Almost 5 weeks po PIC's included!!
Still keeping the tapes on to minimize the scarring. Im awaiting my lollipop silicone strips to arrive so I can start wearing those. They are soooo expensive but work great. I used these on my TT incision and its healing nicely finally! : )
So my rightie is still higher than the left. Left looks completely settled and happy! The right is dropping slowly but surely. I ended up having to go back to compression after my last post. I was traveling and I thought i saw fluid so PS said do it until I can get back in to see him. So I went in for a check up today no fluid so all is good!!!
Still taking it easy tho. I got to see my boobies with the tape off today.
I am happy with the size. I have posted a pic from today. Since I got revision on my lift my boobies are usually taped so it was nice to see them today.
I will post my pre BA pic soon...when I look at that I will say all this is still worth it even after all my revisions and the complications I've had.

No more fluid!
I am seroma free! Today is my first day without a compression bra and foam. For the past almost 2 weeks I have had to wear 24/7 compression and I was getting numbed and drained daily minus the weekends.
My back is sooo happy. When I finally took off that bra it looked as though it was painted on me the indentations were soo deep!
Now I am in a regular bra and I couldn't be happier! My rightie is trying to drop now and even out with the left side.
I feel great!!! I will post pics in 2 days at my 4 week mark! I still have tapes on but these puppies are looking amazing!! Time to celebrate being compression free!!!

Ouch- 13 days PO - Fluid Build up in left breast pocket
Wow all I can say is listen to your body. I have been saying that the liquid sound in my left breast didn't sound right. After calling my PS after hours on Friday he said he wanted to see me on Monday. I was traveling and couldn't get there until 1st thing today. Well he confirmed that I had an unnecessary accumulation of fluids. So he numbed me up and stuck a needle in my boob and drained out over 110cc's of fluid!!!!
Even though he sealed that other pocket off my body was accommodating for the extra space it found. Im guessing after 4 surgeries over there that makes it harder.
Super glad I listened to my inner voice on this one.
Now that the fluid is drained I have to wear a super duper compression bra with foam. I go back in 2 days for a follow up to see next steps.

Hi ;) I'm sorry u had that happen and I'm so glad everything is well now ;) I just had a BL AND BA two weeks ago. I just had a question do the doctors give a discount for u having to re do it? Is it covered? Or do u have to pay full price? Hope all is well ;)

Hey Mandy! It all dependson your surgeon. Most say that a cap con is just a complication and you may have to pay for any re-dos. One reason why I stuck with my surgeon aside from him being really nice and caring is because he didn't charge me for all the extra surgeries. This last one was free including the new gummy bear implants and all. I never had to pay another surgeon fee but at times I paid for materials and anesthesia. This last time no materials just anesthesia. If you haven't had your surgery yet def talk to them in advance to see how they handle complications. Some PS' have a window of 1 year. Its been over 2 years for me and hopefully this was the last one.

Hopefully you will recover quicker now. What size implants were they before?
