Over a year post revision, almost two years original BA!
Hi everyone!
It's been over one year since my left breast revision and almost 2 (in October) since my original augmentation. Sorry I know a lot of you have been asking for updates but life got busy; better late than never!
So, first I am so happy I got the revision, free of charge, on the left breast. It turns out my muscle spasmed and scar tissue formed under the breast as it healed, hence why it was higher. The second surgery was super easy however it took basically another year for the breast to look round at the bottom and the skin to expand. I was quite discouraged 3 months in as it looked boxy and weird but patience is a virtue :) it is still not quite where the right breast is in terms of shape but he did remove the entire implant and then reinsert so I have to remember it was basically like half a boob job.
I'm also experiencing a bit of rippling in the left, when I went to my one year post revision appointment he said that would go away if I gained some weight...LOL, not something us ladies want to hear! The rippling is by my sternum where the skin is relatively thin, but not super noticeable. Since I started with nothing I knew this was a possibility and I went with the implant that had least chance of rippling (inspira) so I think the outcome was pretty good.
Both breasts are extremely soft/squishy and look very natural; just what I wanted! Honestly if I wear nothing or a bralette you cannot even tell I had a noob job, however I can "dress" them up for date nights etc and BAM they look huge! This is the perfect outcome for me...I can be modest when I want to or I can be busty. I wanted volume more than projection and due to my rib cage I have great cleavage.
In hindsight I may have gone a bit bigger, maybe 385? I have a wide bw of 13. But as most of us are with the initial augmentation I was terrified of going too big and went up from my initial choice of 250 to 320 which I thought was a huge leap. I've never been officially measured but I wear a 32D at Victoria secret so I'm most likely a C cup. The width of my breasts tend to push me into bigger sizes but I am a 32 so bra shopping has been hard.
For those fitness ladies on here: after my initial surgery I was very eager to get lean again, however I made things worse by eating less calories and overdoing the cardio. I got to a point where I was not losing what I wanted despite all my efforts. It took me a year to get my metabolism back on track and although I'm not as lean as I was presurgery i feel in a good place with my body, especially as I'm pushing 38 years old! I am lifting heavy for everything but I don't train chest really and I notice it still feels weird when I overdue the pull-ups etc.
I was given 320cc low plus inspira. Projection 3.4. The doctor selected these based on my wish look, bw etc. I'm happy I went with moderates but again a bit more projection would be nice, I should have gone with his 385 recommendation. But I'm not gonna fret over 65 cc. I also had both of my folds lowered to accommodate the diameter of the implant. I believe this takes longer for the breasts to take their final shape as the surgeon is literally creating something out of nothing!
Another thing to mention, I had spitting stitches both surgeries which was a pain in the ass and made my scar healing a little rocky. The right scar is now white but still a little bumpy. Left scar is still noticeable but I know both will fade with time.
Am I happy? Yes! I am thrilled!

Happiness is an understatement! 6 days post op and I have great boobs now!
I think the results speak for themselves. Still retaining some water from surgery and they haven't fully evened out yet but I'm just so thrilled! Even managed a good little leg workout today. I've been feeling great all week, just a bit of soreness.
Revision complete! Muscle release and back to work today!
Hey ladies! Thanks for all your messages on my previous post. I had my revision surgery on my left breast yesterday and it was a breeze. In and out in under an hour. My PS told me he actually released the muscle (he wasn't sure if it was a capsule or muscle issue). The whole left implant was removed then put back in! He said I won't see the final results for several weeks/a month because of swelling etc. And the implant need time again to drop into place. However at first glance I already see a difference so I'm very hopeful!
I just have to speak about the night and day difference from the first surgery. I'm at work today (from home on Tylenol) and have been doing other house chores without being completely laid up in bed! Yes, took percs after surgery and through the night but the pain is so much less. Since the muscles and skin are already stretched I think this recovery is going to be a cinch. I was told two weeks of no gym so I'll just be doing my booty band exercises at home and gently walking. I'm still retaining water from the surgery and meds so trying to get in a lot of H2o over the next week to aid recovery.
I'll keep you posted on my progress...and thanks again for all the sweet messages! [RS bleep]
