Looking better!

They are looking better but left one incision still a little sore. Steri tape still on them and I have been trimming it away as it peels. This is the Danskin Walmart bra which I call the Big Gun as it is very sturdy and strong. I needed it today doing too much with packing up the house for my move tomorrow.
Normally I will wear my Under Armor sports bra as it sits lower than the crease line or my bralettes but have needed more support lately.

6 days post op with pics

So today is day 6 and I feel pretty good except the incisions are still bothering me quite a bit. I am not sure if it's the steri-strips or the stitches or both? I went bra shopping yesterday and seriously I forgot how flat chested I was before implants and I was not happy. Any bra bothers me right now because the band even if I go a larger size still feels tight because it rubs on the incisions which are in the creases. However I did find some cute bralettes made by jockey that I bought at Target and they are very soft and slightly padded so I should look okay with that on under a work blouse. And looking at my breasts the left one which was my problem child and had the contracture is larger than the right one. Before the explant it was painful and rode high and seemed to get larger. After my explant both breasts were so shriveled up that I didn't want to look at them anymore until yesterday and this is where I noticed that Lefty is bigger than righty. It doesn't hurt or anything but I called my plastic surgeon and asked if it could be a seroma and he said to email him pictures. I did that this morning but haven't heard back from him yet. Maybbe they are kust starting to unshrivel?. Right now I am in a tight sports bra that zips in front that I got at Walmart and it is driving me insane because I hate tight clothing. I'm still happy that this was the best thing I ever did but I am glad I have work off for the week except I am bored. We are moving in two weeks so I decided to do some light packing and I'm wondering if I should have done that or not but I was very careful. I just filled boxes and then kick them across the room with my legs so I wouldn't have to lift them. Anyway I never had pictures of my boobs with implants but they were basically a large C with capsular contracture on the left one. I'm going to try and post a pic right now and would like your thoughts on what you think about Lefty being bigger than righty. Before implants my boobs were never even and I'm hoping that's all it is. I would appreciate any thoughts.

And they are out!

Saline unders removed today at a surgery center under general anesthesia. Don't remember a thing and woke up fine.....up and walking around. Got myself dressed and we went for pizza! I was put into an itchy sports bra so took that off as soon as I got home and put my own one on that I bought at Walmart. Got a peek......not as ugly as I thought and I actually have boobs where before the implants, I didnt. A little sore around the incision sites (under the breasts) but I wont need pain killers. I have to take Keflex 4x a day so I loaded up on probiotics. Amazing how that awful boob, back, shoulderblade and neck pain GONE immediately. And I am breathing much better!
