56 years old. Removing 18 Year Old Saline Implants - Kahului, HI

Hello my realself friends,
I've been slow on the updating, even though I've been doing not much and in my pj's all day. I did go in on Friday for my second post op and was able to have the drains removed. What a relief but can I just say..OUCH. He did warn me it would hurt (it did) but was over really quick. I have to go back in on Tues to make sure there is no fluid collecting so I'm trying to take it easy and not do much. Once he's sure about the fluid I'll rest a little easier. Tomorrow will be one week since my surgery, I'm off the pain meds and just using ice packs (frozen peas) and heat packs. I've taken the good advice of women on this site and have been using coconut oil and emu oil every day. I'm hoping for some fluffing, and I guess time will tell. Here's the latest pics. All the best to you all and thank you thank you thank you ladies for all your help and encouragement. I would have never been brave enough to do this had it not been all of you before me!

Had my post op this morning, Dr. Said everything went as planned, no surprises. Well, I was really afraid to look down when the bandage came off. As expected, the girls were sad. Smushed and sore. The pictures I took are from tonight, the compression bandage was removed this morning so they look a little better. I think a lot is swelling, but I'm hoping some of it is me????. The drains stay in until Friday, but I want to do whatever it takes to get the best healing and the least problems. Dr. Yu is cautious and I do like that. If any of you are on the fence, it has been totally worth it for me.

So I had the implants removed today. i had 275cc over the muscle saline implants that were put in in 1998 by Dr Yu the same Dr. Who removed the today. He did a explant and capsuelectomy. The surgery was done under sedation. I went in at 715, got prepped and at 8 was wheeled into sugary. I remember giving Dr Yu the thumbs up and the next think I know it's 11 am and I'm done! I do have drains and they pretty much suck, but I know they are important and want to give myself every chance to heal properly. I asked the nurse Michelle (who is WONDERFUL btw) if my boobs looks like raisins and she said defiantly not, so that's little encouraging . I will see the tomorrow at my post op. Can't sh I'm not nervous but because of this site and all the brave selfless women who have shared, I know not to get sucked in be tomorrow's reveal. I'll try post some pics tomorrow.
