My first boob job was over 10 years ago, everything went well but after pregnancy my boobs looked strange and separat so I booked a consultation. I didn’t want a lift because I was afraid of big scars, and the doctor told me I would have to go big if I want to see a lift. I went for the surgery without those pressure socks, I was told I could continue to smoke onky have to smoke less and I only got 1 shot of Clexane afterwards, so I had a pulmonary embolism, can I still have boob job? Too big :(
