How disappointing for you but it's early days yet and you may still have some swelling.What did your plastic surgeon say? Don't feel guilty for having a moan -that's what this network is for.I know what it's like to look in the mirror and see a gnarled scar where your breast used to be -your heart sinks. I am too much of a scaredy cat to have reconstruction.Because I had radiation,I could only have the diep flap and that is very long surgery and recovery.If I put myself in your shoes,I think I'd go see the plastic surgeon and see what he had to say.If he is willing to tweek things and discuss your options,then good.But if he thinks he's done a good job then I 'd be getting a second opinion.Now I know you wouldn't want more surgery but you also don't want to stay unhappy with your new boob.That's my take on it anyway.Other ladies here who have had the same reconstruction maybe more helpful.It is such a shame- you have waited so long only to be disappointed.No wonder you are down but don't just put up with it.
