You look amazing! Question when did you first notice the contracture? How long have you had the implant and was it on both sides or just one?

Got my stitches out today! Had a great office visit as usual. My incisions look great , the cut is very straight An perfectly in the creases of my boob so when they drop more they will be completely out of site ! Definitely excited about that. I'll post pictures of the incisions later tomorrow. They also took pictures for me today so you guys could get a better view of my boobs besides my selfies lol.

In the first couple days you really don't see the light at the end of the tunnel, but today I felt so good. I had finally slept In my bed which is the greatest feeling ever after multiple nights in a chair ... I'm only taking my pain pills at night now before bed which is great. I felt so good me and the family went to the beach today!! I couldn't get in due to my stiches still being in but at least I looked awesome in my bathing suit :)

Are you doing anything to prevent the recurrence of the capsular contracture?
June 12, 2017
No. I don't believe there is anything you can do Once you've had surgery. It's just our body's reaction to a foreign object. But my doctor put the implant in dual plane which was supposed to help prevent it . For how they feel An look I definitely think I dodged the bullet this time but only time will tell .

Did he replace with a textured implant?

Yes my surgeon says nothing you can do. I see other PS are prescribing a asthma medication to help prevent/treat it. I was curious because I had light contracture of both implants entire 15yrs last couple yrs the R breast pulled tighter due to rupture and leakage. Hoping I can keep my new soft boobies! Fingers crossed hoping to stay this way

No , I got mentor silicon round An smooth

OMG they look amazing!

Thanks for your responses. I wanted smooth they feel nicer after healed. My PS swears textured is better so that's what I got again. Supposedly they help reduce contracture and don't rupture as easily cause it's a thicker shell
June 17, 2017
Yea my PS replaced mine with textured as well. The downfall is that it doesn't bounce and move with my body like the smooth does.
June 17, 2017
Of course I love RealSelf . It's helped me so much. I've had to ba and neither donor has recommended textures. I don't know to much about them. But I hope the work out well for you when they heal An fluff

Do you like them overall ? How long ago was our revision? Do you want them redone again ?
June 17, 2017
I hate that you can't edit a response once you post it ... I meant a how long ago was your surgery mommysuperstar007

Thank you they are fine a lil stiff.Healing after 2nd BA is way easier my implant is the same size as before I teased my mom it was like a tire change for my chest. I wanted smooth. But my PS wasn't having it. They are like a Velcro implant. The smooth move in pocket. The textured grow in to the pocket. So less issues with slipping long run or malposition but don't feel as real. :)
