WORTH IT$13,000
I had a previous breast aug (saline 420 CC) and donut lift in 2002. After 2 pregnancies, fluctuation of weight, the weight of the implants, and my skin thinning, the implants were bottoming out and falling out of the pocket and down the chest wall. They would also fall to the sides when laying down. My scars were less than optional as my body had spit sutures during my recovery period of last surgery. I wanted cone shaped boobs with a smaller areola and more upper pole fullness. My goal was to go smaller, but through the process I realized I also had asymmetry that needed to be corrected. I ended up with 385cc on the left and 410cc to correct it. Recovery was not bad and I just took Tylenol for pain a couple days after the surgery. The galafex made for a slightly more difficult recovery (as it made my sides sore and was difficult to reach for things), but I do think it will be worth it long term. I am now 3 weeks post recovery and I am very pleased with the results!

Wow, it really sounds like your doctor covered every possible issue and then some! So glad your revision went well and that you're pleased with your results. You look great...congratulations! I love the idea of the Galaflex that you describe in your doctor review. Great idea! Will you wear a post op bra for many weeks/months? What about a bra to sleep in at night for a while? I'd love if you would comment on the the January 2017 breast implant revision surgery forum so other women can easily find your review. If the link does not work, you can type the forum title into the RealSelf search bar. Looking forward to your updates!

Sure, the PA did give me a bra that I am wearing 24/7 for 6 weeks. They also recommend taping the scars for a few months. I change them out every 5-7 days. They (along withe bra) help provide support and take tension off the scars so they heal as small as possible. With a full lift I know most people are worried about the scars, but with post treatment they can be very thin and almost fade if you take care of them. I am almost 4 weeks and can already see a big improvement from my first breast op with scars so do think tape is working.

That's awesome the scars are already fading. I'm sure your attentive care wearing the supportive bra and using the tape are helping. Good for you being so careful. Keep us posted as you continue to notice changes!
