I had my surgery 16 days ago. The sutures in left breast have been removed today. But right breast doesn’t look ready so left the stitches for a few more days.
I am 32 and have 2 kids. Breastfed for a few years and left me with saggy boobs and right breast was bigger and more saggy than left.
First, I only wanted a lift as I’m used to having small breast. But I thought implant could be a bonus since I’m going under the knife anyway.
My husband and I went to Bangkok and he has been very supportive with the whole process. I went to SLC because my best friend has done her liposuction and tummy tuck there. Since she did all the research and was happy about it, I decided to do my surgery in the same clinic with the same doctor.
So far so good, I’m just quite impatient and getting anxious with the whole recovery period.
Now that my left breast has stitches removed and has a bit of open wound I feel totally nervous about getting infection or the wound not healing correctly.
Please do advice on things I shouldn’t do and should do.
I live in Brunei and my PS is in Bangkok. Health services here isn’t great and I’m literally relying on RealSelf reviews. I’m daft to do the surgery in same country where I live I know, but what’s done is done.
I hope and pray that my recovery will go smoothly and that My worries won’t make my situation worse.
My breasts don’t look the same size but I’m hoping that my right breast is just swollen. The stitches don’t look great either but All I want now is to get better and heal properly. If I need revision later then so be it.

Everything looks good, I wish I could give you some advice but I think we’re only a couple weeks apart post op and I’m still learning as I go too. What size implant did you go with?

Just a quick update
The sutures from my right breast has been removed today and super grateful that al went well without any open wound.
Two locations of a bit of a gap but dry and with scab which I shouldn’t be worried about. I just need to be very careful and not to lift or strain myself, take it easy until all ok. The swelling seems to be going down but right is still bigger. I’m wearing the compression bra 24/7 and the band at night. Boobs are still sitting high so I have to be patient and use the band as long as I can. I haven’t done any massage too as I’m anxious the wound are still fully healed.
I will also wait until all scabs are gone and I can start with scar cream etc.

My right breast was a lot bigger and saggy before surgery. But I’m a bit worried that it will be so obvious that right is still bigger after surgery.
Mentor 225cc moderate plus I went for as I wanted natural look. Please tell me it will catch up with the left
