Feeling Reprieve

Today I was actually able to put my arms high enough to make a ponytail! Yesterday I played around with some bikini tops and it felt great. On the downside, I still feel nothing in my nipples and I'm hoping it's normal 72 hours after surgery. I don't want to lose it :(

How are you feeling? Have your implants dropped yet? It's only been 5 days for me.... I'm hoping they drop soon though I know it can take a long time. I hope you are doing well. You look great so far!

I hope your recovery is going well. I'm always curious to other women who had the lift and implants. I had no idea what could go wrong and the dangers if doing a lift. After my surgery in August 2013 I got very sick with 2 infections, one was internal and the other was skin infection. My nipple died right away and Dr. Landon took my implant out when I went for post op. He left my chest open and all of my breast tissue died. I was a natural D before surgery and necrosis slowly took my whole breast. I couldn't work for 10 months and had to have 3 more surgeries. After having a huge open wound on my chest for almost a year he finally closed me and now going through reconstruction surgeries. I'm hoping within a year I will have 2 breasts somewhat similar. That surgery was the most devastating thing I've ever gone through. It's been absolute hell. It's been so emotionally draining on me. I want to write my whole story here but it's still too hard to look at my pictures or talk about it. The advice I want to give you is to not brush anything off if it is a concern to you. If you see something that doesn't seem right address it. Good luck.

It's common to not feel the nipples. It's been a year since my surgery and I still don't feel mine. Doing the lift really affects the nerves and they sometimes take a long time to feel normal again.

Did you feel them in the beginning? I had a lift also and 2 weeks post and I feel everything with them!! It's like hypersensitive!

You're one of the lucky ones. Most of the breast I can't feel anything. I've also got lumps under the skin that aren't visible but you can definitely feel it. The PS said it will eat itself up over time. We'll see. After 4 surgeries in the last year I think I'm almost done. Maybe one more surgery to get the one necrotic breast to a similar size as the other. I've just had one problem after another. I wish I never had any surgery. Every procedure I had (lift and augment, tummy tuck with lipo and lip fat grafting) lipo done 3 times left me bumpy all over and numb everywhere and lips filled 3 times and no difference. You can't tell it was done. I had I idea so many things could go wrong. What an expensive nightmare.

Today is my post op!

nugsmnJuly 25, 2014
Today is my post op visit. The dr told me to take it easy and no massages last night. He wants to show me some different techniques. I had breast a that were a little off in size so I have 350cc in one breast and 400 in the other. Since silicone sizes are pre measured, he had to use the 400 and couldn't adjust precisely. The 350 kept falling into my armpit and the 400 remedied that well. You can't really tell a size difference, that breast just appears more boxy. Once it drops it should look just like the other. I'm so happy I did it and I love them. The pain isn't as bad as I thought either. I took a half of a pain pill last night and nothing today. The worst is moving my arms but over all not too bad.
