21 days post-op.....

WORTH IT$9,000
Hi girls, ive been doing good. I cant belive its been 21 days since my revision surgery! But ive been doing ok. Still have alot of swelling and there are a few incisions that are fighting to heal. But I do have a question; anyone who has has a breast lift... How long does it take for the swelling of the areolas to go down. There like sticking out and puffy and look so weird even in a sports bra and shirt. I know its just swelling and it takes time but I would assume that they would at least start to have reduced swelling. Any time frame would be appreciated!
Other then normal surgical healing phases, im doing good. I dont see my doctor again for a few weeks but lll keep you updated! Xoxo

Hey honey! I have to tell you that (this was with implants though) there were times that my areola's would swell and be puffy out of nowhere. Then go away out of nowhere too...This was after my first surgery. Never happened with my second set of implants. Did he do fat transfer again? Maybe that's why? Or could just be normal swelling. .either way they look fantastic!
Thanks. No fat transfer. But it just must be from all ive put my poor boobies thru I guess..... only time will tell
Funny most of the time mine look the same bur my left side looks puffy after I take off my bra...I'll try to get a pic tonight to post on my page so you can see
Lol. Ok thanks. .. hope mine go down.
Gosh you look great girl! He did a great job on your revision! "Normal swelling takes time to resolve. In the first month, 80 percent of the swelling should go down. It can take an additional three to four months for the rest of the swelling to go away and for you to be at your final shape. Some patients may experience a small amount of residual swelling for up to a year."
Thank you so much im so happy. Yea; thats what I have read.
Beautiful
Thank you so much!!
Hello,
Thanks soooo much for your detailed review. I would like to ask you a question. In your opinion, would it be better to explant without a lift and wait for the skin to change before a lift? I've been looking alot on this site, and it seems that the lifts done at the same time as the explant often seem a bit 'wonky'.

Good! Thats once of the many reasons I like you.
You look amazing! Perfect boobies! Yaaa! So happy for you! He did a fantastic job!
Thank you so much. I am so happy, finally! He really did really really good!
Wow, I got my books when u was 20. Had 2 book jobs so far. Now have 800 cc in each one. I want them out sooooo bad. I'm just so scared but yours look awesome!
A book job huh ...800 of them? Lol na just messing with you (damn spell check) lmao! Well best of luck to you continue to read thru some of the storys on here it sure helped me. And.. Thank you!
Ha, & I even fixed the auto correct once! stupid phones..... & you had to take 6 weeks off? OMG. I will not be able to do that. I have a desk job, so wonder if I would have to take that much time off. In my situation, Id probable have to go in on a Friday before a holiday weekend, just so I can at least have the weekend plus a few days off.
Yea for a normal removal and lift. I think that would be enough time if you have a desk job!
Let's hope I have a normal surgery. Lol
Oh god! Yes... I already broke the "one in a million" so you will be fine! Lmao!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey! I admire your focus and determination. How much time did you need to take off from work to heal for the second surgery? Continue with the updates.
Your welcome, and thank you. I was instructed to take 6 weeks off to heal. Ihad alot done!

Picture update comparison! !

Hey girls! Im just checking in to say hi and update you with my First surgury on the bottom picture and the new revision surgery on the bottom. Look at the difference! I know its kinda hard to tell with my sunshines. But notice the shape of the breasts, where the nipples are located (sunshine are directly covering only areolas), all weird lumpyness is gone.... Check it out!
