scar strips, right breast still has scars from previous surgeries
3 1/2 months post implant removal
Hi Ladies!
I just wanted to give you an update on whats going on with my progress. Well first of all I'm still Sooo!! happy that I had my implants removed!! I don"t regret it for a minute!! As I said before, only that I didn't do it sooner!! I wrote in my last update that my breast crease was raised after being lowered by original implant surgery, well I think that was wish full thinking. Now that things are starting to settle in, that it's not the case, my left breast especially still has a tendency to fall out the bottom of my bra. Oh well, I just need to get over that! My Dr's did a wonderful job considering what they had to work with LOL. They said that after a year maybe I might want to consider trying to make an adjustment on the right side which still has a few scaring issues because of my previous implant surgeries and the growth (silicone leakage???) that had to be removed on the side of my breast. I really don know if I'm even going to deal with it. I'm so happy with how I look in clothes and so who really cares at 61 what I look like without clothes on except my Husband, who thinks I look fabulous haha! I do wear the silicone strips all day and then at night take them off, and apply sweet almond oil on my boobs to give them a little moisture. Im being patient about the scaring, my Dr. says the scars look good for this point in the recovery time. I am posting a few pictures so you can see where I'm at this time. I know my boobs are not perfect, but I love them!! I took a picture of me in a style of bra that I haven't! I been able to wear for 35 years!! I am so thankful for all of you who gave me support and encouragement through this time. You are all such amazing women and I see everyday that there are more and more women crossing to the other side. This website is truly an amazing testament to the bravery and resilience of all the women out there that have gone through this experience!
Blessings to you all!!

Drains out and feeling Great!!
Hi Ladies,
Well it was a great week! I got my drains out on Monday. Went to a party that night(several people asked if I had lost weight!!) and back to work on Tue! For those of you worried about having the drains removed, It didn't hurt a bit!! felt a little weird because I could feel the tubing being pulled through the breast but NO pain. I have been all week, lots of energy and minor discomfort, the hardest thing is just not going back to my regular activities. Im not supposed to lift my arms over my head and its uncomfortable to bend down and reach out like to scrub a floor or bath tub. Feeling like my house is a big mess haha! I love the feeling of lightness especially on a hot summer day! so wonderful not to have those big sweaty bags hanging off me, sorry to be so gross, but its true!! I"m really looking forward to going out and buying some new bras, I tried a few of my old ones on and just laughed, needless to say they all went into the trash! I have to wear a surgical bra or sports bra for 6 weeks. I also don't get my stitches out for 6 weeks, that was a little surprising to me :( but I am allowed to sleep on my stomach Yay!! I've posted a few pictures for you to see. I know they are not perfect, but Im thrilled. The Drs. and I had a couple of conversations before the surgery, because of the two previous surgeries there were certain things they were going to try their best to fix. One of my big issues was the repair of the symmastia They were able to make it better, but it can't be totally repaired. My other big issue was the the breast crease that had been lowered. Although they said there wasn't much that could be done about that, I think its defiantly higher and Im so happy. Im so glad this is all behind my, I was sooo stressed out for so long trying to make this decision, and at this point its one of the best things Ive ever done. Prayers and happy healing to all you who are thinking of removal, or have had it done. Let me know if you have any questions. and I'll keep you posted XOXOXO

Dr. Kryger listened to what I wanted and explained all my options without trying to push me into anything . Dr Kryger, his office staff, and surgical center staff were wonderful, very kind and attentive. I would highly recommend Dr Kryger! and the Speciality Surgical institute
