Mangos Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 In relation to having a BA I'm sure there are a few ladies out there who feel the same as I do and are disappointed with the results. My problem is size... I thought after a few months I'd get over my boob greed and there are days that it doesn't enter my head but for the most part it still plays on my mind. Today especially... getting dressed and looking in the mirror to still feel like I'm not balanced out, it's really depressing. Especially after spending so much money I feel like my boobs are not full enough to give me the results I had hoped for. My implants feel smaller than the rice sizers I had been wearing around the house in the few weeks leading up to my surgery. Some days I think it must be all in my head but it can't be if it's what I see most days in the mirror. I'm really considering contacting my PS to see if there is anything he can do for me in terms of getting a revision for free if I'm not happy with my results. I feel really foolish but a part of me thinks shouldn't it be a duty of care by the PS to ensure his clients are very happy with their results and if not they would correct it? Or is it a case of "sorry your not entirely happy but you have to live with your decision regardless of how much money you've spent and it's not my problem", I'm really worried that that would be the response I'd get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Sorry to hear you feel like that Mangos Was going a size bigger ever an option to you or did your PS tell you that what you have was the biggest you could go? I wouldn't think you could have a revision for free just because you are not happy with the size. I think it would need to be a medical complication and then often it can just be the surgeons fee and you still have to pay the anaethetist etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukii Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Hi Mangos, I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. Unfortunately any form of cosmetic surgery falls under "chance". There is never a guarantee a patient will be satisfied with their result. A surgeon's duty of care extends to ensuring all goes well during the surgery and no complications arise during and post operation (eg. infection). If the surgeon had gone against what you wanted (or you felt pressured into getting the size he/she insisted on) then there may be a chance of getting a revision for free however if it was purely your decision to go with that certain size then I believe you will definitely get the response you're expecting. I know with my PS he recommended a maximum of 300cc but I insisted on 325cc. He has agreed to do it however I know if post op I end up feeling I went too big then there will be no way I'd get a free revision as it was my choice. Hopefully it all gets resolved soon and you end up happy with the twins (revision or not). Sukii xx Edited September 7, 2012 by Sukii Typo.

OneDay Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Oh Mangos, Im so sorry your feeling like this... To be honest this is a side that all our Newbie Members need to see because I feel so many of us go into this thinking we are going to look like the girl in the PS Brochure!!! For me I wasn't a "NICE CANVAS" to begin with, my PS has his work cut out for him and to look at my before and After pics is something I do often when I think a negative thought about my breast - I dont have many bad days at all but yes often when Im in clothing Ithink "Hmmm I could have gone abit bigger" I have to remind myself that I wore Bra's that added to cut sizes... Even my hubby has said from time to time "You cant really telkl you have had them done with clothes on" At first I found that hurtful and thought " Bloody hell, I just wasted 12K to have my hubby tell me I look no different" Im a mother of two so I didn't want the barbie look..... BUT WHEN IM NAKED... beside my squishy belly they look GREAT... even when my hubby see's them he's like "Where have they been hiding????" Other days I look in the mirror and think that the extra 50cc size jump may not have looked extreme!!! I would suggest talking to your PS about it but Im hinking the same as platinum that I dont think a size change would be done free of charge... but talk to him and see what he says, express your concerns it can't hurt!! take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangos Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I was offered 420 as the next size up but 375 is what I went with after discussing with my PS about the possibility of boob greed. He said most girls do wish they had gone bigger but he reckons it's mostly in our heads and we just get used to the size chosen and later think it's too small. He is probably right but if it's playing on my mind most days it's becoming a problem. He said that 375 was a moderately large implant and I should be very happy with my result. He said 375 is the most popular choice of size (maybe that's a statistic he pulled from his records of sizes ordered in the past?). Anyway, after all that I thought okay he's right 375 is big enough but now I'm kicking myself that I didn't take the 420's!!! I'll just have to learn to live with the choice I made I guess. It's just so depressing when I've spent so much money and I'm unhappy with the size... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss la Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Did you sign anything or did your ps discuss if he does free revisions and what revisions he would do for free and for what period of time would the free revision be valid? Did he preform your surgery in a hospital and do u you have private cover? I think every ps has a different policy with revision work so the only way you'll know the answer is to discuss your concern with him! If the surgery was done in a private hospital and you have no cover then you may be stuck paying the hospital fee again! Good luck I hope your ps will agree on a upsize for free!

Lozz68 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Im sorry to hear you are unhappy Mangoes this is my main worry with the surgery. I think that your PS is right and that it is mostly in our heads but this still means we can end up unhappy with the results. Just remember that with BAs we all will probably need a revision at some stage and you may have the option to go bigger then. I think you should go and talk to your PS and just see what he has to say on the matter. just be honest with him and tell him how you are feeling. Do you have any really nice bras that make them look amazing? if not you should definitely go and find yourself one that makes you feel a million bucks!

It's just so depressing when I've spent so much money and I'm unhappy with the size... I am sorry to hear you are feeling disappointed sometimes about the size. This is one of my greatest fears for when i have mine done! I absolutely want to have a bit of a topheavy look! i think that Australian PS's are way too conservative. In the US the average size implants are now over 1000cc... and i'm not convinced that they (the recipients) are having more complications/problems than the Ozzie girls are? Perhaps the US surgeons are more skilled at what they do and can therefore pull it off without the complications which our surgeons claim are a risk? I dont know... still learning every day, but i'm determined to settle for nothing under 630cc - which is the max size Brazilians available. Hopefully i wont regret them later on wishing i'd gone for a 800cc round smoothies instead lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeybaby Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hi mangos. I also wish I went a bit bigger.... You should talk to your PS. Generally, even with complications that require a revision, you're still liable for anaesthesist and hospital fees. In my case this cost was $2500! Plus the cost of the implants. Most surgeons wouldn't waive their fees just coz you want a different size. But I do think that if you're really unhappy and you're surgeon is kind, they may waive their personal fees. They do want you to be happy and you just don't know your luck if you don't ask. But I can guarantee there is no way you'd get the whole thing for free, it's just not done. I thought I was gonna need a revision coz I thought my boobs had bottomed out. Turns out they haven't but there's definitely not as much upper pole and size in the top half of my boobs. It seems all the size is in the lower and side part. I couldn't go through a revision and the extra cost for a revision though... But I know plenty of people do! Just weigh up all of your options and chat to your surgeon. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangos Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Thanks for all the feedback girls!!! It really does help to vent feelings out on this forum, I'd be lost without you all for support. I know I'm being silly about the size thing, I need to realise that there are loads of positives that I need to focus on more than the 1 negative... they are much better than what they were, I'm fitting into 10E bras (although I don't feel that big and they certainly don't look any bigger than a C cup in my mind), they will always be this size as I age (if anything they can only get bigger if I put on weight but I don't plan on doing that), they will always have a good shape even if they start to sag slightly in say 10 years time and if I ever do have to have a revision for medical reasons then I can go bigger if I wish at that point and lastly the summer is coming so I get the girls on show in a fantastic bikini top!! That's probably where most of my issues lie is that in clothing they look like nothing and in all the PS brochures the models are playing theirs up in next to nothing so I think you're right OneDay a lot of my boobie greed stems from looking at those pics and comparing them to mine. I think my PS would laugh at me if I went in asking for a revision just because I want an extra 50cc or so, it doesn't seem worth it to go through all that again. Damn boob greed is a curse but it's real and very demoralising. Thanks everyone for talking this through with me. I think it's time to go bra shopping and get some amazing ones that are going to lift and accentuate. The BnT's complete comfort bras that I've been wearing since 6 weeks post op are doing nothing for me (don't get me wrong, they are fabulously comfortable but they do nothing to lift and accentuate!!) and I'm bored of them. I wish all the pre op girls the very best and hope they are over the moon with their results. I also hope that any post op girls who can relate to my feelings will also put their focus on the positives and try to bat down the one or two negatives that rears it's ugly head. It really is a rollercoaster of emotions even months after having a BA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz68 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Great to hear you are trying to be positive Mangos. i think those things are definitely good ideas The complete comfort might not look good to you but i think from your photos you look amazing! sexy bras are just going to make them look that much better!! thats what this forum is for - the support when no one else really understands! Im really not looking forward to boobie greed as i am pretty sure i am going to have it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneDay Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Babe when was your surgery!!??? Forgot to ask? I also got 375cc in one and 400cc in the other, Im a 10F of 12E, I love Bra N Things and have only had luck with "Killer Kurves" brand - some very sexy ones in that range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Good to see that you can start to think positively Mangoes! You definately have to go out and buy yourself some great bras! I notice b 'n t have just released an extreme clevege bra, no idea yet of course if it works but there's no harm in going and trying it on for yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangos Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I had my surgery on the 10th of May this year so I'm coming up to the 4 month mark soon. I'd say if I could lose my wobble guts that might make the top half look bigger ha!! It's hard though to focus on myself exercise wise with 4 kids to look after plus the fact that my stomach has been stretched like a balloon after the twins... maybe in another year I'll feel a lot better about my body image. Thanks for the tip re bras, I'll defo check that brand out next time I'm at BnT's :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneDay Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I got that email about the Extreme clevage also platinum BUT that largest cut size is a D.... Bahahaha who whould have thought this pissy saggy little B cup girl would be bummed about being bigger than a D!!! We have to remember that Mangos....

Lozz68 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I love the look of the killer kurves range - i cant wait to fit into them they look great the extreme cleavage bras have actually been out for awhile but i think they are releasing some new ones which is why they are 'launching' them at the moment. these are the bras i have been wearing for the last year or so - absolutely love them as they are they type that give you +2 cups sizes or something haha up until now i believe they only made them up to a D .. not sure about the new ones though.

Thanks for the tip re bras, I'll defo check that brand out next time I'm at BnT's :-) My tummy sticks out too much for my liking at the moment too Mangoes from my two pregnancies. I was having a TT at the same time as my BA but now putting it off for a few years. My PS did say that when I have the tummy done, the boobs will look a lot bigger and to keep that in mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneDay Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I had one friend say "Why would you buy a clevage bra, isnt that why you got your boobs done" I said Um I got them done to add fullness not to have arse boobs!! I can get clevage in a normal bra BUT If I want arse boobs one day I'll bloody have them hahahahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz68 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 thats so true Oneday. Even with my small b sized boobs, with an extreme cleavage bra i have cleavage - and it touches haha so it is going to be strange for me for while to not have that. When im allowed to wear padded push up bras i will definitely be getting some for special occasions! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molros Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hey Mangoes I think they look good...and they do look big, I think that initially they look extra big cos they're swollen (I know I had pretty bad frankenboob the day after surgery) and then I think once they've gone down and settled we are happy but then get used to them. I know I am used to mine now and don't think they look that big......I know they haven't shrunk so its in my head! Like One Day says I think sometimes we expect to wake up looking perfect when really we are just improving what we have, whether its small/large/saggy/uneven. They are more conservative here than the US, thats for sure, and I know when I look on the JBI website I feel a bit like the odd one out! But then you have internal bras too I think, I've not heard of that here. I see you're here in WA too, not sure who you saw but you could always go see them and see what they'd say but honestly, they do look good, and BIG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangos Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Thanks Molros and everyone else for the supportive words. I'm pretty sure most of it is in my head so am going to try to focus on the postives of why I got a BA in the first place. Think the negativity just got to me this morning. OneDay I got dual plane so the top part of the implant is under the muscle but the bottom half isn't... I think?!! I guess time will tell is any further changes are to happen but I'd be surprised if they did change, I think the Allergan 410's are so form stable that they stay the same shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozzie Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Your boobs are fantastic , I think your looking at lots of other ladies boobies with really doesn't help with boobie greed , I have found that with me !!! When I see other boobies I want BIGGER haha but I'm serious your boobs are great . Don't change them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissCheree Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 It only goes up to a D?! How silly, with all the women having BA's these days you think manufacturers would start making a lot more larger cup size and pretty looking bra's for the bigger booby girls! My Gf had hers done about 2 myths ago and is finally ready to buy bras and went to bras n things to be fitted. She is only small and they fitted her to an 8G in the killer curves range. Which I thought was so strange they're not that big and the cup reaches around the her side!! It seems the bra world just hasn't quite caught up with the modern woman and her new breast friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
