I had a revision for my first breast augmentation done about 10 months ago. It was to correct my implants that were too low and too close together. I started with nothing (couldn't even fill an AA cup). Then I had 425cc mod plus put in the first surgery, and 375cc high profile for the revision. I feel that my implants are still slightly low, but my big concern is the permanent tenting or symmastia. I do not want another revision. What would happen if I had to explant?
I would like to have my saline implant removed by going through under the breasts not vertically or/and through the nipple. Also my right size has a minor ripple on the side (no hardening), but it was already like that after they first placed them at the beginning. Implants are 18 years old and are under the muscle. Are small incisions underneath the breasts possible vs. the vertical or through the nipple?
Hi: I'm going to be having implant removal with capsulectomy Soon and I'm wondering for the docs who take photos of the capsule removed, how can I be sure that the photo that is being taken is actually of mine and not someone else's? I want to ask my doctor myself, however, I don't want to offend anyone. If someone were asking you this, how would you prefer that they ask it so that it doesn't come off as you're questioning their ethics? I need full closure after my procedure. Thanks!!
I went for a pre op appt today with the surgeon I had chosen for explant silicone unders that are 29 yrs old. At consultation I was told I did not need a lift and would have nice results. However, today at pre op appt I was ask to pay my balance. I was absolutely ready to do so. But I asked to see before and after pics of explant with no replacement before I shelled out any money. The RN said the doc had none. Only revision pics with replacment. Not even one of explant with capsulectomy
I had a capsulectomy 6 weeks ago. 2 days later had to have hematoma removed. 6 days after that had fluid from incision & had to go back to have fluid drained . a week later fluid was aspirated & culture negative. Had fever for a day, then slowly got better despite a few sporadic incidents of fluid coming from incision. past week had some pinkness around area where fluid was aspirated & past 3 days some fevers & this lump. Dr put me on cipro. Is this likely an infection & is my implant maybe salvageable?
I had breast implants removed a wk ago through the inframammary fold. Originial incision was through my armpit so I'm not familiar with what to expect in this area. Today I noticed a hard bump under one incision. The other one does have a slight firmness to it too but not as much. Is this normal? What is it & is this very concerning? Could it be an infection? I notice some slight pinkish color around the breast but nothing alarming. The purple stuff around the incision is glue.
