2 month revision update
$4,500
So it's been 2 months since my revision surgery. I had bottomed out on both breasts and had a capsularraphy done. The recovery was harder. And I was very worried about bottoming out again. So I have worn an underwire bra constantly and underwire sports bras to bed. A couple weeks ago I stopped wearing a bra to bed. But I still wear a good supportive bra all day long. So far they are doing really great. I'm going to post a picture but I'll try to take some better ones later.

Bottomed out :( :( :(
Sorry it's been forever since I updated. I am now 7 and a half months post op. Although I started bottoming out at 4 months post op. I've bottomed out in both breasts. Apparently my skin wasn't strong enough to hold such large implants. I hate my boobs right now. When I lay down flat they completely separate and fall into my armpits. And when I lift my arms up my nipples point to the ceiling. My revision surgery is December 1st so 1 week from today. I'm going to get internal sutures so try and help hold up the implant. And I will have to wear an underwire bra pretty much constantly to make sure my implant doesn't break through the sutures. I really hope this never happens to me again :( it's horrible and I hate the way they look and feel at the moment.

Oh no! Are you doing the same /same size implant? Or going smaller? That sucks because they looked wonderful! Is your Dr footing the bill for the second surgery!? If not, he should. He should have known that your breast tissue was weak when you had your consultation and recommended a smaller implant.

I'm actually going with the same size. But they are going to make a stinger suture on the inside using some rib cartilage or something like that. I'm going to have to wear bras religiously. And I don't really blame my surgeon because I didn't wear bras. I'd come home from work and take my bra off. I'd say 90% of the time I was braless. Which was actually pretty stupid on my part so it was probably my fault. When you get large implants bottoming out is a lot more common when you don't eat bras. So I'm going to be wearing one all the time. Even when I sleep. At least for a year or two. That's the price you pay for big boobs and a small fram I guess lol. But she is donating her time. I'm not paying her but I do have to pay for the operating room and anesthesia so it will be $1500 to get this revision

Lol, I knew what you meant. And weird. I got 371cc which obviously arent as big as yours, but I didn't wear anything but sports bras until 3mos post. I went braless more often than not as well and I didn't have issues. But best of luck to you!! Shouldn't actually be so bad the second time around, because you know exactly what to expect.

Mine were 455 ultra high profiles. It was actually the largest they could fit on my frame

1 month post op
Hi. I will be one month post op tomorrow so this is a day early but my surgeon showed me my massage techniques at my 3 week post op. These massages have made an amazing difference in my squishiness. I'll post a video but to explain it: push the implants together in the middle and hold for 30 seconds, push he implants up from the bottom for 30 seconds, and then push the implants out to the sides for 30 seconds. Then you want to grab the implant with both hands and rotate one way 4 times and then the opposite way 4 times. And do that on both breasts. I was told to do all of this twice a day so I do it when I wake up and before I go to bed. Also I know I'm kind of a chunky monkey so ignore my belly flab, lol. I was told to continue wearing a bra throughout the day but I can sleep without a bra now. And I can sleep in any position as long as it doesn't hurt.
