They look amazing! How's the softness of them? If you feel comfortable with doing a video it would really be helpful.
They are a textured implant so they don't have a natural "soft" feel to them.
Ah I see. Thanks for the quick reply :)

10 days post op.

Had an open capsulorrhaphy and open capsulotomy both on the left implant. ( side with the mole)
My left implant capsule became too lose and was allowing that textured implant to slip around.
Left is still swollen and a tad higher but hopeful now they’ll be even
So far so good

What implant did you use? Hp, Moderate plus or Moderate? I have to get a revision again. I have 700 hp now, but would like to go to a 550 moderate or mod plus. I would like a wider implant than just the ball look on me. I'm 5'1" and 123lbs. I'm very lean on top.
What is an open capsulorraphy?
Just showing a bikini top does not help us out. I wanted to see if your left breast cane down to match the right side.
I'm not posting nude photos. But yes it matches fine now

Another surgery. $1553

So upset that again i need another surgery.
Thankfully it’s only the left side to Iz the capsule.
Have it scheduled for February 3 rd. Trying to get it done sooner as I’m going on a trip 2 weeks later and don’t feel comfortable now with healing on a vacation here we plan to do hiking ect,
This office isn’t great at getting back to patients after their surgeries lately either

Have you had your revision? When is it scheduled for? I feel your disappointment I really do! I am going through the same thing. I wish I could be one of those people who have no problems!
I had my revision back in April... :( The left implant capsule, from what I understood, expanded too much. And caused it too drop down and to the left. My implants are uneven so my next surgery to fix this implant is now January 24th
Good luck you will be having your surgery soon
Hang in there!! I know how frustrating it is to have to REVISE the revision (I have had a few myself). But it is worth it. Do u like and trust. your surgeon? That is s important imo. I have my one year check tomorrow and feel a bit nervous because I've gained a little weight and it's noticeable, especially in my breasts and the area on my chest below my breasts. I doubt my dr will say anything but it's just hard standing bare chested in front of him when I'm feeling fat. Anyway enough About me!!! Lol I hope the surgery on the 24th goes well for you. I don't think anyone's boobs ever turn out perfect. I think mine look a little wonky but I'm used to it now and don't even notice the differences. Good luck and keep us updated!!
Surgery went well! I'll be 2 weeks post op tomorrow.
Yeah, I know what you mean about after surgery communication. Some of the offices are done with you once you’ve paid your thousands.....
Only seems like his scheduler is that way. All the other nurses had no issue calling me and actually getting ahold of me. The doctors scheduler said in 2 separate occasions she called and left voicemails. ( I feel she never did call though)
I hope everything works out and you love them !
