Big Recovery Process but Worth It!

I’m almost 56 years old, 5’7” and 125 lbs. I had implants done in 2003, (very happy), but my surgeon had retired.
I had a mammogram last March 2018, thought the tech had squished one causing a leak, went for a revision consult, new surgeon was on a recommendation of my clients. (I had seen his work on them) I wanted them higher, bigger and the lost volume replaced, like they used to look. I had very bad lateral malposition, and slight asymmetry. He told me I would need a capsulorraphy and he could improve the look overall. If you need this done, make sure your guy has tons of experience doing this added procedure. I had researched everything involved including mesh and internal sutures for extra support of the larger implant. I jokingly said I wanted 800 cc, he said no, but when he called me he said he thought Natrelle cohesive gel SSX (smooth, soft extra high profile) 615 cc (gummy bears) under the muscle would give me the look I wanted. I think it’s extremely important to be firm with your expectations during your consult. Surgery and after care all great, facility phenomenal in general. (Hotel is part of the clinic\operating theatre). I was extremely nauseous on the tramidoll so I only took 2 on the day of and then only extra strength Tylenol and extra strength ibuprofen for the next 4 days. Then I needed nothing, but the recovery was very hard (pretty brutal) from the removal of the 5 inches of stretched pocket on each side and the burning of the pocket to shrink it. He was not conservative in the removal of stretched side boob skin. He told me this, so I couldn’t lift my arms or any weight for 2 weeks, but it was more like 3-4 before I could even a little bit. I had received 2 layers of sutures in a full underwire bra position internally, one layer permanent and one biodegradable, necessary to support the size of the new implants. I am almost 6 weeks post op now and am so happy to be on the other side of it all, love the new 20 something looking boobs like I used to have, in 2003, and the sutures underneath (imf) are all flat because of my using Scar Away silicone plastics to flatten and perfect the look of any residual marks. I highly recommend using this ASAP when there’s no oozing anymore...amazon has it for $ 40.00 Cdn. You ALWAYS have to get another surgery done even if your first augment is successful, btw, I didn’t have a leak, I had developed a capsular contracture (built up scar tissue) on my left side, and that had cause the change I had noticed. It took 15 years to change, so I was lucky to never have been unhappy about either of my surjuries...,so far so good! PS I wear my post op bra every night and he (my surgeon) said it’s best to “become a back sleeper” so as to not stretch your skin laterally! I’m trying, with the use of side pillows and under my knees so I don’t roll. Get a good surgeon, do your own research, don’t book on price, and do what he tells you! Overall I’m very happy, keep in mind when you’re older you heal slower and the job will never look as good as it did when you were younger and getting it done for the first time!
