Breast Implant Revision: Stories

Thanks!  Sorry you have had so many issues with your revisions, I took a quick look at your revision review.  I didn't see how many you have had but sounds like you have had all negative experiences-what does your dr say when you bring up your concerns?  btw, That 1st sample pic you have from dr. P is one that was one of my fave examples for my dr to see too!  I hope he is not retired by the time I am ready for another revision.  I can understand how emotionally frustrated you feel, its hard but it IS possible to be happy with your results-have you consulted w any other drs?

Thanks!  I know, if you are doing research you will find that one size implant can look totally different on a bunch of people so it's nice to see different frames for different cc's.  It can be excruciating if you are in the process of trying to decide what size to choose from!  I'm sure I literally looked at hundreds of breast aug pics when I was trying to make sure I was making the right size decision lol. 

Thanks!  Yours too!  

Thanks, I needed to be able to overfill the implants to minimize the rippling because I am still over the muscle so I don't have much tissue to cover the bag, With silicone that isn't possible. I like them, my first aug was with saline so I knew what to expect. With siicones, I heard that annual MRI's are recommended to make sure they arent leaking since you can't tell unlike with saline.

Hey allycat, sorry I have been away for a few months and am going to try to update my reviews this week:)

Hey Scottdale, Wow i think you just said the words i needed to hear, about forgetting about people critics. thank you I’m gonna do it lol #gobigorgohome

I have not heard of Dr. Spies but from a quick glance it looks like he has pretty good patient reviews.  Why was your first aug botched? If you are a small d at that amount of cc's, doubling it may be much bigger than you may want to go.  Depends on your weight, height and build too.  I was barely a C with 450's and I almost (but not quite)doubled the volume and I am a 30 ddd - ish.  If you go that big under the muscle, you do have the risk of bottoming out which happens when its too big (and I often read about happening) so I would see what your dr says and take his advice for the best looking and safest result.  Going to silicone for your revision I assume? They do recommend annual MRI's to check for leaking silicone. 

Also, although I am sure Dr. Spies will be great, I find it helpful to get more than one opinion from multiple consults from different drs, to compare notes, most should say the same general things as far recommendations for optimal outcome.  If one says something totally different way out in left field, it's a good reason to carefully evaluate why if you decide to consider that dr.  If you have a little nagging voice that tells you not to go to someone, trust it.  You need to completely feel you can trust your dr and have confidence in their choices they make on that operating table.  There are a lot of doctors to choose from, take your time finding the right one for you!  Good luck, keep us posted!

Thank you for the great advice! I'm actually sticking with saline just for peace of mind. As for the botched job, I used these surgeons on another cosmetic procedure that turned out to be amazing. I assumed they would be able to do an amazing job with the breast augmentation.
I will keep you posted as to Dr.Spies recommendations :)

Cool, glad to hear you were able to make a decision you are comfortable with.  That's what it comes down to since there are drawbacks to both.  That's too bad you didn't have consistent results with the same drs.  Seems like an unusual experience.  Well, at least you found someone you are confident in now that seems to have good results (based on the positive reviews).  Were you able to decide on cc's yet?
