6 Days Implant Exchange/Revision
LiftednGiftedJune 23, 2016
WORTH IT$9,050
So I'm just under a week and I've had my first post op follow-up. Thus far I have more details. First surgery I opted for 390cc implants and received 300cc/350ccimplants. Everything was great until after the 7th month when I seemed to drop and losse all upper fullness. Month 10 I made a followup and insisted on seeing Dr.Cohen to discuss options and me being unhappy with the lack of fullness. This was the first time he actually saw me after surgery and he really listened and understood how I was feeling.
We planned out our implant exchange and revision.
Cohen covered the revision, I covered the new implants (2700). At this point I want boobs that look like the $13000 I've spent! Understandably so.
Surgery day came and went. I now have 500cc Mentor memory gel HP. I absolutely love how they look! Dr. Cohen said after the surgery that he took more skin away and that they shouldn't change much from where they are. I kinda feel like he did another mini lift and tweaked things to really try and help perfect my final look.
I really hope they don't drop too much but from I'm reading there's nothing to stop them from dropping like normal. I want to love them but I'm so afraid that they wont stay as is! LOL.???? if I get attached will they deflate like last time or is it okay to go ahead and fall in love with my boobies?
The incisions underneath hurt, itch, and feel numb. Theres a bit of a sharp pain when I reach to the left or right, up, or down. The implants already feel soft and pretty though.
My next followup is nxt week but its likely that they just want to take pics and remove the strips.
I'm tired from the whole sleeping on my back thing. I really do love my boobies again though! Crossing my fingers that they wont droop and deflate again. Please, oh please stay with me this time upper pole fullness!!!!

I just had my breast lift 10 - 11 days ago. And I got 420 extra high profile implants. I think I have much bigger scars under breasts, but my doctor removed as much skin as he could to make very good uplift. When You where going for surgery? Do you were asking for natural look? Thats what I did not want, because breasts will sag with time. No one has change law of gravity.
I was looking at yuor pictures and I was thinking,maybe problem was not the implant, but not enough removed extra skin from begining.
How are you doning todya? Wish you all the best.

Implant swap out for upper pole fullness!
LiftednGiftedJune 19, 2016
Well I had surgery two days ago to help achieve that upper pole fullness I lost. Dr. Cohen was awesome and completely understood my concerns.
I didnt come home with the implant tags thistime but I'm pretty sure he said he swapped my 350cc out for 500cc.
So far it's nice and full! He removed some extra tissue as well.

I'm happy you were able to get what you wanted! Just wondering if you had to pay the full costs or if he covered the revision? I'm concerned my implants may be too small now that the swelling is gone they are almost the same level of droopiness I had before (or I'm concerned they may be anyway)
June 23, 2016
I had to buy the new implats but he covered everything else. Total came to like 2700.. well worth it though considering I was already in so deep with the lift and implants.

I am so happy for you. I am about 9 months post of and want lipo on the sides of my boobs to get rid of the side bulge. I kinda feel bad about not being completely happy but I'm not happy with the way they look and want them smaller.

It’s great you only had to pay for the implants! I think you did the right thing with getting a revision! My surgery is in 8 months and my before is very similar to yours! I hope my results are as lovely as yours

Feeling unsure
LiftednGiftedApril 6, 2016
I feel as though they are droopy again. I swear they had more cleavage 2 months ago. Now I feel as though there is no upper fullness and my skin is loose. I guess all of the swekling has officially left.
Made a followup appointment. I opted for larger implants then I recieved. I'm wondering if that is why my top isn't full? I want a nice tight cleavage, not hanging stretch marks and loose skin! My areolas are so large feeling as well. They were always large but never noticeable with soft blended lines. The scars make the edges pronounced and I feel like I have a cartoon animated characters areolas.
I'm feeling incredibly upset. When I made my followup the assistant said "oh, we haven't seen you since surgery." Meanwhile I went to my follow-ups and both times the doctor wasn't available to see me. I saw nurses instead.
Has anyone else felt upset and unsure this far along after recovering?

They dont have much upper pole fullness but they look great! You have big and perky boobs. They look natural and not saggy at all. Im my opinion they look very nice. Just do whatever makes you happy :)

I think they still look good, but I can also see the change in upper pole fullness compared to your other pics. You never saw Dr. Cohen at your follow ups? That's really strange. When you made this appt did you specifically ask to see him this time? Hopefully he will have some insight for you. I'm wondering if it is because moderate profile was used instead of a high profile?
April 10, 2016
You still look amazing! As others said, you don't have as much upper pole fullness as before, but they look completely natural and beautiful. Do you recall what you asked for? Did you want upper pole fullness? I also think it's strange you haven't seen Dr. Cohen and if I were you, I would be very firm and persistent in scheduling an appointment with him to discuss concerns. I am interested to read your update on what he says/recommends. What's most important is that YOU are happy with your results. But for what it's worth, I think your breasts are very pretty.
September 7, 2018
I felt the same way!! And I’m still wondering although everyone says they look amazing and so natural - you look the same!!!! Really naturally beautiful!
That being said, we risk sagging even more with larger implants. Obviously, they are heavier and there is no way to defy gravity. So I'm torn.... stay the same size and hope the revision on both tightens them up and gives me a little better nipple position and upper pole fullness.... OR try and achieve that by going a little bigger. I would much rather have young and perky and lifted than larger and saggy...
I really hope yours stay where you want them! I hope the upper pole fullness remains! Just let me know if your first set were MPP or HP??!! I'm really leaning on maybe change mine out to HP (but keeping the same size implant).
Happy revision in Aug! I wish the best perky boobies possible for you!!
With the revision and even more skin removed I have high hopes for this round to really work.
