Revision
$19,000
Just had My Revision this week, upsized Ideal implants to 580 hoping to fix my nipple slippage on left breast and give upper pole fullness, cut out vertical keloid scar and re sewed it with some more lipo to smooth things out. Going good so far I haven’t had any narcotics since leaving the ps office day of surgery have been a little dizzy and nauseous when the scopolamine patch ran out. Made it to one of my kids 3 basketball games yesterday before having to go home and take anti nausea meds and lay down. Today seems good made it to my sons basketball game sore from the lipo but just taking Tylenol muscle and pain, still very bruised and swollen but looking forward to seeing results

Made it through The first few days was definitely zombie status but very thankful for my Husband being on top of everything. I got there all the roads ended up getting closed every route do to slides and snow the 6 hr drive turned into a 15.5 hr drive but we made it even though I missed my pre op, ps had me come 15 min early the next morning for pre op pictures and sizing. The nurse was so sweet the entire time she got me all ready Anesthesiologist came over to put in my Iv and that’s the last thing I remember till I was being woken up saying my surgery was 7.5 hrs and time to wake up. Got sick headed out to the car. Dr G came over to the Airbnb to check on me the next day and take out catheter and show my husband how to give the lovenox injections, wrapping and wound care I don’t remember much of that. We ended up staying a few extra days due to weather.
Showers feel amazing even though I get worn out fast, Today my husband went back to work My dad came to help me get up to use the restroom a few times today and get the leg pumps back on pillows under my knees that’s the hardest part. Been super nauseous Threw up all my meds this morning that really hurt. But each day is getting better walking a little more and longer getting around a little better without using a walker. Trying to just use Tylenol and my antibiotics to see if it’s the muscle relaxer or gabapentin making me so nauseous/stomach upset.
4more days to go back and get the drains pulled and off the leg pumps so looking forward to that and being done with the shots.
Recovery is definitely a process boobs are very hard and everything is swollen but everything is looking better hard to see with being wrapped wondering how long for implants to drop and fluff or soften up.

You look great! Ask your Dr if you could take Motrin too...it’s much stronger than Tylenol and helps with swelling too! The pain meds could be the culprit for sure. Hope you start to feel better real soon!
He cleared me to take Ibuprofen or Motrin at my 10dpo and steered taking gabapentin at bedtime for the nerve pain. Apt went great getting the drains out was easy felt so weird no pain. Now to start skar gel and breast massages. Feels so good to not need the leg pumps compression socks and lovenox injections those things burned still have nots and bruises from them. Such a game changer in recovery getting drains removed I’ve been back on the go and my back isn’t hurting
You are right! Drains out is def way better! How are you doing?! Hope all is well :)
Looking good! (I did not feel well on all the meds either!) Is your recovery going well?
Yes it’s going good can’t wait for all the swelling to go away I look bigger than before surgery but it’s lots of swelling super tight wich makes my Bb press into garment taking awhile to heal, night time is always when I’m definitely more swollen I moved to a better compression garment so hopefully will help. staple trying to come out under breast it was hurting keeping me up but is getting better I can’t wait for the 4-6 months to see how everything will settle with breast and tummy
Yes that swelling can be a pain..I remember that I looked flatter but my jeans from before surgery didn’t fit. It was all swell! It will get better each week for you! Hang in there!
How are you doing? Hope all is well :)

Talked with my nurse yesterday she was so sweet and comforting all the office staff I have talked with have been amazing. Picked up my Rx last night, super excited Monday is pre-op and Tuesday morning is surgery day. Getting my car ready, bags packed and kids ready to go to Grandmas will be a busy fun weekend.

Good Luck today! The mommy makeover was the best thing I ever did! You’re going to be thrilled! Keep us posted on your journey!
Hope everything went well yesterday! Update when you can!
I will post some pics here soon was definitely a zombie the first few days each day is getting better still can’t get out of recliner or bed myself but once I’m up walking more each day super nauseous though vomiting is no fun hurts bad
Yes I needed some help that first week too! That whole first month for me was very up and down. One day I felt like I could conquer the world and the next day I felt like a baby lol! Sorry you are nauseous, you’re right that is the worst :( Happy healing to you!
Feeling so much better once I got off all the pain meds I’m thinking it was the robaxin muscle relaxer side effect said upset stomach nausea vomiting
