Not looking good

I'm not posting much, because I really am trying not to think about my breast. I'm so upset when I do. Here's the latest. I've been following all of Feng's instructions to try to press down the extra tissue and it's not working. It looks pretty clear to me that if the incisions had been lower I would be fine. I have no idea what happened. It's very depressing.

So depressed.

I am so depressed the last couple days. I am sicker and in more pain than ever and I feel completely deformed.

Staying positive is impossible sometimes. I have days it's better, but days I feel so completely depressed and desperate.

I'm trying so hard to be patient, but I feel like I'm in a worse position now than I ever was. If something would change -- the pain from surgery, my illness, or the double bubble, maybe I could cope. But as it is, I'm really struggling.

I just want to know that there's a light at the end of this. I'm usually a strong, positive person, but this situation has cracked me.

Maybe if I could do something I could get my mind off it, but as it is, just a laying in bed all day, it's all I can think about.

I really don't have the energy to do anything, and trying to focus on my health instead of the way my breast look just makes me more depressed because I still feel so sick.

I'd love to hear from anyone else who took a long time healing not from the surgery. How long until you could resume normal activities? How long now until your prior health issues started to resolve?

Has anyone else had this double bubble? After reading some yesterday, I think that if I had gotten an internal lift it would have prevented this. Dr. Feng suggested I go buy a bra that put pressure on the "puffy" parts. I tried that, but it's not going to work. My incisions are very tender and lumpy and all the bras I tried that put pressure on the inner portion cut across my incision on the outer portion. The incisions are wider than the bra bands. It was so painful just trying then on that it hurt even the next day and now my incisions are all red and more lumpy.

Also, the size of my breasts were kind of a shock. Before implants I was a 34a or 32b, sometimes a little bigger. My breast are such an odd shape now, they don't even fill out a 34aa or 32a. The top of the cup is completely empty, but then I have all this flesh hanging out the sides - like all my breasts tissue is now on my sides, not my front. Has anyone else experienced this? Does it resolve? It was so uncomfortable I don't think I'll ever be able to wear a bar again unless it changes.

Looking for some hope. All I wanted was to be able to live my life again. I'm so scared I did the wrong thing and have ruined everything now.

Feeling depressed with this double bubble after explant.
