First let me say that I love my PS.  He has been great but I am not exactly in love with my results.  I had my BMX with immediate reconstruction in August.  I go back to him in March after chemo is done.  He said we can do revisions at that time.  My husband said that since my PS is going to be on hand when the port is taken out for any revisions, that I should discuss with him that I am not happy with the size of my new breasts.

I was a 34B before and am probably a 34C now.  When my PS and I discussed the size, I told him I wanted bigger but we never discuss how much bigger.  I am looking for more projection and for them to be closer together.  I feel that they are too far apart, but he says that is the way they should be because of my breast bone.

I am thankful for the diagnosis that I have and for immediate reconstruction, but I want to be happy with these for the rest of my life and right now, I can't say that I am.  I just don't want my PS to be upset or angry with me and don't know if this is common for someone to not be happy.  Don't get me wrong - I can live with them and feel kind of petty for being unhappy with them.

What do you think?

    Let your PS be upset or angry. He or she works for you. You deserve to be happy with the results AND his/her bedside manner. It is NOT petty. You and only you live in your skin for the rest of your life. Please get a second opinion. It may be the best thing you do for yourself. If you have not already done so, be sure to check out the "Breast Implant Sizing 101" thread. Send a privatemessage to member " Whippetmom" as well. She is amazing on helping women here figure out the right implant and size for one's body type/size.

    i fell exactly like you do. I don't like to complain or say I am not happy. My PS is great but he doesn't really act like their is opportunity for revisions or redos. It's like I should be tickled with what I have. He is very optimistic things well look great and work out. They very well may but I don't see size projecting more. If these dog ears are still here mid Jan I am calling to see him before doing nipples.
