looks amazing!!! I’m 4 weeks P.O. I hope mine look as good as yours I’m still p high and I’m doing massage to get them to drop Congratulations to you isn’t this such a great feeling to have boobs you love ??!!! I feel like no one gets it until they have gone through it

did you go under or over the muscle? I had saline under the muscle 300 filled to 335 and 320 cc MP I can’t wait to sleep on my side this is the hardest part for me !! I feel like I haven’t had good sleep since the night before my surgery but I’m so happy with my results that I wold do this agin even though I’m completely exhausted and sleep deprived

Hi again, glad things are going well! I was told to not to completely submerge myself in water (i.e. swimming, Jacuzzi, etc) for my first two months postop. I’ve always preferred baths to showers. What I would do was fill the tub halfway and just kind of soak from the waist down. LOL. Btw, to share a little tip with you. If you respond to someone’s message in the “reply” link directly below their comment they will receive a notification that you responded to their comment. Hope this is helpful. Good luck with your upcoming appointment. :-)

Looking great! It looks like you’re healing very nicely. I think the Tagaderm is a great idea, especially given it’s strong water resistancy. I actually use Tagaderm films along the edge of my Embrace scar sheets to keep them more water resistant when swimming. Just curious will you be doing any kind of formal scar therapy? The scar in your lower pole could be widening now because due to dropping and fluffing. This happened to me my first surgery. My verticals got a very wide. I actually had a scar revision on mine. Following my revision I used Embrace Active Scar Defense (with the tension device). The tension device pushes the tape towards the center holding the incision together to prevent it from stretching as much. That aside I think the tagaderm is a great idea using early on. In a way it kind of serves as a preliminary scar therapy (imo). I hope you continue to heal well! :-)

Hi! I just started following. Everything is looking awesome! I'm scheduled for late April and I'm a little nervous but your pics make me feel better. Did you have the choice between silicone or saline? My PS does both and I'm leaning towards saline even though I know they don't feel as natural. I feel like they have every other benefit though. Have you noticed being able to feel the edge of the implant at all? I honestly don't think rippling through the skin would bother me but I don't know that I would like being able to feel the edges.

Mdlg5, im not sure about scar therapy yet. I have an appointment tomorrow. I did notice some discharge coming from a small opening (spitting stitch perhaps) in my left areola and removed the tegaderm. I decided to clean it and place a bandaid over it since it was just for a couple of days. I’m now assuming I won’t get the all clear to be submerged into water yet

Kayybug, hello! I was very nervous too. I have seen so many bad lift/implant surgeries on here. But I definitely feel like mine are looking awesome. I had all kinds of choices, gel, silicone, and saline. I went with saline for a couple of reasons. 1. I just prefer the general idea of the saline being absorbable. 2. I can customize the size (it’s filled in a certain range of cc after being placed unlike the other two options. 3. Also, if they were to rupture I’d know. With the other two, it’s hard to tell, and you are required to have a mri done every two years which insurance does not cover. No thanks lol. I don’t have any rippling at all. I can’t feel my implant unless I reallly push in and am in a certain position, so no. With saline you can go “softer or firmer”. For example, mine is a high profile 380 cc, but it’s filled to 420 (max fill is 450) to give a firmer feel and have less chance of rippling. If I stuck will then the 380 fill then they would had been softer. I personally like the way mine feel, not too soft nor rock hard. Also, your profile will play a role in visible rippling or being able to see and feel the implant. a high profile has a more narrow base, moderate and low profile have a wider base (large width that expands across the pocket).
