Burples in my foobs?

Namaste!

Thanks ladies.  I did get to ask the PS on Wed on my first post op appointment.  He said the gurgles are there because he puts extra local anesthetic ? between the capsul and the implant or maybe he said between the skin and the capsule but where ever he put it he said the local would gradually absorb and the gurgles would then go away.

Namaste!

naturemom and geewhiz:  The reason for my revision was multifold.  When I had TEs my left TE migrated down and lateral.  At the time of exchange the PS did a capsulorraphy to correct that and to place the implant up where it belonged.  Unfortunately my tissue failed to hold the permanent sutures used during the capsulorraphy and the left gummie dropped again, both down and lateral.  In addition, that gummie rotated 90 degrees so that the point of greatest projection was lined up vertically with my sternum instead of in the lower pole where it belonged and the slope that should have been the upper pole was actually aimed towards the area under my armpit.  In additon to that problem I ended up with no inferior mammary fold (IMF) on either side but worse on the right.  The look with and without clothes was rather bizarre.  In order for a bra to help a  bit I had to glue the bra to my abdominal skin (where the bottom of the left gummie was) and then tighten the strap to pull the implant with the skin up to the level of the right one.  I also had to glue the skin under the right implant to the bra otherwise the bra slid up over the mound because there was no IMF to "hold" the bra in place.  I changed PSs for the revision so that the work would be done using alloderm.  Things look very good right now, but I have no guarantees that the good results will be permanent, but with alloderm I feel I have a decent chance.  The PS did try to put the gummie bears back in, but said they just did not look right on me so he went with the silicone smooth rounds instead.  Before the revision I knew he was going to make the final decision while I was under and I was OK with that.  Some people have felt that the gummies were firmer than they expected.  For me, who had very dense breasts before cancer, I felt they were very similar to my naturals, if not even a bit softer.  So far, I am still pretty swollen, bruised and tender so can't really judge the difference in feel.  I would have liked to have gone bigger and I think the 800s would have been fine on me, but the PS did not want to risk the extra weight on my tissues which had already failed twice before.  I am OK with being smaller since it gives me a better chance at this revision being successful.  Just a note to add.  I am to be in a wired bra 24/7 for 3 months.  One week down, 11 to go.
