2 weeks, 1 day post op
I have been absolutely horrible about getting on the ball with updating this review. It has been a pretty uneventful recovery thus far. Back to work yesterday, I took a full 2 weeks off and it is BRUTAL being back. I went to a post op appointment on Thursday, the 22nd. He told me I no longer have to wear the band and that I can start massaging. He didn't really show me many exercises, so I have been pushing them together and down and up just to get the implant moving and hopefully soften things up. My left boob is my favorite - it's the biggest, it's settling better and just is more of the shape and fullness I wanted. My right boob is still a little funky, my nipple looks pointed downwards still and it hasn't really dropped much. Impatiently waiting for them to "drop" and settle. Be nice when I have more boob under the nipple than over it! Patience is not my virtue and I'm trying to just not focus on it.
Almost all of my stitches in my nipple are gone - one stubborn one left that hasn't fully dissolved inside. I have steri strips on my crease incision until it falls off (he said another week so I can take them off thursday if i want) I'm pretty sure I will be satisfied with the size and outcome.. just waiting for them to settle so they look like actual boobs and not so fake!
I'm not sure how excited I am about my nipple. I was afraid he was only going to take the "point" off that was on my nipple and not a full wedge like I asked and showed him several times and brought up again at my pre-op to make sure he was going to actually reshape the nipple to be round and smaller like my other... but it's looking like he only took the point so it lays flatter and now the nipple looks like he took that part out and its got a weird like flat spot.. IDK super annoying to me - paid an extra $1000.00 for it and I want it right!! (I will bring this up at my 6 week post op in July if once healed it doesn't improve)
I am on my laptop right now (don't have BA photos on here) So I will have to update photos off my phone in a different update, but I wanted to check in.

Provider Review
Dr. Deluca has been absolutely fantastic this entire journey. From my consultation to pre op he has answered all questions and gave me his honest opinion. He was great to my mother bc she was freaking out before my surgery ( typical mom worry ) his staff was awesome and so nice and attentive. Would recommend him to anyone near NY or willing to travel. The only downfall I will say is that his time with you in the office is VERY quick. I think the longest I've ever seen him throughout this entire thing (even my first visit) was MAYBE 10 minutes. I did NOT feel rushed, but he is definitely in and then out.
