32 Year Old Implant Revision (Some Graphic Pics)

57 day progress

WORTH IT$10,000
I'm mostly ecstatic about the new "girls". They're about as close to my wish boobs as I could want except that my right is still a little high so has the telltale bump that reminds you they're fake. Underneath each breast the transition around the half circle that defines each breast is not smooth. It's like there's a wrinkle of skin that interferes with the transition from the scar/bottom of breast to the roundness of the rest of the breast (looking at this pic you can see it most on the left breast). I'm hoping both issues will work themselves out as everything relaxes and the scars heal and soften.
About 7 weeks in they finally started to feel completely like "my" breasts rather than something foreign I'm carrying around. Very happy about that!
The doctor's office is extremely responsive. The first week I had a call each day and they were on it! Very friendly and professional.
In case you're wondering I told the doctor I wanted VERY natural breasts, even to the point of sagging versus being too perky, since I'm 55. I'm open about telling people but still don't want the appearance to be obviously fake.

Scar/rejecting dissolvable stitches

My doctor was extremely responsive to this photo I sent when I had concerns about the scar's appearance. Luckily, when I got to his office he was happy that it was just my body having issues with the dissolvable stitches, not with the implant itself. I was instructed to let this heal (it would still bleed a little at each end), and then start using the Biocorneum on it. The other scar looks a lot smaller and shorter which is surprising since it's the breast that had the most "clean-up" done within it.

3-Day progress and what was taken out

I forgot to add the implants I had for 33 years were silicone, under the muscle. The only good thing about them was that they were very soft and I was terrified they would harden up just like the first implants (from 1984) did but that never happened, even after the capsule formed around them. The operation to remove the implants took an hour longer than the doctor expected because of the clean-up he had to do to remove them since they had degraded. A thick capsule had formed around them that had partly calcified. When I asked him why my breasts were so soft anyway he said it was because the capsules don't necessarily form uniformly so they may be thicker in some parts and thinner in others, giving the implant room to move around and feel soft. He said a normal capsule is thin enough that you could read through it. Here's what he took out and what the new breasts looked like at 3 days. I had the tubes and blood drains in for a week, and took pain killers for a week, too, even though I normally don't take any, to help with discomfort and sleep.
