So far so good. I still have movement.....i was hoping I would have none but probably unrealistic. I like the position of them so much better....they are starting to look like the S shape i want. Before I felt so wide around my armpits...now sitting lower my nipples point forward more....the lower pole looks more rounded and around my armpit goes in some....

I am still fighting with the problem boob as it still is higher and seems smaller/ tighter than the other.....i really hope it will match the other.

When you bend over to touch your toes (or whatever) how do they behave? Mine look so weird. The pocket swallows the implants and I'm left with my original mound - which because of the large pocket and gravity is piled to my chest. Flex is ugly here to.

Well it is looking alot better than before. Still moves laterally but my one boob no longer moves up to my collar bone. Seems like he fixed it. I am hoping they continue to improve. I am glad I got my revision. I just wish my one boob would react the same as my good boob.....they dont look much different to anyone else just looking now but I can feel when I move my bad boob doesnt "hang" and move as independently as my good one.

I have that problem with my right, it's about 2 inches higher and just feels differently. I'm getting a revision next Friday... He said he'd bring it down.

I know its nerve racking but I'm sure he can fix it. Plus it's hard to know how a person's body is going to react. There's a fine line because I'm sure they don't want us to bottom out either. I'm still hoping mine will fall a little more

I've been following your story for a while now and am so glad you went ahead with your revision. You look a million times better! I'm an athlete too and thanks to your story I am asking PS additional questions then I might have otherwise. I'm looking at spring break for my BA. Thanks and a continued good luck with your recovery!

10 Day! So wanting to RUN!

User Avatar

Well I just wrote a big long update review and something happened to it and erase all of it, so I don't feel like writing another one again so this will be a condensed version. I am so happy that I got the revision and wish I would not have waited so long to do it. I never knew how squishy, soft and jiggly my implants could feel. I thought my initial results we're just normal for me because of how much I workout. I am so happy that I got the revision and wish I would not have waited so long to do it.

Today I am 10 days post op and I personally feel like I am very close to what my breast will look like end result. I am amazed at how quick everything has healed. For my initial sx I had boxy boobs for months!

I'm getting very antsy and impatient because I healed extremely fast and feel 110% but Im told that I have to wait 6 weeks to run. I don't want to mess up my results so I'm trying very hard to follow my surgeon directions. I normally run 40 to 50 miles a week and I work in a fitness setting so it is difficult to not workout. I am concerned about losing fitness.
Does anyone know why we have to wait till long to run? I could understand if it was my first surgery because I feel like it takes longer to heal. I feel like how fast a woman can return to running should be more individualized instead of a blanket 6 weeks. Is there anything I could do so that I could run? Even if I have proper undergarments? And what is the Exact reason why I can't? What could happen?
Just curious? I wont jeopardize my results but I am curious about the reason?

Check out the difference so far from my before video and the one I did this morning.

Also is there a way to know if our pocket is fully healed ect?

They look so good! Congrats. As for running I believe is the constant up and down movement (even with supportive bra). It's like a constant impact to the healing capsule created for the implant that's is trying to heal. It can cause the implant to be malpositioned. I researched exercise after BA a lot because I was so ansy to get back to working out and decided in the end to wait the full 6 weeks before running and upper body weight training. The good thing about being fit is that your body will bounce back quickly. Good luck.

They look soooooo good! I'm jealous! I can't wait for my surgery! The look natural and soft. You probably haven't bra shopped yet but what sz sports bra are you wearing?

I'm amazed by the difference already! They look phenomenal, and so soft! I would definitely listen to your PS about exercise restrictions. I'm not sure of their reasonings but I'm sure the restrictions are in place for a reason.

Wow I never understood "drop and fluff" I dont think I ever fully dropped a fluffed with my first augmentation. I had always thought they sat a little high but didnt realize how much better shape and feel they could have. As of right now I Love my right boob it is looking great....the nipple is more centered than it ever was and i dont feel so "fat/full" in my axillary area. I am now waiting for my left boob to catch up. It was the one that needed the most work. He said I heal very quick and he could hardly see my scars from before and it is looking the same this time around BUT the healing on the inside of my body is different and something that I cant really control. It is what caused all the issues. I had alot of scar tissue and adhesions as well as a huge pocket superiorly on my left side. My implant would not freely move independently of my muscle so when I would flex my implant would move everywhere with my muscle. He said he has never seen this and this isn't "normal" muscle flex movement - it is normal for them to move some when u flex. Anyways....I am now just waiting for swelling to go down on my stubborn boob and catch up with the other. I FEEL 100% AND AM HAVING WITHDRAWLS FROM RUNNING AND WORKING OUT. I am on strict orders not too. I am also prescribed singular in hopes it will stop the scar tissue formation. I hope this works......progression pics of first week (I was very bloated after sx)

I don't have a date yet, but it should be in the next few weeks. Good luck with rest of ur recovery. PS how long before u can run? I forgot to ask my surgeon yest erday. X

My surgeon told me I can't run for 6 weeks! I personally feel like this is conservative. I felt 100% 5 days post op and I heal SUPER fast. I am now 10 days post op and No running is killing me as I work in a fitness setting and I normally run 40 - 50 miles a week. But I dont want to mess up my result either. Everyday my boobs look better and better. I cant believe how soft, squishy and jiggly they are. They were never like this my first time around. I am so happy I decided to fix them despite being so nervous about it. My surgeon was wonderful. You might as about a neosubpectoral placement to fix your pocket issue. The success rate from what I understand is higher than preforming pocket suturing. Regardless the biggest choice is making sure you picked the right surgeon and you trust him. My guy was so wonderful. I sure hope you get everything you want! I would have never guessed how much better I would feel about my body :) Wish you the best and keep me posted!
January 31, 2015
What's the difference between sutures and neo subpectoreal? I'm training for a marathon just now and I normally excersise 5 days a week so I feel ur pain. U sound so happy now. I honestly can't wait till I feel that way to. I do trust my surgeon, he,s a nice guy. I will keep u posted. :) x
