And speaking of implants I wonder if an accident could cause one to burst? God that would be a horror story.
It's not likely for an implant to rupture but it would be a pain to have to get a broken implant fixed, if it was a saline implant, no harm done.
As for my boobs...it's been a long drawn out battle. I don't know if you remember me complaining about infection a few weeks after they were done, but I had developed an infection from the stitches used in the lift procedure plus a staph infection in the left breast. So, since April I've been on multiple courses of antibiotics, had to deel with draining from the infected areas, and pain in my left breast presumably from scar tissue that developed with the staph infection as it was very deep into the breast tissue and muscle. To top things off, the lift wasn't done high enough...apparently when he put the implants in, I started swelling up rather quickly, so although the lift appeared good, once the swelling went down it was obvious that he'd have to go back and do it over.
We had been waiting for the infection to clear up, but after each course of antibiotics it just comes back. The doctor used some disolvable stitches which should have disolved within 3 weeks, however it was 8 weeks post-op and pieces of stitches were coming out of infected areas. The doctor said he'd never seen this happen before. While we were waiting for the infection to go away, he removed a cyst for me using another kind of suture (it's not disolvable and it is made with some kind of antibiotic) and I had no problems and healed nicely, so this is what he wants to use for my re-do. I did have surgery scheduled for last week, but these sutures are on backorder across the whole country, so surgery is now scheduled for the day before Thanksgiving.
My left breast didn't drop down all the way, presumably from the scar tissue, so he'll have to cut into the muscle again and do some work to make the pocket bigger. My lower pec is insanely tender, so much so that if I'm laying on my back and just want to stretch my arms over my head it hurts pretty bad. Skull crushers absolutely KILL and I've got to do a lot of stretching before training. I had started training chest for a while, but with the infection and pain I stopped. Hope to be able to resume after this surgery.
The scaring where I didn't develop infection is not noticible, so I'm really looking forward to getting this all done over, because where I did have infection, I've got scar holes and I feel a bit Frankensteinish.
On a good note, when I'm dressed, they look damn good!
I'm very happy with the size and shape of the implants.
Hmmm...what else? My nipples are actually much more sensitive now than before. For a while after surgery my right one was numb and the left one over-sensitive...they've pretty much evened out, but they're definitely a lot more sensitive than they were before surgery. Oh...and this is weird, but the left one always gets hard before the right one. LOL
Nonerz...do you know if you're going with overs or unders yet?
