You were brave! Yours def were big so it was scary but they were saggy when you had them so they look identical without just a little skin issue. I like the staged decision. See if you like them without reconstruction and if not then act. If so then you're fine. I like a little sag its so pretty!

Question for you all.........I'm alone so I'm worried about the after care, will I be able to take care of myself? I have someone to drive me to surgery and home and back to post op if it is before I can drive but other than that I'm alone....any advice?

It would be nice if you could have someone spend the first 24 hours with you. If that is not possible, you need to prepare for everything before hand to make sure you can do nothing but care for yourself. You cant lift anything over 5 pounds or raise your arms for the first week. So little items need to be within your reach, and light. You could prepare this all before hand so you will be able to manage. You can do it, it will just take planning and preparations for your limitations...xoxox The pain is no problem really, it is more abiding by what you shouldn't be doing that you need to plan for...

Awesome your feeling really good AND really happy!!! Me tooooo!!! Hardest thing is behaving with work etc, cause I feel so great from getting those implants off my chest and am not used to this 'take it easy' [RS bleep], lol. Just have a little tenderness, and feel like I have a straightjacket on. Take it easy at work there sweetie!
