Dr Mapula is absolutely amazing he gave me so much confidence and he is very professional if I need anything else with plastic surgery I will definitely be coming to him. He is genuine and nice and he is a good looking man inside and out.
I had implants put in 1990. They had become hardened calcified and were leaking into my lymph nodes. Dr Steve Mapula met me, explained surgery to remove and new put in, and it was successfully performed. He took very good care of me and I couldn’t be more pleased. He is kind, thoughtful and very thorough. The cost was very reasonable.
Wow I can’t believe how amazing my breast look. I’ve carried these heavy things for so long I can’t get over how great they look. Thank you so much for boosting my confidence even more. He took the time to listen to my concerns and exceeded my goal. Recovery was a breeze and definitely will refer all of my family and friends to him. Thank you so much. I would post pics but still healing it’s been a few weeks.

Updated on 29 Dec 2022: Just added pics for the update..after is 2 weeks after surgery still swollen and gets better with time. I’ve learned swelling can last up until a year after surgery. After care is definitely encouraged and loving the new me.
Two months ago, Dr. Mapula performed a breast reduction for me. I went from an H cup to a C cup. This has been an absolutely surreal time for me. My back feels lighter with less pain, my self esteem is way better, and I can actually buy a bra in the store that fits. I felt so ugly and heavy before seeing Dr. Mapula. His team is so nice and caring. Shout out to Ashley and Cecelia too. They made me so comfortable- and my wife too! We enjoyed seeing this team and are almost sad that I am completely cleared. Definitely worth a consultation. Oh and the timeline was amazing. About 3 weeks to be seen for a consult, surgery slightly delayed due to MY insurance company, not their team, but was still 2 months later. I was through surgery and recovering before others that I contacted in December had open consults. The surgery center was really nice, with nice staff there too. Dr. Mapula made sure my wife and I had all his contact information so if we had an issue after leaving, we could reach him over the weekend. Best decision I have ever made. REVIEW500
It was by far the best experience I could have ever had. Dr. Mapula and his entire team went above and beyond to make sure I was comfy and knew every detail about the procedure. I have zero complaints, nothing but praises to him, his RN, Kateria, the anesthesiologist, the team that was in the OR with him. You guys went above and beyond to make me feel like I was the only one having surgery that day. Actually, I felt as if I was in your family! The RN that took care of me after my procedure was super sweet. I just remember feeling like I was in good hands and safe. I had no worries while in his care and EVERY single person on his team took the time to explain to me EVERY detail of the before & after process. It just felt right. Dr. Mapula is an amazing surgeon who does amazing work! I prayed to God before deciding on a surgeon and God literally answered my prayers with Dr. Mapula! I pray for nothing but continued success and love for Dr. Mapula and his team!!! Thank you for all you’ve done for me and my life! Also, his office staff is super friendly and sweet! I love Ashley, she’s such a sweetheart and she always makes me feel like a cool big sis, lol. She’s a whole vibe and it’s always good seeing her!
Dr Mapula is the absolute best. I went to a medical conference he did at our hospital (I am a nurse) and I was very impressed by his work. He listened to my needs during consult and did an excellent job. I’m very satisfied with the results of my surgery and the entire experience. As a RN I don’t recommend docs unless they are truly extraordinary. Dr. Mapula did a wonderful job and will be using him again for my breast augmentation next year.
My experience with Dr. Mapula was the best he actually listened to my need and was able to bring me life changing results. I am 100 percent happy with my results and this is the best decision I have made in my life.
The answer to your question is yes - downsizing to a lower profile like a moderate or moderate plus will yeild a more natural result.
In my opinion, 750cc is far too large as the weight of the implant alone with predispose it to bottoming out without added support. A revision with added mesh for support as well as a skin excision would help you achieve the desired result. I would also advocate for a smaller implant for less weight.
It appears that your implants are sitting high, but your breast was not lifted high enough to grant you the result you seek. You would need a revision lift
What you actually need to have done at this point is a wedge excision of the inferior pole with a slightly smaller implant to bring the nipple position down
It is difficult to tell about a capsular contracture without doing an in-person exam, however I do agree that you have an asymmetric result. It appears you have a “double-bubble” deformity of the right breast. The left breast appears to sit much lower. You would benefit from an implant exchange, potentially a pocket exchange, and nipple repositioning. With regards to cost, that really depends on the part of the country you're in and her your surgeon is
