47 Years Old Going from Overs to Unders with an Anchor Lift - Fairhope, AL
ORIGINAL POST
Hey everyone! I have had over the muscle saline...
WORTH IT$9,205
Hey everyone! I have had over the muscle saline implants for 15 years now and just recently, the left one has deflated. I had PIP 430 HP saline over the muscle. This company is no longer in business so I have to start from scratch. The doctor at the time suggested overs to try to avoid getting away with a lift at the time, and for 15 years they were ok, but not as high as I would have liked. So now, I am seeing Dr. Koehler at Eastern Shore Plastic Surgery in Fairhope, AL on Monday, March 30, 2015 for my surgery. I am getting 550cc Silicone Mentor Smooth HP under the muscle. I am very scared and anxious but I knew I would be needing a redo after 15 years but I just wanted to do it on my own timing. I am glad that I only have a few days because the worry has really been getting to me. I hope to get some pictures up here soon.

Thanks for sharing your photos. May I suggest adding the date of your surgery to this calendar to get support from other members getting procedures around the same time?

I am not exactly sure how to do that, I did not see an "add" button.....can you give me some advice, please?

4 days pre
Sweaty palms, nerves are setting in!
Today I got all of my prescriptions, I got norco, a muscle relaxer, tramedol (sp?), antibiotics and a nausea patch. Tomorrow I have to pick up my nitro glycerin ointment. This scares me a little but the doc says it will help with the blood flow to the nipple for healing to prevent necrosis. Yikes. I also need to shop for other supplies, pj's, slippers, wedge pillow, etc. My husband wants me to stay off the internet because I keep reading horror stories and he wants me to just look at "good boobs" so I stay positive. I tend to worry about everything. I don't remember doing this 15 years ago but I think it's because the advent of the internet and information everywhere. I do trust my PS, and he is confident in his abilities but he did tell me both the good and the bad of what could happen. I am trying to keep looking forward to having nice perky boobies (Hubby said tonight, "do you realize how many women would love to be in your situation right now?" and he is right) I can't wait to get this over with and be on the other side!!

Why the nitroglycerin ointment?
April 2, 2015
The surgeon suggested using the ointment (it's made at a compounding Pharmacy) to aid in bringing the blood circulation to the nipple area to try to prevent any necrosis. I also have a pretty big implant as fat as lifts go. So far, so good. I have to use it once more tonight and he said I could stop. (I will need to post a complete review of my experience)

April 3, 2015
No I did not have to have drains. Not sure why. Maybe because I went from overs to unders?
