Capsulectomy - Beverly Hills, CA

Thank you for posting here on RealSelf! Were your initial implants saline or silicone? And, were they replaced or removed altogether?

It sounds like you had a great experience with your surgeon. I hope healing went quickly and easily for you!

The new ones are the improved silicone implants. He might be injecting some fat from another area around the implants. We will be looking into it as soon as I am healed. He could have done it at the same time but I have a history of being a bleeder and a slow healer so he made a decision to wait. He really went over my chart several times and even asked me alot of questions the morning of the surgeries. I had to go in again for the right side as I had some clotting, which is what happened last time I had to have them replaced. I have had more biopsies on the right (from my 20's on I was always having biopsies there as they were always fibrocystic). He actually took away old scar tissue so I look better than before and one nipple was completely to the side. He surgically removed it and moved it over without disconnecting anything, so I still have feeling- amazing. In 1994 they did a subcutaneous double mastectomy, as I was at the beginning of cancer, before stage 1. I had that blood test which came up positive and showed me to be at the beginning stages. I am the 3rd. generation of women on my mother's side. My mother died of breast cancer and her mother did and an aunte so I am the first on my mother's side to make it past 53. I am 58.-The implants were removed completely and new ones put in. The old were saline and I have always had trouble with them. Hope this helps you. I also had a full hysterectomy in 2000, there were 9 tumors, all benign but was bleeding and they couldn't control the bleeding. They took everything so now I am on hormone replacement.

Wow, you have really been through a lot! More than one woman should.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

You are so welcome. I have never talked about it openly like this before but if it helps others, that's great.

Thanks so much for Sharing Jodi!  It sounds like you have been through a lot and you are very strong.  I am glad the Dr took such great care of you.  

 

BTW, are you still planning on getting fat transferred to your breasts?
