Pocket revision?!?!?
Hi
Does anybody know what the recovery for a pocket revision (unders) is like - is it as painful as the first time (i'd hope not) and are the recovery factors like no lifting for 6 wks ect the same?
I have tried searching for this but there doesn't seem to be any info out there.
Hoping I wont need one - but just curious.
Thanks x

Re: Pocket revision?!?!?
I had a capsulectomy which is removal of the entire capsule/pocket, so my breast had to create a new one and that was more painful than before I have to be honest. I also had an uplift with that too so had to wait out the recovery time so can't comment on just pocket revision.
If a pocket just had to be tightened/widened I can't really see that it would be that bad to be honest, nor can I see that the healing would be as long as 6 weeks + but then, if it's needed to be stitched I suppose the possibility of over stretching or lifting could pull the stitches and when I think like that I think it's quite possible the recovery could be as long.
Interesting question though Meemoo, I hope someone who has had pocket revision alone comes and answers it. xx
