Capsular contracture :(

Yup. Awful. I was in tears when it was confirmed. When my doc went to examine me, he squeezed me and my boob cracked and popped like a glowstick. That's the only way I can describe it. It hurt like hell. But of course it was soft immediately after. Sore, but soft. Well it's been one week, and I am starting to feel it harden again, even with me massaging it. Bummer... Also I didn't realize what I had done was a closed capsulotomy... Which 99% of doctors here completely disagree with. So... Now I'm back to square one. I may have to deal with one hard boob until I can afford a second surgery... Def going under the muscle next time.

New boobs, old bathing suit


Still not 100% happy with the feel

Afraid I may have slight cc ppb the right side. I'm thinking at this point they should both feel the same. I can still feel the ball like implant inside the right one. The left is completely soft and feels natural. Even the look of the right is more ball like at the top. My nurse hasn't emailed me back... Guess I'll have to wait for my check up in a few weeks. But I am not too optimistic at this point :( look great, but all I can think about is how hard it must feel to my husband or wonder if people can tell when I hug them. Bummer...

Dr. Joe makes me feel completely comfortable, and his staff is equally amazing. I've had plenty of personal references from his office, and I've loved all the results I've seen of his work.
