No turning back now!!
$5,800
Ok so I should probably give y'all an update. So I paid in full on Monday so no turning back now. Surgery is in eleven days!! I wish I could say I was excited like I was the first time I did this, but unfortunately I'm not. I'm dreading the pain & even more the fear of the end result. Hopefully I won't end up wishing I would've just stuck to the first set of boobs. The hardes decision for me here has been decided on whether I wanna stick with round moderate profile or high profile anatomical. I Iove the look of the anatomical implants, but I have read that several doctors won't use them due to them turning. Dr. Robey feels in order for me to achieve the look of the pics I've shown her that anatomical is essential. I don't mind the upper pole fullness I guess, I just want them to look more natural. I have so much boob at the top & not much at the bottom. I was torn between Sientra 450cc high profile round base anatomical silicone gummy or going down to Sientra 425cc high profile classic base anatomical silicone gummy. I currently have Sientra 435cc high profile round textured implant gummy. Dr. Robey is going to perform a capsulorrhaphy as well go decrease the pocket size to ensure the implant doesn't turn with me going down 10cc. I was also concerned because my right breast is smaller than my left & it seemed to get worse after my breast aug so I wanted that corrected this time around, but 425 is the biggest size in classic base anatomical so she said she will use the same size, but remove tissue from the left breast to even them out. She said part of the reason it's more noticeable after my first breast aug is because the implant on the right was placed higher than the left so she thinks it will look more proportionate if it's placed lower. Fingers crossed.

Revision six months after breasr augmentation.
So here I am almost six months post op & I made an appointment with my PS to discuss a revision. Not only is my right boob noticeably smaller than the left, but it is still oddly shaped & kind of flat. My goal is to have surgery as soon as they can get me in. My original implants were 435cc high profile silicone Sientra unders. I may go a little bigger, but I doubt it. At this point I am more torn between teardrop shaped silicones or round moderate profile. I love my cleavage with high profile, but I can achieve the same result with a push up bra. At this point I am hoping for a more natural look, however I would take a fake look so long as they are symmetrical. I am constantly finding clothes that hide them at this point or throwing a scarf over my shirts. Anything with a v-neck looks bizarre because I obviously have one implant smaller than the other, but it also appears as though one may be higher as well. I wish I was excited for the next surgery. I'm not, though. I'm scared. I'm frustrated that I'm spending even more money & still may not achieve my ideal result. I am feeling very discouraged, I almost wish I would've left them alone.

I'm sorry to hear this mama2boys. I just had my boobs done too with Dr. Robey last 2/23. So far so good though my right is still not dropping as much as the left. I understand I'm still early po and probably needs time to drop. I'm kind of worried about what if the right doesnt drop and I may need revision. I can see ur concern about your breast but in the picture they don't look really obvious though they still are pretty. Anyways, it's your'e body and having assymetrical breast would probably erk me too... Do you have to pay for the full or partial for the procedure?

Hi there! Thank you! I think I have to pay for all of it. Dr. Robey said it looks like it could possibly be capsular contracture, but she will probably have to see me again to be able to determine that for sure. I have recommended two friends to Dr. Robey & one of them got her breasts done about six weeks after mine & with this being another surgery performed by her they did offer me a discount. I think it's harder to see the flaws in my breast through a picture. It just looks very flat, like it's being forced down by something. I am scared to get them done again, I'm afraid I'm going to spend more money & they aren't going to look right. I had a really difficult recovery for the first couple of days & don't want to go through that again, but if it will help the appearance then I am willing to to through it. As far as having your breasts done last month, don't worry! Mine took around four months to not have that high & tight look. Dr. Robey is wonderful & I am sure they will wonderful once they drop! :)

Hopefully it'll get bet better soon before my vacay this summer.:) . I got the extended warranty for my implants from Mentor memory gel for 10 years for extra 200 bucks. And according to dr. Robey if there is contracture within 10 years then they would pay for implants surgery and including doctor i think. In my opinion it would be really helpful just in case there is any issues soon and within the time period. U may want to consider this type of brand. My first option was sientra though. But choose the other one because they have better coverage or insurance for implants. Hopefully, ur revisiom goes smooth and what u wanted. Will be thinking of u.

Hello, I am scheduled with Dr. Roby very soon. Do you have any advice? How was the financing part. Seems like I am having communication problems with the office and the price keeps changing. Could you private message me somehow?

Hi there Happy25! Can you send me your email address somehow? I didn't finance through care credit or anything through their office. I paid most of it in cash & financed the rest through my bank the first time, this time I'm charging it to my credit card. How you met with Dr. Robey in person? If they email you & give you a price that is generally just a quote, but once you meet with her & get a sheet of paper that shows the surgery fee, anesthesia & operating room fee etc. that is your set price. The only time mine changed was when I decided to change to a different implant. I have had some trouble communicating with them recently as well through phone calls, I seem to call at the wrong times, but I am almost always guaranteed a response through email the same day, sometimes within an hour or even a few minutes. Lisa & Helen are so sweet & Jay is there on occasion & he's a super nice guy! You can email me privately if you'd like! My email is: jenneash@gmail.com.

When is your revision? I'm so sorry you weren't pleased with the first result :( I think it's a pretty common issue, but really wishing this second time for you works out. Keep us updated!

Hi there! I actually had my revision May 18th! I went just slightly smaller the second time around, but with tear drop shaped implants as opposed to round. I will take a few pictures tomorrow & update my profile so everyone can see the difference! :)

FINALLY DID IT!!
So sorry for the delay in posting my update ladies. I have had multiple surgeries (BIG incisions, five to be exact) & the pain from all of those were nothing compared to the pain I experienced from breast augmentation. Also I have never had any complications from anesthesia & I honestly vomited for four days straight. I couldn't even keep my pain meds down. I tried everything in the world to calm my stomach, but nothing worked. I was completely miserable for four days. So anyhow....I checked in at 7:30, waited about fifteen minutes & then went back to my room & had to take EVERYTHING off & put on a gown. I brought my own socks to avoid those uncomfortable & ugly hospital socks & then they added compression socks. Shortly after my IV was started & I was asked to use to the bathroom. The anasthesiologist came in to introduce himself & explained what he would do after asking me several questions regarding medical history. Then my PS came in & drew on me & then about twenty minutes later I was wheeled back to surgery. I scooted over to the surgery table & was given something to make me relax & then told them that I went skydiving Labor Day weekend so I shouldn't be nervous, but I still was & then I was out! Surgery lasted about 3.5 hours since I had my boobs & ears done both. I stayed in recovery for about two hours & then was released. The drive home was nothing short of a nightmare as we live three hours from my plastic surgeon. It is super difficult to get comfortable when you're a tummy sleeper & can't sleep on your belly or even your side & then your ears are throbbing & aching on top of it. It's awful! I have been very tired, but have had a lot of family helping me & feel very blessed & fortunate to have so many people taking such excellent care of me. I am healing very well & I'm off all meds except for ibuprofen I was prescribed almost a year ago for strep throat & I take tramadol at night time (a painkiller/sleep aid) which seems to help slightly, but not a ton. I went 435 round high profile textures Sientra implants & I am head over heels in love with them. They look absolutely amazing! I wanted a full C/small D. I went into Victoria's Secret a few days ago to get measured because I wanted one of their new front zip up sports bras. They measured me at a 34DD, but she said one they drop they may end up being a DDD! I was in complete shock! If I lose weight I will end up being around a 32DD. Either way I am completely satisfied. My ears are healing really well, tender & numb oddly, but they feel & look great! Also forgot to add that I got my one inverted nipple corrected & that looks amazing! Was slightly raw, starting to scab over now, but it's healing very well! Even with all of the pain associated with the first four days I would do it again & again every time. It is worth every bit of pain. My confidence level is through the roof & I feel great!! I will post pics throughout the week as we are headed to Destin, FL as we speak for vacation. Happy healing ladies!!??
