53 Y.o. W/ 18 Y.o. Implants - Just Got Them out !!

Finally got the 2nd drain out, what a relief!! Off all meds now, too. Still in pain, esp on right side...a soreness kind of like when you've worked out way too hard at the gym. Tried to do a bit of housework yest and it made me more sore. Lesson learned ; )
Overall, pretty satisfied with the results...just hoping for a little more fluffing. My right side is a bit smaller, but whatever. Excited to go bra shopping. H&M and Forever 21 have some great ones, for super cheap.
The positive changes I've noticed so far include: greater range of motion in arms, shooting/stabbing pains are drastically reduced, easier to sleep on sides. Aesthetically: body looks more youthful & sleek, clothes fit better.
I'm so curious to see what the next week or two bring!!

Doc only removed one drain yest, b/c my right side (the troubled side) is still a pink color fluid : / He said better to play it safe, since it could create those nasty fluid pockets, which could also get infected. When you explant w/o replacing, you're basically left with a large open area (where the implants once took residence), which is prone to lots of fluid accumulation, which is why you need drains.

I'm kind of antsy, b/c those drains make it hard to sleep...it's like sleeping with 2 pencils at the sides of your boobs. Anyhow, at least I can sleep on one side now. Don't mean to whine, just letting you know what can possibly happen.

Will post pics after last drain is out. Everything still looks the same, though!

The first 3 days post-op I was feeling better than I anticipated, but rather zoned out from the meds, and slept a lot. Now my body's detoxing from the anesthesia. Woke up at 3am to a wicked headache & restlessness. Along with arnica, I'm taking phosphorus homeopathics to help with detox, but I'm feeling extra sluggish today. No big deal but just thought I'd give a heads-up to others, that I think this is a natural reaction.
I can really sense the drains poking me now, too... ouch. Doc says if fluid drops down to 15ml/day, I can get drains out early. I've been averaging about 25ml/day.
Pre-op, I had made a long list of all of my implant-related illnesses/annoyances, and will be curious to see how many things clear up over time. That stabbing/burning feeling is almost gone, so that's a good start! Will post any other improvements over time.
Aesthetically, I think I look ok. I'm an A-cup and the shape looks pretty good, just praying they get a little bigger. I'm using calendula on the scars, and traumeel + arnica on the entire breast area. As a result, I have zero bruising on my chest. I've been using an almond/olive oil salve all over my chest, which has probably reduced the chances of any stretch marks.

Q: how long until I can start to do the massage thing? I know that the tissue is trying to heal & re-attach to the chest wall, so I don't wanna mess that up!
Q: has anyone tried that Noogleberry device (supposed to help w/ growth)? I know I'm supposed to feel grateful that I'm healthy, and I DO....however, just wishing for a bit more.
Q: between swelling reduction and fluffing over time, what are the typical results over, say, a year's time?
Appreciate any advice!!
