Hello everyone,
I have not really been in the mood to update my review. Here are the reasons why:
I'm really disappointed and sad with my boobs. I feel they are still huge :( I still fit into my old bras. My left boob looks bigger than my left. I know I told the dr that I wanted to be the smallest possible but I guess he didn't get the memo.
The other reason is that my left nipple was cut to size to match my right nipple. My right nipple is round and the left looks like the shape drop. Makes me feel that nobody cared to do it right. I know it's just a nipple but it still sucks.
I just feel that is sucks to not be happy with my results. I don't know if im still swollen but I feel sad and unhappy. I really thought having the surgery would make me feel happy with my body but it's not the case.
I'm posting pics with the same bra of my initial pics so you can see.
Please give me your feedback. I would really like to know what you girls think.

Hello everyone. Sorry I haven't been really active on here but ive super busy with getting my life to normal. I went back to work and I'm finally driving.
Ok so on Friday was my 3 week since the surgery and on Saturday I had my stitches and tapes taken out. The doctor said everything was looking great and he told me to keep up what I had been doing.
But when I seen my boobs I got so sad because of all the cuts and my boobs looked to weird, it might sound dumb but I expect them to look like that I pictures them to look nice.
I felt that my Right boob looked deformed and my left nipple was so ugly. I showed my sister and started crying and she looked at my boobs and she said she didn't see anything wrong and that they had to adjust and that this wasn't the final product. She also said " your boobs weren't perfect before and they won't be now. Nobody has a perfect body you look great" and then I felt better but it has been an emotional roller coaster for me these past few days. ive felt so sad thinking if i made the right decision and if going through this was even worth it.
Ladies please take care of yourself mentally during this process of physically healing. Surround yourself with great of people and things that make you happy. It's been really tough.

Hi. I'm sorry to hear about your disappoint but I totally relate. I'm almost 4 weeks post-op and wanted to be between a B and C. When I looked at my new boobs there was hardly anything there! PS made me a regular B which is too small! I've been trying to stay positive but some days are better than others. I miss my fullness and cleavage. Just had my second post-op appointment today and my PS apologized for not giving me a good result. She's really nice and there's nothing that can be done now so I'm trying my hardest to simply adjust to my too small boobs. It's also hard to hear from so many women who are happy with their results. I know I'm in the minority but just thought I'd let you know that you are not alone. That being said, you at least have full womanly breasts. Hope you start feeling better!

I'm really upset with the way one nipple looks but I'm trying to adjust mind and see the good in things.
On the bright side I don't have to feel self conscious with my huge boobs. I can wear cute clothes. I made a list and the pros are more than the cons. BUT it still really sucks to not be completely happy with the results. I pray for things to adjust but I don't know if they will but I'm also trying to change and accept.
You don't have pics up but I'm sure you look beautiful. I wish my dr would have gone smaller on me but what's done is done.
I'm happy for everyone with great results I just wish I could be just as happy. I don't regret the surgery but i wish with all I'm going through things would be better.
I hope you feel better, take care of yourself mentally. My co worker had a botched boob job and she redid them a few months ago and her advice has been amazing.
when was your surgery? This Friday will be 4 weeks for me. We might be surgery twins :) i

I wish mine were smaller. I feel like they are still too big. I know it is not exactly the same, but I can relate a little. Hope you start feeling better soon.

I think they have a great shape! You look really good. I have been having some mental trauma with my new breasts too - a lot of doubt, picking out flaws, etc. It is hard to adjust. I think you need to wait until you're healed and healthy - mentally and physically. Keep you chin up! ❤️

Hello girls,
Just checking in with what's been going on this week.
I came back to my apartment from my parents Friday night and felt so much more comfy being in my own bed, couch and space.
Also I went back to work on Monday and I felt to tired. I have an office desk job, nothing to hard but I felt so tired after 2 hours of being there and by half of my 8 hour shift I was ready for a nap lol I felt so much tension on my upper back and shoulders.
Tuesday was no different and on yesterday (wends) my boss sent me home and said he knew I didn't feel good and that he preferred me getting better than being in the office and Prolonging my recovery. He said to rest and to let him know Sunday night how I felt and we would from there.
Also I bought 2 new bras one from Amazon carefix "Bella" and a champion sports bra from target. They both still rub my bottom incisions but are a lot more comfortable than the surgical bra the doc gave me, that bra was hell on earth.
On Monday might I noticed my left boob dropped a little and is less swollen, my right boob is so stubborn, still swollen all around. I'm still achey and swollen but I feel like each day I get better.

Congrats on finally feeling better :)
I love your logic and I admire your courage because this is far from easy.
Im 30 so my biological clock is ticking lol and well realistically I know I will have to have children in the next 5 years or so.
You know I haven't even thought of any other way to get around having a surgery to reduce. there might be a way but I haven't even brought anything up to my Dr but then I don't know if I would want to go back to him. I don't know its a tough situation. I keep wishing and praying for a miracle and that Im just really still very swollen.
I used my original surgeon the second time but that's only because they waived the fee completely. Since I'm about to start school (with no more salary for a while), it really didn't make sense for me to go to another surgeon and have to pay like $8k instead (insurance didn't cover my initial surgery nor would it have covered the revision - frustrating because it would have covered the costs completely had she taken out enough the first time.
I honestly didn't trust her completely the second time (not for safety reasons, purely for size reasons) and would have gone with a different doctor if not for the money issue.
It's definitely worth asking for second opinions and whether or not they can do something less invasive. Where I live, most surgeons offer free consultations so going around shouldn't cost you anything. My surgeon specifically said she wanted me under general anesthesia just for her preferences so that there's no wiggling and I agreed since I wasn't paying for it, but perhaps some surgeons would have done mine under local since she didn't even take out that much the second time, it's just that she made them less wide so they look a lot smaller now.
