Implant Exchange from 360 Cc to 520 Cc Inspira Silicone. New Orleans

Has anyone ever had moderate soreness to the skin on your breasts? I'm experiencing this on my left breast and it seems to be getting worse, not better. My next post op appointment isn't until later this week and I will discuss it with him. In he meantime, has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas on what could be causing it?

Tomorrow will be POD 14 and I must admit that Im pretty satisfied. I know that a lift is still in my future, but I'm happy for now. Having a breast implant exchange is obviously much easier than the first time around. The pockets were already there, so he just put the implants into those already open spaces. This is what caused me to not need to drop and fluff. The way they look now is almost what they looked like the day I came home from surgery, aside from some very minor swelling. I'm very happy that I decided to go with the Inspira's since I now have no rippling whatsoever. (And I had almost no breast tissue to start with). I still wish I would have gone with the 560 or even 600cc's but I'm learning to love the 520's that I have now vs the 360 I had before. I am adding a pic of 360cc top/520cc bottom, along with some others in clothes.

I received some very good news at my 1 week post op appointment. I was able to start working out again this week as soon as I felt comfortable with it, even upper body!! That's only about a week and a half off!! This is because I went over so there is no muscle involvement. I also found out that I don't have to sleep in the sports bra anymore and can even lounge around the house without one as well. Yay! I still can't wear an underwire bra for two more weeks though. Everything seems to be progressing nicely so far. The only complaint I have is a little tenderness/soreness on the top of my left breast but just the surface area, nothing deep down. The skin does not look red so I don't think it is infection. I will just keep an eye on it. That's all for now. Will update again after my next post op appointment.

So I had decided to go up to 560 cc's at my pre op appt but quickly called the next morning to switch back to 520. Well I can definitely say now that I was wrong! I should have stuck with the 560 cc's. They just don't seem that much bigger to me. They are definitely more full, but I wanted to go at least one bra size up. I have tried on my bras and to my disappointment they still fit. Also, because I already had implants, the pocket was there and the skin stretched thus making them seem like they have already 'dropped'. I am posting pics so you can see what I mean. I'm hoping for a little more drop that will make them look a little bigger than they currently do. I know it's only the first day post op but I can't see them dropping much more.

I'm happy with the shape because I have more fullness and more cleavage but I do know I still need a slight lift. Just really wishing right now I would have went for the 560. For all the ladies that are if'y on their size choices, keep in mind going up 25-50 cc's is not going to make you huge but may help you with regrets of 'not going bigger' after all is said and done. Really wish I could turn back time right now and stick with the larger size. Anyway, I hope my story may help anyone out there who is debating size right now.

Other than that, this has been a pretty easy experience for me. Not that much pain and mobility is really good. Since I am over the muscle, I have even been able to lift my arms above my head and try on all my clothes and sports bra, etc. I do have this strange bruise on my arm though, not quite sure what that is from. Guessing it's from transport from OR table to recovery room bed. Hope all of you ladies are healing well and for those that are still waiting... Hope your time moves fast!! ;) XOXO
