This was my 2nd time for implants. The first was 30 yrs ago. Back then there wasn't as much info like there is today. I wasn't even sure what size I had. Last April (2021) I noticed one of my implants had ruptured. That is when I decided I needed to do something about my deflated boobs. I did alot of reading about journeys others have taken, and decided to jump in and and get mine started too. I called for a consultation, was told it wouldn't be for another 2 1/2 months, they were that busy. That date was 12/23/21. When I went for my consultation the dr said I wouldn't need a lift that just by putting in new implants in it would fill out my breast and bring my nipples up. I came home talked everything over with my husband, we agreed to go ahead with this dr. Date was scheduled for Mar 3rd for my surgery, Of course I let her know that I wanted to be on a cancellation list. Two days later she called back asked about Jan 21,22.. I jumped at it.
That day came, I had my surgery, old implants removed (both had been ruptured). Not in to much pain when I woke up. I'm not one to take drugs so wasn't wanting any opioid's. Glad I didn't get my prescription filled. Didn't need any, only took Tylenol two different times.My first PO was suppose to be the following wednesday, instead I got a call from one of the nurses that morning saying the dr had canceled all appt for the next 3 days, Not sure why. But I really wanted my drain tubes out (that's what hurt most) another nurse called me back and said she would meet me at the office and remove them for me.. yahooo !!So my first PO wasn't till the following monday. Dr said my tapes will start coming off in a week. But over all everything looked good.The following week my tapes started coming off in the shower, they bugged me so I took them off all the way. Few days after that I noticed that my incisions were pretty red and painful. Called the office, spoke to the nurse and she was able to squeeze me in. The dr took one look and said my incisions looked angry, he gave me a cream to put on twice a day until the redness was gone. Thank goodness that worked. I'm now 4 wks 4days PO. I go see the dr this monday that will make me 5 weeks PO. Righty is still looking very small. That will be a question for my dr. I will let you know what he says.

I went for my revised BA on 1.13.23 after a year letting everything heal inside due to all the cleaning my PS had to do after my old implants had ruptured. I ended up with 695cc (L) and 745cc (R) . My 520cc in my right side kept flipping upside down. I would have to bend over and turn it right side up. After my BA this Jan I had no drain tubes and no pain. I didn't even get my prescription filled. The swelling on top was gone in about 1 1\2 weeks. I am now 11 weeks PO. I don't believe I will fluff at all. I think they are exactly where they are going to stay. For the large size of implants that I have I am so small compared to alot of you ladies on RS. And that depresses me. I really can't tell the differences between what I have now to the 520cc's that I had last year. won't let me post a pic. I need to resize pic first.

3 months po from 1.13.2023 with 695cc in left and 745cc in rt. I still can't see the difference between my 520cc's that I had before what I have now. It depresses me. I probably won't have another BA, as I am older then most of the ladies on RS. So I will just have to learn to be happy with what I am now. I will wait until my 6 months to post anything else, hoping I will fluff at least some.

nothing has really changed. I will add pic's so you can see what I see when looking down. As I said earlier I am probably the oldest person on RS with a BA.
I also did go over the pectoral muscle. From day one on my BA done in 2022 as well as my revamp in 2023 I have had zero pain.
