Stern talking to myself needed!

Annie,
Be PATIENT I am still not even and it appears that the right side is smaller than the left but when I measured them they are both the same size, so wierd,,,,, I also am not really happy with the natural look that I am getting, I wanted them to be higher and stay put not move around a bunch, so anyway I know how you are feeling but it takes a long time they say up to a year to get to where you will know exactly how you will look.
Sorry for my ranting alittle just not a good morning I guess.
Keep your chin up and take pics you will see the changes more in the pics than the mirror.

Different sizes, different shapes, and I don't like it!!! I want perfection. LOL! Then I start talking to myself. Repeating what I would tell anyone else with the same look. Well, I finally calmed down and looked again. They looked the same but not so bad. And I realized that pre-BA, they weren't exactly the same. Why should they be now? Just 'cause my PS told me I was fairly symmetrical, I expected matching boobies?? Yep, I guess I did. Ha! Doesn't happen that way, and now I am ok again. I think I can even deal with being bigger than expected. (I just won't ever tell DH what size I end up with.) Time, time, time, it all takes time, doesn't it? That really hit me today. My first time to sorta freak out. Thanks for being here to let me sound off. You ladies really are the best.

Anyone else having these thoughts, don't worry. It will pass.

When I look down at mine, lefty appears to be a little larger than righty. I got the same size in both boobs, so I figure they must have been different sizes from the beginning -- lol. Hubby says he really doesn't notice it and if I look at them straight on, I really don't see that much difference. But when I look down on them or cup them in my hand, I can see/feel it. I've kinda gotten used to it. I guess pre-BA I didn't analyze them like I do now.

Hi Annie! I know how you feel - mine are totally different looking too and it pisses me off that they're not perfect after all the suffering (and MONEY) put into this. You already know this, but your feelings are totally normal and you're not alone. Sending you a big hug!!

PS - your avatar pic looks great!

Hi! I am new to the site and need help setting up my pics etc... I feel the exact same way. In fact, I saw my PS today and was very unhappy with the appt. The first 2 weeks were great. Now, at 7 weeks post-op I am disappointed to say the least. One is so much larger than the other, one rides high, open cleavage, stretch marks very visible, on top of it all, the are way too small. My PS said I looked great, that everyone has one bigger, and for my cleavage, well, thats just the way it is. He did all he could do. He suggested I wear an underwire, push-up, padded bra! Isn't that why I got a BA in the first place! Of course, he is happy to make me bigger! He just sees dollar signs! I can't stop crying! I don't want to go out, wear any cute tops, or be seen in my swimsuit. I model and have cancelled my shoot for June. Now I'm mad. Any advise?
