Time to trade in my saline for silicone.

Oh My.. it happened is all I can say. My left breast problem girl who felt a need to be higher than her right all along, simply decided to cause a new problem yesterday afternoon. While again massaging the implant still in hopes of having two perfectly placed implants, suddenly it felt like the implant took flight into my armpit! I called the office and they seen me in less than 45 minutes of this socking event and confirmed implant rupture. Good news I paid that extra 100.00 to Allergan for the super dupper coverage, so the entire cost is covered. Bad news, surgery on Thursday April 26th. I'm told this surgery will be very minor as the real work has already been done. The bonus is that Doctor will perfect the new pocket and I really will have perfect twin girls. Wish me luck!

Hello Real Self World,

Hoping the Christmas season finds everyone healthy, well and recovered or recovering just in time to enjoy the Holiday fun! So my left implant is still a little higher than my right. BTW that is the breast that had the deep muscle calcifications removed in 2006, so there maybe some old scare tissue preventing the progress I want to see. Good news is that I'm going every two weeks for muscle ultrasound which is all included in my office follow up visits at no additional charge :) I'm also continuing to take a smooth muscle relaxers and a week of prednisone. My office nurse Mary who does my ultrasounds say's even the most stubborn breast will drop within a year. So I'm sure it will be fine & the implant moves well in the pocket. Bottem line is that when I log into this site and see me before, I make sad face and think, wow I can't belived that was me all those years! I'm so happy with my post-op body and now going into fancy dress season for the parties ahead I'm having a blast looking and trying on fun fancy dresses :) It's awsome to have everything look so good on! On a side note I changed the total price of my surgery to reflect total costs including the little extra's like unpaid 20% and co pays for meds, labs, ect. It's all good and I'm very Happy that I've done this and have such a supportive Husband who was with me every step of the way. Good luck to all :)

10 week post op visit this morning. My abdomen ultrasounds are dropping to every other week :) My PS told me that my breast pockets are well developed but my breasts are still "tight" He says no bra for 6 months. I have to admit I was getting excited about shopping for something really fun but it's not the end of the world to live in cami's for a few extra months. In the end I just want every thing to look really good. I'm putting up a few new pictures :)
