Breast revision
It's been over a year since I've had my mommy makeover. Today I'm getting a breast revision done on my left breast because the implant fell out of the pocket or something so it's lopsided. You can really see it when I lay down. The right breast is perfectly fine.
I had cohesive gel, but my doc is switching out the left implant for soft touch because there are reports of the cohesive gel flipping over. He's had 10 cases of his own patients so far that needed revisions. For this reason, he no longer offers silicone cohesive implants.
Since nothing is wrong with my right implant, I've decided not to get it replaced.
He's also getting rid of some dog ears on my sides. I was supposed to have this done last year April, but... I got pregnant. Yes. I was kicking myself when I found out, but it came with a blessing, a baby girl. (I already have 2 boys).
I asked my doc to feel my abdominal muscles to see if it separated. It didn't, and he's surprised. I guess he did that good of a job!
Of course my tummy skin stretched again so he'll be getting rid of the extra skin.
Besides the left boob problem, I've been loving my boobs this past year. I forget that I even have implants. They don't feel huge.
I laugh now because a year ago they felt soo huge and I was worried. They were just swollen.
I look and feel better in tops. I haven't really gone shopping for clothes. I still don't know what size bra I am. I tried to get measured at Victoria's Secret, but I couldn't find a sales person so I got frustrated and left.
Surgery is in a few hours. I took zantac last night. I'm starving. I just need to bathe one more time before we leave. I'm not even nervous. Yet.
I posted some before pics of my boobs laying down so you can see what I'm talking about.

Day 17 Post Op
I meant to update on Day 14, but I’ve been lazy. Here’s how my recovery has been since I last posted:
- My chest doesn’t feel as tight. I can breathe more.
- My left flank is really flaky and peeling.
- My cleavage is slightly peeling, but not as bad as my left flank.
- I’m still hunched over. Sometimes I walk around pretty well and sometimes I don’t. I feel like it depends on my mood. I noticed when my best friend visits, I walk great. Then when she goes home I must be sad and go back to being an old granny.
- Boobs are feeling softer. I still have a slightly numb area on my right.
- Right nipple is still numb.
- I can shower on my own, but I still need to sit on a step stool thing in the tub.
- I’m always hungry every few hours.
- Still taking Accolate and antibiotics.
- Bruising went down a lot since I’ve been doing ultrasound therapy.
- My right breast dropped and looks even with my left now.
I’m a stay-at-home mom and my boyfriend has been taking my son to school and picking him up for the past couple weeks. He’s been going to work late and leaving work early and his warehouse can’t seem to operate smoothly without him. Things are falling apart so he asked me if I can find the strength to take him to school again starting next Monday. I think I’ll be fine. I’ve been saying my mantra “I recover quickly and easily”. I had to drive to my ortho by myself recently. It was a 3-minute drive from my house. I learned that I have to drive slow and just take my time because I feel like I don’t react as quickly as if I didn’t have surgery. I stopped taking Percocet a long time ago so I have no drowsy drugs in my system anymore.
Attached is a photo of my breasts taken on January 20.

Day 10 & 11 Post Op
Day 10
I had another check up and doc said everything is looking great. I no longer have to use nitro paste on the darker spots of my bruises. I can wear Spanx now. I don’t have to wear the ace bandage and dressing by my armpits. My left implant is dropping faster than my right. I was given a band to wear. I wear part of it over my right breast to make it go down. I’m allowed to sleep flat on my back, but I can’t really lay my whole body flat. I still need to either lie flat on my back and prop my legs up or lie slightly inclined because my abdomen is so tight. I feel like a book that cannot lie flat. My biggest fear is my abdomen incisions ripping apart if I try to lay flat. And stretch marks. My abdomen is still numb, but soft and nice and tight.
After my check up, I went to get an ultrasound therapy treatment for my liposuction areas. It felt so relaxing. I noticed a difference later that night in my thighs when I used the toilet. Usually it’s painful to sit on the toilet with the bruises on my thighs. It wasn’t as painful anymore! Can’t wait for my next treatment this Saturday.
Day 11
Every time I wake up, I feel like a boulder. My body is so achy. I have to take it slow when trying to get up. I still can’t stand straight up when I walk. I look like a baby Velociraptor that just hatched from an egg. My boyfriend saw me trying to walk and he started singing Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”. I think he’s taking me to go shopping for Spanx tonight.
