3rd time is hopefully a charm!

Hey all! I feel pretty great after surgery. I was a little sore and had some burning but that's pretty normal. To get the left breast to "perk" up and stay up I ended to getting the anchor incision instead of just the lollipop. I can shower in a few hours (thank goodness bc I SMELL) and I go back to work today. I'm a little swollen but they look much closer than they did before. I'm much more happy already! I am however worried that when I take the steri strips off it will hurt...lol I take them off Wednesday so hopefully showering a couple of times will loosen them up. Anyways just wanted to give a little update and added a new pic! Can't wait to see what I look like when I'm more healed and the swelling goes down. So far, so good though!

Everything went well with the previous revisions and the implant is in place where it's supposed to be but, my boob is still bigger and saggy! Went and saw my MD and we decided to do another revision on the left breast and go with a lift and reduction and hope that it fixes things once and for all. My surgery is set for 9/12 and ill be back to work 9/16. I'm excited I won't have a drain this time and I'm not so worried about pain bc the last time it wasn't so bad. So. Stressed. Lol I'm also moving to Texas at the end of this month so hopefully everything goes according to plan. No lifting for 2 weeks so it's cutting it close but I have a lot of support so I think thing will go well. Anyways just wanted to share the news. I added a new picture so you can see what I'm taking about. Good luck ladies :)

Things have been so hectic and busy lately I haven't had a chance to update! I was unlucky enough to catch the stomach flu last Sunday and that lasted all of the way until Wednesday! My surgery was scheduled for Thursday so I was kind of freaking out but I didn't have a fever since Tuesday night and had drank lots and lots of fluids so I got the ok for the procedure, thank heavens! I really DID NOT want to put this off any longer. So I went in at 4:15pm, starving, bitchy, and faint! I was dehydrated from not having any food or drink in so long that it took 4 times to cath the IV and get me pumped full of fluids. By 5pm I was on the table talking to Dr. Saunders and getting ready to go down for the count, next thing I know I'm waking up in recovery! Last time I woke up I got incredibly nauseous so not only did I have zofran but also a composite suppository just in case, and of course I totally needed it. Once the nurse gave it to me it was only a matter of minutes until I was feeling normal enough to get in the car for the hour long trip home. I couldn't end up eating anything until around 11pm and once I did I felt like a million bucks! The pain has been SO minimal! My incision looks great and you can barely see it! I think the worst part was the drain, Ew! I had to have that until Monday and the hole is wayyyy bigger than I thought but, at least it's grossness is out at this point. The procedure was supposed to be pretty quick bc he thought he was just gonna cut thru some scar tissue and it would drop down and be fine and should take less than an hour. The surgery lasted over 2 hours and ended up having a lot more very hard scar tissue that had to be removed bc it formed after my breast never settled. I have the strap and have to wear it 24hours a day until next Monday and he also wants me massaging 3x a day on that side. Whatever I have to do to ensure this never happens again is what I plan on doing. I feel better already! I look so much more even and natural :) I am very swollen right now so pics don't really do any justice so it will be a while until I post. Thanks for the support ladies and ill keep you guys up to date on recovery. Finally getting the results I always hoped for :) plus Dr. Saunders is GREAT and I am so glad I chose him as my PS!
