I had breast implants 4 years ago with a different surgeon. They were placed sub glandular and from day one I wasn't happy. It was told to me that I would have an acceptable outcome with this type of placement and would avoid having to have a breast lift. With a sub muscular placement I would of required a lift. I was so terrified for the scarring that comes along with a lift that I opted to go with the sub glandular placement. So here I am 4 years later and required a much needed revision. I had 490cc mod profile implants placed sub muscular with a lollipop lift. I could not be happier!!! Dr. DeLuca is an amazing surgeon. Just look at my pics. My scars are barely visible and this picture is only 8 weeks PO. The healing process was pretty uneventful other than the discomfort that comes along with this procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. DeLuca he take such pride and care in his work. He's clearly an artist :)

Congratulations! So glad you're happy with your revision results and that your lift scars are barely visible!

I had a ba 12 years under the muscle. My breasts are sagging now and I should have them fixed. I,m just so worried about the pain. The first ba the pain was horrendous. Is the second one any easier?
June 15, 2015
My second was way worse because I was above the muscle prior. So this was incredibly painful. But 2 weeks ago I had the implants just exchanges and it wasn't bad at all. If you have them already under it won't be nearly as bad for your revision since the pocket is already there :)

thank you for your response! That makes since. But,did u have a lift with it at all. Just wondering if doing a lift will be painful

My 490cc implants were done with a lift simultaneously. The pain from going under the muscle far out weighed the lift pain. If it hurt I have no idea. Lol.

Saddened by the lack of projection

Hairbyannette72
So I'm going to see Doc tomorrow. I'm concerned with the left side still being a tad higher and I am very disappointed with my size. I kept reading all these stories of DF and people getting bigger. So I haven't said too much about the size because I thought I would have this miraculous size increase. Well to my dismay I have lost a inch as things have settled in. Plus truly I feel like I have very wide but pancake like breasts. I wanted to have the same size as my old implants just lifted and perky. So I am going in tomorrow to talk about this with the doctor. He is so amazing and while he did a great job with the revision ultimately I'm sad about shopping for padded bras to make me look like my old size. Braless isn't really and option because I feel so small without the padding even though they sit in a nice position. I know the doctor will help me because he is such a professional and clearly passionate about his work and making his paitents happy. I'll keep ya posted!!

My doctor is the BEST!!!!

I Saw Dr. Deluca today to discuss my concern with the left side riding a bit higher and the lack of projection with my current implant. He was so caring and understanding. He did see the slight difference between the 2 breasts and listened to my concerns with my size. He never once made me feel uncomfortable. His main concern was to make me happy. I am a taller woman and body build, plus I have a very wide chest so apparently I have eaten my CC's LOL!! So he has offered to exchange the implants for a larger size to achieve the look I was hoping for. I am so pleased. He is the most amazing surgeon and truly cares about his patients. I cannot say enough about him and his staff. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I am schedule for June 10th. I will keep you posted of my progress!!
