My current implants are 14 years old. I have saline under the muscle and lots of bottoming out. They are the typical mom boobs. I had my first surgery when my daughter was 2 1/2. My natural breasts were a small B, athletic look. My largest when pregnant and nursing was a DD. So I was left with lots of extra skin. I was fine with it but my husband at the time was a "boob guy" and was researching implants for me "I know right?" A dr in town did them and they looked great for a few years after. At the same time, I did a lot of body pump classes & weight training. I think that pushed them down as well as aging. Lately they have been bothering me. I'm 44 almost 45. My skin is showing my age the worst. I'm loosing the elasticity. I've been divorced almost 8 years and being single and dating, I would like my body to look like I feel. There are so many options for surgery now. Most of the photos I've seen for revisions have the lollipop scars. I am not a big fan of scars. In fact my first augmentation was done through the areola and no scaring. Dr. Don Revis will be doing my breast revision surgery in December. So excited! This app really helped me be informed on what type of options are available. The photos and discussions helped tremendously. I feel like going to Dr. Revis is the right decision. A local PS wanted to replace my implants with no internal work. From what I have read on here , this happens a lot which leads to more surgeries down the road. If there are more surgeries down the road they're going to be in new areas!

Glad to hear RealSelf has been helpful with your journey so far! I agree, revisions can be tricky so good for you for doing your research. Do you have to travel far for your revision?

I'm flying. I'm in Northwestern Louisiana and I'm going to Fort Lauderdale. It is too far to drive. After checking the tristate area, I decided to go with my first choice and get it right this time. I consulted with a PS here and mentioned internal support and the look I wanted. I was told it would just make the procedure more complicated and costly. I was told replacing my current implants with new ones would achieve the look I wanted. But from the reviews from the PS on here, I know I wouldn't be happy. All the doctors agree I need a lift. So grateful I found this site! Feel confident about my decision, upcoming surgery and the outcome! Thank you Real Self!

I think your wise to address the lift now instead of just getting new implants. Do you know what type of bra restrictions you'll have post op with the internal bra? I have heard some doctors say no underwire bras for 6+ months. Feel free to be the first to comment on the December 2016 breast implant revision forum. It is quiet now, but will become busy as we get closer to December!

I'm seeing Dr Revis in a few weeks for a revision. I've got the after implant mom boobs as well, and they are bottoming out. Excited for Revis to give me the internal bra sutures and a mini lift, I don't want the scars either.

I am pretty happy with the results so far. I am wondering about the sutures around my areolas. It looks like maybe they slipped, or pulled loose or something. I am using medaderm for scarring and hopefully they will fade. I do wish the size of my nipples were the same as before the surgery. They are bigger now. I didn't want a lollipop incision due to the scarring or under the breast but now I am reconsidering my original thinking. In all, very great look and happy.

The sutures around the aerolas looked the same on me but they have diminished and it looks a lot normal. I freaked out when I first saw myself but they are normal and the wrinkly puckering went away :) happy healing doll! For anything I am here for any Revis Patient

How are you doing?

I'm happy with them. They are dropping a lot slower than I thought they would but nipples look great. I'm on 3 months of Singulair to help soften the implants and massaging. The right one is firmer, hoping it will soften up soon.

do u have a lot of rippling? Mine are 500 overfilled to 610 and I have so much rippling

I don't have any rippling. They look just like I asked. I do wish I hadn't gone so big. I am a 3D. I wish I had gone with either a D or 2D. I used my facial blaster on my upper chest to help them move down. Next month will be a year and they finally are in the right place. I feel lucky they turned out so well, considering how extensive the procedure was and how small the amount of error is needed for major problems! I massaged a lot and like I said used my facial blaster and it helped a lot. I am very satisfied.

I'm happy with my breast augmentation revision. Dr. Revis performed a very complex lift with internal bra procedure with excellent results. It was worth every penny!

Don't mean to sound negative but at 3 month u should have more progress... I would be worried about the one which is harder n tighter, what I had at 3 months on my right side when he offered to surgically lower it and didn't confirm I had a cc... lowered it, stitched my nipple to the cupsule, and only made things worse... now my right boob is horrifying! If u have any questions please visit my story and pm me... I hope your progress get better by 6 months!
