Breast implant revision and reverse TT revision
WORTH IT$12,000
Implants are 15 yrs old. I didn't realize until recently that my left breast has been bottomed out for many years. Going from 500cc overfilled saline to 650hp silicone.
I had BodyTite to multiple areas in 2018 and my upper abdomen looked horrible after. The skin was loose and just hanging.
I had a reverse TT with same surgeon to fix this. It helped but I still had a lot of loose skin in the middle, from my belly button up to my breasts.
I had a reverse TT revision with same surgeon six months later. The results were not good.
Big, thick scars and the location of the incisions caused skin creasing and laxity between my breasts. Also, under my left breast, the scar tissue was especially thick and itchy and in one spot, continued to grow and spread. It was a daily struggle, despite using silicone sheeting and Mederma for the time since the surgery. The shape of my breasts also looked different.
This is because my left breast was lower than my right, due to bottoming out, but I was not aware of this at the time because it had always looked that way.
If the surgeon had told me my left breast was bottomed out, I could have had that repaired and maybe would have had much better results with the reverse TT. But he never told me. All he said is that my left IMF was lower than he right.
The scars, loose and creased skin really affected my self-esteem. I didn't want my husband to see me undressed. I just wanted to feel normal again. I looked worse than before I started this journey to years ago.
After much research, stress and soul searching, I found Dr. Moliver. He replaced my breast implants, fixed my bottomed out left breast and revised the reverse TT for the second time. He is very progressive and up to date in surgical care.
Also, he does not use opioids after this surgery-it's a regimen of gabapentin, celexicob and ondansatron. And it works wonderfully!
My pain is just mild discomfort. Tylenol and ice take care of it. I'm up and walking around. I don't feel drugged out and no constipation.
I'm day 2 post-op today and I'm already feeling very optimistic about my results.
And now the healing journey begins, which is more challenging than the surgery experience, IMO.
