Breast Augmentation (210 moderate high BOOST) After Getting First Set of Implants Removed 3 Years Ago

I got my first set of implants (350 cc) in 2018. I am pretty petite so when I get pregnant with my first baby, they looked absolutely massive on me. On top of being uncomfortable in my own skin and feeling like I had to cover myself up all the time, I went down a BII rabbit hole on social media and convinced myself that my implants were making me sick (anxiety, brain fog, depression, skin issues). With hope in my heart, I got them removed in 2022. Spoiler alert: my symptoms did not go away. On a side note, I cut out gluten, dairy, and processed food earlier this year and all of my symptoms went away, just incase anyone wanted to try if you’re like me!

Anyway, because I had such little breast tissue to begin with, I was left with NOTHING. I couldn’t even push my skin up to make cleavage because I was so flat. And to make matters worse, my implants had bottomed out and the surgeon who took them out decided to make the incisions where they fell to which happened to be halfway down my ribs and are about 5/6 inches long in a half circle. So I was flat with 4 different ugly, visible scars. After 3 years of hating my body, I decided to get implants again. My surgery was today! I ended up with 210 cc moderate high BOOST implants. My surgeon said I needed the boost to get some shape back. I’m a little worried about the profile because I wanted moderate + but I have to trust his judgement. The BOOST implants come in moderate +, moderate high and high so I had the one that was right in between the lowest and the highest. So far, I feel pretty good and I’m very anxious to see what they look like tomorrow when I take my bra off.

I’ll add a couple of things he did that made it different than my first surgery.
He had to use mesh to help hold the implants in place and to give my body something to adhere to. And he also was able to remove the skin that was between my old implant scar and explant scar on both sides and make them into one. I am very eager to see how the scars look because they made me so upset that I could never cover them. I also forgot to mention that above the explant scar on my left side had a lump of breast tissue that my old implants pushed down and out of place. You could see it in any tight shirt I wore so I’m hoping that was taken out when he combined the scars. I will add a picture of me and a bra that I can’t wait to burn of my before and my after so far. This is the only bra that fit me before surgery from the training bra section that I added pads in to hide my nipples. If I’m feeling brave, I’ll add photos of what I looked like topples before the surgery. Wish me luck with seeing my new boobs for the first time tomorrow!

The second day was okay. I got to take a shower and see the new girls for the first time. They look pretty good but I’m still agonizing over the profile because I wish I could’ve gotten a lower profile. The scars are soooooo long. I expected this because I knew he combined scars on both sides so it wasn’t as big as a shock as when I saw the scars when I get an explant. I look forward to trying to make them as invisible as possible, please let me know if you know how to!!!

Day 3 was the worst day so far. I ran out of pain meds and was emotional about EVERYTHING. At this point, I’ve been in bed since the surgery and my back is killing me from sleeping and sitting on an angle.

Day 4 is much much better than day 3. I’m only taking Tylenol and I’m way less emotional. I’m trying to trust the process and be patient with the healing process. I’m so grateful for everyone who has come over to help me with my kids. Especially my fiancé, he’s been the best. I didn’t realize how boring it would be to sit in bed and watch shows all day. I’m pretty self conscious about the progress pictures but maybe I’ll lost them once things start to calm down. The scars are just so big:(
