I should have given more info in my first review. Immediately after my first BA, I developed a terrible doulble bubble and capsular contracture on both sides. I waited 6 mos for them to "drop and soften", which they did not, they were hard as rocks and looked terrible. So in his office, for 3 hours under local, he loosened the capsule surrounding the implants and gave me a Benneli lift. The double bubble looked better but they were still very hard. A week later my left breast bottomed out and the implant came out from under my muscle The original doctor tried twice to repair this and failed both times. It never held for more than a week. The right breast had capsular contrature which was visible to the eye and felt terrible because it was so hard. Again the original doctor tired to "loosen" the capsule, it did not work both times he tried.
Dr Christine Petti removed my 325cc silicone implants (unders) and replaced them with 400cc silicones unders. She removed the CC scar tissue and placed internal sutures to raise my inframmary fold and to secure the implants. They look beautiful. The shape is great and I have a natural look with upperpole fullness as well. I'm so excited to finally have the outcome I have been waiting for for over a year now!!! I will post some pics ASAP

Thank u! So happy finally! Well, first of all the new doctor put in and "internal bra" which is sutures in the tissue to hold the implant in place from underneath. The prior doctor didn't do that and the implant just kept falling. Secondly I was given an excellent post surgical support bra made by Marena and it is wonderful. Really comfortable and supportive. I'm still wearing it! The proir doctor had me in a band which was so olds school and lame. I also think it cause a lot of the scarring i got in my lower breast tissue. I also got CC in my breast, the new doc removed it and I am praying it will not come back. Not much we can do about that I think. So far so good, I'm weeks post op!!! It looks like yours will be perfect when the implants drop just a tad. I have my post op pics next week! Can't wait to see the difference! Have fun tomorrow.

I had my first BA in Jan 2011 andf they had severe double bubble and capsular contracture from day 1. The first Dr tried to loosen the scar tissue and double bubble 6 mos later. The double bubble looked better but they were still hard and somewhat distorted. I now know I had grade 3 CC. I wish i would have seen another surgeon but I still trusted him and I didnt want to even think of having to pay for another surgery. Buththat is what it took. I wish i would have seen another doctor sooner I wasted 6 mos and 1000.00 in hospital fees for him to work on me. So after 1 year and three surgeries with the original surgeon I decided I would have to part with the money and see antoher Doctor. She fixed me right up
