Dr. Smith is doing the explant on Tuesday. Dr Rifley (who is now departed) performed the first surgery in 2004 Other then a great deal of pain immediately after the surgery, it all went well and I'm healing good. Dr Smith was an excellent PS. it's only been 1 day but so far so good. I have to say after 10 days and I've had so many questions and everyone in his office has been so sweet to me. Especially Shannon, I don't remember recovery when Dr Smith talked to me, but I'm looking forward to speaking to him next week, I need some answers to the why my breasts look this way. So for now I'm leaving the rating at 5 *****.

I hope he can stitch up that opening you have. That worries me a little. Also, talk to him about the stitching in between your breasts. I wonder if the pulling is from stitching while you were laying down and now gravity is pulling a different way. It may just be swelling. Time takes care of many things. Please let us know how you are doing.

Nothing new to report, I can't do much, the pain is better, the breast look the same still taped up and drains are in. Not much out put from the drains, no fever, I think this is a good sign, no infection.

Glad to hear your doing good!!!
Have you had the drains out yet? I'm sure that will make you feel better. hope you are continuing to heal and feeling better... ❤️
Try to find a reiki practitioner , I am one I do self reiki daily , 11 days post op , stitch out yesterday and only took 2 paracetamol first day after surgery, 2 days after I flew to London to do further reiki study, so go lots of treatment during the workshop, lots of love to all courageous and not so courageous sisters

I'm so happy for you! ❤️
Did you have a lift too ??
Yes he did a lift, and put in the JP drains. Under the arm, which is better, I don't feel them at all. But there a pain in the butt and can't wait to get them out Thursday.
How are you doing now???I'm having Explant with a lift 7/25/16 so excited I'm a 36DD and hate it, he says should be a full C after can't wait!!!
By the way they look great!!!
I'm sure yours will be beautiful afterwards. My pics might scare you, but remember I was a 40 G and had a lot of skin to tighten up. I'm seeing the Dr. next Thursday and I will get some answers to my questions about the way they are looking, excess skin under both arms, nipples different sizes, very big around the breast and flat in front. I can't fit in a B cup too much skin on the sides and a C cup there's ripples at the nipple area. I hope after they heal up and fluff up and drop a little they'll look normal, right now I'm a little freaked out. I don't mind the scars I can deal with that using silicone gel and pads,
Even after all of this I'm still so happy to have those implants out. Please kepp me posted on your surgery.
Here's a few tips I learned this past 10 days. 1st. buy enough antibacterial hand soap a few bottles of dial will do. and 2 bottles of rubbing alcohol. If you have the JP Drains they will want you to milk them several times a day. They'll show you how to do it, I would hold the end of the drain tightly (where it comes out of the skin) with 1 hand and the other hand I would have alcohol on ( so my fingers were wet) and you can slide your fingers down the plastic tubing towards the bulb so easy, and the alcohol keeps everything so sterile. I bought a long handled grabber at Walgreens it was a lifesaver to get things I dropped or cloths out of the washer and dryer. Your not going to feel like bending over for a few days. Try to start taking Arnica Montana 30X from any health food store or online, it's a great homeopathic medicine for bruising and sore muscles. I take it 2 weeks prior and 2 to 4 weeks after.
What type of lift is he doing?
Awww sweetie sorry your having a few problems I'm sure the doc with take care of it for you. Not sure what kind of lift but looks like yours at least that's what he showed me on the computer where the scar is up & down from the nipple. Did you have any lipo on your sides of breast??? I'm going to have that too on my sides of breast....thanks for all the little tips you gave me sure does help I can use all of them I can get , anxious to get it done but still nervous you know what I mean...hang in there hun!!
No lipo yet I'm thinking I may have to do that after I heal. Don't stress it'll be a breeze and they'll be gorgeous.!!!!!
Forgot to mention Doc said no drains on my lift!!
Cannot wait to hear how much better you are feeling since having them out! xx
So far the pain in my neck is 50% better.
You look great! Hang in there. Love all the women here who are so brave to get this done. I'm thinking about it and saving for it and trying to find PS in my area that will do it. Sending you good thoughts and a quick recovery
Thanks Cassie, I choose one of the most expensive PS in my area and I'm still not sure I made the right choice. I don't remember the recovery room very well except the horrible pain I was in. I didn't see him the day after when I went back or yesterday when I had the drains and steri strips removed. I'm going back next Thursday and well meet with him for sure. I'm a little freaked out about the way they look. I tryed to fit a bra yesterday and I'm to big around for a B cup and to flat for a C cup. And then I have all this swelling under my arms. It looks like I have and extra set of boobies under my arm pits. I hope it's swelling and well go away. If you look at my pics you'll notice the nipples are not even. It's only been 10 days and I hope all this changes as I heal. I sure won't want to discourage anyone from having a mastopexy and explant. I've seen some beautiful results on this forum. I'll keep you posted and please do your homework for a PS researce every PS in your area. you have the time while your waiting to save the money. Then go with your gut instincts.
Woooppp, 11 days out
I have never had pain , or needed pain relief ( except x2 paracetamol 1st day post op) I practice reiki healing and do self treatments daily, 11 days post op and everything is super, please find a reiki practitioner , blessings
I would love to do that, I'll check my insurance and see if it's covered. I'm so glad your doing so great. God bless and keep up the healing.
Can't wait to wear the clothes I wrongly thought the implants would give me confidence to do...the irony
I'm 12 days post op now , have posted a picture this morning , they look dumb fife rent sizes but that's my bad phorography and angle..
