Implant Revision and Lift With Capsule Repair

I had my origin BA about 11 years ago and was never happy with the results. My old implants were high profile 325cc saline overfilled at probably 375. I didn’t ask enough questions the first time and I’m sure the techniques were very different at that time. However, I don’t remember my PS ever measuring, discussing what I wanted, etc. I’m sure I was a bit embarrassed about it all and too nervous to ask much of the doctor. My breast tissue Hs sagged off the old implants, and the look just as bad as they did 11 year ago. I have tuberous breasts, and they will probably not be perky and gorgeous again free breastfeeding two kids. I decided I was tired of having to lift things up in my bra to make it look right, and tired of being embarrassed bout the big boobs in a swimsuit. I’m 5’4” and 108. A 32DD was just too big for me, as I am athletic and very active. These pics were taken the day before my surgery. I want to go down in size and have chosen a modern profile silicone Sientra 325 or 300 cc, depending on what the doctor thinks. I’m pretty nervous about it all, as my recovery before took forever and I got capsular contracture after about 6 months last time. My PS says I will have a ‘definite improvement’, lol. Can’t wait for that. I’ve used this site for year and decided to give back, hoping to help someone with their journey.

Here re my photos one week after my implant revision. I was on pain meds for 4 days after, then was fine to go to Advil.

I iced CONSTANTLY for the first 4 days and truly rested, as per my PS instructions. I didn’t do this the first time around. I took arnica tablets (5 per day) for 5 days before and a week after my surgery. I also took a Vitamin K each day for a week before and bromelian for 5 days before and after my surgery.

I did some light yoga and walking by day 3. I had some tightness in the chest (from new implants and pocket revision) even though my new implants are 310 moderate profile.

By the time this pic was taken I was feeling fine, still some tightness, but able to function normally. No exercise except yoga, stretching and walking.

I feel good, back to most normal activities. I have some muscle spasm in the lower left breast, which you can see in the picture. It comes and goes, but def not enough to take a muscle relaxer.

Feel like I’m healing pretty well, and surprised how much easier this has been than the recovery 11 years ago.
