Although these implants are slightly bigger (545’s as opposed to the old 485’s), they don’t actually feel it – thanks to the new position.
Having said that, my skin is so stretched it resembles a balloon ready to be popped by a pin! (Mum laughed at the way the flash bounced back at her when taking this shot..)

This was taken a week after the surgery. As for the rest of me, I’m feeling quite nauseated at times, am tired and have already had enough of asking for help with the basics.
I could change the tape here at home before seeing Dr D and Andrea on Monday, but as far as I can see (through the tape) the scars appear to be healing well. Although I’m keen to see them and start getting used to them, I’m also happy to leave the dressing changes to the experts (I’ll be on the betadine and fresh tape routine again soon enough).
