5'6 130 lbs preop 34d ps suggested lollipop lift n implants to fill out where gravity had kicked in. I am only 31 n no kids I also got Botox n restalayne. My face is bruised from both but almost back to normal 3 days later. I think I am loving the results from Botox! I am hating my boobs. Me n hubbu r so confused they look really wide n round but flat or almost a smashed in look. I was scared of going to big or to small wants to be a xxl d or small to normal dd I ended up with a 375 that was filled to 485 which when I woke up n found out filled to 485 I almost freaked out cause I thought waaaay to big now when I look at my boobs I am thourghly confused n disappointed. My boobs are wierd n ugly looking they itch I can't sleep, their under my collerbones, did I make the right decision? I am soooo worried about how they look as my hubby is too. I went in with already big decent boobs with a pushup bra n come out looking like a dissaster. Please please any advice encouragement or tips tell me!

Most people end up with "frankenboobs" right after BA. Just be patient, I know it's hard. It takes time for them to heal and start looking normal.
Don't worry, they are going to be beautiful!

It's OK!! don't worry yourself too much right now your body is healing so no more added stress! It's so soon after your BA/lift and your body is going to go through ALOT of changes. The swelling is going to subside and they are going to "drop" into the pockets that were made. They are also going to get soft and "fluff" all of this is going to make them look beautiful BUT it can take up to 6 months for all of it to happen. Time is all you need, good luck with your recovery!

thanks for the encouragement I hope u r right. Forget to mention saline unders if it mattered. Tomorrow I have another postop we will see what ps says. I am trying to be optimistic but can only think of wearing hoodies n sweatshirts to work to hide my weird look for now. Also I have been trying to ice, does this help any?

grn8eyes · 01-06-2008, 10:30 PM

Oh definately!! Keep ice on them as much as possible throughout the day. It helps with swelling AND pain, good luck!

You are healing! It's normal for them to look scary--they have been traumatized. Give them a few months and you'll be more than pleased! You are riding the tough waters right now. The first few weeks of recover are a big bummer as we so want instant pretty boobies! They will get there, but it TAKES TIME for them to heal, drop and get fun again. You can do it--start planning your summer fun with the girls. It will give you something to look forward to!

thanks all for the encouragement; i had a postop today; i started crying in the dr office lol; i was telling him i didn't like my boobs & thought they were ugly; he looked at me like i was coocoo!! he says they look awesome, hardly any bruising, & did i remember what i looked like before lol. He says I am gonna be a dd & like everyone else, i gotta give them time to settle into place. He says its more outta place right now cause i went under the muscle. So I came home, took a shower & looked in the mirror. OK maybe I was freaking out too early. Me & the hubbys biggest concern is they look the same size or a lil smaller than before the surgery. Today in the mirror I don't think they look that way. They do look big; my friend looked at them & said they are big. Maybe I just ain't used to looking at full round boobs that are not laying against me lol. I guess I really just gotta be patient & wait for the swelling under my collerbones to fall down to the boob haha. Thanks again for all the advice & support ladies!!!

I had a lift and switched implants in Nov. At first they looked all smashed in square but now they have started dropping and are starting to look better. Just give it time. I know it's hard to wait I'm having hard time being patient.

jinaz · 01-10-2008, 10:18 PM

I had a bl (lollipop) and ba on 11/8. Like everyone says, you've gotta give it time. My PS says my right side has dropped but it's noticably smaller than my left; it just needs to "fluff", it's really hard to be patient I know! I have saline complete unders btw. You have lots of changes ahead!
