I have always been flat chested all my life. I never wore a bikini so this was something I have always wanted to do. I did research on my doctor and he had great reviews and I knew he was the one I wanted to do the surgery. I went on January 16th 2015 for my surgery. It was under the muscle. He did 345cc in my right and 335 cc in my left. I was really sore for over a week or 2 and couldnt do anything. Luckily I stayed at my moms house for a week so she could take care of me. I have read how alot of women didnt experience pain after the first week or two but I was very sore. They sat very high up in my chest. I went to have my stitches removed on Feb 3rd and that hurt like hell. She pretty much just pulled a big string out from under my boob. I had internal stitches that would take months to dissolve but I also had stitches under my breast. The nurse then proceeded to show me how to massage them and the doctor said everything looked good. About 1 week later I noticed my incision came open a little bit and clear yellow-ish fluid was coming out. I went to the doctor the next day which was on Feb 19th for him to put 3 stitches in to try and let it close. That also hurt like hell. I felt every bit of that needle and thread going through my skin, my eyes started to water. He wanted to see me back in a week to see if the hole would close. Well, IT DIDNT! it was still leaking a small amount of fluid. He said (which scared the hell out of me) that he needed to go back in to do a "Scar Revision" and Washout and suture me back up. He said to be there the very next day because the implant was not exposed and we could still save it. SO on my sons birthday, Feb 27th i went back in under anesthesia for him to take the implant out and wash it and close me back up. The pain after that was nothing compared to the first surgery. My right breast was completely fine. This was only my left one. He let those stitches stay in for another few weeks and then took them out. Well now it is over 2 weeks after the stitches came out and I noticed 2 small pinhole leaks. I am freaking out because I dont know why this keeps happening to me. I have been so careful not to lift or reach for anything. I keep checking the pinhole size leaks to see if they are getting worse but they only leak a drop or two a day. The doctor called me in more antibiotics that i started to take for the third time today. I am going to have to go back to see him on monday .I really hope this scar doesnt open again because i have a feeling he might want to take out the implants for a few months and put them back in. I mean, What else can be done? I see all these people healing and going back to work 7 days after surgery and healing fine and then i look at what I am going through for the past few months. They both look great ( I wish he would have went bigger) but this incision is not healing. I hope these pinholes close up and I can go back to my normal life.

I have a hunch you're doing everything right with your post op care. These things happen and they're just annoying because you want to get on with your regular life. Glad you're under close care with your doctor. Hang in there and please keep us posted

Back Under the Knife!!

Well the two "pinholes" did not heal. I went back to my doctor and he said for some reason, my body is not wanting to heal properly. The scar was a dark purple color and he said he had to go back in and stitch me up. He also said that beneath the thin layer of skin behind my scar was the implant. It was not yet exposed but it could eventually open. I had no sign of infection at all, it was just my body not wanting to heal. I quit smoking cigarettes but i drink alot of caffeine daily. The doctor told me i might not be eating as healthy as i should. I feel like a black cloud is hanging over my head. Needless to say, I went in on April 3rd 2015 for my second scar revision surgery. He grabbed a bunch of new tissue and stitched me back up. The odds of me healing are not in my favor. If it opens again I will have to take them (or just the left one) out for 2 months. So I took another week off work to heal. Im not in any pain, just a little sore. I cant believe I have had 3 operations done in 3 months. Its sad when you text back and forth with the nurse from your plastic surgeons office. They have been a great help though. Im lucky they have been understanding and have not charged me any money for any of this. Im so scared that the incision will come open again. I need to stop being a "negative Nancy" but its hard not to think about the worst possible scenario. I am now 4 days after my second scar revision surgery, praying that things heal greatly. I will post again in a week or two and tell you how I'm doing. BTW- Thank you to all the woman on this website sharing your stories. I know your stories have helped me through this process. --** JESSICA

Re-implant done 2 weeks ago

jstout7
After having my implants removed in April, 2015, I was so self-conscious and I fell into such a depression. I could not believe this was happening to me. I had my implants in for a few months so I went and bought new clothes and told my friends, then I had to have them removed and was left with ugly scars and I looked like a 12 year old girl. I almost lost my job and didnt want to leave my house. My surgeon and his staff were amazing and understanding. He wanted to see me back about 10-11 months later so when I went to see him this past Jan, he said I looked great and we could go ahead and schedule to put new implants in. On Feb 10 2016, he went through the same incision and under the muscle again. Its been 2 weeks and I am a nervous wreck. I am SO scared that my incision is going to open again. My surgeon went 240cc in my Left and 250 cc in my right. Which is 100 cc less than the first time. There was no infection last time, and I guess my skin was just too thin to support the implants. I pray that this time everything goes well. I am so scared and I dont know what I would do if this time something goes wrong. I just wanted to put an update on here. Wish me luck with everything and pray that I heal good.

Hi. I'm 3 weeks post BA and the incision on my left breast opened 8 days ago with light yellow drainage. I called my ps office immediately and notified them and they only said to put neosporin and gauze on it. They didn't even want me to go in to be seen, and didn't recommend antibiotics. It's not better, but not worse and still draining. I'm so nervous. I just want it to heal! I searched on here for open incisions and came across your review. I read you had to take out your first set of implants. I can not even imagine how that process felt. I was wanting to know how you are doing now. I hope your second set healed well!
