Well I've been back at work this week. I have a sit down job but it feels like my tummy is going to bust open with pressure at times. Sitting up in that position for that long is still painful but reclining is oh so nice! Last Friday my ps reopened part of my incision on the left side and vacuumed the swollen area and restitched my drain that tore through. Needless to say it was pretty painful but necessary. It still burns to try to lay in the bed especially the new stitching area. I have stated draining some yellow fluid I was told was a good sign and its decreased alot today. Prayerfully Friday (25 days po) this drain will be gone. I never realized how intense and life altering this surgery would be. I'm no where nest feeling normal and I so badly want to lay in bed snuggling with my husband. I'm excited to know what healing tomorrow will bring as I do get stronger day by day and before you know it life will return to normal! Any healing advice is welcomed especially with the pressure and pain sitting upright so long at a desk

In 2011 I had a breast lift/aug preformed by a different Dr and practice which was done very poorly and requires to be completely redone. When I went to Dr Kirbo for a consult he gave me a realistic view of this surgery and took a lot of time with me to discuss the revision. He was cutting his fee in half for me bc he felt very bad for the cost I wasted and what he seen were my results. He didn't perform the first surgery but was willing to discount his cost and had no obligation to do so. I have multiple friends and family that have breast augmentation and cancer restructure from him and I'm impressed by his work. I learned from him you should always ask a plastic surgery facility what there revision policy is and if there is none you will pay for 100% of your revisions even with the first year. He stands behind his work and has a revision policy in place and explained this kind of procedure is a work of art and even though he may operate a certain way my body may not respond thy way resulting in a revision which he discounts.
