I had my breast implant replacement and pocket revision yesterday. 450cc saline changed out to 575cc moderate smooth round gel. Pain has not been even half as bad as the original surgery. So far, loving the look. I am in hopes they don't drop much because I like where they are sitting now. Because it's a revision I have to use extra support with an upward pull (so the pocket revision can settle).

They are looking really good!! Congrats! I need pocket revision also. What do you mean by extra support with "an upward pull"??? Are you referring to the dressing underneath on you crease??

Do you know how Long it will be before you can resume normal activities? Did your surgeon put a limit on the weight that you are allowed to carry? I'm just concerned about things like walking my dog and if my dog pulls on the leash, or opening a heavy door. I will discuss all of this with my own surgeon, but I'm just curious.

I'm really hoping for a great result like yours! They are very nice and round and symmetrical! I am getting my areola reduced also. Yours look excellent!

In using an ace wrap now and they have me wrapping so that it lifts upwards versus compressing. It actually feels good when wrapped. In having to really watch myself. When I take the pain Ned, I feel great and have to watch it or I do too much (like loading and unloading dishwasher and washing machine). I go back on Tuesday for more detailed instructions. Hopefully I can sit still until then.

Are you happy with them? I currently have silicone 750cc. I'm going back to saline. 550cc overfilled to 650cc. They will be narrower send more projection. I think my currant siliconeso are too wide

So far I'm extremely happy. I hope they don't drop because I love where they sit right now.

Good to hear. I feel with my current silicone I have no upper pole. I like the fake look...Hope I achieve my goal. This is my 3 revision in 3 years. This is it for me

Great results! I just got a revision, but mine do not look anything like yours lol. Maybe I'm a bit jealous over here. Are your implants already kind of soft?

Good bye ace wrap

The post op ace wrap lasted me 3 days. For me it was too wide so it kept wrinkling and causing skin irritations. So yesterday I switched to a post surgical bra I got on Amazon. Ah, so comfortable. And supportive. See pic. Not sure what the surgeon will say on Tuesday but I'm supporting the new girls so hopefully I'm good.

Today I'm exactly 1 week out. I had pocket revision so the bottoms of my breasts are sore. The left one is more so than the right. Especially today. Tylenol doesn't even touch it. My surgeon recommended keeping the girls lifted so the pocket revisions would have a chance to build some scar tissue. I think (at least in my head) that my left one is trying to drop which is NOT what we want yet. Needless to say I have a little bit of anxiety. Called the nurse and she recommended I go back to the ace wrap to lift the implants. Also going on Advil. Took about an hour but I'm starting to feel relief.

Oh, I hope you are feeling better and that by adding the ace wrap back in you are not as sore. I think it is common to feel a little blue following surgery. Your follow up appointment is tomorrow! Hopefully, your doctor will be able to put your mind at ease. I think you look beautiful, especially at only one week out. Happy healing, sweetie.
