I'm feeling really good at this point and so glad I went ahead with the surgery to fix the CC. My left breast is nice and soft, and I'm not in any pain. I just hope that as the capsule forms the size will even out a bit. It's not noticeable in clothing, but the left is now smaller than the right. I took some pictures in a bikini for fun this morning to see how it looks without the CC.

I decided to update my review on Dr. Hu since I've had my surgery and one follow up appointment now. I am so, so happy with my results and I would definitely recommend him and his entire staff. He is a gifted surgeon and he is a caring person too. He took the time to know exactly what I wanted and delivered fantastic results. I still have a long way to go on my healing journey, but I have complete faith that I will continue to be happy with my results. When he saw me for my first post op appointment, he had gotten stuck in terrible traffic and was late. He apologized and was so caring and concerned when I told him how much I had vomited the night before. He took his time and made sure I was okay before giving me the okay to head home. His office is an hour and a half away from where I live, and it is well worth the drive. If I had anything else I wanted to get done, I would definitely go with him. I know this is a review for him, but I wanted to add that his surgery coordinator Amanda, have me her cell phone number and told me to call or text any time. She was quick to reply even when I was about 3 months pre-surgery and had random questions for her. She really helped me feel at ease and even cleared her schedule to be there in surgery with me to help Dr. Hu choose my size and profile.

Thanks for sharing these photos and your story about the CC. It's a pain that you had to go through that, but I'm happy to hear that you're healing well. Would you still say that it was worth it?

I haven't seen very many reviews on capsulectomies, so I'm happy to share my story. I hope I'm able to help other ladies in my situation. I'd say that it has still been worth it. My results even now are so much better than my starting point.

You're looking really good even now. I hope they even out for you soon. I'm nervous about having a lift, but seeing yours look so good gives me more peace. I look forward to following the rest of your journey.

Not feeling great

I haven't been in much pain at all, but I have had a general feeling of being "under the weather". I know my body is recovering, so I need to remind myself to take it easy and not push myself. I went to a friend's baby shower today and it was hard to have fun when I was just feeling icky. I'm forcing myself to spend some time alone in my recliner for a bit. I did take a few new pictures this morning.

I slept okay last night other than dealing with lots of itching from the Percocet. I take a Benadryl every 4-6 hours, but the itching is still there. I have been camped out on my recliner in my bedroom and I'm enjoying my rest. I was able to give myself a little sponge bath this morning and I'm feeling good. I have my follow up appointment with Dr. Hu this afternoon. I got curious about what was going on under the bra, so I snuck a few pictures. The shape is a little odd, but I'm sure it will round out in time.

Thanks for sharing your experience, it's great being able to see other people's progress so I know I am not alone in some things. Your shower tips are great! I am really impressed with your final result, it shows just how long they take to fully heal and take their final form.

Thanks for sharing your photos. You look great, I can't believe it's only one day post-op. Please keep us posted on your progress and let us know if you have any questions about recovery? I'm adding this Q&A from others who are one week post-op, if that's helpful.

Thank you! The surgery to correct CC is way easier than the original BA/BL.
