Uplift with implants – swelling and weird feeling Started by: H

So I’m 18 DPO. I had 300 cc mentor moderate + textured over the muscle implants with an uplift with Mr Giannis in London.

I had been very unhappy with my boobs for a long time, and after I lost a load of weight they looked awful. Would say ended up an empty C cup with damaged stretched skin, hence the uplift was wanted and needed

So had the operation, all good, very pleased with ‘my girls’ . Mr Giannis was brilliant, such a lovely man

But I have questions. I have spoken to the nurse about my concerns when having the dressings changed, but seeing if I can get reassurance from you lovely lot.

I had my dressings changed 9 days post op. Didn’t notice until the main dressings came off that had a small amount of swelling in between my boobs, the nurse felt it and said it wasn’t a seroma, and she wasn’t worried about it, but I just hope it goes down. Anyone else have similar to what I have? (Can see better on 16 DPO pic)

On day 13 PO I started to feel a weird sensation inside my left boob (which I might add I can’t feel the nipple in this one and my boob is generally a little more sore and tender than the right one on the outer side) which I can only describe as it feels like movement or fluttering. First of all I was convinced that when I stood up and felt it, that the implant was flipping around. It’s not as there is no change in the shape, nothing visible to see when it happens, but yet it’s the feeling from the inside out. Again spoke to the nurse about it and she examined them, said they were fine and what I am feeling is normal. This is only happening in one side.

I was hoping to have my dressings off when I went 15 DPO, and although I’m healing really well, I still have a small wet wound underneath, so they have redressed them and I’m due to go back in 4 days for another check up.

Now I’m looking at my boobs and thinking one is looking bigger than the other. I know I’m really early stages of my recovery, and have to be patient for them to drop and fluff, and I know nobody is guaranteed perfect symmetry or size, as that’s just the human body. The nurse again reassured me not to worry as it’s all part of the healing process and my body is adjusting to the implants . May possibly be one side is fluffing quicker than the other, which again I hear is normal
