miyalove is on a distinguished road
is it possible to have a painless redo surgery??

i had my 350hp implants removed and replaced with 600hp implants 2 days ago, so far i have no pain,no brusing, no swelling and my breast are not riding up high on my chest. the only discomfort is at the incision site at the crease.(he used the same site/same pocket). im not even bandaged like the first time. just a elastic bra and some gauze at the incision. my question is, is this normal?? i had the redo due to lose of volume and upper fullness after having a baby with the 350's as of right now my breast look pretty much perfect as far as fullness upper and lower, the skin is tight as i wanted and nipple placement is good, in spite of not having a lift. i know it sounds weird that i would be concerned if everything is going good, but my concern is what happens to the settling process if they seem to be already settled?? are they going to change shape and size for the worse?? should i be concerned??? how can you achieve upper fullness if the implants are not placed high up at first?? if they stay like this i would be totally and 150% thrilled, im just worried that they wont due to natural progression of a breast augmentation. help please. thanx

Dr. Pelletiere will become famous soon enough
For what you went through, it is completely normal to have very little pain. The hard part is always the initial surgery. After that, a size change is usually very easy and the recovery is quick. You should not really have much settling to do. They will a little, but the pocket is there already and should be firm at the inframammary fold. After a simple size change, I usually tell patients that at 1 week, the breasts should really not change that much afterwards. They will soften a little, but the breast tissue does not have to go through all that initial stretching like the first time. Sounds like you are doing exactly as your surgeon would hope.
