Scar tissue?
So here's an update..not sure if anybody is following my updates but if they are would love some feedback. As you can see they have really gotten smaller. Let me start by saying that in comparison to my before I am totally happy with them. Am I 100%? No. :( One, I definitely should have bigger. Two, on my right breast in the inner part I have a hard lump which I was told by Dr.Krau was most likely scar tissue. Although its not very noticeable on the outside I see that it does change the shape of the breast a little. Anyhow, he said I should wait till the year and then if still there we would consider a revision. If I would go through with a revision I would consider possibly going bigger. Another reason I am not fully satisfied is I never got to see Dr. Krau for a follow up although he is always available via phone I thought I would get to see him at least once for a follow up. I was told by CG unless I was having a complication I wouldn't see him when I was told initially that at 6 months I would. Has anybody else had issues with scar tissue and had a revision?

I am currently 7 months after surgery. I do myself have a couple hard spots that dr said are normal. I really hope they are! I also do want a revision after the one year mark. I do love my results so far but I was hoping for a different look. It was very hard to find wish pics for my surgeon when not many "thick" girls have a lift and implant. You and I have a very similar build, I've been following your story. I havent updated mine In awhile, not sure anybody looks at it.

Same here, although they are obviously better than what I had, I did think they would look different. Not saying I am not happy with them just different than what I had envisioned in my mind. What were you thinking of having revised? I doesn't seem like my lumpy area is getting any better. :( It's like I have squarish boob instead of a round one. Your after does look a lot like mine. My biggest regret is not having more roundness on the upper part..

That's exactly what I wish I had more of. More upper pole and roundness/cleavage. And I think I just have a low sitting chest wall because I really thought maybe they would be up a little higher. Hopefully having a revision won't be as bad as the first surgery. Shouldn't be too involved just replacing an implant. But I'm not a surgeon. Can't do anything until the one year mark anyways, they always say u have to wait a year. It's just hard for the gals who need lifts, because your getting cut up as opposed to the gals who don't and they get better results.

I wonder if the revision can be done with just the small incision they do for implants? Will they also be able to correct the scar tissue like that to? I think if I need to be cut the original way don't know if I'll go through with it :( Anyhow, let's keep each other updated, I'll see how they look at the one year mark although I haven't noticed the hardness getting any better at all

I asked my surgeon about replacing my implants with a higher profile implant and he said he could and he would go thru the bottom scar. I would go with ultra high profile saline that I think maxes out at 800cc. It just sucks that I paid 8300 for this and I asked him how much for the implant replacement and he said 6300! I was a bit shocked by that. That it would be somewhat cheaper.
I will keep you updated on my progress. I'm curious to see also how things go at mammogram time. Hopefully they will take it easy with the implants in there and then to find out those hard spots are for sure scar tissue. When I first discovered them I was freaking out. But my surgeon said they are normal for healing. So... Hope that's right. I don't go back until October which I think will be my last visit with him. Keep me posted on your progress.

Will also keep you posted. Although my surgery was not as expensive, it is disappointing to have to even think about having it revised and on top of it having to pay for it again! Anyhow, I blame myself really for not asking more questions or doing more research. Yes, I am also wondering how the whole mammogram ordeal will go as I just turned 40 and will be getting one soon so I will also let you know about that lol. :)

I think that the larger the implant the greater the risk of scar tissue.
I am a Dolly Parton fam, so I can understand the desrire for larger breast.
