Breast Implant Revision: Right Side Capsulectomy, Left Side Pocket Revision with Popcorn Capsulorrhaphy

26 days post

3 weeks!

WORTH IT$10,335
Time has flown by! Once I hit the 3 week mark, pain/soreness significantly decreased. I had periodic muscle spasms waking me up around the 2-2.5 week mark, but those have stopped and I’ve been sleeping through the night for the last several nights.

I don’t think my breasts have settled into their final form, but I do think they look and feel better than they did before the revision. I’m still waiting on the upper pole to smooth out, and for my chest muscles to relax, but so far I’m really happy I finally had this surgery. I had a very nice, smooth slope the day after surgery, so I’m confident/hopeful that I’ll look like that again once my muscles finally relax.

So far, my biggest challenge has just been reminding myself not to worry over every detail, but Dr Iteld’s practice has been great about answering my questions and helping me feel at ease. I go back on 10/9, and am excited for the one month milestone!

I could not be happier. I had to have a revision to my breast augmentation, and it took years before I was able to go through with it. After a very long and emotional wait, I found Dr Iteld (he did not perform my initial surgery, by the way). This process was not easy for me, but Dr Iteld and his staff consistently met me with compassion, professionalism, and a wealth of knowledge. Dr Iteld was patient with me, and addressed all of my concerns, and I was very impressed with how attentive Caryle and Jatnna were whenever I had questions. At each appointment, I was warmly greeted by Kailyn, who made me feel genuinely welcome even in chaotic COVID times. Iteld Plastic Surgery has implemented very responsible safety measures, so I felt confident in my safety during every visit. With all those complements out of the way, I'm extremely excited to report that I also 100% endorse Dr Iteld for his surgical prowess as well. My revision results are outstanding. I seriously could not be happier! Dr Iteld gave me back my confidence. My revision resulted in exactly what I've always wanted: natural looking breasts, with a fuller appearance. Highly recommend, and will return for any future procedures.

How long was it before you were able to return to normal activities and not have to worry about heavy lifting or stretching? I’m 6 weeks post capsulorrhaphy and I’m still not able to lift more than 10lbs or do anything strenuous for fear of damaging my permanent sutures.
I am scared.

Update

I was feeling some shooting pains and sensations off and on the last several days, but yesterday and today have been much better. I have soreness in the upper pole of my right breast today, but it’s not terrible. I’m slightly worried that the implant might be riding up, but maybe it’s just swollen in that area right now.

The right side is the side I had capsular contracture on, and I’m noticing a slight upper fullness today along with this soreness. I took some pictures so I can compare and keep track of everything.

Week 1 Check

My one week appointment was great! Got my surgical tape removed, and everything’s right on track. Still sore here and there, but very happy that I’m healing well. I’ll go back in October for the next one!
I no longer have to sleep propped up, and I’m allowed to start using scar cream and wearing more comfortable bras. I’ve been on singular since surgery, and will continue taking for the next year in hopes of preventing capsular contracture a second time. Not much else to say, just relieved to be through the first week and regaining mobility.
