50 Year Old, 48 Hours After Implant Removal - No Lift - No Implants? (photo)

I had mine explanted 'en bloc' with a lift..soo happy. Have you seen reviews of the other women on here? It's been an immense help to me! If you go to my profile you can see mine...but better yt if you go to the profiles of the commentators and look and their photos, read their reviews and ask them questions.It will help you.

I'm 8 days out from explant & capsulectomy. I've used frozen peas three times a day for first 6 days twice a day for days 7-8 for fifteen minutes one direction fifteen minutes the other direction then done approx. 5 to 8 hours apart. Not really needed after that probably.

I went to see my ps and he then told me that I was under 2 hours to have 2 capsules removed and that the breast I had fallen on from my horse had ruptured intracapsular and he had to remove silicone from all over the breast tissue. He said it was a right mess. Interesting that none of this showed up on the cat scan. So one side was easy and the other looks like he used a spoon to remove the tissue (no offense). I am 11 days post op and the scars (which were glued) are almost gone. One side is acceptable to me and the other the nipple caved in. I started taping the nipple so that it is flat. I an doing gentle massage as the breast splits in half diagonally when I flex (weird event). So I continue to wear the tensor as it gives me great support and with taping - the nipple is improving in looks. There is still lots of swelling in my upper chest and I am hoping that the swelling drops and goes behind the nipple. I am hoping to massage the inner scar tissue. I will post pics in 5 more days of the start to finish. Thanks for all your kind words.

You are kind to reply. I feel pretty good so far. I agree that time will tell and that I have to heal. If I look really close today I can see that they will be acceptable to me in the future. I am lucky to be healthy and with no cancer or other concerns. After a back shower and no tensor for 20 minutes - the skin is responsive and a normal shape is forming (it is slightly but better than yesterday) The tensor makes big dents in the breasts as you can see in the picture. I am not sure if I am applying the tensor correctly and its purpose. I have scoured the internet but there is not much info on that. Should it be tight? Is it heavy support? or medium support or light support? And what part of the breast am I supporting? Do I lift the tensor as I wind it around. Thanks for comments.
