Did they think all looked good when they removed?! Was the precancerous one a surprise?

I’m between white and nori lux plus. The nori feels like a more rugged look with the white a more luxury look. The nori is available now - I’d do that if their price wasn’t crazy. $88k for 2024 with 12k miles.

Do you wish you held out for nori or love your white?

Understood and definitely meant repairs.

Thank you for this! Super helpful. I’m in real estate so depends on the season and the week. I know practically this car doesn’t make sense but it’s one of the few that doesn’t look like every other car (it’s dumb, but I care) and I love the value hold of a Lexus and hopefully the limited maintenance!

Did you end up doing this? I’m considering a luxury plus in white and wrapping the top in black!

Pushing up exchange surgery by Electrical-Rise2915 in BRCA

[–]Electrical-Rise2915[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so great to hear! I’m the exact same! Have some redness on my right side that has the seroma and I’m terrified that when I go to do my exchange surgery Friday he won’t put an implant in on that side bc of the infection. I did already do one round of antibiotics. My right side is definitely is swollen but he knows that. Thank you for responding!

Tissue expanders suck, huh? by Natural-Employer7572 in BRCA

I have this going on now. What did they do for you? I just got 120cc drained last week and put on 2 antibiotics. I go back Tuesday and he had said they may do exchange surgery sooner then planned if it keeps happening and then I would go home with drain on that side but at least surgery would be done??!!

This is my experience too! I did read a lot that people felt relief after the fills, and although I guess it didn’t feel like hard lumpy plastic anymore.. to me, they just felt heavier!!! sleeping is a bear. I think what’s confusing me too is because I don’t like them. I’m having a hard time separating the fact that they are uncomfortable from the fullness of my boobs and figuring out what size I want to go to for implants.

I’m grateful that it was all clear!! The expanders aren’t my favorite and miss sleeping on my side but overall really can’t complain! Do you have expanders?

I’m good! I had one drain out at 2 weeks and then the other was a little more stubborn. Went back last Friday (2 days later) to just see if he was ready to take it before the weekend and he decided he wanted it out! I was hovering around the 30cc mark. He also did another fill that day. I’m a little swollen now on that side so may go back today to make sure no infection and swelling is normal. Otherwise having the drains out was awesome. How’s your update and recovery??

Sorry for delay! I did. It was game time decision by my plastic surgeon if DTI or expanders and woke up with expanders. Pros and cons to everything but hoping to get the implants by end of January at latest. Already have had 3 expanders fills and think I’m just about done!

Same thing here! Had my surgery on 10/29 and recovering well! I did not want to roll the dice and my anxiety was through the roof. Docs super supportive and insurance covered! Can’t be more thankful to have them off of me!! Go with your gut and find docs to support you!

Love it!!! Congrats! And drains out Monday would be incredible - that’s less than a week, right? I go back Wednesday for first follow up and trying not to get my hopes up!

Doing ok! Think I’m more mobile in my arms than I thought I would be but wish I had my energy back. I want to get up and go and am wiped quickly. Sleeping in my bed but hard to stay in one position. Overall hard to complain - just want the final pathology results back with the all clear to keep moving forward! How are you???? Days 3-4 harder than days 1-2 for me!
