WORTH IT
All the swelling is gone. No pain or discomfort in the left breast, but some discomfort in the right. Like when I push it in towards my middle. And I can still feel a big stitch under the skin. They are definitely staying put! I took a picture yesterday and one is slightly lower than the other, but they've hardly dropped at all since the surgery. One thing I noticed is that they are kinda far apart. But that could just be my anatomy. They don't fall to the sides much at all while laying down. In swimwear they hurt at my ribs after several hours. Some tops make them look super fake and others more natural. Want them to drop inwards a bit more, but so far very happy with the results!

2nd revision, weeks 1-3
I was pretty sore the first week. Thank god for the meds. The part that hurt the most was the sides. The drains made them look pretty scary. Having them taken out was nothing. I was expecting pain but didn't feel any when the nurse pulled them out. I felt the drains themselves but that's it.
They are dropping Very slowly. Which is a good thing. There wasn't much swelling.
My left is higher than the right, as it should be, because i'm left handed.
The only issue i'm having is also that they are dropping slowly, because we are going to Mexico on the 9th and finding a good and supportive swimsuit is a challenge. I look very fake in everything. I'm just going to have to suck it up.
The scar on the right looks like it spread and got wider. I didn't notice it till today. I'll get a pic of that part later.

wow they look great so far! hoping they heal nicely for you! have a great time on vacation! I love those suits on you too! the first red one was the best at hiding the high implants i think, but you look great in both :)
hi there! how are you doing? I hope everything is healing perfect this time! Hope all is well :)
I'm doing good, thanks! Just wrote an update of my progress. Need more time to settle, but looking much better than before!

Second revision with Strattice all done!
Surgery went very well yesterday. This revision hurts a lot more than the last time. But I have enough painkillers to last for a long time.
I have to have drains in for a week and they gave me a nice post it bra with a sewn in strap. Even though it's too early to tell how good the results will be, I am still very happy to have this done. I also had my belly button scar revised. One side looked perfect while the other was very raised. So he just cut it out and restitched it.

oh my! I didn’t realize the revision was so soon! how awesome for you! praying that this is the final fix you need. you’ve been through so much and I hope you can heal and feel great! excited to see how your BB turns out too b/c mine is thicker on one side too. happy healing to you!
sounds like you’ve been through the ringer. I was advised to get slightly larger implants when I did the BL & TT and wished I’d gone with my first choice in the end. It’s hard to know until it all said & done. I’m sure you’ll b very pleased at the end of this.
