My revision update!

WORTH IT
Hi ladies! I know it's been a minute it will be a year November since my BR! But since then I did have a revision done last month sept 30th.. Everything is healing well so far..I didn't want to get the revision and start the healing process over but I felt like my breast where still kinda big!! I could fit some dd's and I don't want to be a double anything! Lol.. Also my right side was slightly bigger than the other one when all the swelling went down..lastly although my nipples where nice size and round they where just place a little high for my taste! So now they are about a c or small d cup, they are even, and my nipple place looks great.Although i chose a revision I have no ....regrets what so ever!.. I enjoyed the summer with my new clothes,sundresses, and swimwear.
My advice to anyone having the surgery or revision.. Be very direct and clear about what you far as size ,nipple placement,shape..etc... They are your breast and you have to live with them! Happy healing ladies!
* oh and the scarring isn't that bad just take care of your self it will be fine :)

Hi ladies! Sorry for the late update...I have been crazy busy since surgery,trying to play catch up,and i move to another state! so here we are! lol...it's been about three months and I am pleased with results so far...I still have swelling so one is slightly bigger than the other still...can't wait till this goes away!
Now the healing so far is going ok..Seems like my body changes from day to day...week to week! It's crazy...you definitely have to be patience throughout the changes..the only thing I have use so far is 100% coco butter..I massage it in after I shower...the scarring is healing..but it's only been 3 months..going to start using the silicion strips also..has anyone tried these out???
So far loving the new me, love shopping,feeling lighter,and working out more..well ladies happy healing and for the newbies trying to decide..say a little pray and go for it! I will up date soon! Any advice or questions are always welcomed:)

Was your surgery done in a surgery center or hospital?
February 22, 2013
Hi...it was done at a surgery center..close by my doctors office...very nice and professional..I went home the same day...
February 22, 2013
How is a surgery center different from a hospital? Do they have all the equipment for if something goes wrong?
February 23, 2013
Yes they have everything! just like a hospital inside...think some hospital they let you stay over night..there is really no need to...when is your surgery
February 23, 2013
It's the first full week in may. My biggest concern is the anesthesia. I'm terrified of it knowing it's risks.
February 24, 2013
Yes...I felt the same way! I was nervous...but seriously...one minute I was talking to the nurse about all the cute shirts I was going to buy and the next thing I know ..I was in recovery! It goes so fast..lol

Did you have to pay anything up front before your insurance kicked in or will you be billed later?

wow its saturday already! five days post op.. yesterday was my worst day by far! I was votmitting and feeling really hot. I think it had alot to do with the constipation! I have only gone once since the surgery and my tummy looks like a thanksgiving turkey! lol..cant wait till thebloating goes away.. I feel a little better today and the swelling is going down.. I must admit i have had a couple moments were I feel like the are so small or what have I done! but I think being on these heavy drugs had contributed to that..lol.. overall I am pleased with the result.. and the back/shoulder pain is gone! yaaa.... get I will rest for now...any recovery advice is apperciated and welcomed! happy recovery ladies:)

R u taking laxative?? If not get u some mirolax and drink lots of water so ur tummy will get better!! Happy healing!!

I know the medicine that you take would give you constipation. I didn't have constipation b/c they told me to take a stool softer and mirolax/dupulax 3days before the surgery. That way I would not have constipation. You have to drink A LOT of water while taking the constipation medicine. Also, I vomited maybe 4times, but that was when I woke up after surgery that day only. I took a depository to stop me from vomiting and I didn't vomit anymore at all. I really suggest you doing one depository and you should stop vomiting. Hopefully this helps. It may be weird.lol. but it will help. It was prescribed to me when I left the hospital.
I want to say I had hiccups every time I ate something too, but it was for two days, and it was short hiccups. but maybe you will not have the hiccups

Stool softner with added stimulate (laxative) is going to be your friend. When i was taking the pain meds i would take 3 yo 4 stool softeners a day (one with each pain pill). No constipation. Also drink LOTS of water. I get about a gallon a day. Get rest when you can. Happy healing

Rest, pain meds, ice packs, patience, and Milk of Magnesia will get you through this:)
Hang in there it will all be fine in time.

When I first went to the loo after taking senakot for two nights I was sick at the same time! Thankfully the sink was close by. I felt bloody awful and didn't wanna push in case my boobs popped! I know that this won't happen but that is how it feels because they are so tight with swelling. It will pass, the turkey tummy syndrome isn't pleasant either. You start to think 'man they could've warned me about that!' xx
