Doing great

WORTH IT$6,100
So far everything seems to be healing well. I’m doing my messages 4-5 times a day, and messaging my incisions as well. I am also using Embrace scar therapy strips. I didn’t get them centered on as well as I should. I will definitely have my husband help me put them on next time. They are switched out every 10 days for 2 months. Right breast still looks like its swollen a little or something at the top. I think this is because I am right handed. Hopefully it will catch up with the left one soon. Although in person it really isn’t noticeable.

One week after surgery
monkey2207January 19, 2018
So I just went for my one week check in yesterday. Everyone at The Cosmetic Surgery Center was wonderful and kind. I love how every I time I walk in, everyone seems to remember me, and is so cheerful and friendly. It truly is a comfortable, warm atmosphere. I saw Brook first, she removed my tape, and showed me the messages I suppose to begin. I remembered them from my previous surgery, but I was grateful to have the refresher. She even gave me a print out that shows you step by step how to perform the massages correctly. After only a few minutes, Dr. Lopes came in to exam me. She answered all my questions that I had forgotten to ask at my post op appointment, and gave me the run down on all my dos and donts for this stage in the healing process. The appointment went great. Everything is healing great at this point, and I am really loving my results so far. I can absolutely feel a difference between the old saline and the new silicone implants. The new implants already feel softer, they seem to give my breasts a softer, not so firm and round appearance, and they feel like apart of me already. Not like a water ballon sitting on my chest. I couldn’t be happier!! I still have a ways to go in the healing process. I can’t wait to keep you posted as the weeks go along.

Yes, I had the increase incision the first time. Luckily Dr. Lopes was able to keep my new incision just about the same length as my first one from what I can tell at this point. I will be changing out my steri strips soon, and I’ll update with a pic of how my incisions are healing at that time.

wow you pretty much look like your first wish image, congrats :)
My surgery is set for Feb. 5 and I am super excited!

Thank you so much! I think they are looking similar to my first wish pic as well. I hadn’t even noticed that similarity until I shared the post-op pic. I couldn’t be happier!! I started to freak a little today that they might be too small, but I think once Im not so puffy and bloated I’ll feel better about the size. Wishing you all the best with your upcoming procedure!!

Zumba_Lover thank you so much! I thought so too. Hadn’t even noticed that until I shared the pic on here. I can’t how much easier the second augmentation has been over the first. I wish you all the luck with your upcoming BA outcome as well!

They feel fantastic! They are already feeling softer than my old saline implants, and Im only about a week post op. Not to say my saline implants weren’t soft. These just have more of a jiggle to them, and a more natural appearance in the way they sit. My old saline felt like they just sat on top of my chest, were these ones feel more apart of me. I have a feeling they will continue to soft and feel more like apart of me as time goes on. Best wishes on your upcoming procedure!!
