WORTH IT$4,000
3 days post op, lots of pain still; went 500cc's undermuscle, high profile, Natrelle Silicone. The pain has been tolerable with medicine but the worst part of all of this was the after effect of the antibiotics given prior to surgery. My whole upper body & face is covered in a bright red rash & my entire face is covered in pin dot sized pustules. Im taking Tetracycline as well now to fight this. The only place on my body where the rash hasn't migrated are my arms and lower back.

5Days Post Op
Feeling much much better. Rash has almost entirely cleared from my face. The rest of the rash has diminished but is still there. Haven't taken any pain medicine for almost an entire day as well so I think the worst is behind me. My right breast has become slightly red around my nipple. There is no heat, itch or pain, but my PS has placed me on an antibiotic just in case. I can't wait to be free of all of the medicine I'm taking....sigh....will be seeing my PS this afternoon and will find out exactly what the redness is all about and will also be told if I can start my massage today which I'm very much wanting to do. I feel like I've already softened to some degree but definitely have the "boxy" feeling up top. When my arms are lifted, the implants have a lovely rounded look(wish they'd stay that way when I dropped the arms;) will keep posted on the days events!!!

Hi there. Alexandra, RN.
Your PS placed you on two separate antibiotics in a 5 day period?
Also, when your rash appeared, did you send a photo to your surgeon or assisting Nurse?
They should have kept a close contact with you during your recovery process..and should still be contacting you regarding your feelings and healing.
Has your surgeon or nurse given you a breast strap yet?
Best,
Alexandra

The redness around your areola: I notice you had the crease insision site. In my experience, your areola would become red and irritated due to the stretching from the implant size...

Thankyou very much for this response Alexandra:)
My PS put me on the Clindamycin to treat possible infection until I could see her. She wanted me in immediately but I couldn't drive comfortably until today:( I started the Tetracycline as shortly after surgery, the same dermatitis I had on my face several months ago became apparent in the exact same spot, right next to my nose. I contacted my PS immediately and my boyfriend drove me to her on Sunday(2 days post op). She agreed that I stay on the tetra for now and since, the dermatitis has completely disappeared thank goodness!:)
On Sunday, there was no sign of redness whatsoever. I'm booked in with her in 45 minutes so hopefully my mind will be put at ease then. As for the strap, when I was referred to the gal who does the fittings for the post surgical bras, she told me I would not need one:(....

That's actually a wonderful thing to hear. I am still having to use my strap. It is terribly uncomfortable.
Update me on your visit with your PS! I'd love to hear the results.

So so frustrated:( basically because I have ZERO signs of infection and am experiencing nothing more than what she has seen, we are at a bit of a stand still. I'm feeling defeated. She thoroughly examined my breasts, sides of my body and stomach. She performed massage exercises on my breasts and in doing so. Also felt both implants were fine. I asked about the possibility of the strap and she said definitely not. I asked if it could be a hematoma and she said no. She prescribed me something else similar to Benadryl for the rash & a topical steroid cream as well. As for the redness around my breast. She markered it and wants me to contact immediately if the redness crosses any of the border. All of my taping/dressings were removed and everything looks perfect. No bruising, oozing etc.....I hate going to bed with no definitive answers:(

It sounds like a rejection to me. However, it may just be an irritation. My body broke into a minor rash like hives from the surgical tape. The adhesive is abrasives to the skin (depending on the type) the main questions are, is it very painful? Are you comfortable? Staying hydrated? Using lotions to allow your skin to expand? Preop were you taking any multivitamins or vitamin e?

I woke up this morning to the redness around my breast barely noticeable & my entire body is 95% GONE. I can think of only 2 reasons this may be?: 1. The PS removed all of the waterproof tape and layers from my incision site(perhaps I was allergic to one of the the components of that?), or 2. What had 1st given me this rash(antibiotic etc) is finally leaving my body. I sent a ton of pictures this morning to my PS & she is very pleased that I am this much better. I have yet another appointment with her this Friday afternoon(1 week post op & my 3rd apt since surgery) & will finally be able to start doing my massages:) Yayyy:) :)

Your body must be detoxing. That sounds great. Solace is always nice. Always.
Rashes typically derive from liver. If you are something that your liver couldn't process, it is very likely.
You only paid $4000? I had a quot for $8000 plus.
Are you happy with the results
I'm from van too :)
