with everyday clothes on
$13,000
I got a question from someone about all the attention I may have gotten some my new girls because their larger. And if my hubby was jealous or it made me love him less. If anything I love him more because he would spend all that $ to make me happy. And he's not a jealous guy so there's that. But, most of the new attention I get is from my girlfriends. And in every day clothes I still look small on top, they hide very well! I wanted to post a pic so those of you contemplating an augmentation can see. Any ladies that have already had their BA want to comment on their experience with the attention afterwards or how it's affected your marriage?

Getting excited once again!
I've been emailing back and forth with the 3 PS' with all my questions. I've received quotes as well. Dr.Revis answers at lightening speed and personally. With Dr.Pousti, I've been mainly in contact with his assistant. And with Dr.Cohen, it's his assistant as well. All have been very helpful and great about answering my questions. I'm mainly paranoid about re occurrence of CC and trying to do everything to prevent it. It feels like I'm starting all over again, looking at wish pics, researching, getting excited for new boobs! Lol

Glad you're getting excited again. It sounds like you're doing some great doctor research too. I know another member ShellySmall is hoping to get a revision someday. Her issues are different but I believe she has researched some of the same doctors.
If you'd like, you can start a new review in the breast implant revision community. You can just tell everyone your story is continued in a new review in that community. This will allow you to eventually rate your new doctor and be in a community with others like yourself. Feel free to PM with any questions about this. Hang in there and keep us posted!

Researching PS for revision
I've decided to do more research on surgeons, implants, techniques, etc. this time around. My top choices at the moment are Revis in FL, Pousti in CA or Cohen in AZ. I'm looking into staying about the same size, possibly a tad larger and switching to high profile with internal sutures and mesh for added support and to help with capsular contracture non reoccurance. Knowing spring time is the peak season for breast augmentation I think I'm going to wait till after summer to have them redone. Also I won't be so eager to show them off in a swim suit. Take more time doing what I need to do to help in my healing process. I'm looking forward to feedback from some of these doctors to see what their thoughts are for me. :)

What a long, crazy journey! I hope you're feeling better and getting some direction at this point! Do they know if there was anything that could have contributed to CC? Or anything That can be done to prevent it from happening again?
I wish you best of luck! I'm so sorry you've had to go through this. We gear up and so look forward to our new boobs, and then to have this set back is devastating!

I'm in the process of doing consults with the 3 mentioned above surgeons. :) It's been one emotional roller coaster that's for sure and devistating! Looking back I wish my PS would've tried some non surgical ways to try and fix the CC when it was in the very beginning stages. Another reason why I'm not going back to him. I've read and been told that putting internal mesh in with the implants helps greatly reduce chances of CC. An infection and too thin of skin tissue are just a couple reasons it can happen. It's the bodies way of protecting itself. I'll keep updating as my consults progress. :) Thank you for the support!

racerwife, I just read your journey. So sorry to hear about the complications you developed. I'm scheduled to have BL, BA and TT with Dr. Salemy on March 30 and now am a bit nervous after hearing what you're going through. I consulted with two other PS and felt the best about going with Dr. Salemy, but I'm having second thoughts about him now. Not sure what I should do . . .

Maybe see if there are other reviews on here of him that are detailed like mine. It seems to me that a lot of reviews are done by either him or his office staff. So try and find some real ones. I wish I would've looked harder at them in the beginning. He is very nice but not very informative. They really push you that first day to book your appt. But, I did notice that he adds insurance onto the fees now. I wish I would've had that. Might have made my revision less? Either way, I'm also disappointed that he didn't try to reverse the capsular contracture in the early stages. And doesn't think I have bottoming out in the other side. When it's clearly visible in person. :/ but, I'm just one case. I encourage you to do more in depth research on him.

Thank you for your response. I'm so sorry that you developed capsular contracture, a friend of mine who had implants about 30 years ago got CC and ended up having her implants removed, she got hers right before they recalled the old silicone implants because they were leaking. What can be done at the early stages if you think you're getting CC? About the bottoming out, although the term is pretty self explanatory, how do you know if you're bottoming out?
I'm frantically trying to do more research on PS, but it's so hard to know what other PS to consider in the area. My main problem is the time frame I have available to have the surgery, my work schedule is not flexible and I only have a short window of time to work with, unless I want to wait another year, and since I'm 55 right now, will be 56 in June, I feel going through major surgery like this needs to happen for me sooner, rather than later. I'm so confused right now . . .

From what I've read there are many things you can try to stop CC. Medications, vitamin E, massaging, etc. I can tell I'm bottoming out because I can feel it. My implant sits low on my chest, is very uncomfortable and at times causes my ribs to ache. I can't walk around the house without a bra on due to the feeling. My suggestion to you is to keep your surgery date and PS. Do a lot of research on here, asks lots of questions in the meantime. I rushed into my sugery just because I wanted it done before vacation, my biggest mistake. And ask Dr.Salemy lots of questions. He was not very informative with me and I didn't know what to ask him at the time. So inform yourself. And don't over do it after sugery! Rest as much as you can. I think if I would've been informed better beforehand my outcome might have been different. Good luck! :)

I'm going to try and schedule a consultation with Dr. Mary Peters. I checked out her photos and I think it would be a good idea to see what she has to say. I'm starting to run out of time to make my decision, my pre op is scheduled for March 6 and my surgery is scheduled for March 31, I have two weeks off for vacation and have arranged for coverage for a third week, I don't think I'm going to be ready to return to work full time in two weeks. Hopefully, I can get scheduled with her before time runs out. I'm gone for 10 days at the end of this week and until then, work is crazy and I can't take any time off. I just hope I can make it all work out. Thanks for your input. I hope everything works out for you and you're able to have your revision surgery soon. Good luck to you too :-)

Hi. I have been searching for other reviews from women who, like me, have had a lift with implants and ended up with CC. I am having my surgery to fix the CC in the beginning of March. Feel free to check out my journey. I will be following yours as well.
