My right boob now is kind of weird. I mean they are both even but I noticed that the implant does not move as free as the left which previously had the capsule.
The right nipple is also flatter at the bottom but Dr. Kim says that it should start filling in once I start to heal and the implant drops a little more. That's the part I don't get. How much more will it drop since the pocket was already created? I'll ask him this on my second visit which is coming up next wk on the 8th.
I believe I am still the same size, just managed to gain some cleavage. I compared the previous photos and see that there's not much of space in between now,,,, which I like. I don't mind being the same size. I used to buy 32c bras and fit them perfect. I also had 32D bras too because they were also very comfy. Well I still fit the 32D bras but the C bras are a little snug. I've bought some thin wireless bras that do the same thing that the sports bra did which was support and hold my breast in place and have been wearing them to work when I don't want the appearance of a sports bra.
Even though my boobs aren't too big and definitely unoticable at work, I can see eyes on my boobs from time to time. My nipples are definitely more sensitive ,,, strangely like that. But because they are sensitive, you can see my nipples a little under my clothes. That's probably why I see eyes there,, and it makes me even more nervous.
No pain really, and I don't lift anything heavy. Still try not to use my arms too much too. Altogether, doing great just a little paranoid. I've been taking vitamin e and some scar meds.
Btw, I really like DR. Kim and his staff.
Capsulectomy ... If I spelled it right.
Went in 6am pretty nervous but once you're in, you fall asleep and wake up in bandages. Hun drove me home and I was asleep on and off and weirdly enough, I didn't need to take my pain meds. I was in bed the rest of the day and sleeping but kept on waking up because I kept losing oxygen. I stopped breathing a few times and that's what kept me waking up. I remember this from last time because the nurses kept waking me up because they said I wasn't breathing. Not sure why. Maybe the anesthesia. Not a big deal. The next day my hub drove me to doc's office and they removed my bandages. Weird. I didn't really look swollen and my boobs were right where they were last time. Oh, did I mention I replaced my 339 for 375. Not a huge change,, look quite the same really but atleast I have a new pair.
Today would be my 4th day post surgery and I'm completely able to drive and move around. But I'm not raising my arms above my head and lifting anything.
My left boob which is the boob that had the capsule removed feels a lot free-er than my right and both boobs are soft and squishy.
Before when I would bend forward, I could see a little rippling and also feel the ripples because of how skinner I am. But now, I don't see the rippling and neither do I feel them. And the weirder thing is, they feel better than how they did before.
Only thing is, I can't stop looking at them and now I noticed that the left one,,, which is the one with the capsule removed maybe a tad lower than my right. ,, but also I can hear fluid when I massage in a circular motion.
I emailed the Doc but he said it's all normal. I am still overly paranoid because I'm scared of getting a capsule again.
He actually recommended for me to get the textured silicone implants with some type of pig skin or animal skin on top so I won't feel rippling but I didn't want to spend the money.
They said it was more costly but it has a lower risk of capsular contraction.
And it's a little more firmer.
I got the smooth round silicone moderate plus.

I liked him a lot. He's realistic and I respect him for being upfront and honest. Maybe a little too upfront and honest. He explained the risk and complications, blah blah blah and showed me a few silicone implants. He also mentioned that I'll have more surgeries ahead of me if I do decide to get the breast augmentation. He actually examines your breast not like other surgeons who just take a quick peak and say, "oh wow, your breast are still perky after 2 kids" I found him on this site because I clicked on a few photos that looked like natural breast and it was all linked to him. The photos are proof that he does a great job. His photos on his website are all consistent with each other ... I mean they all have the same look. This is important because it says he uses the same technique every time he does the surgery. ( breast aug) When I was at his office, a girl that just had her breast done was there complaining of capsular contraction. He prescribed her medication to relieve it. And at the the time, my husband and I were not on the same eye level. He walked out of the room because he didn't agree with me having the operation. I saw the girl again in the elevator. She said that I should get my breast done because it was worth it.. Even having her minor capsular contraction. Here I am 2 wks post...He did an amazing job. I'm very happy with my results!
