11 years ago I got a BA after breast feeding 2 kids. They have been great until last month. After a week my left side totally deflated. I will have surgery next week to remove the old saline ones and get new HP Mentor 450cc gel implants. I'm so ready to have it done. I'm tired of stuffing my bra so that I look even. My Dr also informed me that Mentor is going to cover my new implants at no cost, YAY! So my fee went from $5475 to $2835. I never planned on getting new ones until this. I hope this surgery goes as smooth as the first. He said it will be easier. I hope so:-)

Wow deflation!?! Do you know what caused it? Every morning when I wake up that's the first thing I check! Funny, but not funny! I hope all goes well! Keep us updated I'd love to see the results.

The Dr just said he thinks its because they were old. I'll know for sure in the morning. I'm hoping he can tell by looking at the implant itself. I just posted before pics and I'll post some tomorrow sometime after the surgery.

Four days away from surgery and just picked up meds and bras. I'm getting nervous but so ready to have my deflated implant out and get my new ones. I'm hoping my 475cc HP gels are a good fit for me. My old ones were 375cc saline and decided to get a little bigger. I just don't want to look way to big.

The left side is deflated:-( I will be taking out 375cc saline and replacing with HP 475cc silicone gel implants.
Glad you're able to get your revision. The bra stuffing must be challenging...what are you using? Do you know what may have initiated the deflation? Perhaps just old implants. That's amazing your implant cost is covered. I thought it was a 10 year warranty?? Yes, I have heard that revision surgeries are a bit easier. Thank you in advance for answering all my questions. I'm very excited for you! Oh, and there is a breast implant revision forum that you might enjoy!
That's great news about the replacement implants being free! Was it a hard decision to go from saline to gel implants?
That makes sense. ;) Good luck tomorrow...we'll be thinking of you!
