11wks post replacement and Allergan honoured the warranty!
Today I received confirmation that Allergan have recognised my ruptured implant is eligible for £700 contribution towards surgery costs. They already issued the implants for surgery free of charge, so thereby saving a total of £1400 against the cost of the replacement surgery. Good news and always helpful post Christmas!!
I've noticed some rippling on my left breast which I was always going to be high risk for given the measly amount of natural breast tissue in relation to the size of the implant. I'll try and get a photo uploaded... I can see as well as feel it unfortunately- I won't lie, I am disappointed, but in the scheme of things it's pretty minor isn't it?!
They definitely feel softer and more 'malleable' than my previous anatomical implants and in all honesty I'm not sure I prefer it?! I can really feel the implant edges (I can pinch them between my finger and thumb) as opposed to the old anatomical ones where I could feel where the implant ended but not so I could get my fingers around it. It's not a problem to me, like the alternative of empty sacks of tissue and skin would have been if I'd chosen to explant.
I'm able to sleep on my side (and tummy again). Still wearing sports bra or tubigrip overnight as advised by my surgeon.
I'm wearing a 32F bra - before surgery I was wearing a 34D. Before the very first surgery I was 34A!
Scars are healing nicely.
I'm still happy I chose to replace.
Happy healing everyone xx

No regrets
Nearly 5 weeks post op and no regrets. Feeling fab!
Looking over my photos and I can say that I prefer the look of the round implants and how they give me better upper pole fullness

4wks post op and an update on the lump!
I saw the GP on Wednesday- she had no idea what the lump was and referred me back to the surgeon. He managed to fit me in today which was a relief to get it out of the way...
After examination he confirmed that the lump is nothing to be concerned about. He explained that when the old implants were removed, he retained the fibrous capsule as it was very healthy and in great condition. When he replaced the implants he had to stitch up the capsule which requires an element of overlap of both parts of the capsule. The lump is basically the end of the capsule closure where there has been a higher degree of overlap. It might not ever disappear but if it does it will be at least 12-18mths. That is a little disappointing though I am grateful it was nothing more concerning.
I am still so pleased with my results (as is my husband 'wink wink ')
