kellyz Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Congrats on your surgery! A few questions if you don't mind. What's the pain level? Was the BA under the muscle? Are there any drainage tubes? How long do you need to stay for recovery in SK? Can you breast feed in the future after this type of BA? Will it need to be removed and replaced in the future? Good luck with recovery!

shellyyyyy Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Hello Kellyyyyy I would love to share my experience. hahaha To be honest, I would say it is 5 out of 10!!!!! I might be good at tolerating pain though. It is more painful than discomfort first few days before I got free from compression, I kinda felt it is stuffy due to the tightness... but since now I just need to wear medical bra, I feel much less discomfort. My incision was underneath my boobs and implant is placed under the muscle! no drainage tubes needed! The doctor said it is possible to breastfeed though but I will find out whether it is really possible if I ever get baby lol I am staying here for 2 weeks! before I actually book a flight I asked tlps how long does patient normally stay for BA and they told me that normally a week to 2 weeks. But there are some patients who stays only 3-4 days as well Furthermore, when I asked about do I have to replace every 10 years, he told me that as my body get aged and changed, it is safe to consider of replacement every 10 years but also it is varies on individuals as well. I have seen one person who kept the same implant for 16 years and still fine hahahahaha I hope my answers are helpful to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
