I will go in On March 2nd and I'm nervous. I'm also writing a review for the lipo. I'm 47 and my implants were to big when I got them 15 years ago and I was in a lot of pain back then because of the size of the implant. Now I'm going in for smaller implants and using the new ultra high profile implants per my doctors recommendation. I will post pics after. We are doing a lift and making my nipple smaller too. I'm currently a size 12 and a 38 E. My breasts sag. My doctor will have to make my pocket smaller and that is supposed to cause me the most pain. Again....extremely nervous.

Here are my before photos. Nervous about tomorrow but really trust Dr. Dubin and his staff. Staying 2 nights at Recovery Retreat in Costa Mesa. Will try to post tomorrow if I'm able. I'm also having lipo on bra line fat, flanks and stomach.

Breast lift and smaller implant exchange has not been that painful at all. A little burning sensation where sutures are but if wore off. Mostly discomfort. The doctor had to close my breast pocket because I was getting a smaller implant and that is what causes the most pain. I'm staying at an aftercare home which has been a huge help. I strongly recommend an electric recliner to sleep in. I bought a lazy boy for $700 bucks off of the floor. A smaller one. Managing pain with Percocet and Valium. Using ambien to sleep. Lipo is uncomfortable feels like soreness from a workout...a hard workout and lots of oozing. Everything is tolerable. I don't know how much fat was sucked out but will find out today at my post opp visit and post. Lots of swelling and bruising which is normal.
