    • No, but if it is the same in a year, have them redone.

    • Absolutely not, you are being overly picky about great boobs!

Arms down they really DO look fantastic. I hope you get to love them unconditionally, lol. Its a big change to your body to do something like this and I think you need to allow a little time to get used to it all. Nothing is every going to be perfect. But those boobs are darn close to it!

do you really want them bigger? They just look so darn perfect as it is.

I agree with Jachut, they are pretty damn perfect already. A full D is quite large and do you really want to deal with more scaring and future very saggy boobies they are quite large. (Because they will sage eventually, PS can not prevent it just postpone it).

Jenna,

I can totally see why you are unhappy with them. Symmetry is very important to me, whenever I can get mine done. I know they wont be *perfect*, but like you, I'll pay more than just the 'super savings' surgery.

I do think I would wait until I was 6 weeks or so out before really demanding that they go in and fix it... and if they are going to go in and fix it, you might as well have them give you the size that you wanted to begin with, if you still want it.

I'm nervous to have mine done because I don't want to end up with something I'm really unhappy with, but I'm unhappy with what I have now too, lol.

I think they do look great with your arms down, and probably no one would notice without it being pointed out, but like you said, you got them done for you, and you should make sure you end up happy with them. I would not be willing to wait 6 months to a year to have them fixed, maybe I'd wait 3...

I had 380 cc's in each. I really think the doctor didn't put the full 380 in the right tho. Unless, of course it is the whole "right handed" theory? Dunno.

I was a large C, small D before I had the lift and augmentation though so I am used to the large size.

I'm not sure this is what you want to hear. If I went through the effort to lose all the weight, made the decision to have plastic surgery and paid $8000 dollars--cold, hard cash--I'd demand more than 'good enough clothed.'

Personally, I think you looked great before the surgery. But if you made the decision to have implants and reconstruction there was a specific look you had in mind. I'd start saying something to the doctor each time I saw him. Is this imbalance permanent? Will things even out? I expect symmetry, not one nipple looking up and one straight, not one breast fuller, one more squat. Most importantly, if this is the final result--what will you do to rectify it? Make it clear you expect some kind of action.

Natural imperfections are one thing, you're born asymmetrical. You PAY for improvement. Do you see your $8000 worth of improvement?

It's your call in the end. Do you want perfection? Can you live with what you see? What was your expectation going into this?

Me? I'd ask for some money back rather than have more surgery, but it's your body and your decision.

Ok Princess, arms down they look AWSOME. Arms up yes, I can see what you have a problem with. I have been reasearching PS and I think we are alike. I don't really care if they look natural, they need to look perfect to me. But I am conflicted because arms down, they are drop dead gorgeous girl!

I would talk to the Dr NOW about options, and then decide. They need to know you have a problem now to be able to fix it later. But I would not rush into any decision yet. They do look pretty damn great.

i think they look pretty good arms down. I would just half to ask myself if it was worth it to me to have to go back through the pain and inconvenience to have them perfect.

Well Jenna.... I think you're living up to your handle. BUt I guess if that ol' pea is keeping you awake no matter how many mattresses are stacked (or how the boobs are stacked) it's gonna have to go! :lol:

I was a little bothered about my eyebrows not quite matching when I had my eyes done until I noticed they NEVER quite matched. I'd never noticed it before surgery. Since then I've noticed hardly anyone has exactly symetrical eyebrows. I honestly would NOT notice your breasts aren't exactly the same. Any designer can tell you the human eye looks for focal points and tends to fill in the details and ignore the minor imperfections.

But of course if you can't sleep...

Personally, I think they look great, esp. the pic with the arms done. Them not being totally perfect makes them perfect, if that makes sense. I think that slight asymetry is cute and it does give it a little naturalness and they are perky enough and big enough to rock. But if they were my boobs and I wanted them perfect, damn't, and matching, I had gone to this guy who was supposed to make them that way I would be ticked off. And I wouldn't want to wait and see what happens because to me that translates to "wait and see if you forget about it or lose heart". I'd demand something! Either they fix it or give you some money back, or at least apologize! If you were given the impression that you would get perfect, and thats not what you were given, then they should make it better in some way. To me, the risks of the surgery, etc., wouldn't be worth going under the knife again when they look so good. But I would want something. And I would understand if you did need that. Clear as mud, huh?

Jenna,

The plastic surgeon that I spoke with told me that you most always want to choose a different fill amount for the left breast than the right if you want them even. Naturally, they are not even either. I hope this helps.

Went to doc appt!

Doc showed me some "before" pictures he had taken of me. My right was a bit odd and smaller to begin with and the left was naturally wider. He told me that in a year if I am not happy, I can have more put in the bag and have them bigger and fuller but wants me to live with them for awhile before I go off the deep edge on getting more in.

Also, gotta tell ya all that I did some Botox. THAT STUFF ROCKS!! I saw an immediate difference and now 2 days later even better! It stung like a bitch but allllllllll worth it. Highly recommend the Botox for foreheads and crows feet!!!

Jenna,

I have a very similar body type as yours, including starting weight and breast size/shape. Thanks for posting the pictures, it's about what I'm envisioning for myself after I lose weight.

What was the brand name and type of your implants? Are they saline or silicone? Does the shape have a specific name?

Details, girl -- you have my future boobs! :)

You paid for them... the Dr. should have to fix them for you but, they really are not that bad. I just understand that you paid that kind of money for them the Dr should have to fix them.

This may sound horrible newgirl07 but I really don't know. I think I have the silicone gel and I think they are round and smooth textured but I am just guessing at what I overhear. I was REALLY scared to get them done and I have backed out of getting them done several times because I had "too much information" so I just put my boobies in his hands and told him I didn't really want to know because I didn't want to back out. Silly I know, but it worked.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
