Too small or just right?

WORTH IT$7,000
I love the way they look from the side and from above, but straight on they look kinda stuck on with very little breast fold. What do you guys think?

I think if you give it time and allow your skin to relax and accommodate the increase in size you'll see more of the fold you're looking for :)
That's what my ps said and I put so much trust into him. He's awesome. I didn't even pick my size the second time. I just showed him some pics and he figured out the perfect size and style for me. I'm just very impatient and so picky. My ps has been so patient with me lol
I can only imagine how difficult it is to be patient. I'm still waiting for my consultation date. Plans for surgery in early Nov. Seems like it will take forever to get here :P
That's how I felt and then when I realized I went too small and it was a 6 mo wait to do a revision; it felt like an eternity. My ps has been so wonderful through it all though
Well that's wonderful to hear that you had and have had such a wonderful experience :) i can only imagine how reassuring it's been. And I can't even imagine a 6 month wait :P
I like them very sexy shape
just right
They look FABULOUS from all angles!!!!

I originally wasn't going to post anything and then I decided I had such a hard time finding gals like me, so I thought I better give it a go. I want to start with I have the most amazing PS ever! He was so patient with me and very kind and compassionate. All of his staff was AMAZING, and I mean everyone! I originally went in to him timid and nervous of going to big and I picked the 235 cc anatomical gummy bears classic style under the muscle inframammary incision, and what do you know they were too small for my liking. Most docs would have told me you'll learn to like them or we can revise for thousands more. Not my PS! He did an in office implant exchange in office with local anesthesia for not a dime. I brought him some wish pics and we decided on 370 cc anatomical gummy bears full profile with the most projection. The first time I went through surgery I was pretty pain free for the most part, just discomfort. I only took my pain meds the day of and ibuprofen the day after. I could wash my own hair day two and my limitations were only per told by my doctor i.e no lifting heavy objects, no baths etc. the second time around I was completely pain free and only took meds prior to the surgery. The only discomfort was removing textured implants since their goal is to In a sense root themselves and you can't numb the inside only the superficial skin. My second surgery was 8/6/15 and my incisions were so light my doc had a hard time finding them for my revision :)

So glad you decided to share your story with us on RealSelf! I started a forum recently for tall women with breast implants and it's definitely becoming a busy forum. Hoping you'll comment too so future members can easily find your review. So you waited about 5 months to have your revision? You look great and I can see why you prefer the larger sized implant. Congratulations!

Thanks Beth! I still kind of wonder if I should have went bigger. I'm hoping once they settle they get a more "belonging" look rather than a "stuck" on look and I develop a more defined breast fold. I'm being positive. I'm not even 3 weeks out yet
Just right. You're thin. They will settle in place and look fab not phony
Thanks! I think my pectoral muscle is just compressing the implant still.
