Stitches and drains out !
WORTH IT
I feel wonderful today! It was a bit painful and scary when the doc took out my drains.
He said the holes would close on its own.
Loving the results! Small boobs but all natural!! Feeling great today!
Boobs look smaller than before I did implants. Doctor said that's normal because the implants thinned out my natural breast tissue. Hopefully it'll magically grow back! Haha
Thanks for everyone's support!

Massage?
Hi ladies!
How long did you wait until you got a massage? Like a regular Swedish or deep tissue massage.
I also notice that my right side barely has anything to drain. Is it because it was already deflated prior to explant and my skin already shrunk back?

Dirty hair, itchy scalp
Dear ladies,
The hardest part of this healing process is not being able to shower. I know every surgeon is different. Some allow patients to shower on the same day after the procedure. Unfortunately, my PS is not one of them. Plus, I still have drains attached. (Still draining around 1mL per breast twice a day).
How did you ladies deal with dirty hair or itchy scalp during the healing process if you did not get to shower?
I usually wash my hair daily. So I never had hair this "dirty". Even though it's perfectly normal for some people to not wash their hair for a week and rely on dry shampoo.
My scalp is itching like crazy and my hair turned into an oil slick like I was pregnant with oily hair again.
Yikes!!

Glad to hear you aren't draining much. I used dove dry shampoo, equate makeup remover wipes and bird baths in the tub to stay clean until I could shower late on the third day. I shampoo daily or twice daily so that part really sucked!

I have dry shampoo that my friend boight for me from Alterna but it's too fragrant. Maybe I will try Dove dry shampoo.

I had previously tried the suave dry shampoo and it was super stinky! The dove one is a bit more pleasant. I'm pretty picky about scents too:(

My surgeon said I could shower after 48 hrs so I took my first shower yesterday. Since you are draining less you should be able to take your drains out soon. That is great news. :)

I should call his office and see if I could take out the drains sooner!!! Ahhhh can't wait until Wednesday!! :(

Can you wash your hair in the sink maybe? I was able to shower 24 hours after with drains in, they just told me to attach them to a necklace or something around my neck so they wouldn't hang on me. It was awkward and difficult to do, I mostly held on to them with one hand while I tried using my other to wash up. I also was only draining 10 cc's in a 24 hour period, so I called and asked if I could get my drains out early. They let me get them out 2 days after explant! Haven't had any trouble with swelling since.

My surgeon told me to spongebath only. I've been washing my bottom/lady parts in the tub using a handheld shower hose.
Sadly, washing my hair in my kitchen sink would probably not work. I wonder if I can go to a salon or those blowout salons and just have them wash my hair while I lay down.

I think most places would do a quick shampoo for you. Early my third day I kneeled on the floor in front of the bathtub and had a husband wash my hair in the tub with a handheld sprayer because I couldn't handle the dirty hair anymore. The sink was too high for me, I'm short!! I used towels to cushion and block the water.

Go buy some dry shampoo and conditioner!!! You just massage it into your scalp. I have OCD and have to shower everyday, that was the worst part when I got my implants in!

I was going to suggest the kitchen sink as well. If it's too painful to lift your arms maybe a really awesome friend could wash it in the sink for you. If neither of these are an option something else you can do is use baby powder in your hair. That will soak up some of the oil. This may not work if you have dark hair unless you can whip up a batch of dry shampoo for dark hair (pretty much cocoa powder and corn starch I think.) Good luck and congrats on your explant!

Thanks for the tip! My hair is oily and I have dry shampoo... But the main problem is my itchy scalp! Plus it doesn't hell that there's a heat wave today in where I live.
Hopefully I can itch until Wednesday or find another way to was my hair :)
