8 weeks

Well it’s been 8 weeks on Monday. I’m doing well and will post photos of how things look so far. The only problem I have had so far is the left one holding fluid. My Doctor has had to drain it a few times and not sure if there’s fluid right now in it , and probably some. I can look in the mirror and see that one seems larger and it’s most likely fluid again. Having a needle inserted isn’t any fun but it feels better when the fluid is taken out. My incisions are Looking better but I know that has a ways to go. They are still somewhat raised but I know that will disappear eventually to a white line. I have been living in under armor longline bralettes and they are the most comfortable for my incisions. I’m feeling firmer than the first few weeks cause when I bend over in the shower I don’t feel like I have to hold on to them anymore. I know that sounds funny but at first the skin was loose of course. Last week I went into Victoria Secret but got frustrated and felt it was too soon ! My right breast has an area under the nipple I don’t
Like but hoping in time it gets better. The skin in my arm pit has also firmed up a lot . When I first came home I was freaking out wondering where the skin came from. But it looks so much better and still improving. I had capsular contracture so there was a lot of scar tissue he had to take out. My doctor did an amazing job , cause I really expected to look really bad after having the implants for 12.5 years. The implants were 300cc if you haven’t been following till now. They were over the muscle and put in through my nipple. They were hard and I hated them after a while. Didn’t want to be hugged to tight cause was afraid people would feel how hard my chest was. I know I probably don’t look perfect but so grateful for my doctor and so happy I had the implants removed. I’m 65 and 5’3” in height and 118…. I mentioned this just so women of any age really won’t be afraid to get the implants out! My husband says I look so much better without the big fake boobs.

Well this is the easiest surgery I have had! I’m doing well but have had to go back a few times cause the left breast has had to be drained twice. Not a lot of fluid but some. When I first got home I thought that the left breast was just going to be bigger well I was wrong. The whole time all it was was fluid. I go back today for another check cause my doctor Dr Rude , has to check again. What I have been doing is pretty much the whole day I have been keeping myself wrapped up tight. It’s common to have some fluid when they take an implants out. I’m very pleased had how my breasts have firmed up and it’s only been slightly over 4 weeks. It’s so great to have soft boobs and not hard ones. I have also noticed that the nipples being so sensitive have gone away a lot. I will post pictures soon as I can.

Hi took some pictures today it’s just been couple days over two weeks I’m feeling better every day. I feel this is the easiest surgery I have had. I have to remind myself to not do to much. I’m hopeful that eventually my upper pole will be better and looking forward to the incisions to disappear.
