These aren't cutting it!

candy rae · 07-10-2009, 03:15 AM

Okay I know its too early to judge my FINAL size but, it's been 3 weeks since my surgery and my boobs are not as big as i hoped. I got 325cc which gave me a C. I am extremely frustrated that I didnt go for a D or small DD even. I though a C would be really big on my frame but, I guess it just sounded big and scary to me because after seeing how small a C is on my body, I REALLY want to make a significant size improvement- like a cup or 2. I go in a couple weeks to talk to my PS about a redo. I am 100% positive that I will redo them. Whats the longest I will have to wait? Ive heard a girl say she waited 7 weeks and I've heard 7 months. If i HAVE to wait months, I wanna know why and I hope its a good reason. I KNOW i want a big size change and letting them "d & f" isn't going to give me the big difference that I want. I know some people claim that after months of "d & f" they got so much bigger BUT I did (stupidly) ask for a C so they arent going to grow 2 cup sizes! This was supposed to be the best thing to happen to me and I've looked forward to it for 5 yrs...now i feel WORSE than I did when I had no boobs!!! I get so frustrated and upset that its hard to do regular activities and I am getting all teared up as I type this to you ladies! Please help with suggestions on what to do. If my doc tells me to wait cause I might change my mind, i will explode! If he has some good medical reasons why I must wait, I will try to cope. I just am DEAD serious about redoing them and will do pretty much anything for this guy to redo them as soon as he thinks its okay. Do all doctors have different feelings on how long to wait? Please let me know how long you waited and your doctors reasoning behind making you wait

thannnnnnnk you!

OMG honey.. ur not in this alone.. I totally am fustrated with my result now. I got 300cc mod profile implants and its just not cutting it for me either. I thought C cups would be ok on my frame, but its bothering me so bad because the size is just too small. I thought itd make my hips look smaller, when in fact, my hips are still wider than my tits.. I HATE IT! i have cried a few times in fustration and have at times blamed my partner for wanting me to be conservative and going for the "natural" look... now i jsut kick myself in the mirror everyday for not doing what i intially wanted I started a thread about questions for redo's too but have not had much of a response. I asked my doctor about redo's and its going to cost the same if not more, than my initial breast augmentation.

Im so depressed at times too, but its too late now. Im just upset that i didnt get it right the first time, and now im going to be out of pocket if i want to do them AGAIN. ANd i agree with u too, after a drop and fluff... my boobs still wont be the way i wanted them. I wanted them to be more round, and to hang over my crease like big boobies do.. Now theyre just a slightly bigger and perkier version of wat i had before... ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Im one month post op, and im so cut because no one has even noticed that I had a breast augmentation... i dont want pamela anderson boobies.. But i did want something more noticeable then the teeny titties i have now. I find that i get more sad when i hop on here too because so many girls have nice boobies >.<

I FEEL U!!!! I really hope u work this out too

*hugs*

{{Hugs}} I can understand your frustration and disappointment, but you and Chloe both look amazing! For your own well being try to focus on what you love about your new boobies...they have to be better than where you came from right? You have a lot of time, money, and emotion invested in them, but try not to obsess too much. Give it some time...save money for a re-do, and enjoy! You both really do look lovely! I wish you both well!

Ozzyasian · 07-10-2009, 11:02 AM

To be honest.. U are SO RIGHT! Lol All i have been doing since I had this surgery was to pick everything negative about my boobs, not really thinking that they were ALOT better than before. I guess its just human nature to be our own worst critic. Hopefully for all of us girls who are having negative thoughts, things will sort itself in the end!

*fingers crossed* CUDDLEESSSSS!

I'm not totally unhappy with my new boobs... I got what I asked for. They are bigger than my pre breast augmentation boobs. They are even, and perky looking.
I would like them to be bigger though. I too asked for a "C" cup. I thought a "C" was bigger than it is lol. I looked at so many pictures and I thought "C"'s looked big.... they may appear big when your naked but under clothes you cant really tell theres boobs under my shirts.
I'm am thinking about going bigger in a year or so.I'd like a full "D". I need to research sizes a bit more, so I can go into my DR's office prepared... and with pics.
I am thinking about HP's in a 500CC, or mod+ in 500-550cc.

I know you're asking about specifics on redo time and unfortunately I don't have any. I believe they ask you to wait 3-6 months because they really do change SO much. It would be pointless to spend all of that time, energy and money on a redo for something that is in fact just temporary and a natural part of the recovery process.
It sounds to me like you may have a little bit of the boobie blues. I got this between my 3 and 7 week post op time frame. They're not changing fast enough into the gorgeous full boobies you hoped for and you're frustrated with your limited activity level. When you can't work out, or carry your kids, or even scrub your kitchen floor you start to think that the new boobs just aren't worth it. This is just compounded when you look in the mirror and think, "they're nice, but they're not really great!". I was still not thrilled with my breasts at 7 weeks post op, now I'm 4 months post and I LOVE them. My one month post op breasts that my husband looked at and said, "I think you're a C cup, I don't think you made it to a D.", have dropped and fluffed into a DD/E. They look and feel nothing like they did at one month post op. They are so much better.

Like Ginzing said, try and focus on the positive and give yourself some time. Easier said than done, I know, but if there is one word that best describes a breast augmentation it's patience.

So true ~
I had a revision for many reasons but size was one of my reasons. Before my 1st breast augmentation/bl I was a saggy D cup. After a 350cc I ended up a rounded D cup. Not happy. I ended up getting 550cc in my right & 600cc in my left & I am now a really full D cup. Still didnt get my full DD like I wanted. I already want another revision & wish I had 800cc or up. I think its natural to be up & down. Everyone's body is different & heals at different times. You have unders so you still have to drop & fluff. Give it time. I know waiting is so hard.
My ps said I had to wait 6 months & I waited 6 months for my revision. The reason they want you to wait at least 6 months is so that your body has time to heal because your still going through changes. They want you to be done changing before your revision.
I hope this helps. I know that when you hear give it time its hard to hear because I struggle with this myself but its true. Even with my 1st surgery I was still changing up till my revision.
Best Wishes!
