Wow, I can't believe how much boobs change while settling after a BA!
I feel like I have gone thru so much with these things, from having super franken boobs when I was in early post op, to getting a horrible itchy rash when my internal stitches dissolved to now, having to get them redone.
I definitely agree with what other girls have said on here and that's to have patience. There were a lot of dresses and tops that I donated thinking my boobs were too big and wouldn't fit into them anymore but turned out they just weren't settled enough. Now I can fit into a lot of tops that I hadn't gotten around to giving away and thank goodness for having higher priorities, otherwise I'd have barren wasteland for a closet. Even at 3 mo. I still was t footing as well into my clothes.
Makes shopping really hard too bcuz the first thing I wanted to do was start buying clothes and see how I looked in them.
Anyway, I just wanted to post these to show how much things can change.

Revision scheduled.
Hailey27October 10, 2016
Going to be downsizing the girls and might be changing the profile as well.
Deciding between 350R/375L or 375R/400L 400R/425L. Not sure about whether I need moderate profile or high profile.

good luck with everything! I was told to make a difference in cup size it needs to be anywhere from 150-200cc if your goal is to go down by 1. also, the moderate plus profile I really like, I have that, and it helped to make my boobs come in a little more, the surgeon can manipulate to a certain degree the cleavage, I didn't want too much but they definitely can be pushed together very well in a push up bra. what brand are you going with and do you know your BWD?

Hi Yelhsa0606
Main goal is to get my nipple centered and my PS said he thinks that will take 100-150ccs less than I have now. I think I'm leaning most towards 375/400 and I have been thinking about asking for moderate plus. Unfortunately I don't know my BWD (breast width diameter?) but if you have any helpful links that show you how to measure I would love to know, I'm wondering if the reason my breasts didn't settle is because the implant is too wide....so hard to know and my PS won't know for sure until he can examine them in person.

I'm curious about your pain level after the revision! I'm 3 months out, and my breasts are still sore & tender, but I also had a donut lift and small implant. One areola is not pretty, so may do a revision there, but afraid of the pain and sensitivity all over again.

Hi Carina 8353
I was curious about my recovery this time around as well. I asked my PS and he said it's almost like getting your hair done LOL, especially if going smaller. Since the skin doesn't have to stretch and my pectoral muscles are already relaxed around the implant now Im hoping I can be up and moving with in a few days. At 5 mo post right now and my nipple sensitivity has not gone back to normal since getting my BA:( really sucks cuz they used to feel really good but now the just hurt if played with. I want to get a Areola reduction one day after I have kids but I'm nervous that I will loose all feeling entirely, I'll update and let everyone know how this 2nd time goes and what the nerve pain is like.

What size are you right now?
October 11, 2016
Hi Beth15
Right now I am Victoria's Secret sized at 32DDD. My pre op size was 32C/B. The implants I have specifically are 500R/550L cc's, silicone, high profile Allergen natrelles, under the muscle.
October 12, 2016
I was a 32B too. If I could, I'd like to be 32D size not 34DD. What CC do you think you'll drop down to?
October 12, 2016
good luck on the redo - I'm sure everything will work out. On the size, guess that depends on how much "downsizing" you want to do :-).
October 12, 2016
Thanks everyone! I've been buried in boobies photos and sizing charts again. I think I've almost got my mind made up.... almost haha

It's official I got the okay from PS for a revision, going to downsize these sweater puppies.
Hailey27October 4, 2016
It's been a back and forth up and down boob journey for me. Ive been emailing with my PS about how my breasts haven't settle right and today it was finally confirmed that I will need to go back in for a revision.
I encountered a complication due to to large of implants used. Apparently, if the implant is too big the nipples have a possibility of being low on the breast mound. I'm a little bummed that I'm having to redo this since I let my surgeon pick the size and I said it was okay to go smaller than what he put in me, but It is all at no cost to me and that I feel better about.
Plus, I struggled with my implant size from the beginning, feeling that they were too big for me, so now that I have to go smaller it's not a crushing verdict. However, I think that if they would have settled correctly I would have really loved them. For the most part I'm used to this size now but I will be happier with smaller implants, these are just a cup size too big for my liking .
I won't be able to schedule an apt until January at some point.

Congrats! Very good on him for not charging you for the revision. Did he say if he would do a crease incision again or if you will need a lift?
October 5, 2016
good luck with your 2nd surgery! mine were low beforehand so I knew I wasn't going to get much of a lifting effect but do you feel like your haven't dropped all the way, I was told once they do there would be more fullness behind the nipple which would kind of raise them a bit
October 11, 2016
That's great! I'm in the same boat....I wish I would have gone a bit smaller. I'm hoping I can find a minimizing bra, and learn to dress them. I just feel so top heavy and things don't fit right anymore....I'm tired of feeling so wide up top.
October 11, 2016
I know how you're feeling all too well. Mine were still finding there way until about 4.5months post. The changes were subtle for the last 2.5 months but they were changing all the same. I think they seem the largest in that in between stage (for me that was 7 weeks) cuz they seem settled but in reality are still higher than how clothes are tailored making everything fit Rutgers and awkward in the chest. I could wear my clothes better (even a few things I thought were too small) at 4 mo post then 3 for sure.... and I can only think it's bcuz they settle more. I also notice my cleavage came together a lot better once my skin stretched and pec muscles relaxed. Now in the right bra, they will touch! Don't throw away any clothes until 6 months (rip cute dresses and tops I dontated) cuz you never know if you will end up being able to fit in them:)
October 12, 2016
Ok. Thank you for sharing that. I'm exactly 4 weeks post-op today. I guess there is still time for them to settle and not be quite so big. I don't hate them, I'm just adjusting. They are definitely additions to my body. I'm trying to figure out how to dress with them, support them, make them look decent without looking like I'm going to fall over. I like support, but I'm not the type of girl who wants to be known as Boobs McGee.
If anything, I'll be wearing sports bra. lol
October 12, 2016
Ya I didn't realize that it's not just a physical adjustment it's a psychological one too. And the mental was a lot harder than the physical healing for me. I'll post some comparison pics on here, it's crazy how much they changed from 5 weeks to now. Everyone says wait 6 mo. Before judging too much of anything, easier said than done!
October 13, 2016
That is so true. I was just looking on Pinterest at all these cute Fall outfits with big sweaters and skinny jeans, and I am thinking there is no way I could wear that. I would look like a broad side of a barn up top with 2 toothpicks sticking out the bottom. lol
Thanks for sharing your pics....I should probably update mine. My results so far are perfect, I can't justify going back under the knife. but when the time comes, I am definitely going smaller.
