Just got my quote from Rahals Office 16k for lipo and 18k for remove implants and fix my capsular contracture. These prices are horrendous for a returning patient. But it all works out fine i wasn’t happy at my consultation on 12/10/20 i mentioned my capsular contracture to Dr Rahal and he said removing the capsule is a “Cosmetic” thing and didn’t push me at all to remove it. After all the research i have done friends who have had capsular contracture they say it’s IMPORTANT to remove the capsule and the doctor should know that instead of putting ina new implant over it?? Will be looking for other consults in Los Angeles area. Hopefully i find a Dr that can fix my chest that i am not happy with.

Sorry to hear that happened. Your initial PS doesn't seem very helpful at all. Any updates?

2 in a half years post op..

The last post op i had with dr.rahal he told me i had CC on one breast. I’m not sure if i do my one breast feels soft rarely hard at times.. i Also got lipo on my back and it was terrible didn’t achieve the goals i wanted at all my back looked the same after surgery.. then he told me it’s my fault my skin was loose and i had no elasticity... told me to work it out. Overall I’m okay with my Breast results only wish i had gone smaller on my breast implants. I’m considering a consultation with Rahal but not sure if i wasn’t satisfied the first time makes me wonder if I’ll end up unsatisfied again. If not I’m researching this time for a DOUBLE certified surgeon, which plays a big key factor surgery is very costly and recovery is NO joke so i expect 80% satisfaction.. do ur research good lady’s. I wish i had gone with my sisters dr which is Dr.galanis in Beverly Hills she’s 3yrs post op and looks amazing i didn’t like her results at first but once she fluffed out it was gorgeous her incisions are so tiny you can’t even see them and mines are huge and ugly :(
Done with this i just thought i should update my review. Will be back with a update once i get into a consultation with Rahal maybe when this virus stuff calms down.

What size did you go with, 650 cc gummies? Did you go over the muscle? You really look beautiful, thanks for sharing and best of luck to you. Take care of your TaTas as you age because at age 53 I can say healthy diet and good support goes a long way towards ensuring lasting results. That said time stops for no one and even under the best of circumstances childbearing, nursing, sun exposure and plain ol’ age will catch up at some point... but, that’s what plastic surgery is for! If you have a classic Ferrari and take care of it you still need to put new tires on it, am I right? ;-D
I went with 520 cc High profile and under the muscle. Yes diet plays a huge roll as well after surgery i started a health journey that anesthesia is NO joke I’m still researching for my revision i want the best results this time around.
They are amazing
