Breast Implant Revision

Dr. Buenaventura was a complete godsend for me!
I initially had my first breast implant procedure done by a different doctor in September 2018. I got Allergen 295 cc, Mod. Plus, silicone implants - within 2 months I realizes things werent looking right, they were sitting too high (naturally), not dropping, and I completely HATED what I was seeing. By the 3rd to 4th month of my first procedure the implants started to feel hard when I would stretch or put my self in a different position other than what is considered a "normal resting position". As soon as I hit my 6 month post op date I immediately went in to see dr. Buenaventura.
At my revision consultation she immediately was able to point out everything that I was disliking about my previous procedure (**see attached photos** too high, not sitting naturally, no cleavage, etc.) and even mentioned that the implants/the pre op photos I brought in look as if I had "tuberous breasts".
She answered any and all questions I had (I came in with a notebook full from technical/medical terms, implant size/appearance for my body type,
operation procedures, post op question, aftercare, emergency procedures, etc) without hesitation, even if some of them sounded redundant. I even messaged her with additional questions I may have had leading up to the procedure date.
From the second I woke up from the procedure I could tell an immediate difference in look/feel of the implants. I went from Allergen 295cc mod. plus silicone implants to Mentor 400cc, mod. plus silicone implants and could not be more happy. For both procedures I went under the muscle and had the incision under the breast.
For the post op care, all the staff at the Sendi Office were very professional and willing to help with any and all concerns I had. As of today (December 2019) I'm 7.5 months post op and have had an amazing experience.
I went from a little less than an A cup to a full C cup. The size fits my body type, looks VERY natural, and isnt over powering. Being in the military I workout quite often and I havent noticed any restrictions when I work out due to the implants. Because I got the plants placed under the muscle I do feel/notice the tightening of the muscle around the implants but it's nothing drastic that stops the performance.

Lovely results! Has this PS done many revisions w/tuberous breasts? I ask bc I'm curious if she released the constricted bands under your areolas? The profile pic at 7.5 mpo your nipple/areola have a pointy/puffy appearance still. If later you have issues with that not rounding out and taking a more natural breast look or if you begin to have a double bubble look, have the constricted bands released. You def have a big difference from both sx. Good luck and happy continued healing. :-)

She mentioned it, but I didnt want/feel comfortable with an areola incision. I dont know why but that terrifies me lol. She did bilateral scoring incisions to release the bands under the breast by the incision sight and that worked wonders!! But it was my decision to not have the areolas done. Maybe if I ever get them redone I'll have that taken care of. But as of right now 13 months PO I'm completely happy! :)
