Hello all,

I am struggling to make a decision and would lime to know if any of you have dealt with the same. Let me start by saying that I CHOSE my size which now is a 34D from a pre MX size of 34B. I am 46, 5'6 slender but athletic with broad shoulders, 130#. My prior breasts looked like two small tennis balls on my broad chest. Now, my 650cc HP Mentors just look so BIG, the diameter is over 14 cm and they sitnagurally low as my frame held my other breasts but I am short waisted so it lookes like my entire torso is BREASTS!

My daughters are adults and incredibly supportive, they agree that I just look very big all over, heavier and that there just isnt enough torso to carry them. Secondly, my jkb requires me to qeat lead in the Operating room for long hiurs standing and my upper back/ scapula become very sore.has anyone downsized and if so, what was the consequence to your second outcome regarding insurance, skin and nipple placement etc?? How did your PS respond to your request? I dont feel like myself, it is becoming very emotionally stressful as I dont want the cancer to be on my mind every time I look in the mirror, life has gone on!

Thank you!!!

    Mimi, Sorry! I have a friend who had the same thing, her implants were too big made her miserable. She insisted they be removed. She did get her insurance to cover it based on how they wrote it up..that it was medically necessary. Maybe someone else can respond with mor info. I say get them out! We need to be comfortable after the hell we go thru, not still in it, you know? Hugs to you!
