Breast implant revision and lipo correction, less than 1 year post initial surgery
WORTH IT$1,600
I'm writing this review because this site has helped me so much and I hope I might be able to help someone else in return.
Back story: In 2009 I had a breast reduction. I was a 34 J. I went down to a 34 D/DD and was thrilled at first. Then my boobs disappeared. I was barely filling out a D… don’t know why. I went to the surgeon who did the reduction and he agreed, very weird and not good. So after much research, I chose Dr. Bucky to perform a "mini mommy makeover" in March of 2016, which is a breast augmentation with a mini tummy tuck and some lipo to my flanks.
After a few months of recovery I noticed my flanks were uneven and I did not care for the shape of my breasts much either. I began noticing these things just two months post-op, but I allowed all the swelling and healing to finish before moving forward. After meeting again with Dr. Bucky he agreed the lipo needed to be corrected and the projection and shape of my breasts could be improved too.
Dr. Bucky is amazing, caring, and has a wonderful bedside manor. I was only charged for anesthesia and the OR time, no fees to him at all.
I'm now three weeks post-op and from what I can see now, I'm thrilled with the results!
This surgery was MUCH easier to recover from. I was nervous because my initial surgery was really brutal. I have a full review of that surgery too, if anyone's curious lol But because the pocket is already there, the new implants were much less painful/ bruised/ limiting to my range of movement. This time we were just correcting some lipo, so 6 lap incisions were made for that. I also asked if we were going to use that same old vertical scar again, could we do a little bit of a lift too? And he said YES! WOOO! All in all, this surgery was much less traumatic.
I went from a 345cc SRM Naturelle Inspira implants (a medium profile, smooth implant) to a 470cc TRX Naturelle Inspira implant (an extra high profile, textured implant). While that sounds like a big jump in size, its the shape of the high profile and projection that makes up the increase in cc's. I didn't want to necessarily be "bigger", just more full at the top and from the side view.
I took 12 days to rest. Surgery was 2/1/17 and was back at work 2/13/17. My job is VERY physical, and believe me, I felt it...but it was do-able. I work 75 hours a week and I had to jump right back in, no choice. I don't have kids so when I came home I was able to just take care of myself. I do live alone, so I still had to fix my own dinner, do dishes, laundry, house work, etc., but it's been fine.
Currently I have some faint bruising on my hip/ flanks and both whole sides of me are numb and itchy and feel lumpy. My breasts are still healing. My right breast is looking great but my left is still up in my neck lol and it’s much more sore.
Pics and more to come soon… This PS stuff is such a journey! I’m so glad to have this website and each other to talk to and learn from. Happy Healing Everyone!!!

Ok, here are some pre-op pics showing how my breasts were flat still and my waist was really uneven... I saw this in the mirror for months and was so unhappy. I had so much pain in the first surgery not to mention the $$$ and I was so disappointed...

These two pics were from 2/16/17 and my surgery was 2/1. I'll take more soon and show how the hips and flanks are healing too. It's kind of hard to tell but the left is much higher then the right one is and I'm hoping soon they'll be symmetrical again.

Oh I think your after pictures are amazing compared to your before pictures. Like you said, you still have some healing and dropping to do, but you look fantastic! It looks like the high profile did the trick for you. Keep us posted as you continue to heal. Congratulations!

Oh thank you! So far, other then my left still up in my neck and being a literal pain in the neck and being a slow poke, I'm doing surprisingly well. I'm three days away from being four weeks post-op and I've been living life normally and sleeping on my side for weeks now. I'm excited but a little scared to workout still, since I'm used to weight training... but otherwise I'm thrilled :) I'll post more pics either tonight or tomorrow too.
