After breast feeding 3 children I felt my breast...

After breast feeding 3 children I felt my breast needed a lift. They were looking small and empty. I wanted a natural look- something subtle that would still look elegant under clothing, like a padded bra without the padding.
I chose a 300cc gummy bear implant under the muscle because my PS said it would give me the natural look I wanted...not so! I know I am only 2 weeks post surgery but they look huge and I feel very self-conscious. Instead of feeling more confident and enjoying showing off my new look I am hiding under baggy shirts and hoping no one notices. 100% not the outcome I sought.
At my initial consultation my PS said that most of his clients regret not going with a larger implant size and told me 300cc would be great for me- I'm wishing I had chosen the 200cc - the size I told him I liked first. A friend with a similar build to mine (I am 5'3", 110 lbs and petite 32 A) had the same procedure with the 300cc size implant and her results were fantastic. My PS told me I could expect the same result. She still looks small breasted not giant like me, I feel like I have been taken over by the implants, she on the other hand, is having the time of her life shopping for bikinis and summer dresses.
My PS and his staff told me that they will look smaller when they settle, but unless they shrink by about 40% I'm going to regret my decision. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

still too big
shona1June 7, 2013
Three weeks post op and my 300cc's still look too big and round. Thankfully they seem to be dropping and are no longer inches below my collar bones, but they still look massive. This isn't what I was hoping for.
I would love to hear stories from women who've had the same experience - did they get smaller? When? Did they get bigger?
Thanks!

Hi there! I'm so sorry to hear your unhappy at the moment with your results! You got moderate profile? Could u post a pic? I'm so interested because I think I want the 300cc but in high profile! But want a natural look so bad! Not a fake look! My BA is in 6 days!! I'm 5'3 100 pounds, 32a, an some are saying to go 325cc because u loose some under muscle ?;/ so scared to look too huge!

Hi, I just read your review - I had my follow up apt with my ps last week and I asked him why he didn't use a high profile implant with me - he said he doesn't use them at all because they never look natural - the amount of upper pole fullness simply doesn't exist in nature. So, if you want to be natural looking perhaps moderate is your best choice. You will still have great cleavage when you want it with a bra.
You and I are the same weight and height (I was also a 32a post op) I would not recommend going up to the 325cc, I know everyone says they look larger under the muscle (that is why I chose 300cc over the 270cc) but in my case, probably because I'm thin, they look big...I imagine your result will be similar.
Just curious why is your doc recommending the high profile?
Best of luck to you - I hope you will love your result and I hope that my reply is helpful.

He recommended high profile because of my BWD and my tiny narrow frame ;/ I know I have been stressing out thinking I wanted moderate plus. But because I'm so small in my chest the moderate wouldn't look right on me they wouldn't fit my in my diameter, they would hang off the side lol too much side boob. I am probably goin to do the 280-300 cc because I have nothing to start with they said I should get a good natural size since I haven't had any kids an all. Thankyou so much for your response! My BA Is tomorrow!:0

Hello!
I hope everything went well and that you are recovering nicely! I would love to hear about how you are liking your implants - did you go with the hp or mod plus?
I'm actually really disappointed with my ps for not spending time discussing different profiles with me - I am worried that my implants look too wide for my frame, I'm thinking about getting a second opinion.

Hi there! I can't express how happy I am with my implants! My recovery has been wonderful! Completely not what I expected at all!i went with HIGH PROFILE my ps had recommended that because of my BWD but however he didn't even let me try on the mod + or mod profile sizers because they simply wouldn't fit in my frame , too wide. ;( I'm so sorry your still unhappy! Your PS should've let u try the HP sizers an let you choose which u thought looked best! I left it up to my ps to decide which cc's looked best on me between 280-325. But all HP's because he did say they would be too wide on me of they were HP's. u should post some pix an ask drs the question on here. They all have different opinions but I think if your narrow like me you should get or should have got HP I was afraid they wouldn't look natural on me either I heard the Moderates looked more natural but every body type is so different it's hard to say which looks better on every size body u know? U should most definitely consult with another dr that u have heard good things about an good reviews good photos. Even if its out of state! You should be happy with your body! An If a revision is needed so be it! I wouldn't just leave them the way they are if I wasn't pleased either! :)

HI there,
Can anyone help me with this? 6 weeks post op my left breast is looking pretty good, but the right is very square on the bottom. Did anyone else have this? Will it round out?
Thanks ladies!

Hello, I will be doing surgery with dr Lawrence Tong. How was your results as of now?

Thank you for sharing your story on RealSelf! It's not uncommon to feel over the top large the first few months post op. Not only do you have swelling but your implants need to settle in and this can take 3-6 months to get final results. I did the same thing as you...ran around in big shirts for a while. It takes some time to get used to them especially when we started out with nothing. Your friend may have a different implant profile and her body frame on top might be slightly different even though some of your other stats are similar. We'd love to see a photo...even in a top! Keep us posted!
