Breast Lift with Implant Replacement

I originally had a breast augmentation transumbiblically (through the belly button) 380cc on left and 420 cc in right, saline, over the muscle about 13 years ago. After breastfeeding two kids I had extremely saggy boobs and the right side was encapsulated. You could see rippling of the left implant as well. I wore a DD bra but a lot of it was just skin.

After researching a couple years before now I went with Dr. Landon. He was so kind and never rushed. Every single staff member was super sweet. I was told to contact anytime whether by phone, email, or text. The same care has been shown after surgery.

Post surgery, I’ve felt pretty good. Surprise, the right implant was partially under the muscle. So that’s why my left side is more sore than my right bc it had more work done. I stopped pain meds and only taking Tylenol since last night (post op day 2). Pain meds were needed and worked but we’re giving me headaches and chills. I feel way better now. Def did too much today and need to take it easier. My left side just feels tight and shoulder is sore too. Sleeping sitting up is getting old fast. My poor butt lol.

Yesterday the nurse took off the gauze. She and my husband noted that everything looks great. Tonight I attempted to shower. May sound crazy but it was too much seeing my boobs, and they were sensitive to the air. I was also told taking off the bra can cause the blood to rush bc it’s tight.

I’m super happy so far and I’m recovering fine. It’s defintiely more mental in my opinion trying to heal but wanting to get stuff done. House is a mess and I’ve got two kids! My husband loves them already and comments how he wants to grab them lol. Looking forward to getting back active again. I plan to update every two weeks.

No idea how ladies on here are able to take pics from different angles early on. lol I have to wear this tight bra pictured for two weeks with only a break during showers. Even though the bottom band can get a bit snug, I'm actually more comfortable and secure feeling with it on. Its hard feeling super good but not able to actually do things. I have to remember it's only been 4 days! Taking it easy but using t-rex arms to lightly clean up and keep my two year old entertained. She's actually been a fantastic helper with mama's boo boos.

Got some decent pics of the work while I lay here a bit. Thought taking off the bra and remaining seated for a second would keep me from feeling light headed. As said before the bra is tight so taking it off can make the blood rush. So far so good. The bottom scars aren’t painful but have mad themselves known. Added extra gauze just to cushion bottom incisions and the bra.
