I just have to say this is the best info site I've ever found!! I'm so thankful I have found all of you. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. I was a saggy c cup after having my two amazing kids. I wasn't happy with my body one bit. My breasts were so gross! I couldn't stand looking at them. I'm in the best relationship right now but couldn't even feel comfortable naked around my boyfriend. I was so self conscious of myself. I wore a tank top everyday because my saggy boobs would always be sneaking out of my bra and I would have to tuck those things back it. So annoying. I finally saved up enough money to fix those saggy things. It cost 10,000!! I didn't think it would cost that much but I didn't care because I couldn't stand it any longer. My doctor told me he would have to cut a lot of the dead loose skin off and then he would figure out what implant he would put in. There were 3 sizes, 275cc, 300cc and 325cc. I wanted the 300cc because I didn't want to be too small. I wanted to look good but not too fake. When I woke up from surgery the doctor told me he used the 275cc. I was kinda bummed. I can't really tell what I'm gonna look like but right now I don't really care because I'm NOT sagging to the damn floor! :) im not too sore right now besides my back. It is killing me. I'm trying to get off the meds cause I hate feeling lazy. My stomach is also hurting and feels so bloated! Omg it really bothers me sometimes. Not sure what to do about that......... I feel like I'm 5months pregnant! I'm not but it feels like it and looks like it. I can't wait for that to go away. My pain the first couple days was around a 7. I asked for stronger pain killers and holy cow he gave me some stuff that knocked me out! I liked it cause no pain but hated it cause I coukdnt even keep my eyes open. I'm trying to move around more now. I should take it easy but I'm too ADD or something.

Hon, you will be bloated for a little bit. I was too, and I hated it. But the good news is that it goes away.

I'm not happy and I'm not sure what to do!???

I'm not happy and I'm not sure what to do. Both of my breasts and different! My left one is still a little tender and its bigger and the bottom looks great. My right one isn't tender at all and the bottom looks terrible and the scar is way worse and shows so much. What do I do??! My doctor said they will turn out just fine as soon as my left boob isn't swollen. I like my left one tho!! I hate my right one:( what do I do? Can the doctor fix it?? I paid $10,000! I've worked so hard to save my money and I'm disappointed and sad:( I'm happy they aren't sagging to the floor but now they look so different but pirky.....:(

I'm kind of in the same boat as you right now. But I haven't talked to my doctor about my concerns yet. After looking at tons of other posts, every doctor says that after so many months of waiting everything changes drastically. I'm sure you've read that tons of times too. My breasts are pretty tender too after 3.5 weeks. I hope the tenderness will go away soon. I'm moving in slow motion in everything I do and have no energy. But we have to keep our heads up and hope everything will turn out right in the end. We can do it! Right now it's just a waiting game.

Thanks for responding. yeah I know it's a waiting game but I don't like waiting! Haha:) I just really hope they turn out right. I'm just worried cause I don't want to go through it again.

So ladies .. It is now June 9th .. How are u feeling about them now ? I'm considering getting this done ..

I hope things got better for you! You just showed up in my news feed so it's been a while since you're post and hopefully both boobs dropped into position. Also for the scar, have you tried silicone scar pads? You can get them at CVS, Walgreens, and Target. They are a little spendy but from what I hear, totally worth it. I wear them all day, wash them and dry them for a couple hours in the evening and then put them back on. Good luck! Oh I got 275cc too. So far, they are the perfect size. I'm short but they are big enough haha!

I'm 5 months post op and having some issues myself, implants are majorly bottoming out.

I thought I would be stuck with my results and that it was just ME and my body. But I just asked the doctors here on Real Self and 5 doctors have responded within 24 hours, they gave me a lot of info on my "condition" reassuring me that I have legitimate concerns and what I needed to do to be comfortable. That being a revision with pocket resizing. So I've contacted my surgeon and feel much better about asking for help. I recommend doing the same. Ask the doctors here! Give them before photos along with after photos so they can help you better. Good luck to you!
