Revision

So I had my revision yesterday. The purpose was to tighten up the pocket (they had bottomed out a bit) and to do another skin excision on both sides to raise the crease of my breasts. The nurse had a problem finding my vein for the IV ( not her fault - this happens to me a lot) - so after taking a cup full of pills and the needle constantly poking me I almost passed out. I think it's more my fear of needles. The put me under a lighter sedation this time and I swear I heard them talking in the OR...or I was having a very detailed dream, who knows...I was drugged up. I didn't experience any nausea this time...they gave me a patch before surgery. When I woke up I actually felt a lot better than last time. My doc said that they surgery was a lot more extensive than he thought. He ended up having to remove the implants during the procedure and it took longer than what we originally thought. I was there from 8:30 am until about 2:15. The doc put drains in, which I didn't have last time and I can already not wait for them to come out. I am sore on the bottom of my breast, with a slight burning sensation (the incisions) and where the drains go into my body they are taped under my armpit....and I swear it's the tape that is bothering me the most....every time I move it kinda pulls my skin. My boobs are hard again which sux cuz they were just getting nice and soft at the 3 month mark. I'm disappointed that I just got back into my workout routine and now have to wait again, frustrating. My belly is so bloated, again and to make things worse...I just got my period. Ugh!

3 month post op

I just saw my surgeon for my 3 month post op. He wants to tighten up the breast fold and do another skin excision. I knew this may be a possibility almost immediately out of surgery because one of my breasts the crease was slightly lower- so he mentioned that he may want to correct this. He did say he wants to do the skin excision on both sides though. My skin is pretty lax from pregnancy so he wants to remove some more skin and slightly raise the fold to give a more youthful appearance. I decided that I did indeed want this done. It doesn't bother me- I don't hate my breasts but I'm also not in love with them either and after spending so much time and money I'm just at the point where I want it done- over with so I can get on with my life. I love the shape and size of my breasts but I do agree that the crease is a bit low, causing me to feel a bit matronly. I knew that I would have a second phase anyways to remove my supernumerary nipples- this kind of works out. He was going to remove them under local????????. But now he will remove them at the same time as the skin excision under anesthesia. I told him I would like this done as soon as possible. I'm back at the gym and really trying to get back to where I was before surgery so I don't want to put it off anymore. He gave me the date of Oct.18 for the second surgery. I will have a pre-op on Sep. 30. I will have to cover the anesthesia and operating room fee- which I'm not thrilled with, but I knew this was a possibility when I decided to get implants. As far as general recovery goes.... At 3 months I would say I am pretty much back to normal. The lower portion of my breasts are still a little numb but I don't have any pain. They are soft (slightly firmer than my natural breasts) but they feel way more natural now. I am aware of the implants sometimes- random times, but not all the times. I sometimes wake up and find myself sleeping on my stomach- I try to avoid this- but they obviously don't hurt. I am back to the gym doing everything- I lost a lot of strength in core and upper body so I'm trying to work on this. it's a little bit frustrating but I'm improving almost daily- so it's just gonna be a matter of time.

Got measured for bras

I got measures today at Victoria's Secret and they told me I am between a 32 D and a 32 DD!!! Holy crap. I know that their sizes run small but I was just going for a full B /C. I'm not upset about it - it is nice to have boobs after not having them for so long and they don't look big under clothing. I don't feel I look too heavy. I don't know why- I just really don't like the look of large bras. Oh well! So picky I know! I tried on a 32 D and that's what my measurement put me at and the lady said I had some spillage on the side so she recommended that I go to double D. Although with a double D there was some gapping. I think I will buy bras in double D for my everyday ones but I think that for going out or wanting to just be sexy I will go with D. I've waited this long to have boobs I don't want to still have gapping in the cups. I ordered 2 wireless ones in DD and 2 sports bras in D and one in DD. I think it's gonna depend on the style. Hopefully they get here soon - sooo tired of wearing the same style bras! Definitely do not need padding ever again. I tried on some with padding and it was WAY too much!
