Revision Date Made

Good news! After stressing for several months about what to do about my revision, I finally have a plan. My original concern was that my PS was blowing off my complaints about my augmentation. While I was at the doctors in November, I was told I need to wait until my one year post op mark before even discussing a revision. After waiting another 2 months I decided a more intense discussion was in order. I was afraid that my concerns were not being taken very serious as I have a tendency to be very mild mannered in person. #anxietyprobs. So I wrote an email. I was able to explain my situation a bit more accurately. I wrote a 6 paragraph email and included 6 pictures. I was polite but firm. The next day I received a phone call agreeing with my assessment and my expectations were immediately surpassed! My PS and his staff have impressed me once again and after speaking extensively with one of the nurses, I am confident that I made a good decision to stay with my current PS To have my revision done. I am scheduled to have a double pocket revision on May 18th, 5 days after my one year mark! I feel so much better about this procedure and feel I've asked all the necessary questions.
That being said if anyone has any tips about the healing process after a pocket revision I would love to hear any and all that you have!!

Revision

Well, last month I spoke with another surgeon, slightly outside of my area, but highly recommended via RS and other sites as well. He was very nice and answered all of my questions directly. I've been concerned about both bottoming out and my implant pockets being too big. He confirmed my suspicion about the pockets and suggested a pocket revision. Due to the fact that we spoke over the phone we were unable to discuss bottoming out. Currently, my nipples turn obviously upward and I have about 3 fingers between nipple and the top of my implant, whereas I can fit my whole hand and even a few extra fingers underneath. It less obvious without my hands to show the spaces (I apologize for no pictures). When i am standing up I can fit my whole hand, fingers facing down, in between my implants. When I am laying down, my 6'1 bf can fit his whole hand, fingers sideways, between my implants. My hand fits with space and the implant touches my wrist. While I am concerned about bottoming out, I am thinking that a pocket revision will improve the placement enough that I will not need any additional revisions to fix that. The surgeon I spoke too on the phone suggested that I give my current surgeon a change, even though he's been dodging my concerns, and perhaps even ask to be directed for a second opinion.
I have anxiety about asking my current PS for a second opinion. I'm not sure how to do that properly. Especially since my PS told me I needed to wait until a full year. Which would be summer, and I'd like them to be fixed before people see me in a bathing suit, because I can't wear one! My nipples come out the top and my implants slide out the side. Progress to be continued. Please! I will take all the advice I can get because I am struggling to find the best solution for me.

Pissed and Ready to Find a new Surgeon

It's a sad moment for me. I went and talked to my PS today. I spent 15 whole minutes at the doctors, 10 of that was me sending waiting room snapchats. In the brief minutes that I actually spoke to my doctor, I mentioned all my concerns to my PS who immediately blew off all my concerns. He would say, "but they look good" after every complaint that I had. Maybe he felt that emphasizing that statement more would make it true. Except I don't think my boobs look good at all. Do they look awful? No. I would even venture as far as saying they don't look bad. I just don't think they look good. And they do not live up to my expectations at all. That's the beauty of ELECTIVE surgery. I can ELECT to have it done however I want and I don't appreciate that I'm being held up to his mediocre standards instead of my own. I'm super disappointed for a number of reasons.
1. No one wants to have to plan out a revision. Especially only after 6 months.
2. I'm majorly disappointed in the lack of care, attention, and respect given to me at my appointment today. The nice,eager politeness I experienced before my augmentation is completely gone.
3. I should never have to put a fake smile on at a doctors office to just end the appointment. That's how obvious it was that I wasn't being taken seriously.

I know that I COULD be satisfied with my results, but I don't need to be. Cosmetic surgery is to help you feel better about the body You have. Literally the ONLY requirement that my doctor met was big boobs. But that's not enough. I don't feel better at all. Nothing has changed for me! I can't wear cute bathing suits cuz my boobs slide to far to the side. I can't lay down cuz with no bra my boobs disappear in my armpits and I have indents by my sternum, with a bra is incredibly painful and I awkward. I don't even wear V neck shirts because it's so hard to get my implants to sit properly in a wire bra that they look super awkward and far apart. I have zero cleavage. I know they already sit so low at 6 months so i know a few years from now they will be so much worse! I'm afraid.

My friend, who is the same size as me, has Low profile implants that sit twice as high on her body as mine. She has had two kids since the BA as well as major weight loss. The implants are also 10 years old. She thought that I also had low pro implants that were over the muscle. My implants are actually 440 HP silicone unders. She thought I had "like 600" LP Saline. I know neither of us are doctors and we should expect different results for different people, but this is too much. I feel like I have tube socks stapled to my chest with two implants floating around at the bottom.

I wanna look good and feel good. Right now, i feel that I've wasted money and I have no idea what to do. Do I stick with my PS? Will he make it worse? Do I find a new PS?
I'm worried about the cost.
I'm worried about more scars and even worse results.

Dr. Lee is very straight forward and doesn't have the best bedside manner, but I was just fine with this because all my questions were answered with real responses and I don't feel that he tried to beat around the bush and give me 1/2 answers. There was a mix up at the office and my pre-op appointment never got scheduled, however the staff was super accommodating and apologized and squeezed me in the following week. Zhanna, at the front desk, was so nice to me. She answered all my questions and was able to email me my pre-op paperwork as well as the blood work papers so that I could get started. My surgery went well but I bottomed out quickly and badly. My concerns were over looked then ignored until I sent a strongly worded email. At 6 months post op I had a pocket revision and while it corrected the form of my left breast, and stopped them from hurting, my nipples still point up and it's hard for me to wear many outfits. Covered up I look great, but I didn't get fake boobs just to wear baggy T-shirts.
