If, after having breast implant surgery, you find yourself wondering, “Do I need to go bigger?” then you probably have a little-known phenomenon called “boobie greed.”
Boobie greed is when you question whether it’s time to get a bigger implant size almost immediately after you’ve successfully recovered from your breast augmentation. Here are a few ways you can avoid boobie greed and ensure you get the right breast implant size the first time.
The Right Approach
Boobie greed doesn’t happen to every woman, but can be avoided by making sure you get your breast implant size right during your initial consultation appointment. Make sure to plan carefully and ask the right questions about implant sizes, including what is the best breast implant size for your body type and lifestyle. Having as much information as possible before making a final decision should help you feel more confident with your choice.
Give it Time
Boobie greed tends to appear just a few short months after your breast augmentation, which is not enough time to decide if a revision procedure is necessary. Keep in mind, going bigger means having to purchase a whole new wardrobe, changing your exercise routine and other expenses aside from the cost of the new surgery, so give yourself more time to live with and love your new look. Once enough time passes, if you still feel bigger would be better for you, consult your plastic surgeon to inquire on the best steps to take in order to meet your goals.
