I am so frustrated! I just want to cry
$10,150
Ugh! So I am feeling extra dramatic today. My frustration is at an all time high. Reached out to my original ps, thinking I will need to go in for him to have a look/ touch of leftie to see if it is cc. I also am thinking I may need an mri. I am frustrated this is happening to me. I am frustrated I had surgery done. I am frustrated with surgeon. I am frustrated with all the costs. I started putting money away for whatever I may need. I only have $300 so far. So I guess we will see. Hoping some contracture girls will comment will I need this fixed right away? I wonder also if it could be rupture on left. That side has never felt "right" and now this pain 3 years later- sucks! Add me to your prayers girls that it's nothing serious and that pain subsides....

Capsular Contracture?
Been a while since my last update. Been trying not to focus so much on my breasts. Sooo everything has been going along fine then the other night when doing chest in workout class I started having pain. I lowered the weight and just took it easy. Now a few days later, my left breast seriously hurts. At first I was baffled by pain and was checking for lumps. Then when driving I realized it was like chest pain like really hurting. It hurts when someone leans on me. I am beyond upset and of course kinda panicking. Anyone know what to do. My breast still feels fairly soft to touch. I would love any help!!!!

OMG!! I just read your journey. Im SO SORRY for everything you have been through. Cosmetic Surgery should NOT leave you feeling so sad. I pray that you do not have capsular contracture. Maybe you should contact a new PS. Just for a consultation. I know you said you have a child, and you don't want to spend more $$ on this. This is your life though, and you deserve to be happy. Best of luck to you! :)

Thanks for your kind words. I am totally fearful that it's the start of capsular contracture/ don't know what else it could be. My leftie totally hurts like bad. I feel like I don't even want a bra on due to pain. I emailed my plastic surgeon. Thinking I am gonna have to get an mri done also.

I will seek out a 2nd opinion also! I just wish I could take the surgery back.

Over 2 years now
Over 2 years now. The depression and dissatisfaction comes and goes over my breasts. I still don't look in mirror naked, when I do- I get so discouraged. I want a revision eventually BUT I fear spending that much money and going under general anesthesia again. I feel selfish cause I have a child so money and health are important. I need to talk to a doc about options. I hate my white widened scars and the size of my aerolas also the bottom of my breasts are still constricted and you can feel my implant at bottom cleavage (squarish bulge). I also have unsightly veins on bottom right. Hoping to get some opinions soon. My goal is to live like this for 10 years, want my surgery to have felt somewhat financially worth it. Any fix before then makes me feel cheated based on price I paid. We will see how long I can hold out

They don't look bad at all. I'm. It seeing what you're seeing. I was burned and I would give just about anything to have your healthy tissue, flat and thin scars.

The areolas could be revised in office under local if you just want to fix that for now?

Hi Again,
I think your breasts look normal. They are fairly symmetrical, & The size is good for your frame. Your areolas are not too big, & I don't think your scars look bad at all.....But, if you are unhappy, then go get a consult on a revision. I personally think you look good.
Good luck!

I just realized my reply didn't post! Thanks for updating, good to hear fr you! I started a review for explant and lift bc that's the journey I think will be best for me after my bad Benelli. I'm sorry you're still having to deal w results that you haven't been happy with. I've found it takes so much fr my life, so much energy and negativity that goes into it. I hope to find a doctor I trust within a year. Have also started developing cystic-type bumps and I know for me the sooner the better. I have an app to see my ps who did my original surgery and wrote him a letter about how much this has changed my life for the worst and all the mistakes that were made and complications. So we will see where that goes in October. Wishing you the best in whatever you decide to do, and I understand not wanting to go through it all again after having a bad experience the first time! It scares me a lot, but the thought of staying this way to me is worse..
