I am going to go ahead with rebalancing on the recon breast which is 8 yrs old. Con says he can replace implant with slightly larger heavier bottomed one which will even up with nature breast. No need to operate on the nature breast, Says one and half hour op and day surgery.
Has anyone had this surgery?
Wondered what recovery period is and what is your opinion of this? I feel I want it as have it as two cup sizes different now and bras as so uncomfortable and do not sit straight at all and move when I wear one,
Hi Vezza - I had an implant exchange earlier this year, and it was a breeze. I stayed one night in hospital, but would have been fine going home the same day as the op. Was a bit tired and sore for a day or two afterwards, but striding about Hampstead Heath with my drain still in place on day 4 :smileyhappy:
No surgery is fun - but if I were you, I’d go for it. My new implant made a big difference to how I felt about myself when I looked in the mirror. Some plastic surgeons can get lovely results.
You’re talking about having you’re current existing implant REPLACED with what’s called an “Anatomical” shaped one, i.e.drop shaped in profile??
Firstly, I’m awaiting expander replacement with such shaped implants, which will be a “Day op” - no drains required !! So, I’m not understanding why you expect such with an existing implant replacement ??
Secondly - haven’t you been told what to expect ?? If not - WHY NOT ?? 'cos you should have been!!
When is it due to take place Vez ?, Get on to your surgeon or secretary and ask them to tell you.
Vezza - No One has mentioned anything about FAULT. I am merely asking/ suggesting helpful questions that YOU need to ask and get some specifics about, just so that you are more informed and therefore know what to expect.
Just wanting to be helpful and looking out for you darlin. Not here to blame, but that you need to ask the questions of your boob team so that you know whats what and are then properly prepared. Whole lot easier that way, don’t you think - knowing what to expect?
