I had my first BA done in May 2020. I went with 470 cc UHP round, submuscular. The healing process took a long time. I wasn't entirely happy with the results and had requested a revision but my original dr wouldn't consider this option until at least 6 months. Here are some before pictures. I was a 32A.

Here are the first pictures of the 470 cc UHP implants that I got May 2020. 3 days post op. Riding high, tight chest, a lot of pressure.
The pain sucked but it wasn't as bad as I expected. Muscle relaxants helped a lot.

I've labelled each picture with the various timelines of healing. It definitely took longer for my implants to settle fully, but being athletic I was advised this would be the case. I was not happy with the implants final position, they were never even, one fell far towards the armpit.

Dr. Ghurani is AMAZING. He went in and corrected/partially closed the pocket on the one side, released the pec muscle on the one side to provide better implant placement and more cleavage, he took some skin off the outside bottom of the breast and stitched some internal mesh in order to keep the implant in the correct spot. That also fixed the incision location so it does fall in the crease now. The left side wasn't revised as much so that incision remains slightly higher than it should but the implant pocket was not an issue so we decided not to touch it. The right side definitely hurts more and is swollen and painful. The left side felt like nothing at all, slight pain the day after but I was up and walking around the day of surgery and felt ok.

Healing update and incision update. Right side still sore, left side seems totally fine. Left side implant feels soft and squishy and the right is definitely still hard to touch and the chest pec muscle is very sore still. I can't bend over without discomfort. Overall, super happy with the revision but starting the think maybe I should have gone bigger. Boob greed is real, ladies!

Today marks 2 weeks post op. I am super happy with how they are looking so far. The right one is still riding high and swollen and I have to admit, the pain on that side is still fairly prevalent but I have been down to Advil/Tylenol combo for the past 5 days now. Surgical tape is still on but I will attempt to remove it tomorrow so I can check out the incisions.

So, I have developed a double bubble on the left implant which is getting progressively worse and will require revision but Dr. won't do the surgery until at least a year...it looks terrible and is starting to give me some anxiety. The right side is great and seems to have healed perfectly.
