Hello- I’m 19 and 5’7”. I got a breast lift along with saline implants due to tubular breasts. I had my year post-op appointment last week and the first thing she said was “there is definitely something very wrong here” and diagnosed me with capsular contracture among admitting she didn’t do as good of a job as she could’ve and quoted me $10k to fix it. Should I really be paying another $10k to fix everything when she admits that some of it is her fault?

Answer: Revision Unfortunately, your original operation provided an inadequate lift. Most likely your implants were placed in front of the muscle resulting in capsular contracture. You will need a repeat lift and probably replace the implants retro-pectoral. In general, pre-pectoral implants lead to capsular contracture and should not have been done. A reasonable compromise would be for you to pay for facility and anesthesia and your surgeon should not charge you her fees.

Answer: Breast augmentation Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You seem to have a capsular contracture but this can happen with many patients who have undergone breast augmentation. You also began with a very challenging tuberous breast deformity and have made a significant improvement, thanks to you surgeon. If you trust your surgeon, you should allow them to help again. If not, a second opinion can be helpful.
