Everything is already beginning to fluff out a bit and healing has gone super fast! Little less than 3 weeks I can be back to my gym and lifting as normal for the most part. I’ll go for another checkup at that 3 week mark and again at 8 weeks post op.

I am feeling great! I meet with my dr this afternoon for my post op appt but so far I’m extremely pleased with my results. I have not had any severe pain and didn’t need any of my medication, just a few Tylenol here and there. Can’t wait to see how they look in a couple months!

That’s great to hear! You look great and it’s all you! I’m 6 days post op too and I’m feeling great. I have so much more energy and my breast have bounced back so nicely. This is the happiest I’ve been in years. I’m still sleeping on my back (I’m a side sleeper) so that’s annoying but interestingly I’m not getting back pain anymore and I’ve lost 5 lbs since my surgery. My implants weighed 3lbs total! Strangely, I’m not craving sugar anymore? Also, my skin looks a lot better and the whites in my eyes look whiter.

So far I feel so much better! I have a little pain where my incisions are but overall I’m feeling great. I haven’t had to take any pain meds and I was pleasantly surprised how they looked for being the very first day when I went to shower. I know it’ll get better and better!

You look amazing! Wow, you have so much breast tissue. They will fluff out, trust me. They also look symmetrical. How are you feeling?

Thank you! I feel really good about how he did everything! I’m feeling really good today, a little pressure towards the underside near incisions but not terrible! How are you feeling today?

I’m feeling great, I’m just taking extra strength Tylenol and antibiotics. The breast that had the ruptured implant for about 1 1/2 months is slightly smaller that the one that had the 1.5 implant. I’m hoping they become more symmetrical as I heal. It just makes sense that the one with the ruptured implant had weeks to retract so it’s “ahead” of the other breast which had the implant up until this week when I explanted. Other than that I’m so happy that without the implants I’m a full C and I never needed implants to begin with! If they are still asymmetrical after about 1 year post op, I may do the fat transfer. Where do they take the fat from? Does the fat stay put in the breast area once it’s transferred or do you have to keep doing it?

Wow you look great! It doesn't look like you even needed breast implants in the first place. Is most of the volume in your breasts natural breast tissue or from the fat transfer? How does the site on your hip where the doctor extracted the fat feel? Is there any deformity at the site? Did he say what percent of the fat you can expect to be absorbed by the body over time? Good luck with your healing!

Thank you! I had more breast tissue than I thought, he just put a little in the underside where my implants had bottomed out and caused some hollowing. He mostly took from my outer thigh and it is very smooth. The fat retention will be very good unless I lost a drastic amount of weight.
