Today I had A revision to fix my bottoming out...

Today I had A revision to fix my bottoming out & wide set implants. I was extremely unhappy with my implants done by a Dr in Canada about 6 years ago. The past year I had been experiencing a gross numb feeling every time I took my bra off. I wore only supportive bikini tops and Since the first year I wore bras 24/7 for support. I got super self conscious about how they looked.
I felt like my boobs would never be the ideal boobs i had imagined. I even contemplated getting them taken out and not replaced.
I did a lot of research and I found Dr. Pousti. I found nothing but great reviews and girls that highly recommended him and his work. Dr. Pousti and all of his staff were AMAZING. All very friendly. Dr Pousti especially made me feel completely comfortable and has great social skills. I went in hoping to replace my current 450cc saline implants with larger saline implants. I wasnt too sure but maybe in the area of 700c - 800cc but I told him the look was more important then the size. I was hoping for high rounded tops and close together. He understood the look I wanted and made me feel very confident he would be able to achieve something i would be happy with. He warned me it could be up to 900ccs. I trusted his judgement and let him decide on the ccs for what he would think would be best for me. Such a relief because of the way my implants have made me feel for the past 5+ years. The clinic goes also covers all the bases oh what to expect and possible outcomes in the paper work and at the preop. I left feeling very informed and knowing what to expect in any situation . I was completely confident I had made the best choice.
All the staff at the surgical centre were very nice, and I was not nervous until just before surgery. But Dr Pousti and staff walked into the OR with me and that was very comforting. They put me out right away ! Woke up without feeling any nausea and went home right away feeling great. At my checkup I will find out how many cc's he gave me because I forgot to ask him. With that being said I couldn't of asked for a better experience!

Feeling great

Came back to Canada earlier then planned on Wednesday. I was getting stir crazy sitting around with not much to do. I felt great and asked if I could leave early, I was given the ok. But they recommended I stay longer.
So far, I'm sleeping well. I'm sore in the morning when I first wake up. Maybe because of where the implants have settled overnight.
I'm up and mobile doing things during the day, feeling great! I'm able to raise my arms above my head and use my hands. (Not that I am). This revision has been such a breeze compared to first BA. I'm trying to stay relaxed as much as I possibly can I can.
Hoping that my bloated belly goes away soon. It's been a week and my belly is still crazy awful bloated. Also I Can't wait for my boobs to drop a bit because right now they are very wide and flat. I don't look good in tops yet.
Counting down the days until the dressings come off. They feel so bulky and feels like there's shirts stuffed under my boobs and stuff taped under my armpits. But hey whatever does the trick! I wasn't expecting that. But I have to wait and be patient..! I'm very excited for that day!
I've attached pics from yesterday day 6 in some crop tops before I took a shower.

Very friendly, excellent people skills. Very knowledgable. Seems very experienced and very confident in what he was going to do. Most importantly there was no hesitation and he made me feel good when discussing my goals and what was possible for the outcome.
