Well, I went in for my post op appointment on Friday and I was a little tender - when the surgeon said "lay down on the exam table" I knew what was coming... surely he's not going to give me a fill???!!!!
He peeled the surgitape off and as he put the needle in - he said "there, drink this and tell me if that feels ok" what?? it's done? wow!! I didn't even feel it - I was so happy that the fill went without drama you could not stop me from smiling! :) The fill was a little too much so he had to take some out and my biggest fear was that it was going to be difficult *this time* - nope ..easy peasy! He said that this is supposed to be what it's like and that we did the right thing by revising the port (which was not attached at all appearently - it was flopping around).
So this time he used braided sutures and there are 30 stitches holding it in place - it also feels like its closer to the surface which I worry about when weight comes off that it will show :/ but really - I can get that fixed much later (not ideal but would rather easy fills for now!)
My scar beld a little and the Dr said not to worry as its superficial but I healed much faster last time - I guess thats what happens when you ask existing scar tissue on a wound to heal. He asked if I wanted some steristrips on it and I said definitely which I am proud of becuase normally I would just take a Dr's lead and let it go - want to ensure I minimise scars as much as possible so I am glad & proud I got the strips on :)
My bruises are looking pretty dark - I bruise so easily... will post piccies of my boo boos.... mainly because A) they are fascinating (its an art thing) and B) anyone who reads this who is going to go through a revision can see what it looks like 1 week post op.
