One year post op

The swelling went completely after 5-6 months and they softened and dropped after 6-7 months. The scars are barely visible. I panicked a bit at first because one breast was more swollen than the other and even after the swelling went down and away it is still slightly bigger but looking back over past photos i have always had one breast slightly bugger than the other and even though they are a good shape they have never been perfectly symetrical and having implants just majes it more obviouse. I am really happy with them though. I originally intended on having 300cc medium profile but ended up getting 410cc hp on my surgons reccomendation. I went from a 34 A/32B to 34DD/34E it is harder to find sexy Bras and underwear for larger breasts especially when your also a slim uk size 8. But i am used to them now. I exersize and lift weights at the gym snd have had no problems with them. I make sure they are strapped down with a bra snd sports bra when working out.

4 weeks post op

So maybe I was over reacting. My right breast is starting to get slightly rounder and higher to match the left so it could be just capsule formation. They are gradually feeling rounder and softer too. I tried on bras and I am now a 34DD uk size. I started off a 34 A. I am happy with breasts and the size but I would recommend to anyone with the same stats as me who is thinking of getting 410cc to consider these things; I would say my size is slightly more eye catching it is definitely a marked change that people will notice and also it is harder to get nice sexy bras in DD size and above in England I don't know about anywhere else. I am happy with them though and would not change anything if I could go back in time. I am now taking vitamin e and vitamin b6 and pro biotics to aid my recovery. Thanks to all the lovely ladies for there positive comments, tips and advice. It has really helped a lot and I really appreciate it. Xxxxx

3 weeks post op

So I took my full 2 week course of anti biotics and have started taking probiotics to replace the good bacteria in my stomach. I am slightly worried about my left breast which is hard and swollen it suddenly became like that around the 7th day post op. I waited two weeks before contacting my surgeon because it was not painful just a little extra sore and I thought it might just be swelling. But It has been two weeks now and it has not gone down. I contacted my surgeon via e-mail with a description and photos and he called me straight away literally 2 minutes after I sent the message. He said it may be fluid/bleeding and to keep my left arm as immobile as possible and In a sling in the evening! He said it is to early to capsular contracture because the capsual has not formed properly yet. If it is fluid I would rather have it drained strait away to avoid the higher risk of capsular contracture fluid in the breast pocket can cause. I shall wait a bit longer, follow my surgeons advice. Does anyone no what I can take or do to reduce swelling, help soften my breasts and get rid of liquid/bleeding?

Dr Alejandro Nogueira was a very friendly informative man. Completely professional with a caring compassionate manner. He talked through the whole process with me and always asked if I had any questions. I find him unconventional but only in the best way. His anesthetist Dr Salmones was also very professional and reassuring. I would certainly Use Dr Nogueira again with anything cosmetic I may require in the future. I highly recommend him.
