I’m on my way to surgery right now! My history is that I had my initial BA surgery in 2013 by another plastic surgeon in the area. Unfortunately, I was botched and had to go through another surgery because my right side never drooped. That surgery resulted in me having a “double bubble” because the pocket was made too low.
Long story short, I found a wonderful new surgeon who believes he can remedy the issue. I was going to wait a while to have another revision done, but once I found out I had the textured Allergan implants linked to BIA-ALCL, I wanted them out and replaced. Thought it was the perfect time to relate them and hopefully get rid of my double bubble!
I am scheduled for surgery today and will post updates when I’m done!

Everything went well with surgery! My surgeon replaced my 322cc implants with 415cc implants. In addition, on my right side, he used a seri mesh to give the implant more support, like an internal bra.
Felt great after surgery, but definitely was more
sore the next morning (which I expected). Unfortunately, last night (post op day 1), I began to feel chilled, had a sore throat along with body aches. Want sure if the sore throat was from the intubation tube or if I came down with an illness. My temp was 101 at the highest.
I called the nurse line and they said to monitor it and if it was strep, the antibiotics that I am on should help with it.
Woke up thIs morning (post op day 2) still with some body aches. Temp was 99.7. Took some of my pain meds and am feeling better now, but I will continue to lay low today and monitor my temp.
As far as I can tell through my surgical bra, “the girls” look great! I haven’t taken the bandage off yet, but will probably do that this evening.
Praying this fever goes away and isn’t a sign of infection!
