    darriea:  The implants I mentioned on Page 361 are all silicone.  You will have to talk with your PS about whether he could use the Allergan Style 20 - because this is a good leap in volume to get to 700 ccs.  Otherwise, the Sientra round I mentioned would be a good option.

    For anyone who has access to the picture forum and cares to see the difference between Natrelle Style 15 and Style 20 silicone round implants I just updated my thread there.  I had a revision in April 2013.

    Best wishes!

    2TA - I must have been with you - I just noticed the header changes yesterday!  Loopy

    AZ85048, I'm hoping we had fun - wherever it is we were!

    2TA - Oh, I'm sure that we did!  (Probably managed to get into a little trouble too!)  Shocked

    Not really "changes"....I just added some information.  So I sort of defeated my purpose of streamlining the header.   Still need to do that soon....

    2nd time & AZ - I must have been with you.  Sure glad we had such a good time.

    Whippetmom - excellent additions.

    Had Allergan 20s, 286 cc put in yesterday. Swap out for 410s. Lipo work, and some left side pocket work. Major bruising and in some pain, but its day 1, so to be expected.

    aviva5675 - Here's hoping that your recovery remains uneventful and that you heal fast and well!  You had your BMX three days after I did, and I'm hoping for revision surgery on 6/23, (so you beat me on that one!)  

    I'll be interested to know how the fat grafting feels / heals as they're recommending quite a bit of that for me.  Take it easy and try not to overdo!

    thanks guys!  I didnt have fat grafting, I guess I had the opposite- lipo to remove it.

  • babs6287

    Fat grafting is lipo and then injections of the fat into other areas-for divits, upper pole fullness etc.

    Aviva, hope you're resting and healing. Take the pain meds for a couple of days, especially on this long weekend.

    Minus Two and AZ85048, glad we had so much fun we can't remember it!

    Whippetmom, where are my manners? (Like you would know?) how are you doing?

    I am recovering but this is a slow and laborious recovery from lung surgery.  This week is better than last week...so I am on the mend!!  ThumbsUp

    that's good to hear! Hoping you're able to get out of bed and walk around a bit.

    I had fat grafting on Friday. He also did some pocket work that I was not expecting. I think the results will be good but still taking Percocet. Hope this is my last surgery. Thoughts and prayers to all!

    hello gals...I took a better look at the implant card from surgery, and he put in Allergan 15s, not 20s as we had discussed. No idea why. Will ask when I see him Tuesday.  Am feeling better this morning, less groggy. Its a beautiful day here. I have on a gauzy kind of velcroed wrap which isnt helping. I think the itchiness of it is hitting in the wrong places, so some of what I feel is itchiness underneath it, and tightness. Will be glad to get it off. I tucked soft paper towels under my arm area and on the bottom of it, to soften the poking in the sore areas.

    '...Lipo work, and some left side pocket work. Major bruising and in some pain, but its day 1, so to be expected.'

    aviva5675 - Sorry about misunderstanding your earlier post. For some reason, I assumed from your lipo work and bruising comments that you'd had some fat grafting done.  Loopy 

    I'm so glad you're feeling better today!  I hope that maybe you can venture outside for just a little while to enjoy the beautiful weather...

    I did! Was going to walk "all the way" around the block, but made it down one end and came back. Then had a nap. Im actually feeling pretty good all in all. Obviously there is pain, but I cant wait to get this dumb wrap off= I think that will make a difference. So sorry for those told to keep wraps on tight bras on for weeks day and night after some of the surgeries.

    oh....I am out of bed!  I don't want anyone to have the impression I am bedridden!  LOL!  I was at South Coast Plaza a few days ago, shopping....and at Nordstroms yesterday, buying cosmetic brushes.  I push through the pain to shop!  Nerdy

    SCP shopping - now that's the way to recover and heal!

    whippetmom - 2TA is right - retail therapy - now that's the ticket!  So glad you're able to get out and about.  ThumbsUp  Now just don't do too much!

    so, onto other important issues, which make-up brushes are good? I am sick of going to work with malted brush bristle stuck to my face!

    So glad you're "pushing" through to shop!  The economy needs more women like you!!!!!!  Seriously, so happy to hear you're doing so well.

    I bought one of the highest rated and most popular foundation brushes - this one by Shiseido....

    Shiseido Foundation Brush

    So far, I really like it and I feel it makes my foundation look a lot smoother and more polished.  But I am on a new foundation search also.  

    I am needing to replace my eyeshadow crease brush...and so I am researching this now....

    I get into a lot of trouble with cosmetics and dog products, which do not necessarily go together.

    One nice thing about getting older is that one day you realize make up is doing nothing to improve your look. Everything falls into the lines and wrinkles or is covered up by drooping upper lids. It's not worth the effort - except for eyebrows...gotta have eyebrows. Winking
