Brave woman!! You look great. I used to have those breasts, but they all fell down! One is gone now. Horrible surgeon!

You look great! I am wanting to get mine out. They have been in for 26 years. I am north of atlanta. I found that the cost is about $7000 when all said and done. Was your about the same? How did you like your doctor?

I love my PS. I went to Dr. Bahair Ghazi north of Atlanta near Perimeter Mall area. I paid about $8,000 and it includes everything. No separate bills. The consultation was free. He has a great bedside manner. Made me feel safe and comfortable. Took time to answer my questions. Go see him. You will love him.

Dr. Ghazi did my breast reconstruction after my mastectomies and my daughters tummy tuck. He was fantastic, so compassionate and caring but most of all such a great surgeon! We were both so happy with our results. I tell everyone how great he is and how fortunate we were to find him. Your results look great too! So glad you are doing well.

You look great! Not that you looked heavy before explanation but you also look thinner now. Have you found weight loss easier now? I noticed in one of your previous posts that you are sensitive to hair color. I am a hairdresser and I became allergic to hair color also. There are organic colors that I've had very good luck with. In fact my hair just keeps getting shinier from it.

Just wondering what organic hair color you think is best. I just read on my developer that is contains Silicone!

The only brands that I know of would all be ones that you would get in a salon. I use Oway.

I just started back to working out a week ago. I have tons of energy, but still have to rebuild the muscle tone that I lost during the 4 weeks that I could not exercise. I won't ever go back to coloring my hair. It is just so much prettier without the color.

I have switched to a Coobie sports bra. Healing is going well. Stitches still bother me a little when exercising.

The brain fog is all gone. The rash on my back is gone. The blurry eyesight every morning is now gone. Don't know if it cleared up because of the explant or because of the antibiotics. I took Vitamedica before surgery and after the antibiotics were done, I took Ultrabiotics ( a probiotic). Never got a yeast infection and I usually do after antibiotics. Constipation is gone, constant thirst is gone. Constant peeing all day is now gone. Hope this helps.

They look great! Hard to believe you were a 34A prior to implant. I was a 34a and much smaller. He did a great job. They really look so much better and natural. Thanks for sharing!

You look amazing! I’m 3 days post op from Dr Ghazi after explant and lift. I feel great but the drains are driving me crazy and I’m much flatter than I expected! May I ask how many CCs were your implants?

Day 17 - 2nd Follow Up - Stitches Removed

User Avatar
hippiegirl3June 12, 2016
I had my 2nd Follow Up appt with PS. Had some stitches removed. Healing is going well. No fluid buildup. I had explant removal with lollipop lift. The implant was removed thru the vertical incision for the lift, so I do not have an incision under neath the breast. (I kept looking for the scar, but its not there).

I have dis-solvable stitches covered with surgical glue, so there is no tape covering the stitches. I like this because so many people are allergic to the tape. I probably would be.

I am wearing the Marena surgical bra that the PS put on me after surgery. I am still wearing the surgical bra 24/7. It makes me feel the most secure. If I wear a regular sports bra even for a few hours, the boobs get sore and have strange shooting pains. As soon as I put the surgical bra back on, it all goes away.

I go back for another follow up appt in 2 weeks. After that I can switch to a sports bra and exercise.

What I am wondering is, when does the fluffing appear? Is it after I stop wearing the surgical bra?
