So I had my surgery on 8/14 and did a breast lift with 415cc smooth, round, moderate profile Sientra implants. I am 35 years old and have three kids (breastfed all three). I lost a lot of weight in the last year or so and my boobs were in bad shape. I was always interested in a lift after I had my youngest child four years ago but when I lost all the weight these last 12 months, I no longer had enough breast tissue to get by with just a lift and no implants, but I also had no desire for implants without a lift. Anyway, I also have a very prominent breast bone, which has always gotten in the way of good cleavage, even in my late teens and early 20s. I wanted my boobs to look natural but also wanted to achieve some cleavage. I've always been so self concious about the way my boobs look naked and especially the way they look in a bikini top. My surgeon and I spoke about the difference in profiles and how the moderate profile would help me get SOME cleavage instead of having all the volume go toward the sides, aka side boob. Now that I'm four days into recovery, I am starting to spiral and am worried that my implants were placed way too far apart. From the second I woke up from my surgery, it felt like my boobs were in my armpits and they still feel that way. There is so much volume on the sides but I feel totally disappointed with the way they look in the center. I am trying to be reasonable and also understand that I'm still very swollen and healing, but I don't see my surgeon for another two days and these worries have been preoccupying my mind nonstop and it's making me super depressed and grumpy. After my implants "drop & fluff", will they stop "bulging" out so much on the sides and appear closer together? It feels like I can sit a whole soda can between my boobs and that is NOT the look I just dropped almost $10k for. Please help!
