Capsular Contracture- Implant Replacement Mastopexy - B-lites

WORTH IT
I’m now on day 4 if you count op day as 1.
This is my fourth breast procedure in 9 years as I am prone to cc.
I opted for B-lite high profile round implants and although it is early days I’ve found the healing this time so much easier. Whether it is the B-lites or the surgeon’s skill I don’t know... as I say early days yet and I haven’t seen my scars - dreading that as I’ve never had the anchor scar before - so will update as the days pass. Reason for op apart from the quite bad cc, they looked very lopsided as one was tight and hard, painful and had raised up while the other one had ptosis, the flesh was sagging off the implant.
First follow up appointment next Tuesday when I will get to see scars

Pleased so far...
Think two different nurses must have bandaged each one. Makes it difficult to see effect easily - roll on Tuesday first follow up!
Pain still minimal on just paracetamol and ibuprofen. This surgeon suggested no surgical bra for first week so I haven’t had the really tight feeling overnight as the body swells. Slept almost lying completely flat last night ... will have to check if that’s ‘allowed’ - I’m assuming do what feels comfortable - anyone know? It’s hard to take in all the instructions when you’re still slightly anaesthetised.

Gosh how unlucky have you been in the past. Such a shame. I think with regards to laying almost flat depends on the individual. For me It took me almost 4 weeks before I felt comfortable laying flat. And longer laying on my side. Surely it all depends on how you feel? Nothing going to affect it I suppose. X

Wow I can already tell my scars are going to be fine. Had been so worried but I took a sneaky look - will attach a pic - only a week post surgery! Yeay!
Aaargh couldn’t attach pic. Sorry will try again later don’t know how to shrink pics to below 7mb :-(
Trust me the edges around the nipple are brilliant
