scars, or no scars but have bigger, saggy boobs. I took my chances with the scars. Call him go in for a follow up. You haven't been in there in a while...

You're correct he doesn't know but I haven't told him because I moved so far away. I kind of felt like if I do the revision, ever, I would have to go some where else only because his office is too far to keep up with the appointments. Otherwise I would have told him as soon as I started feeling unhappy. The scar with the procedure for the lift and having perky boobs well I know based on my scars he does remarkable work with keeping minimal scaring and that wasn't my issue at all. I feel some people choose scar or no scar based on their own self needs. I'm not 100% unhappy Actually I can't even put a percent on how unhappy versus happy I am with it. That's my biggest issue. I wanted a specific look got another look. Yet still not hating it just not in love with it. I am still glad I did it I'd rather have full saggy boobs than my deflated ones any day.

Yep... getting a lift and dealing with the scars is definitely a matter of preference ... but I totally get why you're not loving them. They had a vision in mind. I totally get it because I'm in the same boat. But in the meantime until you can get in somewhere for a lift, you're making the best of it. I love that about you! They definitely are better full than deflated! I'm happy you are able to find the good in them and the things about them that DO make you happy! Keep us posted if you schedule anything in the future!

Nice to see a post from you!! I'm really sorry you're feeling that way :( You do look amazing and very natural.. I personally prefer the natural look but I understand that was not your preference and you didn't get what you wanted or your "wish boobs" You do look beautiful but you have to be the one to love them. I hope that in the future you will be able to get a revision.. good luck! xoxoxo

thank you so much. I am definitely needing to get on here more so I can follow everyone's updates like before. I think my first step is making that appointment to discuss the revision so I know what I'm looking at potentially. Cost and if the look I desire is achievable. I just don't want to schedule until I'm so unhappy that I just do it. Right now it's not what I wanted sort of say but it's not horrible either. I am very glad I did this. I also feel like this is a good size if I work harder on a diet maybe it will look even better on me. Hope all is well. I'm heading on over to see any updates.

I think that's a good idea, you can go to a few consults for now (most are free) and maybe find some advice or at least get options and a quote to see how much a revision would cost.. if you're happy with size maybe you just need the lift or they can use the same implants. Good luck to you and keep me posted on your next decision.. Xoxo

They look waay better than before! They do look natural but I understand that's not what you wanted. I personally like the rounded look better as well and I even think I should have gone bigger. I hope as time goes on you'll feel better about them. Take comfort though that they really do look great!

Hi I think your breasts look great. I just wanted to ask about your tattoo as its very similar to what I want to have done in the same area. Tell me did it really hurt having it done in such a sensitive place ? cheers :-)

Haha good question. I have a high pain tolerance and 6 tats including top of foot lower back shoulder blade finger leg and this one on side and of all them this was the only one that hurt. I vowed to never add to it like I wanted to because the pain was that bad for me. Now my cousin got her side and said it did not bother her at all. She claimed her foot was the worse one. I guess it's different for everyone. The tat is special as its my three older kids birth flowers and birth stone colors and I wanted to add my fourth kid but she got my foot as I refused to add after it was done lol.

Thanks and I'd go get what you want as far as a tat goes like anything else everyone's experience is different. Good luck with boobies! I was nervous and excited also. I still don't believe they are fake I feel like nothing has changed much even adding 475cc.

So I'm 3 months 3 weeks 3 days since my surgery. My boobs are very soft, very squishy, and round. They look great for the natural look but that was not what I wanted. I wanted the high round look. They are not high at all. I'm now considering a lift even though I'm not sure if it will help me with the look I really wanted. I could kick myself because I may never have that kind of money to redo surgery to go "bigger"! I knew the look I wanted, expressed it very well, and yet allowed the Dr to talk me into what he thought would be best. It's not the look I wanted though. I had really liked them about 2 months after but they seem to settle more and more and to me look saggy. The look I wanted to do away with. Now I'm full and saggy. Maybe they won't settle any more. I did end up a DDD from a D so they are bigger but really if you saw them in person you'd never know they were fake. They look natural. I will still always have to wear a bra for that push up cleavage effect. ????

I think you look great, very natural but that's what I prefer...I don't care for the fake look. If you want them higher and rounder, yes I think you would need to do the lift. Good luck and keep us posted with what you decide! :-)

Hey stranger! I wondered what happened to you after your bold move. I hope you are doing well and everyone is adjusting. I was going to text you but didn't want to pry or intrude.

They do look very natural, round and symmetrical, but I feel you regarding the look you were trying to achieve. It can be discouraging but hang in there. They do still look great! But I thought you got HP???? Did you get Mod Profile Plus like me? I know he does say that like 99% of the time he uses Mod Profile Plus.

I did get a lift, as you know. Mine need a little tweaking yet. I'm happy with the size but not the shape at all. But when I've completely healed in a month or so, he's going to fix them. Both sides the pockets need work and then for whatever reason, my areola are cone shaped now...puffy... and that drives me crazy. My breasts don't have that nice round shape mostly due to my areola. I can't wait to get them fixed.

Are you going to consult with him regarding a lift, or with another surgeon? Keep us posted!

Hey!!!!!! You can text anytime! I did get HP they don't look it though. I should have got Ultra HP I think for more upper pole. Either way I do not hate hate hate them in just not looking at them very often like mmmmm........ nice. I mostly look at them and think man I don't look like I had any surgery at all ever.

I love it here! If you do decide to make the move be sure to let me know! I'll text you over the weekend for sure. I still have your number in my phone.

I thought you got HP. Just goes to show you that implants really do look different on everyone. That's why it's hard for us, as patients, to walk in and tell them what we want...we can only show them a pic and hope they understand.

I don't look at mine very often either. Unless they are in a sports bra! But naked?? Uhgggg.... Just anxiously awaiting the day I can actually schedule the revision so I have something to look forward to.

Try and enjoy them as much as you can!! They do look great!

In a sport bra they look smaller all compressed in. I'm trying so hard to enjoy them. They do look good naked in clothes I see no difference now than before. The difference is naked for me. When clothes come off they look good even though not the upper pole I wanted. Before naked they were deflated now full. That seems to be my only difference. I think he did good work for the natural look though I wanted more fake look.

Hi I have been following you quitely. I have mine done with the same Dr. A week after you. I pretty much look just like your before picture. I was C or D cup. I told him many times that I want lifted look but you know how he is, he does not listen what we want. My result in 3 months is just like yours. More valume , round but saggy. I have to wear bra to push it up to get a upper fullness. They are not firm or near perky. I am so depressed looking at them I did not even scheduled my appt. yet. Yes overall they look natural but that is not what I wanted. I asked him to remove some loose skin I do not care about having scars but he didd lipo instead but lipo does not give you that perky firm look. I hate them everyday because they do not not have the look I wanted.

Oh my gosh! That is crazy! I knew there must be an issue beyond just my personal thoughts. I'm so sorry you feel exactly as I do. You explained just how I feel. They are just fuller saggy boobs. I got the lipo and said I did not care if I had scars just wanted perky. I was thrilled when he said lipo would achieve the look I wanted and I did not need a lift. I spent so much I may never have it again. I wanted a certain look and did not get it. I would have much rather had scars than saggy breast after.

He just says they look great! Nothing much except that. He said I can go under again after 6 months but I can't afford that cost.

Personally, I've never considered implants, before I saw your pics. I want no part of looking fake! But breastfeeding has left me a little deflated and my kids are now grown, so I was thinking of tweaking my appearance and boom I saw your pics! LOVE LOVE the fullness and "natural" look of them. If I had a surgeon that could do that for me, I'd be on it! Congrats on your results, I wouldn't change a thing if I were you! :)
