30 Year Old with Two Kids. Removing Deflated Implant. 300cc to 400-450. Atlanta, GA
ORIGINAL POST
So around October my right breast developed a leak...
$1,500
So around October my right breast developed a leak and within a month fully deflated. Obviously, I have Saline. The year prior to that I was in a car accident and I didn't pay my boobs much attention since I was pregnant. I had developed a fold in the implant from the seatbelt. It was downhill from there. I breastfed my daughter for 7 months and the right breast always hurt. It had a bump where the fold was and the implant projected further out than the left. It was a relief when it deflated and I've had no pain since. I'm a little worried about how he right breast will do after surgery. My original BA was November of 2008 and I had no issues with the girls before that wreck. I went with 300cc and I have a 14mm breast so my boobs never looked even slightly big. I went to a C cup from a B cup. I'm gonna go with either 400cc or 450cc this time. I'm sticking with Saline. I'm just not comfortable putting liquid, gummy, or any type of silicone that could leak or gel bleed in my body. The right breast is covered by the warranty so I saved $1500 on this surgery. YAY.

Tomorrow is the Day!
Nervous and excited... The medication alone is enough to make me have a nervous bladder. LOL
Soma, Morphine, Loratab, ke flex, phenergan, etc...
I am gonna avoid the Morphine... If I can.
I'm first for surgery, which is awesome cuz I can't stand not eating for long. I'm scheduled for 7:00 am.
We settled on Naturelle Saline 450cc and 480cc for the left side. Going with moderate profile.
WISH ME LUCK!

Just don't forget that the shell of all implants are made from silicone. Did they check you carefully for mold after your "deflation"/rupture?

Day of treatment
1day post op
Well the pain is a little more than I expected. I am supposed to take morphine (15mg) every 4 to 6 hours. And I am needing it before the four hour mark. They also gave me Loratab and I'm tempted to try those. It's almost time for my muscle relaxer and I hate that it makes me sooooo tired and my eyes get really heavy. I'm also takin phenergan for any nausea but I've had none. I may skip it this time since phenergan can make you tired too. All I've done is sleep.
So Dr. Colgrove and is staff were super awesome. I know Amanda and the anesthesiologist were so sweet and caring.
Dr.Colgrove told me he would tack my right nipple up some because it was much lower. That combined with the fact that my right implant had deflated, thus making my pocket shrink has my right side in agony. I also have drains... They aren't accumulating much. I don't know if that's bad or good. I 'milked' them a few times to make sure they don't clog.
That is all for today
Over and ouch
I mean over and out

Welcome, and thanks so much for sharing! So glad your warranty has covered your implant :) Are you going back to the same surgeon?
