Unhappy with Breast Augmentation Revision, I Made the Wrong Decision Again :(

ORIGINAL POST

I had my first breast augmentation about 7 years...

$6,000
I had my first breast augmentation about 7 years ago, at the age 21. As puberty missed out on my boobies, I just wanted to finally be able to wear a bra, not knowing what size I really wanted or what would look good on me. I have a rather small back with 125 lbs, 5'7 tall, but big thighs and butt. As I was still self-conscious about my body, I was afraid to go as big as I really wanted to. I didn't want my friends or my family to notice and make fun of me for the fact of being self-conscious. Stupid little girl. So, I went for Mentor teardrop implants, 275 cc.
Wrong decision.
As soon as I got out of the operating room, I was devastated about the size of my new assets. It was a small B. Really not, what I wanted.
I went through some very rough times after that surgery. I just couldn't get over the fact that I spent all my money on something that did not make me look or feel any better. Ever since then, it has been my goal to finally get my boobs redone again so that I achieve the look I really want.
7 years later, I was finally able to come up with the amount of money to get a revision done. In the meanwhile, I consulted about 10 surgeons all over the country. I wanted to make sure that this time I would be happy with the results.
So I went for 505 cc, round, High Profile silicone implants last week. And all I can say is: I'm not happy with the results AGAIN. I wanted a really full, busty look, but I still look flat. I tried on some bras and 36B fits perfectly. I definitely got some more upper fullness now, as I switched from teardrop to round implants. But I was expecting a huge change. However, I still look the same. I told 2 friends about the surgery and they can't tell a difference.
I feel like I made the wrong decision again, 505 cc doesn't give me the look I desired. Now, when I go through pictures of BA online, 600-700 or even 800 cc would have been the better choice. I been crying for the past 3 days, ever since I got out of the hospital. It's just a nightmare to realize that I have to go through all this AGAIN. Plus, I don't know how I will afford a third BA with all my loans & debts.

I'm in the same boat. The good news is one day you will have enough money, my other point is your results will be even better than going up huge 800cc to start with ( which is almost impossible) think of it as staging. ( I wish I could be so wise when it came to my own body lol) next time show your PS pictures of your desired look ..they can do the rest and decided on cc size.
*decide
Going up over 200cc should have made you gone up at least one cup size, minimum. How can you still be a B cup? Have you spoken to your PS about it?
You said you just had your surgery a week ago. Your breast size are going to change 3 more times in the next 6 months. Please give your body some time to adjust to the new implants. Can you show your before and after pics.
Omg! I'm so sorry that you are going through this!! I feel your pain bc I went too small with my BA and started out flat and with 325/350cc I'm barely a mix B cup and out a lot of $$$. I wonder if your implants still need to drop and fluff. 500+ is a big implant so I'm surprised. My doc said that I could only go to 480cc for a revision so I'm worried that they will still be too small!
Hang in there girl!! If you need someone to talk to who understands, pls message me. :::hugs::::
What size are u measuring now?
As far as I know 200cc gives the noticeable change by one cup.
Im my opinion...when girls go too big for their body..their boobs end up looking like...well, not even boobs...just big baskets balls. But I do realise many women like this look. I will not understand why. I think, even without seeing pics of you...that you wld look so nice with your current size...but I understand the frustration of not getting the look u desire. Believe me..im going again. .hopefully
, maybe...in a year or so. ..prob only 300cc ..i wish I all tbe best...and one more thing..please juzt be happy that I have no complications...I will pot soon..pics of my cap contracture..errrr hhorrible. .
I meant...be happy that u have no complications....not me! Lol
