Flat Chested After Breastfeeding, 250cc Anatomical Implants

March 1, 2017

Hello! I'm awaiting revision of 10 year old implants, also in London. Why do you feel unprepared? Can I help?

March 1, 2017

Oh that's nice, thank you! It is just that I thought at this point I would have started getting prescriptions and sports bras... But my PS's assistant said these will be ready for me. So I don't know if I am supposed to get anything else! When is your revision? What kind of implants are you getting?

March 3, 2017

Hi. Are you UK based? I think things are a little different UK vs. US. My revision is in 2 weeks exactly. I found out this week that I have a ruptured implant. I thought it was just a capsule, hence the revision. I'm going to have around 300/325 cc Mentor silicone implants. I had 280 cc 10 years ago. I'm 5' 4'' and weigh around 8 1/2 stone. My kids were 4 and 6 the first time so just told them I had a bad back and couldn't lift them. I was single then so stayed with my parents for a few days. I'm no longer single so have no worries about support. I've bought marielle bras because with the rupture any other bra is uncomfortable. These are fine post op. Are you getting surgery in London?

March 3, 2017

Hi, yes I am in London. I hope the rupture is not painful. Were you happy with your implants? I am thinking of using my breastfeeding bras but they are not front opening. I will look up the ones you recommended. Thank you!

Yes I was very happy until this complication! It came on suddenly and is quite uncomfortable, bordering on painful. Good luck for tomorrow, where are you going? Who is doing it? Just remember to follow closely the post-op advice, that makes a lot of difference.

Today is the day! I am pretty nervous... I am at Weymouth Street hospital. My PS is Mr Townley. Wish me luck!

This may not be what you mean by unprepared but I thought I'd share what I'm doing to prep as a mom: I am lining up care w my mom for a week (flying her here to stay w us). I have 2 littles, 5 and 2 and my 2 yo is pretty attached and affectionate. I won't be able to pick her up for 2 weeks at least (I think). I also bought a sit up pillow and a tray table. I plan on reading a lot and watching movies! Also I hear a travel pillow for your neck is a must. I think most doctors say to sleep at 45 degrees for at least 2 nights. I also got a lot of button down and zip up tops. Most gals say they can't lift their arms over their shoulders until about day 4 or 5 post op. I hear spray deodorant is good too. Also froze a lot of meals and plan on having fresh stuff prepped and easy to grab. I hear a back scratcher is good to have.And pants that are easy to pull on. You have to remember your pec muscles will be unusable for a few days and you don't realize how much you use them. My dr will give me a bra so I haven't bought any of those. I don't want to waste my time and money because a lot of women say they buy them too early and they end up being too small once the boobies "drop and fluff." Plus you can't really wear anything but the surgical bra for a few weeks at least and then by the time you can wear a different bra you will be able to get them then. It's tempting but wait! A pill box/organizer thing, silicone scar strips for use after a few weeks PO, pen and paper next to where you'll be camped out so you can keep track of meds, laxatives for pain med side effects of constipation.

Wow, that's very helpful! Thank you for taking the time to write all this. You are soooo organised! It's good to hear from somebody who has small children. Mine are 1.5 and 3.5 yo and I am very guilty to do this now. I explained my oldest one that I am getting my boobs "repaired" aand that I won't be able to pick her up for a while. But I am worried about the little one

My pleasure! Its good to talk to another mom who is doing this too. I'm a little worried about my little also, I'm anticipating that a day or two kids-wise may suck but it will be worth it in the end. Just count on that support system around you. I haven't said anything to my 5 yr old about it. I'm so afraid of her telling her teacher or something! I am getting a scar revised on my abdomen too so I'm just going to tell her about that and go from there.

All done! Not feeling as bad as I feared but I don't know how much medication I am under! I am pleased that I didn't feel nauseous from the anesthesia. I am staying overnight since I have 2 little ones at home. I have a very comfortable room and the staff is lovely (Weymouth Street hospital in London). I am anxious to see what my boobs look like! Watching movies and looking forward to dinner (I ordered the chocolate brownie!). I feel like this is a real treat!

Enjoy the rest! So pleased you're feeling well. Have a good sleep and follow the advice closely once you're home. Have you got plenty of support? Xx

March 9, 2017

Thank you very much! I am really enjoying the peace and quiet! Yes, my mother in law arrived today for 10 days and then my mother will come over for 10 days so should be good. I am just a bit anxious with my son, who is less than 2 and won't understand why I am not picking him up...

You just need to be strict with yourself. You really don't want any complications. Maybe if he wants to be picked up, go and sit on the sofa so he can snuggle into you? Or lay on the bed? Is there a way to private message on here??

Wonderful Experience

Ive visited Girin Plastic Surgery multiple times, and Im always impressed by the level of service. When I decided to have revision breast augmentation and non-incisional eyelid surgery, I contacted many clinics in Seoul. Out of all of them, Girin made me feel the most comfortable.
