Yes I will be more than happy to pay some pictures when I get them. They are going to put my implants in a week from today. Them I will have to go back in 3 months and have nipples made. So far I have been very pleased with the results but I have an awesome doctor.
What kind of implants did you get this time? They have the new & improved silicone ones and everyone seems to recommend them. I am scared to death of them. I am having my implants put in on the 16th of this month. I am going with saline but my doctor keeps recommending the silicone. Just don't feel like they are for me.
They are the most amazing people I have ever met. I will be having my expanders removed on the 16th of April and my implants put in. I just love Dr. Wilson and both Nancy's and Irene. They have been so good to me throughout this battle I have been through with my cancer and all. I am so glad that you like them. He will do a GREAT job. Good Luck & God Bless...
I am getting ready to have my expanders removed and can't decide if I want saline or silicon. If you don't mind me asking what size are the silicone ones that you got ? My doctor is recommending the 800 cc for me. I was a D before my double mastectomy and that is what I would like to be again. I have 900 cc in my expanders now and they are the perfect size. Any advice or help with this would be greatly appreciated...
I had my drains for 17 days and trust me you don't want them to take them out too early. I had one that came out in 7 days because I pulled it loose. That wasn't good because fluid kept building up in there and it caused me to have an infection. You really don't want that to happen. The infection caused me to have to have my expander remove right on the right side. So just be patient and let that drain do its job it will all be worth it in the long run. I go to a counselor and that may be something you may want to consider doing. I was just so depressed from all of this. I know it is hard for you with you just having a baby and thin breast cancer as well. Maybe you should ask your OBGYN to recommend someone. Get you a fanny pack and put that drain in it. I didn't take the Valium at all I was afraid I would get hooked on them. If you need to talk I could give you my number....let me know..
