I swapped my expanders out for implant in February. I went with 375 cc teardrop implant. lately I'm obsessed with the fact that I think I went too small and think I want to get revision done. My implants do not stick as far out as the expanders did. My belly is sticking farther out than my foobs and I'm super self conscious. My surgeon did exactly what I asked but I never expected them to not be as far out as my belly. Has anyone ever done a revision shortly after there expander swap? Will insurance still cover it? I feel bad telling my surgeon as I really like him but I feel like I'm going to be settling. I know they won't be perfect but I've gone through so much I feel like I shouldn't settle.

    I also would like to hear from people who have had size revisions. I've been crying for a week now. Six weeks post op and it turns out that the new breasts that I've loved were mostly swelling. They were a full C and have melted down to a 34 B. The C was going to be my reward for drinking Tamixifen for 5 years. Boo hoo

    I am three weeks out from having the silicone implants put in and I am having a terrible time with constriction issues. When the chest muscles constrict it feels like I have two wet sticky suction cups gripping my chest. Has anyone else experienced this and does it go away? I am ready to just take these out and forget it. Would appreciate any advise.

    i had my silicone implants placed over a year ago. i still feel like i have

    baling wire wrapped tightly around my chest. i used to be able to run prior to all this. i just barely move my arms amd my pec muscle engages and contracts and constricts. thinking about just having them moved so i am not in pain and discomfort.
