Another CC???? Full Implant Exchange to 510cc Gummy Bears from subfascial to under
$19,000
Im 3 days po. I got brand new gummy bear implants placed under the muscle this time. Day 3 lets see how it goes. I did the complete overhaul this time. The pain has been crazy!!!! Its finally getting better though. They look so weird right now i hope this is normal. Im gonna look at other reviews to see how day 3 po unders look. I asked for bigger but they sure dont look like it now. I hope this is my last time doing this.

My tummy tuck redo in February went well. He removed the capsule, my scar was lowered and I'm pretty much happy with that. Still having an issue with my BB but that will be redone too when the doc removes the 2nd capsule on 5/15. Yes I developed another capsule on the same breast it was removed from just 7 weeks after surgery!
So now I'm scheduled for a CC removal on 5/15/13. This time the doctor wants to use an ADM called Strattice. I am not sure about this device but he is saying that's the only way to potentially fix it. I want to place both implants under but doc said he'd still have to use an ADM for that since they are subfascial now.
Is there anybody out there who has heard of Strattice or used it with their breast aug? A drain will need to be placed in my breast to drain fluid when this ADM is used. Is there anyone who had subfascial placement then switched to unders?

Im so sorry you are going through this. I had no idea things had went bad. I wasnt able to see any pics that you had posted?!

Girl I know I removed all the pics. ; (
One good thing is that the scar lowering was successful. So sad I have another capsular contracture though. I'm getting another revision in 9 days so I hope this is the last one. This has been an ordeal. But I don't want to take them out so I guess I need to do what I need to do to fix it. I'm wondering if going u see the muscle will fix it? But then I will have to mess with the boobie that's ok. Glad I can wear a bikini without broadcasting my scar to everyone. After this is fixed I will be a happy camper. I prat all goes well I'm getting put to sleeo for my 3rd time.

Hey Tmonie!!! Im now 6 days po. After getting yet another cc i decided to do a full and complete redo under the muscle this time. I got the nee gummy bears which is also supposed to lessen the instance of cc as is going under the muscle. So hopefully this is it. I dont like this pain or the way the look right now but once they drop im hoping it will be pretty again! I done been thru it with these boobs girl and everything but its coming together. How are you??

Hey Fit Diva , I’m back out on the site looking at another procedure. I RSM you from Dec 2011 when I did my tummy tuck and Lipo. Didn’t realize you had issues and had to have a redo. Hope all is well. I just went back out and re-read all my posts from that time. It was a long road, but 9 years later and I’m still pleased. Time to look at my bat wings.

I need to have my tummy tuck redone. My scar is took high and it looks so ugly. It stick out of low rise jeans, panties, bathing suits etc. My BB is so unnatural looking. I HOPE that this can be fixed. At this point I am wondering if I did the right thing. I love my breast aug but maybe this TT wasn't the right thing for me. At any rate I am vested now and I can't keep it like this. I am hoping the second time will make it right. I think I was better off before I did this.
I had him fix my areola on my left breast and now that scar looks weird I hope that changes. They also tried to fix my BB its looks better but still not up to par. So I will have it fixed once I get my TT scar fixed.
I developed a capsular contracture in one of my breasts that needs to be fixed soon. So that TT, BB and breasts thats everything and everything needs fixing. I will have to be put to sleep to accomplish all these fixes. Just deciding if I should let them fix it or see another PS. AT any rate this needs to be done so I am gearing up,

Oh, honey, I am so sorry you are going through this! I will echo the other comments in that your weight at the time of surgery has very little to do with the scar location. He made a mistake and sounds like he is willing to fix it, but the anesthesia is a totally separate discipline, as is the hospital, and unless the ps pays them out of his own pocket they will want to be paid again. They did their jobs, the ps didn't do his. I would be leary of having him do the revision...just listen to your gut feeling and let that lead you!

Mothera8 thanks for your comment. That's a good point about them wanting to be paid again. They didn't make the mistake. You are so right!! And yes I am leary of him doing again. So I was having his partner who's much more experienced do it and have him. Still Im concerned. I just want it to be right. I think I'm gonna go to 2 of the ps' I went to for consults and have them take a look at it. I just need to swallow my pride. I really feel like I should have went two one of these 2 people anyway it was my last final choices. So I'm gonna let them see it to see if they want anything to do with it. It's kind of embarrassing but I would guess it wasn't the first time they've seen this. That would at least give me another opinion which I need. I still don't feel 100% about having them fix it.

I know that what we see when we look in the mirror is based on what we expectd to see post surgically and that it is very personal but, to me you look very pretty and fit just as you are BUT the issue is that you will probably always be disappointed in the scar level so this time you know much more clearly what to xpect which "might" make it easier emotionally. I sure hope so!
