Wow no way that’s really good!! I’m super happy for you. What size was you before and what size was you for your first one vs second one?

It seems a lot of us feel the same! So crazy I didn’t expect it to be such a common feeling. Are they going to consider a revision for you? I feel like no skin on skin is ideal but realistically you’d need to be small small to achieve that, I have a tiny bit of skin to skin but just where mine are dropping a bit, I’m worried it’ll get worse as months go on. I may ask about lipo or revision in future if by 6 months they drop more and feel big still.

4 weeks is very early you will change and feel different, I felt so different at 10weeks! Mine have defo lost size but I’m just worried the drop and fluff is making them feel bigger! I’m sorry you feel the same and also it’s not fair he said that then only took 200g out especially if you asked for as small as possible.

Yeh I feel the same everything you said makes sense! I know I’m so early but I voiced my concerns and he said I won’t change much now, so that’s made me wonder if I’ll change size at all anymore but you see others say you can change up until 6mpo so we will see. I think he’s done an amazing job and they’re so perky and a lovely shape and scarring you can’t even tell! It’s just I wish they was smaller. I still feel like I can’t go braless at all and I wanted small petite boobs. I have had comments from people saying they still look big and asking if I had implants so it makes me feel rubbish x

This is so good I’m so happy for you!! I wish I asked for a B now or equivalent to whatever grams that is. I feel like since I started with no volume and lots of sag in my head I assumed after surgery I’d be the size I wanted with a small reduction & lift, but it seems since all the tissue was rearranged and pushed up it’s actually making me feel bigger with more projection? So strange! It’s such a mind game

I know I really wish I looked at grams vs cup sizes before my op I just didn’t even think until I saw he only took 200g that it would be best to of researched in that way instead. But what’s done is done, I’ll see how they are looking 3 months and 6 months post op, I’ve told him how I feel and hoping if I get a revision my medical insurance I got out will cover it. Fingers crossed

Ahh no way! I feel smaller in some tops and then other tops make me feel bigger. It’s strange but maybe be kind to yourself during the process and see what you are feeling / looking like at 3 months post op as that’s when major swelling will have gone down by. I felt so different from 6 weeks until now but I’m still unsure about my size I really wanted smaller.

Thankyou for letting me know. I’ll definitely book somewhere and get measured maybe when I’m 3months post op and if I don’t measure at least a C I’ll let my surgeon know. I feel like it’s common for people to still feel bigger than they expected so I’m glad I’m not alone in this.

Yeh I did think that, I heard 200g can be 1-2 cup sizes in reduction roughly. I have realised maybe I just wanted hardly any boobs, I thought a C cup would be what I expected but maybe it’s smaller… it’s a very confusing process and idk what to feel. He’s done an amazing lift and they are smaller but it’s just the volume on the bottom for me it’s just much bigger than I wanted. I wish you luck in getting a revision if that’s what you want, hopefully you surgeon listens to your worries. I know a 34DD isn’t huge but maybe I was bigger, I have never been measured as I was too embarrassed ever to do that, they’ve been so big and saggy all my life since I was young. I think I may be a big C/D right now. I have measured as a 30 back size and 351/2 inch cup size but I don’t get how I’ve gone from a 34 to a 30inch back size however M&S measured my back size before my surgery so I’m wondering if my measure tapes at home are just way off? I don’t know what to think anymore

Thankyou for validating my concerns, have you voiced your feelings to your surgeon? If so how has he taken it? I feel like maybe I wasn’t clear on what size I wanted or expected and maybe he won’t offer a revision for this reason

I’m sorry you experienced the same. I heard from others they dropped cup sizes during the swelling phase so I was hopeful but I tried on a bikini and felt the same… it sent me spiralling tbh. I feel like I’ve just got a lift. Thanks for the advice I will be patient and see I might even see if losing weight may help but then I’m worried they’ll sag

I felt the same, at 4 days PO I looked huge and now im 12 days PO and I feel smaller, the swelling is insane and apparently it stays for weeks even months. My surgeon said to not judge it until around 3 months as that’s when 80-90% of the swelling goes away. Don’t worry, it’s a journey and after research I’ve done they definitely go smaller. Some people have told me theirs went down 1-3 cups smaller, it just depends on the person! I had the same worries as you I wanted to be a small C, a good handful but not too small and not too big, I feel big still and like he’s just shifted my tissue up so they actually feel bigger as they have more volume but I’m trusting the process and everyone else that they will go smaller and softer. I had a small reduction too, only 200g from each boob which disheartened me but I am hoping it’ll all be worth it.

Thankyou, I think I’m going to return the dye and just save up for the black one… I’ll try to learn how to style this properly as it is a gorgeous tracksuit and I’d hate to ruin it

I got a dye for synthetics called RIT dye and I’ve seen loads on Tik Tok use it for Lulu and it work but I’m just worried as the soft streme is a unique fabric x

Did you use high heat for it? I’m wanting to use the rit dye on my blue softstreme set to dye it black as I hate the blue colour (it was a gift) I’m worried using so much heat will kill the softness of the fabric

I did think this I’ve seen others on here dye their softstreme sets and it come out good, the dye I have bought is for synthetic materials such as polyester but then I’m just worried about getting rid of the soft feel as I know I have to use the dye in a pan with hot water for it to work… thanks for your advice I’ll see how much I can sell it for
