Mentor MemoryGel Xtra 370cc MPP

Hello! Now that I am a year out everything is great! I do have a couple things that I would change, like the type of implants, I wish I got the Mentor Memorygel Xtra because I do have some rippling when I bend over. And I wish I asked the PS to do something about the skin on my sternum. The skin is almost detached from my primary BA, I don't know any other way to describe it. It was really bad after my primary BA and Dr. Colgrove felt that it would be fixed by simply lifting the IMF. It is a lot better after the revision, but anytime I lay down in a reclined position, like with pillows behind my back, it looks gross because the skin folds over. I think I posted a video about it on my revision page. My biggest concern is that my right breast feels like the capsulorraphy came undone, or the stitches broke during my recovery. You can feel the thick scar tissue that was deep in the IMF originally is now at the base of my breast. I was supposed to set up a telehealth appt with the PS, and send pics, but I never did. I do think he would fix it for free, but right now I don't have the money to fly out to the east coast and I can't take off work at this time. I try and be as transparent as possible and show the good and the bad. Overall I absolutely love my results and I am very happy with how well they turned out. I have a good IMF, I haven't bottomed out, and I actually have cleavage. Neither PS told me what my BWD was, and I never thought to ask at the time. I will have to post an update now that I'm a year post-op. Sorry for the long message!

I would highly suggest you go to someone else. If you are in the Last Vegas area I would recommend Dr. Brown or Dr. Richards. They both have really awesome work. Dr. Brown is great and I wish I went to her, unfortunately she doesn't really do out of town patients, she will only do it if you go in for a consultation first and then go back for surgery. Since I live in Hawaii at the time that seemed like too much for me, but I wish I had done it, it would have saved me a lot of money and time. And Dr. Richards does amazing work but he has a long wait list if I remember correctly. I'm not sure what problems you are having with your implants or if you are willing to travel, but if you are looking at Las Vegas I would recommend those two doctors!

Thank you! Yes I love them! I really am so happy I had them done! Thanks

Dr. Revis did say I was bottomed out, or at least over dissected when I sent him pics and got my quote. I like my nipples to be high lol but not this high. They sit at the top of the implant instead of in the middle or "breast mound". I think they look great when I'm wearing sports bras, it gives me the cleavage I want but I wish that when I took off my bras that the top of my cleavage started at my armpit area instead of starting so low. One PS's told me that I was bottomed out and that the skin would just keep stretching and stretching and of course he told me I had to go under the muscle. After hearing your story I definitely feel more confident about going to Dr Revis. I absolutely love your results, and I don't think that my expectations are too out of reach. I try and make sure that my expectations are realistic. I would like to keep the lower pole and have way more upper pole along with it if that's even possible. I do feel like my pockets are way over dissected my implants can move all around in there and when I lay on my back they do splay into my armpits, which is normal if you have natural breasts but I have implants LOL. So I do feel like I was a little bit over dissected.

Definitely! free roaming boobies! enlarged pockets are dangerous cuz thats how I almost got symmastia, thank God my tissue was strong enough. Thats what I had with my 550cc, my pockets were worse than yours, the boobs would go anywhere up to my collar bones way near my back haha. I did lots of typos on my other response, hope I still make sense.
My mom has massive real boobs, im jealous and she is very wide at the sternum, her boobs dont go under the armpits like mine did tho, its just that the breast tissue kinda falls over there being so big, but real boobs are nowhere near the armpit. That was another issue I had, lateral displacement, crazy, theyd slide from a higher position on the sides, they were not centered and for yrs I thought that this was normal lol. That doc thought they look natural placed like that. What you want is very simple, Dr Revis has no limits, he works with 3000cc implants. My case was more complicated, and my last doc insisted that i cannot go back to my 14.8cm width *eye roll* he kept saying ill have median pain and rippling, kept saying they will go higher on my chest. He couldnt see that they didnt fit because he placed them too high! ugh. He didnt know how to do a subglandular placement. Some docs man. I proved him wrong, i mean Dr Revis did. I knew it wasnt right for them to be so high yet he kept saying thats the right thing. I think Dr Revis has the tendency to place the implants closer than other docs, and mine now being so projected at 6.7cm, and my sternum so bony they look like balls and look abit low on my chest BUT its an illusion cuz when I compare them to my 550cc my moles on my chest prove that theyre placed at the same height and my right one even higher cuz it was bottomed out. Enough with my rambling, Just wanted to say your desire is nothing crazy and you deserve perfect results, the docs who say you cant do this or that arent skilled enough. Just dont go under the muscle for sure it creates so many other problems, its normal I mean our body doesnt like a foreign object under the muscle, you get Capsular contracture etc, real boobs arent under the muscle lol, half it covers the implant and you bottom out faster than ever if you lift weights. Plus the submuscular ones look like theyre hanging from the armpits lol. Whats crazy with mine is that I had the same implant type the Xtra HP gel at 700cc and now at 790cc, yet the 700cc were so much harder. In 3 days ill be 1 month post op and they feel soft like real, im amazed at Dr Revis' work no joke.

Please be careful and research your revision PS carefully. Research ALL platforms. And whatever you do don't buy into that internal bra. I know many ladies who have major issues with them from a certain PS as he stitches that directly to your rib cage and becomes very painful in the long run. Good luck.
