I'm 7 weeks away from getting a breast revision,...
I'm 7 weeks away from getting a breast revision, which puts me at just over a year from my initial breast augmentation. I knew fairly early on ( about 4 months) that I was experiencing a complication, however I thought the issue was with my right breast. Prior to my augmentation I had slight asymmetry, and everything seemed to be settling great at 6 weeks, but as time passed my results worsened. At my 6 month checkup my PS wanted to give things a bit more time, as I was under the impression my right implant was not dropping. It turned out, the right settled just fine, and the left had actually migrated downwards past the inframammary fold. Now I'm at approximately 11 months and am scheduled to be getting a revision. The procedure is classified as an implant exchange, because I currently have textured implants, and part of the complication occurred as the left did not adhere as expected. Unlike my initial BA, which I was actually very excited for, I'm quite nervous going into the revision. I'm very anxious to see what the results will look like, and I'm really really hoping I don't have another complication.
I've included some photos starting at 5 months, when I started expressing concern to my PS. You can notice a slight crease in the left due to the implant dropping...
As you can see... there has really been no progress up to 9 months, which is what assured me a revision is necessary.
For those interested. My initial BA cost me $10,000.

Just thought I would add some additional info I forgot yesterday. My original implants were full height, moderate projection. My new implants will be full projection, with "responsive gel" (silicone). Apparently this is a softer cohesive gel, that will form a tear drop shape when upright. My PS may also be lowering my right fold... which I'm not sure how I feel about anymore. I'll speak with my PS prior to going into surgery, and plan on expressing my concerns.... then let him proceed with what he feels best. There's very conflicting opinions about lowering the fold I find, and the last thing I want is more complications. Surgery date November 21st, 2013! Let the countdown begin...
Less Than 6 Weeks Away...
Since I've been doing more and more research about lowering the fold, I'm getting increasingly nervous going into my revision. I really want to minimize any risk of further complication. I think I'm going to ask my surgeon to repair my left side instead. I'm really worried about getting a double bubble. I wish i had the excitement from my initial BA, going into this revision.... Funny how a complication changes things...
