Breast augmentation dual plane 355cc sientra gummy

After 8 years post explant, I missed the fullness of implants. I decided to have a dual plane sub muscular sientra gummies implanted with Dr. Bresnick. The previous ones were above the muscle. Dr. Bresnick and is staff were incredible. Due to two previous surgeries, I also used galaflex internal mesh to prevent bottoming out. I'm 4 days post op and sore despite experall and pain meds. All healing is going well and my sutures look great. It will be a while before I drop, but I can already tell I'm happy with the results.

I feel great. Here’s a breakdown of day by day.

Day 0: groggy and sore. A bit hard to move especially lifting up from 45 degrees to a full sit. Keeping my arms by my side and I’m all bandaged.

1DPO: lying down a lot. I have a constant soreness or burning sensation even with the meds, but it’s tolerable. I also went to the doctor for my first check up. Everything looked great. No bruising, no bleeding. The doctor put me in a bralette for coverage and gave me for a strap to help push down my breasts. They are a bit high right now.

2DPO: I walked around the mall for a couple of hours today. I couldn’t walk fast but I know I’m not supposed to. I just did a bit of shopping.

3DPO: I’ve been a bit more tired today in the morning. Friends came over to visit and we hung out into the night! Very limited with my arm motion and lifting. Also had my first shower. When I change my bandages, still no blood.

4DPO: Went to the bathroom (#2) for the first time since the surgery. It’s been days of miralax and stool softener. I’ve been bloated and afraid to push too hard because of the pressure I might have to use in my chest. Feeling better now that I could finally go.
Walked around a museum today, took the elevator instead of the stairs because I could feel my heart rate getting high.

5DPO: I went to my next follow-up today. Still have a bit of nerve pain. It’s getting more tolerable. If I move in a weird way, I can feel it in my chest. The doctor said it looked good. We adjusted the strap again and I learned the importance of wearing the back of it low on my back to help put pressure on the breasts to push the implants down.

6DPO: It’s tough to sleep but easier to sit up and hurts less overall. I’m itching to be able to get leg workouts or something in. I get my stitches out Friday and I’m going to see when I can workout again. Also excited for when these girls drop.

I’m including pics from this past week and wish pics.

I can’t believe how great I feel. Every day gets easier to move around my upper body. I’m still extremely limited and I’m doing so purposefully. I have the internal mesh which slows the process a bit. The mesh has to adhere and we can’t yet massage the breasts to help move down the implant. I wear the strap 24/7 except for showers. I just have to make sure I have enough in my wardrobe that covers the strap in the mean time! The breasts are dropping though. Because I also had a lift, the tissue is less giving. I go back for a follow up in 10 more days.

The hardest part is adjusting my diet because I am not burning as many calories as I was before the surgery. I was exercising 5-6 days a week. Right now I can walk from place to place but not as exercise. I feel good enough to but don’t want to ruin my surgical results.

Updated photos show scars healing and settling process. Looking forward to them settling (dropping and fluffing).
