No, my Dr. only recommended Vitamin E, closed capsulotomy or surgery. I'm having a hard time trusting my doctor's advice at the moment. They recommended a closed capsulotomy which is a very outdated method to help CC, and they don't seem to be educated on new methods of helping CC. They seem to be stuck in the past.

Just followed your story. I was really hoping that you loved your outcome. Is it just me or are the people that post the ones with problems? I too ha a BA 5 weeks ago. My left feels great but my right is still tight and firmer. Trying to ignore other than massage. What are these pills? I've had 4 kids but they are grown now. So I decided now or never. I've had mixed emotions from the beginning. You do look great. Perfect body esp having 4 kids( right?) I thought I read that. Ive had 1! Appointment since sx day. Which I take as he's a machine. And hates all the in between complaints. Lol. My second appt is at 2 months po. Good luck and please post your journey.

It's been 6 months since my BA. My right breast is still firm, Dr suggested I come in and let her perform a closer capsulotomy on it (squeeze it until the firm capsule ruptures). Brief research online describes that method as basically arcane. So I opted out. I'm trying a product called BI secret, so we'll see how that goes. It advertises that it will soften firm breasts after BA, and you can even take it to prevent CC. I'll post updates every 2 weeks going forward to document the progress of the BI Secret.

You're results look great!!! Are you still happy with the size? I feel like I have a similar problem with mine still being "firm" Plus my right side didn't fully drop all the way!

It has been 5 months since my procedure, and I'm taking vitamin E to help the firmness in the right breast. It is still firm (which is disappointing, I did everything I was supposed to). Also, when I press the right breast inward, the line that was dissected was not a perfect curve (to make a rounded cleavage). There is a straight line instead of a curve, which made my breast pocket a little bit smaller and makes that breast look boxy instead of round when they're pushed together. I'll see Dr sometime next month, I called last Saturday and she (the nurse, the Dr'a wife) told me to call during the next week. I got her voicemail and she hasn't called me back. So, hopefully I'll see the Dr next month. I knew they wouldn't be perfectly symmetrical, but this isn't okay. Also, I got the impression after my procedure that my Dr is a "blame dodger". The day after my procedure I was in terrible pain and terribly nauseated. I was dry heaving in his office, and all he had to say was that none of his other patients got sick, I don't understand. We had to beg him for nausea medicine :( I was afraid to tell him about one breast still being firm, (hoping that with massage and supplements that it would relax on its own) because he might tell me it's my own fault somehow. But the improperly dissected breast pocket is in no way my fault. I really had hoped that even if I had issues, that my Dr would at least listen to me. Not make me feel like it's me against him :( it's incredibly sad to me. Being a paying customer and his patient, shouldn't the ultimate goal be my wellness and reasonable satisfaction with the results? Sorry to rant, I certainly wish I had nothing to say but "loving them!"

Ah jess sorry to hear this, I too had some issues felt mine were to big as I wanted the natural look . I had my BA August we chatted back then I went to my sg back in September told him I wasn't happy but I felt I wasn't been heard and just plaumaized . I was so upset and nervous I had made my next app for January I looked up a lot on here what surgeons suggested and I took that advice with me to my app yesterday. I explained how uncomfortable and not happy with my result I was really open with him and thankfully I seen my sg s love for his job he is going to do all new surgery on me I have to just decide with him now what size etc. All free to . I had not slept with worry. Please bring all your facts with you to your next app and have as much knowledge as possible. But in a polite business like manner. Ask him what is his revision policy? I really do hope you get support of yours I know your pain when it's like that.

I'm almost too upset to see them in person. They won't prescribe any medicine to help with the firmness. it's about half price to get a revision. When I mentioned the way the pocket was cut, she insisted it was cut the right way, but that the capsule was squeezing on the implant, causing it to not fill the pocket correctly. Which further inspection of the skin and implant, I can actually see what they mean. I'm trying a product called BI secret, I'm hoping it will help my firmness. Hopefully I can avoid another surgery. They're so old school that vitamin E, closed capsulotomies, and surgery are their only suggestions for this issue.
