Hey everyone, i had my lift and new silicone implants put in on dec 20 so im exactly 4 weeks out of surgery! I have no pain at all but i have spitt a few stitches out and i have a wound on my right breast that is taking forever to heal. This is my 3rd boob job second lift! I had 2 sets a saline implants leak on me so this time i got the new silicone gel ones! I have to say i like these implants alot better! I read all ur posts about keepin it dry with no ointments or creams and at night i sleep braless and try to get as much air to that spot as possible! Some days i feel it looks better but then i take a shower and it softens my newly forming scab! I had my first lift (keyhole lift) w/ saline implants done when i was 24. It was a nightmare. I broke open in a tun of spots (partly my fault cause i smoked) and i felt like a monster. The dr. Also left some areola under my new higher nipple so i had a third nipple in my eyes. I became very anxious and stressed out. But i got through it and just learned to deal w/ my wide scars. A few years passed and my implant started to leak so i went to a very well known dr in my area and he said i didnt need a lift but he could laser my scars and the left over areola and put new implants in, i was very happy w/ the results! Well then about 2 months ago i notice my left implant was gettin very small and sure enough i went back to my dr. And my saline implant was leaking again, well this time i did need a lift (i had a baby) again and i was terrified to go through it again but kindof felt i didnt have a choice cause it was leaking so i went through w/ the inverted T style lift and got silicone beacuse i dont want anymore leaking saline ones. I know what u see at first is not what there goin to look like in the end result because it is night and day from day one to day 100 but i did everything right this time (havnt smoke in years) and i still have a spot thats giving me crap. Ive been crying a lil bit here and there because i just want it to heal up. It does look alot better beacuse of reading all ur posts and im doing the dryout method you all talk about but its so frustrating cause i really thought this wouldnt happen! Everything else looks great just that one annoying spot at the tension point on my right breast! Im hanging in there and my dr said everything looks great no infection at all and to just be patient cause it will heal. I have an amazing supportive husband who has stood by my side and had to pay for all these surgerys and he truely has made this process easier cause he helps me when i get down or anxious. But i feel bad for putting him through this again. I know the spot will heal and i know im gonna luv my boobs cause we tend to forget all the pain and issues when were all healed up but i wish it would hurry up and heal! Im so glad i found this website cause its nice to know im not alone. I thankyou all for sharing ur stories cause it makes me feel better after i read them. Wishing everyone the best of luck and a speedy recovery!
