Prepare your thoughts and go over any concerns or comments you'd like to make known about the below issues:

1. ___ size or fullness (if applicable)

2. ___ contour irregularities

3. ___ nipple height (if applicable)

4. ___ cleavage (if applicable)

Don't be afraid to discuss any concerns you may have or any dissatisfaction you may be feeling.  Just be sure that you knew that you are still healing and will continue to heal for several months before you can judge your outcome.  Some complications or undesirable attributes can be seen within a few days or weeks whereas some may take a few months.  Please see our appropriate Message Boards for support from real patients who have had or are presently experiencing similar feelings.
