Hey y'all, just a quick update. I hadn't been on for a while because after I visited my PS on that second post-op visit where I thought I was gonna get aspirated, he decided I didn't have enough fluid and it was too early to treat me. So basically he decided to wait it out and watch it, make sure it doesn't get worse.
Idk if you can tell but I definitely have anxiety about things and it was tough for me to see the abnormality and not want to fix it or worry but after that visit I figured I may as well relax and stop worrying since he says everything looks otherwise good and healthy. I finally also realized I'd rather look how I do now than ever go back to having implants anyway so after I came to that conclusion, I was a lot more OK with everything. I still have an appointment next Monday to see how things are and if we'll need to aspirate so I'll update after that.
Otherwise things HAVE actually improved as far as the weird bubble underneath and everything which is awesome because that worried me a lot but I do still have the indentation. I'm still quite early after surgery, tho so following doctor's orders and staying patient. :)

So I went to see Dr. K today and we addressed my concerns. He does believe there is fluid build-up and he suggested we may need to drain it if it doesn't improve on its own. He suggested more compression which I am going to keep doing. I originally told him I would schedule the next appointment for Monday (to drain it if necessary) because I thought it would be wise to give it a little more time but he stated we could meet Thursday as well and I'm thinking I might move it up. The more I research and look it, the more concerned I'm getting. I am still happy with him and think he is a skilled and great doctor but I also know sometimes things don't go perfectly with the body and it seems this is one of those times. I am just worried that it won't improve much and my left boob will simply always look wrong. There's an odd dent in it that I don't like and what appears to be double-bubble beneath (which I thought was only on implants?)...I don't mind being flat and I CERTAINLY don't want any more implants but I was just hoping they would at least look normal. I know it's not terrible and I am still glad I went through with it, I am just worried and feeling a bit discouraged.
Anyway, wanted to update with pics at least for today and I will post again after the next appointment. Wish me luck!

I have the same proportions as you and am scheduled to have mine removed on May 1st. They were very droopy and had stretch marks before the implants were put in 7 years ago. The left one has been causing me pain for the past year and a half. It feels weird to touch from the outside too. I'm kinda happy to have a reason to get these out. Sleeping is uncomfortable and these 32 DDDs don't look right with these skinny legs. So looking forward to explant. I hope the bump on your left breast is an easy fix of removing some fluid like the doctor said.

Thank you, so do I! I actually just got off the phone with the office and moved the appointment up to Thursday. I also posted a question on Real Self to see what other doctors might say. Anyway, I'm happy for you that you're getting your explant as well! Very soon now. Are you getting the capsules removed too?

Well done for doing this for yourself. I guess the thing is just to see how you heal and settle and then see if you want to do anything to fix any left over issues. Take care of yourself!

That's exactly right. I'm still happy I did it and feel no regret, just hope things improve. Thank you! :)
