56yr Old Going in for Revision to Update my 27 Year Old Silicone Implants - Melbourne, FL

One month Post Op

WORTH IT$7,950
I saw Dr O. yesterday and got a good report card. Everything is healing well and the incisions look great, very smooth and just a little red. I have been instructed to lightly massage the incisions twice a day. I have been cleared to begin working out again which is great, and I know that I need to listen to my body and not push things! I have also been cleared to wear regular bras, so I will begin by "breaking them in" and wear them for shorter durations to see how they feel on me. I don't want anything rubbing on the incision right now and I don't think I'd be comfortable in anything that really pushes on the new girls!
I had been shopping for new bras last week and based on the measurements at the store I'm a 34 DDD, however I was not able to find any wirefree bras in that size, so I tried on a 36DD and hooked it tight. This seemed to fit, but I was surprised at how challenging it was to find "cute" bras in the larger cup sizes. Prior to the revision I was a small 36C and I had lots of bra options, now I'll have to work a little harder in finding the cute bras but it was worth it. I now feel like my boobs suit the rest of my frame!

Time to Update 27year Old Implants

I felt it was time to update my old implants so I did my research and found Dr. Oppenheimer. Going in to surgery we weren't sure what condition the old implants would be in. Fortunately for me the right was still intact, however the left had ruptered but it was contained within the capsule. Dr. O. did his magic and removed the old capsules and inserted the new implants! I am so happy and relieved to have new and improved implants, plus they look great!

Post Op - Day #16

Still healing but I feel great, just anxious to be able to start "doing" things again. At my one week post-op appointment I had my sutures removed and Dr. O said everything looked really good. Dr. O. mentioned to us that he had removed the old scar tissue (from the first BA) and the new incision was doing great. He then asked if I wouldn't mind having steri-strips reapplied over the incision, which of course I didn't. I'm assuming this may help in the recovery of the incision sight, or have some other benefit with the healing of the scar. My husband said the incisions look great and I'll take his word for that. I'm anxious to start shopping for new bras, however I'm staying in the sports/surgical bras until I get the clearance / go ahead to move into a conventional bra.

I know I was nervous, initially going into this revision, however after getting to work with Dr. Oppenheimer and his staff I knew I was in great hands, and I could leave everything up to him and stop worrying! I know I'm only a little more then two weeks post op, but so far everything has gone great, no issues with nausea, pain, range of motion hasn't been an issue all is well!

I have attached a few more pictures which show the girls now.

Looking awesome!!!!!
Thanks, so are yoy still being a good patient and wearing your surgical bra? I'm hoping at my one month I will get cleared to wearing conventional bras! That us one thing I never really asked Dr O. So when is your 1 month follow up and how is everything going fie you?
I can wear anything but underwire. I went online and found a surgical bra with smaller straps and cheated with that one because I couldn't even wear tank tops!! But now that I am cleared, I just ordered wayyyy too many bras from Victoria's Secret!! I found some cute wireless ones from body by Victoria line!!
You should call up there and see if he will allow you to wear some simple wireless bras! Ohhhh also, I didn't know if this happened to you, but does it feel like your skin is crawling? This is the first week that that feeling finally stopped!
Thanks!
My skin around the rib cage and side of my boobs was constantly itching....so not exactly "crawling" but very irritating!
WOW! You look GREAT!!!
Thanks, they really feel so soft and natural it"s unbelievable. I am 3 months post op so I should take a few new pictures and post. I can get a pretty nice clevage now, which I couldn't before!
