WORTH IT$8,500
Hi ladies, Im 3 days po from having my 265cc over the muscle cohesive gels removed and a lollipop lift was also performed.
The pain has been more than I expected, but I'm taking percocet every 4 hours and it's manageable. I was waiting 6 hours and tried to cut my perc in half, well, I don't recommend that! You heal better when you are comfortable.
This compression sports bra is digging into my shoulders and is really uncomfy! I've taken a peek and my boobs are nice and perky, but I'm definitely afraid as to the nightmare I can't see under the dressings. I get to shower today! Yaaaay! Which may be difficult bc I can't lift my arms above my head. May need my husband for that. How the heck am I going to brush my hair too? It's long, and so far it's been in a bun on top of my head.
Anyway, day 3 much better than day 2. I slept through the night, which makes all the difference in the world. I'd just like to say, that I look so much better without my huge 34 DD's. I've missed my B's. My follow up appt is Wed, and I think the bandages come off *eeeeek*

I had that lift when I had my BA and it was painful for the first few days. You should start feeling better soon. I actually went back to work at day 10 and felt ok just tired. Glad you're happy with the explant tho.

I've tapered the Percocet to 1/2 a tab every 6-7 hours. Though right now I'm feeling quite uncomfy. I did feel much better today though. :)

Hi got explanted 275 saline under muscle with the entire capsules removal & full 2nd lift on 09/20(1st with BA was in 1999)and still in a lot of pain.I stopped Percocet on 3rd day because i was itching like crazy,but continued Valium+ibuprofen +Ice packs and slept through first 5 days unstoppable-it helped .I did not explained at work why i needed a week off and had to go back to work on 09/27 -What an idiot i am!!OMG- it was only for a few hours but i was so tired ............

Congrats on your explant. There's no way I could return to work 1 week po. I'm still pretty sore 5 days po. I go back to the dr tomorrow for my follow up. Hopefully I'll be able to take Advil. I hate narcotics.

you look amazing I want to expant too! Did your PS remove your capsules as well? I have downsized a few times and I feel still too big so Im about to just explant and get another lift and be done with it! You look great CONGRATS

Thanks so much! I also downsized before my explant. I'm really happy I actually took the plunge. I'm very sore right now, I must've over done it.

Im sure your sore and surgery takes a toll on one's body! I always get easily tired after surgery, take plenty of naps and no lifting!!! You really do look great!! High tight perky boobs I know you love them!!!

Hi ladies,
Still having pain and napping in the afternoon. I'm hoping to be back to my normal routine soon.
My po appt went really well! I was afraid to look down when the tape dressings were changed, but I did and they look so good! Bruised and still a bit swollen but not raw hamburgery from the lift like I thought. I'm so glad I did this.

How are you doing? After seeing your post op explant pics Im scheduled next week to discuss my explant, Im nervous because Ive already had 2 freggin lifts and not sure what in the world these [RS bleep] will look like!! Keep us posted do you feel lighter? I have 380 cc's in gel Sientra and want them out Im tired and over the implant ride...

Hey, I'm doing pretty good. I still have throbbing pain in my left and swelling. I get my stitches out thurs. I have tape-like dressing covering my incisions so I have no idea how it looks right now. At my 1 week po I saw them and I was in awe at how well everything is healing. I hate this sports bra and I want to burn it! Lol
I feel much lighter and look so much better without my huge boobs! No regrets!

Just came across your story and am wondering how your feeling? Hope you are loving your new & healthy body! Keep us posted on your recovery. If u feel comfortable it would be great to c pics as im schedule for an en-bloc explant and lift a week from today and have found that it helps me prepare to c pics.
Congrats on getting explanted!
How did the shower go? Did you feel a millions times better afterwards?
Nap well earned!! ;)
