Breast Revision - Implant Exchange - Canada

I'm actually into my third week now, but thought I would give a two week review. I feel great. It's like I never had surgery. So much different from my initial BA. I still need to take extra care to make sure I don't overdue it as I am still healing. Has anyone had internal sutures? I have this on the left side and want to make sure I don't tear any stitches. I'm just not sure how long the healing process takes. I plan on calling my PS on Thursday (officially 3 weeks) to see what I can and can't do.

I feel like my left implant still sits a little lower than my right, but overall I'm happy with the results. I think to expect perfection is unrealistic. I can appreciate this more after having a complication. I've uploaded pics of my scars too, which are healing nicely. Sorry about the little bit of blood… this is right after removing the tape.

There are minor changes at two weeks, but provided all is well, I shouldn't expect things to look too different over time. My PS said with the revision, my immediate post op results are basically final. I didn't go too much larger in size, so the implants don't have to drop like they did the first time. The muscle has already stretched.

I had my followup with my PS today and everything seems great! I feel good, and love my results. I just need to be extra careful the next few weeks to make sure the sutures don't tear creating another complication. My PS raised the left implant and with the implant exchange I was left with a symmetrical result. Surprisingly there wasn't any work done to the right side. Since I received smooth implants, they do not adhere and sit a little lower than my old implants. I wear this post op surgical bra day and night for 3 weeks, then I can start wearing normal bras again! It's so exciting having options now that I like the look of my breasts. Even after my original BA I never got to feel that excitement because of my complication. I was advised not to wear a sports bra for at least 6 weeks. I was surprised. I thought the extra support would be good, but because it squishes them, it could damage the internal sutures. Who knew?

Thanks for all the support I received from this site. I wish I had done this for my initial BA. It's so helpful to blog, ask questions, and hear other ladies experiences. I'll probably update in the next couple weeks with more pictures. Right now, there's no change from the revision pics I posted. My PS said my results are pretty much final, with some very minimal changes over the next 6 months. If they stay exactly the same I'll be a happy camper!

I had my surgery yesterday afternoon and it looks like it was a success!! Only downfall is I have been soooo sick (nauseous) ever since. I didn't have this after my first BA. The pain is much much better though. It is true what they say, revision recovery is much easier. Overall I love my results. I hope they stay this way. It looks like my PS corrected the left side, but still slightly lowered the right. I have a follow-up next week and can confirm exactly what he did. I still have a slight crease on my left side, but it really doesn't bother me. They're not perfect, but I feel 100% better with this revision. I did get an increase in size, but I don't think it's too noticeable. I'm sure my old bras will still fit, I'll hopefully just fill them out better. I'd write more, but I am on painkillers at the moment and I'm feeling drowsy. I'll give another update after my followup. I took photos today to share. Let me know what you think!
