Well I've been taking the meds for a few days now and I could be crazy but I swear that today I feel a big difference in the softness of the boob! Up until yesterday it was really hard and painful. It was especially hard around the outside of it, but today it feels so much softer and appears to be a bit lower than it was yesterday too! I don't want to get ahead of myself but I think these meds may work! I've also been massaging it pretty regularly and attempting to sleep on that side to move it around a bit. I haven't really been wearing bras because I noticed that it feels more stiff when I do. Anyway I'll keep you all updated. Wish me luck!

OMG this is good news! I am happy to hear that there is some improvement, even if it is minimal. Any improvement is good at this point! Thinking of you

Hi! I read your entire review process (I recently got my tuberous breasts fixed in California too) and was curious to see if you were able to lose the capsular contracture, or if you had to go in for a second surgery. I don't have this myself, but I'm interested to see if this is something that can just be handled with medicine if it ever does happen. I'm also curious... did the insurance you bought for your implants help with the cc? All your after pictures looked so beautiful, by the way. I hope you're feeling lots better.

Some not so good news

Well, I'm back almost exactly 11 months after my surgery with the news that I have capsular contracture in my right breast. And not just like the chill grade I or II type. I'm at a III, likely a IV. As far as the appearance of the breast goes it's still passable as normal, it hasn't gotten to the point where it's super distorted, but it's really uncomfortable and hurts sometimes. I'll be posting as regularly as possible to givie you guys an idea what to expect if something similar (god forbid) happens to you. I started today on Singulair as a potential means of treating the CC without having another surgery. I will be on the medicine for up to three months to see if I show any improvement. If not, I will have to go in for another surgery to have the capsule removed and the implant replaced. If it comes down to this, I will likely take advantage of the situation and have them both removed and go bigger, since now that my pockets are stretched I have the ability to. However, I'm definitely hoping that the medicine works and I can avoid another surgery. Unfortunately, the meds seem to help mostly in cases of grades I and II, so the odds aren't exactly in my favor at this point. I'd love to hear from other ladies who have experienced CC!

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that you have capsular contracture. I hope that the treatment of Singulair helps to get rid of it so that you do not have to go in for a revision. At least you can kind of see a silver lining in the fact that you could go a bit bigger next time. I wish you all the best in your battle with CC and hopefully it clears up with the medication

..to say how happy I am with my boobs! Honestly, this has to have been the best decision I've ever made. I am so much more comfortable with myself, and my wardrobe has been revamped thanks to all the new styles that I could never wear before :) I'm 13 weeks out now I believe, I'm attaching a picture from last week to show progress. Hope everyone else is doing well!

Wow they look great! I also have tuberous breasts and have been looking everywhere for results to get an idea of what I'll look like after. I'm so glad for your before and after pictures, they've really helped me. Your breasts look perfect!
