Breast implant removal and re augmentation
WORTH IT$11,000
I had silicone breast implants since 1994 and obviously needed them replaced.
I had an breast MRI to check for ruptures and an ultrasound and it didn't show there was any rupture so I proceeded only to discover during surgery it had not only indeed ruptured but it was not the implant I was told many years ago that was being used , it was a old liquid silicone style .Very disappointed that I was lied to about that and a couple of other things from back then...
My surgeon Dr Graeme Southwick was very informative and kind during my consultation as was his secretary Simone trying to pin me down to get into my initial appointment as they knew I needed after so many years to get these old ones out!
I'm a if it's not broken why fix it kind of girl and didn't seem to be giving me any trouble.
I researched my doctor choice heavily for a couple of years and I chose Dr Southwick because of his obvious experience and knowledge but also his great care and interest in Cancer prevention.
I also looked into doctors interstate...and it was a toss up between him a another very well known doctor or 2 in Sydney.
His work can be hard to come by which is why I'm doing a review - basically he is sooo busy and in high demand he doesn't need to advertise or put his work out there.
Implants that were used were Motiva 460cc
Anyway operation went well a few months down the track I went in for a revision as one side where there was a massive rupture there was lots of tissue that needed to be removed and wasn't sitting as a well as the other one.
Recovery as it was under the muscle as opposed to my previous on top was a tight feeling not really painful more uncomfortable , I slept upright for a month . Sounds hard but I was fine , I don't think you have to sleep upright for that long though .
I realised I had one boob naturally higher then the other which needed to be lowered and whilst I was in Dr Southwick gave me a nipple reduction as well which I'm over the moon with as well.
The projection not the aerola was reduced only.
I'm 6weeks post revision and nipple reduction recovery was fast feeling no pain even in nipples it's like nothing happened.
My boobs and nipples are perfect now I'm thrilled .
