Ask a Question
The Past 10 Months, Following my BA, Have Physically and Emotionally Drained Me!
BA resulted in redo in left breast(w/armpit drain)3 weeks later.Dr says pocket revision b/c to excess scar tissue, implant wasnt massaging like the other.Implant moves better but is now smaller, high, tight, crease scar is visible in standing position & entire breast aches and goes thru my armpit down my arm. Nerve damage?) With my f/u visits Dr told me we could do a redo in 1year or when scars healed. Yesterday that changed and he told me he had no solution & felt redo'd be worse.Yay 4 padding!

Changing opinion after breast augmentations
It's hard to tell exactly what has happened with your breasts, but I would not accept just one "hopeless" opnion.

Breast augmentation nightmare can be improved!
I am so sorry your surgical experience has turned out to be such an ordeal. Cases such as yours make candidates for this surgery question whether it is worth the risk, fearing this could happen to them as well.
