Breast implants - Two years on
Two years on and so happy with my breast implants. The scarring is so faint you can hardly see it. I'm focusing in a calorie controlled diet now to get where I want to be weight/shape wise so will post a pic when I've lost a bit more weight but for now finally plucked up the courage to post a pic of my boob job now that everything is completely healed/settled and scars are faded. The implants are 325cc textured silicone, over the muscle. I had them inserted through the underside breast crease.

Hi Ladies, haven't really updated properly for a while so I thought it was about time :)
I had my 2nd check up with my PS yesterday (7 and a half weeks PO). She is really pleased with everything. The swelling is rapidly going down, the scar is healing well and my breasts have dropped and are softening up nicely.
My PS has recommended keeping up with the bio-oil everyday and the silicone sheeting which I'm happy to do (although the scar itself doesn't bother me - I'm just glad I've got a flat tum and a waist again).
I'm not allowed to take the binder off yet, have to keep wearing that for another 4 weeks and then I can start to take it off for a few hours and then slowly get rid of it for good. I have a love-hate relationship with my binder though, I hate it, it annoys me, especially sleeping in it, but I don't feel safe without it! Hopefully in another month I will feel more comfortable taking it off. At the moment, the only times I'm not wearing it is in the shower or during sex.
I'm allowed to start exercising properly in another 4 weeks too, although I can start skipping in about 2 weeks (as long as I wear a supportive sports bra). Skipping isn't really something I'm keen on but it's better than nothing :) but will get back into Zumba and ab work as soon as these 4 weeks are up.
One thing I've found that has really helped with my swelling and bloating and my general well-being is I've started a low-carb/low-sugar eating plan - I've really seen a difference in the amount of swelling in the evening - definitely not as much as before and in myself, I feel heaps better. I talked to my PS about this, and she' given me the ok to continue with this way of eating and with the Aussie summer only a couple of months away, I've definitely got some motivation!!
I will post an 8 week PO pic when I get there :)
Hope all you ladies are doing well, it makes this experience so much easier knowing that I'm not going it alone xx

Wow, your tummy is so flat! You look great for just having surgery, is all your swelling gone already? Your waist is itty bitty!

Hi JuneBug - thanks for the compliment! I'd say about 90% of the swelling has gone. I still get a bit swollen as the day progresses and by the evening, it's not as flat as the morning but I know that's normal. I think I've been lucky with the swelling though, it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I swear by pineapple juice though and have started a low carb, low sugar eating plan that has really helped!!

I think I will go get some pineapple juice(-; I have been taking bromelain(comes from pineapple). I am not sure if it's helping but I seem to bee healing pretty fast. I think the juice would be a tasty alternative. I love carbs! I don't know how you do it!

Yeah, the pineapple juice is pretty yummy! I'm addicted :) letting go of the carbs was hard (especially sweet potato) but I want to feel good for summer - I keep telling myself it'll be worth it :)

My tummy looks similar - I hope my results are even half as good as yours! You look great!
