Almost 52 Yr Old, 26 Yr Old Ruptured Silicone Implants Scheduled for Capsulectomy and Lift - Walnut Creek, CA

Its been quite awhile since Ive posted.....life has gone on and I never seem to have a camera around when Im naked! ha! For any of you riding the fence about whether or not to replace your implants, let me encourage you....I am SOOOOOOO happy that I had them removed and LOVE the feeling of my smaller softer breasts and being all me again. Symptoms that were bothering me have all gone away. The lift gave me the younger perky look that I can't remember ever having. I thought I was an A but at VS they measured me as a B. And seriously I do not even care....I love them! Healing has gone very well and they are coming along nicely. My nipple on my right breast is a little higher, which is what I requested, so I am hoping the other will raise a bit when all the stitches below release. but if not, that's ok, because nobody is perfect. The Dr is going to do a little lasering on the scars for me next week to help fade them out. I will also start using scar tape afterwards. by the current appearance at just under a month I know they will fade out and be great. My Dr is amazing. I am his FIRST EVER patient to not want them back in after removal, and Im proud of that. I am so happy to be the way God made me and free of those hard mounds on my body! I feel younger and my husband is very pleased and also says I look younger. So I say GO FOR IT! BE FREE!

Saw the doc this morning....the nurse took off the steri strips and doc said things lookin great. He was thrilled that im so happy. He said i will be the FIRST of his patients whos ever removed their implants and not wanted them back in! Can you believe that?!Healing is coming along nicely...faster than I thought, for which Im thankful. Drove yesterday and today, no problems. Arms are moving around fine. Still quite a bit of swelling on sides under arms. Energy levels normal. Im so happy with them and honestly feel a whole new kinda sexy! Was gonna update my photos but when I was upstairs and undressed, the phone was downstairs so ill take some tomorrow so you can see progression.

Ok, girls its Monday and the explant was Thursday. Feeling pretty good. No pain...just twinges along the incision lines every now and then. Not taking much of anything. Tylenol when I went to bed last night and again an hour ago just to keep the twinges at bay. I usually walk about 4 miles in the mornings so today I ventured out for a short 1 1/2 mile walk. slowly. No problems and the fresh air felt good. Just thanking God I am on the other side and for His healing.
I also went and tried on a few little tank tops.....wow do I look flat! Haha! But I LOOOOOOOVE IT! I feel sixteen again! And I feel like my body looks so much smaller overall now! Giddy with happiness!
Just wearing my Walmart sports bras that have hook and eyes in front round the clock since Saturday. They are comfy and were so inexpensive...and I recommend them.
I find myself waking up in the middle of the night having slid down off my mound of pillows and laying rather flat....so up I scoot and go back to sleep. I will tell you the BEST thing for sleeping was my little neck pillow...the kind for sleeping on cars and airplanes...it makes all the difference in the world. Make sure you get one if you are pre-op! Great for car on ride home too!
I see the Dr tomorrow and look forward to hearing what he says. Hoping he will let me take a shower cause so far its just been sponge baths...sitting in a few inches of water.
Kisses!
