I had my redo today

I finally had my redo today at 8am, due to one of my saline implants leaking. Had both my implants replaced to new saline implants. After my first surgery I was in a lot of pain and sick to my stomach, I even threw up. This time have been a whole difference and my recovery are going smooth so far. I am feeling tightness and soreness, but not near as bad as the first time, it feels kind of like when I have worked out. If I rank the pain level between my first surgery and this I rank my first surgery 10/10 and this time 2/10.
It was a small hole on the side, within the edge, of the leaking implant.

Sorry about the leak, but glad you got them replace. Did the implant company provide the implants and/or help you with the cost of the redo? I hope so.

I'm SO glad to hear that the replacement is easier. My first time was AWFUL, too. I've always heard it was easier to get them replaced because the pocket is already there.

Weird that there was a hole. I guess they just break down after a while. MIne only lasted eight years, and deflated within three months of each other.
