Upsizing and revision questions

Ozzyasian · 07-08-2009, 11:55 AM

OK its 2am here in aussie so i think i mite kill the curiosity bird before i hit the sack. Im 1 month post op today and am a little down about the size. I havent made any decisions because it still early days. I was just wanting to know a few things about "upsizing" the cc's of implants...

SOoOOoo...

1. Did it cost significantly more or less than your 1st breast augmentation?

2. Did you have to stay in hospital for a longer period and was the pain any more or less than initial surgery?

3. How was the recovery? Did it take longer or shorter than previous surgery?

4. When did you decide to upsize? When is it suggested is the earliest time your body can physically handle another surgery after healing for bigger implants?

Im a little concerned too because my breasts are still uneven. I thought it was normal until i mentioned this to my doctor. He was a little concerned and is having me go for an ultrasound of my new boobies. Suspecting CC i think! >.< not good!!!

Ok.. I think i mite leave the questions at that for now.. and go to bed! Thanks in advance ladies! *hugs*

GOOD QUESTIONS! I'm not thrilled with my size either. booby greed of course! I think I've heard that the recovery is easier the second time, because the muscle and skin has already been stretched somewhat. I guess it would depend on how much bigger you went. But I'm sure someone who has been through it can give you a better answer. I'm curious to see what everyone has to say!

I had my surgery yesterday, and my boobs look to be a perfect size right now. (full C or D) If they lose too much volume after the swelling goes down, I'll want a biger implant put in this winter, so I'll be ready for swim season next year.
It sucks I cant go swimming. It's so hot here and my pool is calling to me!

I'm in a lot of pain right now, the swelling is clear up to my clavicle too. I sure hope a second surgery would be less painful. This sucks.
