- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

29 Jun 16 Capsulectomy on RB and bilateral mastopexy
Initial implants October 2012. Submuscular 450cc LB, 500cc RB with perialor lift. RB gave issues from beginning and never dropped into place. PS x3 assumed cc. Capsular contraction repair on Right side left never had an issue. The LB had some tissue hanging off the implant hence the bilateral mastopexy. The new ps told me the right side would be challenging due to the amount of work needed to the pocket itself and recommended reduction of the 500cc to 450cc (allergen style 20 silicon). After surgery he said it went really good and the right did have all the issues he thought, though the contraction was very minimal. He told me my rb looks weird now but that it will loosen as the implant drops. That are was tight due to never stretching from the first implant. He has me in a bando for a few weeks to keep it down. I'm more worried about the Puckering underneath the nipple and cone shape. Will those go away?!?

Well...four weeks post op and things are slowly easing up. Of course, I would end up with an uncommon side effect, mondor's disease. I am very relieved that is what it is though because I was very concerned that the area was potentially the beginning of capsular contracture. So while it is annoying and painful, it will most likely resolve itself with no issues. So for now, I'm not wearing a bra because any type sits right on the area and is painful, and taking motrin w/ heat compress. We will see how it all works out :) Still very happy though!!!

Well, I am three and a half weeks post op and feeling pretty good. I do have a question though, it seems like there is so much implant above my nipple and very little below my nipple. I know things settle down, but would like to know how much it typical to settle down and about how long it takes to have a good idea of what things will look like finished?
Also, there is one spot on each breast on the underside that feels firmer and sore. I have an appointment later this week and am going to ask about capsular contracture, but I just would like to know if anyone that has experienced it can provide the signs. I have read online, but it is hard to tell, and it may be where my muscles are healing? I dont know.
Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Provider Review
I met with two providers. The first spent a lot of time with me and was very good, but I felt he was trying to upsell me, even though he is less expensive than the doctor I chose. Dr. Goldberg immediately understood my perfectionist personality and was open and realistic with me. My only concern now is that the crescent lift that he is sure about seems to have bad reviews. With the surgery close I am very nervous.
