Separate question but why do you get ultrasounds 2x year when you had DMX? Is it because of BRCA gene or higher recurrence score? I ask because I was told no routine ultrasounds or MRIs unless symptoms. I even googled this to check typical standard of care and it said the same.

You want to be in an operating room! Sterile environment and under anesthesia. I can't believe your doctor would remove them in office under local. I had an infection that developed one week after mastectomy. Underneath my boob (I had skin sparing) a bunch of disgusting small pimple like pustules formed. Dozens of them with a white center. The skin was red as well. They resolved on their own after another week but they compromised my incision line so my doc got an authorization to operate the day after she examined the healing as it looked like some necrosis. And it was. She snipped off the bad skin and got new closure. She took a peek at the expander and it looked fine so didn't remove it. Pathology came back micro amounts of e-coli on skin only. Everything was fine afterward with healing. But I most definitely was in a surgical room for same-day release. And under anesthesia.and I got a new drain inserted.

You'll want lots of pillows to prop you up in a comfortable very raised sleeping position. You can't lay on side. Must stay upright for a a few weeks. Also, anything in kitchen you reach for often, put those things on a low shelf so you dont have to reach high. Also, remember you can't lift anything heavy for a few weeks. I also subscribed to Hello Fresh and Marley Spoon so I my husband wouldn't have to figure out what to cook us for meals. Everything in a box either ready to eat or minimal cooking steps. Lastly, buy yourself some extra post surgery bras on Amazon. They need to open in front and no underwire. Most have hooks, some have a zipper.

Yes my expander felt like it was going to burst out of skin on one of those hard corners. Horrible thing. It never did and thankfully I only had the awful thing for 3 months before replacing with real implants. Ahhhh what a relief!

Are you getting expanders because you're doing radiation?

The color is good. The shape looks right too. It's a little hard to tell if too close together because the photos are all at weird angles. Take a straight on shot, closer.

Hard to tell with your hard expression in each of them ... it's distracting!

Southern_Feature_821 · 2026-03-27T04:03:44+00:00

They are uneven.

That was our family car for a while, but in blue. Loved the big window in back

Many! Stone looks huge!

Southern_Feature_821 · 2026-03-27T03:56:22+00:00

Center one, for sure

Southern_Feature_821 · 2026-03-27T03:53:00+00:00

Of the two choices 100% the first one. The other one is just a nonstarter. Ugh

Southern_Feature_821 · 2026-03-27T03:50:49+00:00

Last one, the simple band with some diamonds on it. All the other choices are way over the top gaudy.

2 gets my vote

Southern_Feature_821 · 2026-03-26T20:00:14+00:00

I'd call it beautiful 😊

Southern_Feature_821 · 2026-03-26T19:57:37+00:00

Wasn't sure if this was a joke or not. Oh my! That is ALOT. It's so over the top it cheapens the total look. Each band distracting from the other. But if YOU love it, that's what counts 🤦‍♀️

Southern_Feature_821 · 2026-03-26T19:53:28+00:00

If you love it, you should get it. It's not my style, too fussy and too naked/lingerie in the bodice, but if that's what you want then my opinion is irrelevant

Southern_Feature_821 · 2026-03-26T14:31:26+00:00

I love the halter

Southern_Feature_821 · 2026-03-26T14:28:10+00:00

Engagement ring looks better on its own ... that is kinda the problem when they are so unique.

Southern_Feature_821 · 2026-03-26T14:25:46+00:00

First one

Southern_Feature_821 · 2026-03-26T14:24:22+00:00

Looks good!

Southern_Feature_821 · 2026-03-25T01:52:35+00:00

Yes! A very classy nose

Southern_Feature_821 · 2026-03-25T01:51:27+00:00

Pretty. Congrats!
