Revision Complete - Capsular Contracture
WORTH IT
Ended up having a revision done to correct my left breast. IDK how they did it but somehow Dr. K's staff was able to convince my insurance carrier to cover it. Dr. went in with a few different ideas of what the problem could be, turns out it was capsular contracture. Ended up replacing the implant and adjusting the pocket a bit. Day after pics look really good. If the positioning and all hold up after the swelling goes down I should be very happy with the result. Crossing my fingers the Capsular Contracture doesn't reoccur.

Another look
Just adding another view that makes it even more obvious just how messed up my left breast is. This one was taken in a mirror and from further away so I apologize for the low quality. However you can still see just how high the left side is riding compared to the right.

18 Months, and not looking good, very disppointed
Last I checked in, I was pretty happy and expecting things to really turn out as my breasts continued to drop. Well things didn't go as planned. My right side dropped and looks great. It's the right shape and is exactly what I hoped for. My left side is a mess. It has not dropped and is not sitting right. The top of the implant is very pronounced and even has a bump now because of how it sits. Took these pics this morning as the light hit it perfectly to see what the issue is. I'm actually in tears as I'm writing this realizing I'm going to have to come up with money for an expensive revision.

For $18000 your surgeon should revise your breast for FREE! Have you talked to him?

I do want to be fair to Dr. K. That amount is the total that was paid by me and my insurance to the surgeon, the hospital and the anesthesiologist. The way our health system works, because insurance was paying, all the amounts were much higher. My best friend had to pay out of pocket and hers was in the $7000-8000 ballpark, all in. I did reach out to his staff, don't have a follow-up scheduled yet.

At that cost I would be banging on his door threatening to sue. Dont give him another cent.
