Thin skin, bony wonky chest anyone else

I have been told my breast skin in very thin and due to small frame I can only have a small implant.

Anyone post op who was told they had really thin skin and a bony wonky chest?

Came out of consultation feeling like a million dollars! Lol

I got told I have asymmetry of the chest wall which I didn’t even know about before I saw my surgeon! Xx

I have a slightly wider chest wall on my right side. My skin is thin but my surgeon is going for 410cc anatomical unders for me.
I think it’s easy to focus on negatives when they give you all the risks and hearing you’re not even on each side makes you feel a bit rubbish at first, but most people are asymmetrical – they just get different sized implants if it’s because their boobs are different sizes. If it’s your bone structure there’s nothing that can be done about it sadly. It’s my bone structure, but I have come to terms with it and still want my boobs done! 🙂
If you’re not happy with the implant recommendation see another surgeon and ask them, many surgeons have different opinions.
I’ve got such a small chest that I was convinced anatomicals were the best for me to get more volume in my upper chest – one surgeon told me round would give me more volume, the other told me that I’d end up looking like I’d stuck 2 bowls on my chest and that anatomicals were the best for me. I agreed so went with him.
Good luck x

I’ve seen three different surgeons and while they all highlighted this and it’s worried me they didn’t seem majoring fussed about it. But I’m worried what those things will mean in terms of results.

Ah right, yeah I can sympathise there. I think the main thing is to remember that no surgeon can give you perfection. Nature couldn’t make either of us symmetrical and neither can they. Also, surgery can’t give you perfection, it can only improve your look, unless of course any of the risks or complications occur.
I was upset when my surgeon told me I’d have asymmetry post-op because of my chest being wider on one side, and he also said I’d feel like my boobs were further apart because of the implants (whatever that means), so I was upset that I might look like I have two big lumps stuck at the sides of my chest – but to be honest, I think my brain was making EVERYTHING he said to me 10x worse, so I thought about it, told my husband what was said and he asked if another surgeon could give me better results, but the 2 I saw have both said the same thing. I think having the implants will be an improvement.
It is a good idea to request a further consultation to discuss it – ask as many questions as you need to about why they mentioned thin skin, if changing the placement would be better, and what having thin skin would mean in terms of your results. I wrote a HUGE list and asked about everything I could think of.
A good surgeon will answer all your questions fully. Mine drew diagrams for me as well on my notes! I saw him for one hour and we ran out of time so I didn’t get measured up, I’m going back next week so he can do that!
He made a lot of points about the risks of surgery, but he had this really confident air about him that I left feeling 100% certain that he’d do the best job for me.
You have to find a surgeon you’re comfortable with, they’ll have their reasons for wanting to do the op a certain way. They want to give you the best results, but it’s hard to feel good about it when their comments and recommendations lead you to feel judged or rubbish about the recommendation.

Who did you see?

what implant size did they suggest for you?x

I’m with the NHS.

Well I was offered 310and 340. ( when pushed if I could have bigger) by first one.
310 and 365 by second
And 285 or 310 by third who recommended I didn’t go above 310. He spent ages measuring me up and showing me my footprint etc.

So size wise think I’m going stick to 310 with partials/ dual plane technique but still really worried what thin skin and wonky chest means at end result. The third surgeon told me I would end up with much better than I had but can only work with what I have.

I think his reasoning sounds realistic. A lot of girls say go bigger or you’ll regret it, but you can do more harm than good by going too big.
The dual plane technique will give you some extra ‘padding’ – I’ve seen girls with asymmetrical results who’s boobs still look great. Naturally most women have a little bit of asymmetry anyway, and you won’t notice in a bra. 🙂 I’m sure it’ll be fine.

Ah thank u. I’m seeing the first one again tomorrow so hopefully get it straight in my head and decide on size.

Good luck, I hope you get some answers to your concerns. 🙂 x
