WORTH IT$7,500
Hello ladies
you all and this site have been such a great emotional support for me. thank you. thank you.
I'm 4 days post op emergency surgery (14 days post op original surgery) My right side looks and feels AMAZING!!!! the pain where the implant was almost touching my collar bone is gone and I feel so light and exciting to use my body again. My left is behind of course and is bruised from the traumatic hematoma swelling. But.... I got my drain out today and can take a shower tomorrow. YEAH!. I and wearing an ace wrap which I was really looking forward to being done with this weekend. Now I will have to wear for longer for my left breast. I'm was really worried about distortion and scar tissue build up from the emergency surgery but am feeling a little less anxious about that today. I'm going to trust that this all happened for a reason and that everything is going to turn out wonderfully! I see Dr. Feng back in Ohio on February 4th. I'm looking forward to seeing her reaction to my left breast after my local surgeon fixed me up. I'm hoping for reassurance that it is all just great! Good luck with all of your healing! And remember take time for yourselves and slow down when you are recovering! Don't move too fast and don't take for granted feeling so great! you still need to let your body have time to heal! if my story can help prevent any of you from an artery burst it is so worth it! xoxo

Listen to Yiur Doctor and nurses... I ruptured an artery moving to much!
So everything was going unbelievably well! Very little pain. 10 days post op it was time to remove the water prof bandages and take a real shower! I asked my husband to help get my daughter out of her crib and change her diaper before he left for work. He got her out of the crib but left me to change her diaper. Big mistake!! Changing her in the floor (I couldn't lift her to the changing table) I really extended my left arm and lifted her legs. Heavy little almost 2 year old legs. I felt the pop and my left breast immediately swelled! My perfect little old boob recreation and 10 days of healing was out the door. I had surgery by a local and not friendly plastic surgeon to repair the artery and remove the hematoma blood! He went in through the same inframammary incision that Doctor Feng used 10 days earlier. I will have the drain in for 8 days. And start recovery all over again. It want worth it! Obviously! Get the help you need! Restrict Your movement! Rest! Heal!

Emotionally I was flying high yesterday counting my blessings and thanking God for leading me to Dr Feng. Today I'm in the dumps and feeling horrible for the mistake I made! Your posts and encouragement help! Thank you!
So sorry about your injury! Thank you so much for the warning! I am 4 days postop and have been feeling so good today I was ready to do some light housework. Now I think I will just relax and watch TV (again). I hope your recovery gets back on track quickly!
yes! stay put! I hope my posts help others. I am 6 days post second op and 16 days post original op. my right side feels like ready to fly. my left is very tender and sore and I can already tell that the scarring is going to need to be released by Dr. Feng. which will mean one more surgery now to release the scar. or... maybe i will be able to do some massage to help it once the incision is healed. sending peace and healing your way. and strength to keep taking it easy.
I'm so sorry hear about your setback...I wish you speedy recovery from this! I just got mine out today and I will heed your advice and be extra cautious with my movements.
Wondering how your recovery is goin? Sending healing wishes and prayers.
Oh nooooo! So sorry you had such s big set back! It will all be ok... At least you are on the right path to being yourself again and truly healing (because healing with implants in is not really healing, is it?! Ugh. I can't wait to have mine out... I have to wait until March. I will heed your warning. Thanks for posting.
Very scary! I am having surgery with Dr. Feng in March and will be taking care of my 2 year old daughter as well. Thank you for the warning! I hope you are recovering well!
Thank you! I'm just paranoid because my left breast doesn't look or feel anything like it did after Dr. Feng fixed me up. I'm afraid I'm going to have to have her repair his repair. Argh! All the best to you! Enjoy Dr. Feng and what she will do for you. She is amazing! All the best!

9 days post op
everything still going better than i even imagined!
Dr. Feng is really just that amazing! I still have pretty much no pain.
so from the day of my surgery up until now 9 days post op I have taken 2 anti-inflamatory pills and 2 extra strength tylenol... and those were the first 2 days post op... that is it!!!! no narcotics at all!
Dr. Fengs post op care is just fantastic!
I am taking homepathic arnica to prevent bruising. I am limited to moving my arms like a t-Rex dinosaur for 7 more days. no lifting over 5 pounds. eat healthy foods. I am doing all these things which are are contributing to this great and painless recovery. waiting on some photos to post from Dr. Fengs office.

Thanks for your advice. I have my surgery with Dr. Feng this Wednesday. On my way to Ohio now!
I wish you the best and hope that when you are all healed up that Dr. Feng will be able to help you again.
Thanks again for reaching out to me and I will keep you in my thoughts. You have been through so much!
I shared your story with my husband as well. We have three kids (one is in college) and I am so used to running around everywhere. Thankfully, I'm taking a leave of absence from work for 4-6 weeks...yikes, to heal up.
Just returned from Ohio late last night and very blessed to say that I implant free thanks to the meticulous and amazing work of Dr. Feng and her staff!
You were correct when you said that I would be in great hands. Dr. Feng is a compassionate, caring, and brilliant surgeon!
She and her staff went above and beyond to make sure that I received top quality care.
I plan on writing more about my surgical experience with Dr. Feng and the positive impact it has had on my life. I'm only four days post op and so blessed to be able to breathe again and for new beginnings.
Hope that you are feeling better and thanks again for your support.
