WORTH IT$7,450
all is well, have lost weight after foreign travel and keeping it off...can feel the texture in the plants more now, kinda like veins in my breasts or something. Have a seam that can be felt and sticks out a bit on left breast, Dr said he could take fat and inject it at the site, but I'm DONE with procedures! Finally feeling awesome! Love clothes shopping now and dressing sexier and dresses! I never used to wear dresses, now I love them!

Dr. Tantillo's consultation was informative and relaxed. He was the third Dr. I visited, so to be fair I had much more specific questions for him (I was better prepared). He was the only Dr. that took a picture of me, printed it out and drew on it to confirm that he understood the natural slope I desired. I had many questions as the surgery day approached which were handled mostly by his staff (Sukanya and Blakely - the Physician's Asst.) Sukanya answered my emails in a timely manner and mostly made me feel fine about asking anything as much as I needed. Blakely spent a lengthy phone call with me helping me to understand new issues that I thought might arise with the choice we had made. On the day of the procedure Dr. Tantillo seemed to remember me (I had only met with him twice before) and was super nice. The procedure experience was fast, comfortable and the staff was AMAZING! My first post-op appointment was fast, the assistant took out the stitches, said everything looked great and explained how to care for them until the next visit. Dr. Tantillo came in briefly to check 'em out and was very pleased with their progress. I had questions after he left and they had no problem bringing me to his office to talk to him directly until I was satisfied. He's a great Dr. and I really would recommend him to anyone! I'm at the 3 week mark, so we'll see how the next 5 months go!

So glad you are doing well and are happy! You probably feel the implants more because of your weight loss. I have that problem. I have little to no body fat in that area. I'm aost 4 weeks from my revision on my right side. Such a big pain...going into this never thought it was going to be such a production. But I can see light finally! Take care:)

theres always something...

so, I've finally started to feel good again, healed from the revision, accepting of my decisions, back into my regular workouts, starting to feel like my "old self" again, and then this week I start to notice something odd on my left side (yup the revision side) ....not only can I feel the texture of the implant (which is why one Dr, said he only uses smooth) but the seam is very obvious. It feels pretty creepy, the worst part is my husband noticed it right away last time we were intimate, he said it felt weird and kinda grossed him out (and musta stopped his mood at that point!)

I feel like I just can't get a break!

I'm never doing surgery for this again (unless it's because I have to remove them for some drastic reason), makes me wonder if it really is worth it after all? I think my biggest regret is that I didn't do round with insertion at the areola.

Anyone else feel their implant seam? If so, has it ever shifted on its own, or is this how it's gonna be from now on?
Hi there! I have similar implants to - Sientra HP Round Based 370CC Shaped - and I have a little bit of a stubborn left side too. I feel it dropping okay (I just had my 2 week post op yesterday) but is more swollen and a tad higher than my right. My right is healing perfectly. PS didn't seem concerned though. However one concern that I did bring up to him was that I could really feel the implant on my left side. Sometimes depending on how I was laying I could run my fingers along it and feel the creases in the implant. He said it was normal - I had very little breast tissue to begin with and depending on how much is on each side and where the implant is placed, you will be able to feel the implant under the skin. Nothing you can do about it - it is more common in thin women. As you heal more on that side more tissue should develop around it which may make it better, but there's no way to tell. Yours look great though!!!
I felt my implant edges for a long time after surgery. I don't anymore even if Im really pressing and feeling for it. I think it just takes time for your muscle to fully relax. Do you feel the seam only on the revision side or both sides?
Thanks for the comments and positive feedback...I'll keep posting my status so if anyone else is going through the same thing...it sure helps to go through this with so many other similar women! Thanks!
I only feel the implant seam on one side (the revision side) the right side has always been what I had expected the results to be like. Smokey5 thanks for your encouragement, you've hung in there with me for quite a while and I see you are almost one year with your implants too! Mine is mid-May and I hope that, like you and smarie5 said that its just a muscle to relax or scar tissue to help hide it. Its easier to keep my hopes up with positive comments from supportive women joining me in this journey! Thanx
I think yours look pretty. You are so lean, maybe that's why you can see the the bag?
Possibly...thanks for the kind words...

Amazing outcome! You look fantastic. Glad revision went so well.
Thanks for the "amazing" vote, can't really show people so it's nice to have a forum where I can get others opinions! Too bad you can't feel em...see my latest post and you'll know why!
So happy for you!
Nice to have people cheering for me!
Amen sista!!! Happy for you!!:)
Thanks, read my new update...oh boy!
Oh no!! How frustrating! I'm going Tuesday for my 6 month post op and we'll see what is up with me...right still hasn't dropped! I'm beyond frustrated!! I'm going to post a pic of what I look like now...nobody can tell me I was that deformed to begin with...lol what will you do now?
Time to wait and see I guess...I emailed the Dr., he said he can't really comment without an exam and I just don't have time to go in right now...I'll see him in June and see what he says.
