1 Month down...a lifetime to go.
It has been 1 month and things couldn't be better. Yesterday I had my checkup appointment and the last bit of tape was removed. I was incredibly happy to have the tape removed because I was so ready to shower. Shallow bathing was getting old lol. I still have the tape on my incision sites which will remain there until they come off on their own with my showers. Seriously, I showered for over an hour yesterday! My breasts no longer have sharp pains but the lower half of my breasts are still a little numb. They are also filling in nicely and the skin is really bouncing back. I was also given the go-ahead to run and I am able to do LIGHT chest exercises. Pretty much, life is good and I could not be happier post-explant! :):):)
3 Weeks Post-Op
Today marks 3 weeks post implant removal. Things are going very well. Still wearing steri-tape and have my next checkup a little over a week from now. The only issue I have currently is not being able to work out to my full potential. I also have to avoid sweating to keep my tape dry. I am keeping my activity level to a minimum because I do want the best results possible with my capsulorrhaphy. My pain is non-existent and my breasts are beginning to look even better. I feel that they have filled in a little bit more as well. STILL happy with the decision to get rid of my implants and feeling more and more like my self everyday. :)
BANDAGES ARE OFF!
Today has been a great day! I went to my appointment thinking I would have SOME of my bandages removed. Daisy and Dr. Pousti removed some of my bandages and determined I was healing nicely and only needed some of the tape that would help my skin to bounce back. Today was also the first day that I got to see my breasts. I was unsure how I would feel and how my breasts would look; however, this site has helped me have somewhat of an idea how they would probably look and I am thankful for that. My breasts were not full and they were smaller than when I had breast implants BUT that did not matter! Words cannot fully express how relieved and happy I felt when I saw them. It was like a weight was lifted off my chest (no pun intended :)). My joy was then increased when the doctor told me I was free to continue working out as long as I avoided chest specific workouts. Hallelujah! The first thing I did was go to the store and buy some tight sports bras and then I went straight to the gym. I felt so comfortable with my natural breasts. This was the first time in a long time that I didn't feel ridiculous going to the gym because of my "huge" boobs. There as no better feeling than being all natural. I know it may not be that way for everyone but it is just right for me. I have my next appointment in 3 weeks and we will see how my breasts change. I am very glad I made this decision and thankful for the people at Dr. Pousti's office who made it all possible. *sigh of relief* :):):)
Provider Review
Dr. Pousti is extremely professional and takes pride in his work. He asks all the right questions and makes sure he knows exactly what you are trying to achieve. I never once felt pressured to get any procedure I did not want.
